Indians Shoot Up
KKK Rally In
North Carolina
LUMBERTON, N.C., UP>—Sher
iff Malcolm McLeod says he will
ask a grand jury today to indict
a Ku Klux Klan leader who had
his rally shot out from under him
by whooping Indians.
The Robeson County law of
ficer said he wanted charges of
inciting to riot brought against
the Rev. James Cole of Marion,
S.C., self-styled KKK leader of
groups in both Carolinas.
Cole, claiming he was denied
his rights under the law because
he is a member of the white race
said he planned legal action
against the sheriff.
Cole’s rally near here Saturday
night ended with Klansmen and
spectators scrambling for safety
as hooting Indians emptied rifles,
shotguns and pistols into the
meeting field.
The Indians were outraged by
reports the Klan intended to
warn them against race mixing
and by the fact that two KKK
crosses were burned near Indian
homes during the preceding week.
“We were meeting on private
property we had leased when
these Indians invaded us, shot us
up and stole our equipment,”
Cole said. “Now the sheriff wants
to indict me and other Klansmen
for inciting a riot but he’? not
going to do anything about the
Indians. I asked for police pro
tection before this started and I
was refused.
“I’m being denied my rights
because of my race.”
Although Indians poured bul
lets for 10 minutes into a field
where people milled in pitch
darkness, only four men were
wounded—none of them serious
ly.
Simeon Oxendine, son of the
mayor of the Indian community
of Pembroke, proudly wrapped
himself in a captured KKK ban
ner and winked at newsmen.

NG-NS, Merchants
Remain Unbeaten
In Second Half
A capacity crowd was on hand
Friday night for two fine basket
ball games at the school gym.
In the first game a full squad
of High School Nanooks put up
a fight against the high flying
Merchants only to fall beyond
striking distance in the closing
minutes of play. The scoring by
quarters went 19-7, 26-19, 34-24
and the final 49-32 in favor of the
Merchants. Scoring for the win
ners: G. Bell 20, H. Bell 14, Sah
lin 6, Castel 5, and Ozenna 4. For
the Nanooks: Maloney 9, Kost 8,
Fagerstrom 8, Senungetuk 3, A.
Bell 2, and Larsen 2.
The second game proved a
thriller with the National Guard
North Star five pulling out in
front of the Polar Hornets in
the final minutes of play to win
43 to 35. In the first half it was
all NG-NS as the Hornets had
trouble hitting the hoop. In the
third quarter they closed the gap
and for most of the final period
the score was virtually tied. A
series of quick baskets by the
NG-NS then brought them vic
tory by an 8-point margin.
Scoring for the victors were:
.Carlson 19, Luke 10, Kugzruk 7,
D. Bell 5, and Atuk 2. For the
Hornets: Willoya 20, Herman 8,

Two Children Crippled by Polio
Awarded $147,300 From Cutter
Laboratories For Faulty Vaccine
OAKLAND, Calif., 0?)—A jury
which said it had no choice under
the judge’s instructions awarded
$147,300 for two children crip
pled by polio after they received
injections of allegedly faulty
Salk vaccine in 1955.
The judgement was against
Cutter Laboratories, which had
produced the vaccine.
It may set a precedent in settl
ing 31 more suits against Cutter
and many others against four
other drug firms.
Cutter president, Dr. Robert K.
Cutter, said he will appeal. The
jurors said they did not believe
Cutter was negligent in prepara
tion of its vaccine, but under the
judge’s interpretation of the law
it must find for the children.
The plaintiff’s attorney Mel
vin Belli, hailed the decision as
‘ihe first which makes a manu
facturer stand behind his product

They had sued jointly for $365,

with its decision which said the
majority felt Cutter Laboratories
was not negligent “either directly
or by inference.”
The statement continued “with
regard to the law of warranty,
we feel we have no alternative
but to conclude that Cutter mar
keted vaccine which caused the
plaintiffs to come down with
poliomyelitis.”
The trial lasted 28 days.
One juror, Mrs. Anita Steiner,
said “We felt obligated to follow
the law, whether we agreed with
it or not.”
Superior Judge Thomas J. Led
wich was explicit in his instruc
tions. After the verdict he said:
“It boiled down to this—did
the children get polio from the
vaccine or didn’t .they? You can
call it a directed verdict.”
The lone dissenting juror, Mrs.
Jennie Tennant, said she was not
convinced the children had be
come diseased from the vaccine.
