Her attacker is alleged to be
a young Negro.
The woman, Mrs. Gloria Ann
Tutor, 31, of 1104 Wake Forest

CAUGHT IN THE ACT - New York: Success wasn’t in store for Luis
Baruchers and Ernest Reed after duo staged $4,400 holdup of bank in
midtown Manhattan here Aug. 13. Actual robbery was executed with
reasonable precision, but getaway plan was a mess. 1) The duo caused
an alarm to be set off; 2) had movie made of caper; 3) failed in two at
tempts to use taxis as getaway cars; and 4), stumbled into an off-duty
policeman, who gave chase, resulting in capture a few blocks from scene.
Here, Reed (R), 47, a laborer, and Baruchers, 46, walk steathily from
bank after holdup. Incidentally, Baruchers, not very good at his trade,
was released only in June from Sing Sing where he was serving an 18-
vear sentence for- you guessed it bank robbery. (UPI PHOTO).

Following the charges made

projects administered by Wake
Opportunities, Inc., and no pub
lic dental being made by any
of those named by the Demo

Gov. Dan K. Moore Thursday

alleged charges by federal and
state authorities.
A representative of this
newspaper has tried in vain on
at least tour occasions to con
tact two of the persons ac
cused by Scott, without any suc
cess.
Another state agency involved
is the Good Neighbor Council
of North Carolina, whose chair
man SsDavidS. Coltrane, Moore
ordered Coltrane to "make a
full investigation of Scott's al

of the Council, Paul T. Walker,

have been paid a consultant's

TWO MEN ARGUE, ONE CUT
"I have no doubt that race
was a factor," Judge Will said,
“but I have equally no doubt
that numbers were a factor,
“You picked a bad test case,"
the judge told Stanley Bass,
Mrs. Page’s lawyer. I would
like to see a good test case,
but this isn’t it.
“There is sufficient reason
to believe Mrs Carter would
have done the same thing if
Mr. Page were as white as
Morit Blanc."
Testimony revealed that Mrs.
Carter had rented the apart
ment to Mrs. Page, who had
told Mrs. Carter that she and
her twoteenage daughters would
occupy the apartment.
But when it was learned that
Mrs. Page’s black husband also
intended to live there, Mrs.
Carter refused -- according to
testimony -- to let them move

“Four is just too many peo
