Officer Staley Wins Two Hearings in Assault Case
In High Point North Carolina the Civil Service Commission cut Police Chief C C Stoker’s penalty against Officer J E Staley from four weeks to two weeks and two demerits after a court found Staley used only necessary force in the June 27 arrest of Jack Green. Green claimed excessive force and questioned Staley’s conduct at the station. The ruling followed lengthy testimony, with Staley’s defense presenting witnesses praising his character and work.

Citizens favor municipal auditorium for High Point
S J ONeill and Kathleen Foster urge a city auditorium to host plays music and concerts and basketball games.
