OATIS News staff writer SPARTANBURG A young Gaffney man arrested in Spartanburg Thursday was being held Monday on 16 forgery charges that allege he was the ringleader behind a complicated fraudulent check-cashing scheme, officials said. According to Greenville County officials, some $4,000 to $8,000 worth of bogus checks issued by a non-existing company were cashed. Glenn E. Hughes, 20, of 114 Apache Drive, Gaffney, was charged with 16 counts of forgery Monday by Greenville County investigators, said Greenville County Sheriff's Department spokesman Earl Barnett. The warrants were served on him in the Spartanburg County Consolidated Jail.

Investigators said they would take tion to cash the checks when a man posed as an employer and collected drivers license numbers and other information from unsuspecting job candidates. The phony checks also were allegedly sold for about $1,500, Barnett said. Greenville County Detectives Tommy Seigler and Gary Tolison began their investigation when fraudulent checks, none for less than $117, began turning up about a month ago, Barnett said. The checks were issued by the Southern Carpet Cleaners a company that, Barnett said, was "fictitious." Investigators found that many of the checks bore the name and drivers license number of a Ronald Davis. Davis told the detectives he had been seeking a job and had been referred to the company by the state job service.

He Hughes to the Greenville detention center Tuesday. In addition, Barnett said, Augusta, authorities are reportedly preparing forgery warrants to be served on Hughes. He said police also had obtained information that another bogus check operation was being set up at a Spartan-burg-area motel. Spartanburg County sheriff's deputies apprehended Hughes early Thursday morning at the motel on a fugitive from justice warrant. Hughes is wanted by Cleveland County, N.C., sheriff's deputies on charges of assaulting an officer, breaking and entering, and larceny.

He allegedly attempted to run down a Cleveland County detective with a car more than a yearago. Barnett said the scheme allegedly involved obtaining identification informa By JONATHAN W. OATIS i News staff writer SPARTANBURG It was a busy weekend for county and city law enforcement officers. County officers arrested a Spartanburg woman in connection with the slaying of her boyfriend. Detectives also arrested an escapee from a Georgia pre-release center early Sunday morning in connection with two storebreakings.

Meanwhile, a city police officer apprehended an 8-year-old boy Sunday who had allegedly been ripping seats and smashing headlights on school buses at a local high school. And some 45 to 50 windows, most of them in cars, were smashed with BB gun pellets Saturday night. The county sheriff's department arrested a Spartanburg woman Sunday in connection with the Sunday morning pistol slaying of her male roommate. Betty L. King, 26, of 1625 Union was charged with murder, said Detective Dennis Sprouse of the county "sheriff's department.

Sprouse said the woman allegedly Shot Matthew A. Anderson, 36, also of 1625 Union once in the chest with a pistol, killing him. Sprouse said that the slaying occurred in the couple's mobile home and that another person present called officers. County detectives also arrested Johnny M. Hampton, 22, of Rome, after Hampton wrecked an allegedly stolen car while being chased by sheriff's deputies, Sprouse said.

It was discovered that Hampton had escaped from the Atlanta Advancement Center, a work-release center for convicts. He was served with a fugitive from justice warrant grandparents, Mr. and Monday. Hampton had been charged Sunday with two counts of sto-rebreaking, two counts of grand larceny and one of auto theft. Sprouse said Hampton allegedly stole a 1977 Ford LTD II, two boxes of ball point pens and some cigarettes from Solesbee's Used Car Lot on Howard Street outside Spartanburg.

Sprouse said Hampton allegedly damaged 11 cars trying to start them without a key. Hampton also allegedly stole some crackers and tools from Bob's Tops and Glass Shop, an auto repair shop located near Solesbee's. Sprouse said the investigation is continuing. The 8-year-old boy was apprehended by a city police officer shortly after noon Sunday. According to a police report, the officer, responding to a call, chased the boy across a field near Dorman High School on the west side of Spartanburg.

The officer said that the boy and another child who got away had allegedly smashed the headlights on at least three buses, ripped six seats in one bus, and stolen two fire extinguishers and a first aid kit from other buses. The boy was charged with malicious destruction of state property and grand larceny. The boy's name could not be released because he is a juvenille. City police began receiving reports of window smashings all over the city Sunday morning. Some 45 to 50 windows, most of them in cars, were shot out with a BB gun, said Capt.

CP. Sawyer Jr. of the city police. He estimated total damage at $5,000. Sawyer said police have no suspects yet.

"Anything parked out on a street, they shot," Sawyer said. "One thing I've never understood is what kicks people get out of destroying other people's property." i nomas McAtee Mineral Home, lnlcrmenl will be in Westminster First Baptist Church Cemetery in Westminster.

Superintendent Grady Sanford said the district now has one black assistant principal and no black principals "at this time." The three, led by the Rev. Samuel C.

Jones, requested that black applicants be considered for principal positions that recently opened at D. R. Hill Middle School and Well-ford Primary due to the retirement of their current principals. Sanford said that both positions fiad been filled through promotion Warren S. Curry, 88, re from within the schools' staffs and "we look for the best qualified people we can find.

"It is our policy to promote from within." The board received the group's request as information. In other business, the board of trustees considered a request from Charisma Studio for the purchase of the old D.R. Hill school property in Duncan. Staff members will study the land available and the possibility of an appraisal. Sanford told the board that he still is interviewing for the assistant principal position at D.R.

Hill Middle School and gave board members an update on pending legislation in the General Assembly. vices for Oscar Cantrell, tired merchant, of 709 N. cil proposed that the county take over the center's operations with the 60 per-cent-40 percent setup and authorized the city to select new personnel with final hiring to be done by the county council. City officials said that city hiring practices would be followed and all applicants qualified would be considered. The county's proposal was the result of a recent challenge by Sheriff Larry Smith, who said he needs experienced deputies dispatching the department patrol cars.

Smith wanted law enforc-ment officers behind the center's consoles or the placement of an individual unit at the county courthouse. Both the city and county councils say the removal of a console would destroy the 911-emergency number system and do considerable harm to the efficiency of the law enforcement system. Also, a onetime cost of $23,000 would be required to move -the consoles and a $1,500 monthly cost would be needed to keep the 911 system intact. City Police Chief W.C. Bain said that city police also have had problems with the communication center dispatchers, but have been able to work them out.

"The major problem I have is when a dispatcher is not properly trained," he said. "I don't care if the dispatcher is a sworn officer of the law or a civilian as long as he is properly trained." Warlick admitted that the haggling between the two councils is "getting out of hand" and said the city may have to compromise by allowing Smith to make a 60-day trial run with sheriff's dispatchers behind certain consoles for comparison purposes. Carstarphen said he opposes that idea because "any time you assign the personnel of one agency into another agency to operate a test system you inevitably run into problems, such as dual authority and confusion on the part of the employee as to who he is responsible to." (See Center p. 5-B) By SUSAN CLARY News staff writer SPARTANBURG City officials Monday rejected the county council's proposed takeover of the joint city-county communications center, and voted to fill six of the eight vacant positions there and send the county a bill for its share of the cost. The city council also approved a new animal control ordinance to go into effect July 1, 1980, and amended its alcoholic beverages ordinance to conform with state law.

City and county officials have met head-on over the joint communications center in the past several months and city councilmen Monday declared that the situation at the center has reached the crisis stage. They said the vacant positions are causing a deterioration in the morale and operating capacities of the center and made the three-month training program for new employees virtually nonexistent. At the urging of City Manager William Carstarphen, the council unanimously voted to reject a county takeover of the operation unless a new joint law enforcement center is constructed to include the communications center and the county agrees to pay 100 percent of the cost of its operation. The county now pays 60 percent and the city 40 percent of the communications center's costs. Mayor Frank Allen said the city would consider a county takeover if the above conditions are met and the city can be assured that the center will be run "in a professional and not a political manner." Councilman Hal Warlick said that negotiations can go on forever.

"We are being held accountable for the services provided by that center and I say go ahead and hire the people we need." In a March 12 letter, jfhe county coun Main died Monday.

But McGrady said it is unlikely the uninsured portion of the damage will pass the $1 million mark, which would make the county eligible for federal assistance as a major disaster area.

"There probably won't be enough uninsured damage for a major declaration," he said, "but we may come up with a declaration by the Small Business Administration. That would mean that businesses hurt by the storm, and homeowners with uninsured damage to homes, could apply for low interest loans from the SBA." "We're going to try to get a real firm figure, and I think we'll have it by Wednesday or Thursday," McGrady said. The damage estimate will be submitted to the state Disaster Preparedness Agency, he said, "and depending on the amount of damage, it could be submitted to the governor's office for a recommendation." Blacks issue protest Local black leaders met with members of the Greenville County school board Monday to express discontent over the school district's busing of black students, current plans for the location of new schools and the number of black teachers and administrators now employed in the district. "We feel we have some problems," said S.T. Peden, president of the Greenville branch of the NAACP.

"We want to receive some data today and ask some clarifying questions, then go digest that information and come back with some recommendations." Peden asked the trustees to explain a three-year study currently underway on the assignment of students to various schools. The official in charge of the study, Norman Mullins, said that when the project is completed, "We will know where we stand and where we'll be five or 10 years from now" in the context of a desegregation court order. The black leaders questioned why the trustees should be undertaking such a major study without concurrently slowing down the district's building program. The board is trying to accelerate its building program as an assault on the problem of overcrowded schools. The board is seeking to move ahead, by a full year, the district's building program by increasing capital expenditures for one year.

Disco suit filed A New York based music licensing firm filed suit in federal court Monday against a Greenville discotheque, alleging that the nighu luh acted in violation of federal law by playing copyrighted recordings without the licensing firm's authorization. The suit by Broadcast Music, Inc. alleges that the Electric Warehouse, located at 10 Bacon St. in Greenville, failed to pay royalties to composers of six songs including "Dance. Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)" by Chic, and "Night Fever" and "You Should be Dancing" by the Bee Gees.

Both groups are BM1 clients. BMI, one of several licensing firms nationwide which act as clearinghouses for collecting royalty fees and disbursing them to composers, collects money from any entity which performs its clients' music to an audience, including music performers, radio stations, nightclubs, restaurants and hotels. The suit filed in U.S. District Court against the Electric Warehouse could result in a minimum fine of $250 for each of the six songs named in the complaint. Don Griffin, owner of the Electric Warehouse, said the suit came as a "complete surprise," adding that "nobody has contacted tne face-to-face and asked me why we were rejecting payment (of royalties)." Griffin said the nightclub already pays $925 per year to the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.

ASCAP is another licensing firm which represents songwriters whose material is played at the club The amount of money paid by nightclubs to licensing firms depends on the capacity of the building. For example, a discotheque with a capacity of 500 persons, charging admission at any time and operating six nights per week, would pay BMI (690, Griffin said the proliferation of licensing firms, together with the increasing fees they charge, has nightclub owners worried He said owners are in the process of forming the "International Discotheque Association" to deal with the problem. Loan pool discussed City officials formally met with Greenville hankers Monday to discuss formulating a low-interest loan poo! to rehabilitate homes of moderate-and low income people. Though they did not commit themselves to any program, the bankers representing First Federal, Fidelity Federal and South Carolina Federal agreed to help refine details of a city plan for financing spot rehabilitation. The plan, which the city indicated is being used only as a model for discussion, would have the savings and loan associations establish a pool of money specifically for lending to moderate-and low-income property owners in residential areas with the same income designations.

The subsidized loans would also be available to low and moderate-income families not living in low or moderate-income areas but who. because of age or economic status, need financial help rehabilitating their homes. Further, unlike the city's community development program for renovating blighted areas, this model plan offers subsidized loans for owners of rental properties. The city's community development plan is aimed only at owner-occupied housing and requires any rehabilitation area to have at least 50 percent ownerpccupied housing area. burial in Greenlawn Springs.

wife of Richard S. Ban nister, died Sunday. By SALLY SAUNDERS News staff writer SPARTANBURG Litigation filed in the aftermath of the October 1977 collapse of the Andrews Building continues to mount, resulting in a tangle of court cast's, none of which have been resolved. The latest court action is the appeal of a state Industrial Commission decision made in the case of Fred F. Parris, an Inman construction worker who was one of five men killed in the collapse.

The Industrial Commission recently decided in a 4-2 vote that Parris was an employee of Big Chief a Florida company in charge of the building's demolition, and that workman's compensation is the sole legal remedy available to Parris' family. The commission's decision restricts recovery to workman's compensation and would not allow the family to sue Big Chief, said Spartanburg attorney James B. Stephen, who is representing the Inman family. A federal suit was filed last year on behalf of the Parris family naming Big Chief and Tompkins an Oklahoma City demolition firm that was subcontracted to handle the implosion of the 63-year-old building. Stephen said he is appealing the Industrial Commission decision to the circuit court in hopes of having the decision reversed.

"The outcome of this appeal will determine whether the family has the right to sue Big Chief," Stephen said. Parris was a veteran employee of Durham Brothers, a Spartanburg salvage firm that was hauling away materials from the building's demolition. It is the family's contention that Parris was an employee of Durham Brothers although on the day of the collaspe he was helping employees of Big Chief and Tompkins. Stephen said Parris never left the employment of Durham Brothers and was never on Big Chief's payroll. "It was a case of the companies switching off," Stephen argued.

However, the Industrial Commission decided Parris was a Big Chief employee on the day of the collapse, which restricts recovery to the workman's compensation allowed following a work site death. Stephen said the Parris case is the only suit filed following the collapse where the limitations imposed by workman's compensation might be a question. He said he could continue with a suit against the Oklahoma firm if the appeal of the commission decision fails in the courts. The Parris appeal adds yet another case to the glut of litigation that has been filed since the building collapse 17 months ago. None of the cases have been resolved.

There have been four lawsuits two in federal court and two in circuit court filed in behalf of the families of three of the dead men. The federal suits have been delayed as the court struggles with the question of whether Big Chief's insurance covered the Andrews Building job a question that arose after the families' suits were filed. The federal court must make a decision on Big Chief's insurance coverage before the suits filed by the families can be resolved. No decision has been made. Some resolution has been made of the two suits filed in Circuit Court.

The suits filed by the widow of one of the dead workers, Sheila B. Collins, named the two out-of-state demolition companies in one action and the city of Spartanburg in the other. A January decision by 7th Circuit Judge Wade Weatherford removed Big Chief from the first suit. The Weather-, ford ruling stated the woman must seek recovery through workman's compensation laws in regards to Big Chief, but allowed the woman to continue her suit against Tompkins and Durham Brothers. Mrs.

Collins' suit against the city, based on a nuisance complaint, is scheduled to come up during the June term of Civil Court. (See Decision, p. 5-B) belonging to private schools go to private use," Hinkle said. "I fijjnk our job is to apply the law equally as we see it, and from there it would be up to the Tax Commission or a court to decide differently." Hinkle said it would take a full audit of how a private school uses proceeds from exempted properties, "and we are just not equipped to perform that kind of audit." He said questionable tax exempted properties would have to be worked out by the Tax Commission and the General Assembly. "I really doubt many of the questionable tax exemptions will go to court but rather worked out by the Tax Commission and the General Assembly," Hinkle said.

I think it is our job to apply the law equally as we see it, and from there it would be up to the Tax Commission or a court to decide differently. Doug Hinkle, Tax Commission field director. i SPARTANBURG Larceny was by far the most common crime han-' died by the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Department last month, a recent report shows. Further, more serious crimes are committed by younger people than any other age group. The report is the first compiled by the department's new federally funded crime analysis team.

Some $12,000 in funds from the federal Law Enforcement Assistance Ad- ministration are being used to keep the sheriff's department up-to-date on crime in Spartanburg County. Lt. Larry Powers of the depart-1 ment said the statistics will aid offi- cers in making decisions on where to put deputies and how to most ef- fectively use them. The statistics do not include crimes handled by municipal de- partments, including the Spartan- burg city police. Of 953 total reported crimes in Spartanburg County last month, 252 were larcenies.

The next highest crime category was 125 miscellane- ous crimes, which, according to team member Sgt John Blackwood, includes dog bites. State Law Enforcement Division spokesman Hugh Munn noted that "Spartanburg is no different from the rest of the state" in terms of larceny being the leading crime. There were 121 cases of vandalism and 104 cases of breaking and entering, the third and fourth most repor-terd crimes. Most of the alleged offenders arrested in February were young. Of 113 arrested for crimes such as rape, murder, robbery, assault, breaking and entering, larceny and auto theft, 71 were between the ages of 17 and 28.

Of these, 34 were 17 to 20 years old. There were 48 people arrested for assualt in February. Of these, 23 were 17 to 28 years old, and of those, 10 were 17 to 20 years old. Of 41 people arrested for larceny, 30 were 17 to 24 years old. Violent crimes, larcenies and robberies were fairly well distriubted over time.

But 45.6 percent of offenses such as arson, forgery, prostitution, narcotics, gambling and driving under the influence occured during the second shift from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.. WOODRUFF The Woodruff Town Council learned that a large part of the town's work force will be lost Sept. 30 due to cutbacks in federal public service employees. Town Clerk Beverly Maddox told council seven of nine Woodruff employees will be lost due to cutbacks in the federally funded Comprehensive Employment and Training Act program.

Five work for the city street department and two in the recreation department. The remaining two work in the street department. Last week Woodruff requested that three of the street department employees and one of the recreational workers be kept on after the Sept. 30 deadline Mrs. Maddox said there has been no answer to that request yet.

In other action, the council unanimously approved a zoning map that had been corrected by the county planning commission. The council also approved a zoning permit modeled after county zoning permits. the home; her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. G.

He said he hadn't "received any word on anything being taken off the tax rolls." Concerning an appeal if the property were removed from tax rolls, Sanders said, "I don't know until the time comes and I'm faced with the situation." He added that he understood that the Tax Commission would be responsible for determine tax exemptions under the new act and "if that's the general law don't think I could appeal." Hinkle said the Tax Commission has until June 1 to return tax exemption lists to the state's 46 counties, "and when that happens I expect a lot of county tax assessors to study the list carefully." Hinkle said he expects "many, many" appeals from county tax assessors on lists returned to them by the Tax Commission. Greenville County Tax Coordinator, Clyde Roberts, could not be reached for comment.

"It is almost impossible to find out if proceeds from tax-exempted properties (See Tax, p. 5-B) By DALE PERRY News suft writer The Upstate field director of the Property Tax Division of the S. C. State Tax Commission said Monday he will recommend that an 18-hole golf course owned by Furman University and a 600-acre beef cattle farm owned by Bob Jones University and located partially in Laurens County be exempted from taxes under new state laws. Field director Doug Hinkle said he will also recommend to the State Tax Commission that an additional1 100 residential properties owned by Bob Jones University be exempted from taxes.

Htnkle said it is his position that new state tax laws allow the two schools to have the exemptions "because the law specifically states 'all property belonging to all schools will be exempted." Htnkle said the new state tax laws, designed to make property tax exemptions unified on a statewide basis, go on to say that proceeds from property exemptions cannot go for private use. "The law is very clear with the 'all property belonging to all schools' but the same law makes it awfully hard to determine whether proceeds going to a school are for private use." Hinkle said. Hinkle. noting that the GOO-acre farm bordering Greenville and Laurens counties owned by Bob Jones University had been on the tax rolls in previous years, said it is his opinion that if Furman University's golf course is to be exempted from property taxes then so should the BJU farm. "That is the way I see it according to new state tax laws," Hinkle said.

"But what recommendation I make will have to be upheld at the state level by the Tax Commission." Hinkle said he does not have adequate staff to perform field checks on the use of tax-exempted properties, "and in the cases involving Furman University and Bob Jones University, we are just taking the words of officials from the two schools." Hinkle said Furman University officials told him proceeds from the golf course go for general operations of the school. He said he had not discussed how proceeds from the Bob Jones University farm are used, "but I would assume the profits from the farm are not for private use and go to operate the school."
