Mother Makes Appeal At Funeral Of Men Slain In Police Shootout New Films Arrive "At Carnegie THE NEWS SAULT STE 1, MAR. 1, IS By BOB INGLE Associated Press Writer BESSEMER, Ala. Final rites for two men killed in a shootout with Atlanta police included an emotional appeal Mrs. Dorothy Ciore of Bessemer rose during the services Wednesday, said she realized her actions were unusual, then told mourners: "Johnny Boyd and Darnell Wingfield were healthy and brilliant. They gave themselves to you, and io all our people who are oppressed.

Don't cry. Don't stop here. We must be a liberated people. "Let us get the kids off the streets. Let us get rid of the dope.

Let us leave the white man's evil to the man. And Africa will rise." Afterward, the flag of the Republic of New Africa, a black separatist organization, was placed in both gray, blaek- trimmed caskets. Several mourners wore buttons bearing the flag's red, black and green Natives of this Birmingham suburb. Boyd, 24, and Wingfield, "0. were half-brothers.

They died Friday in a gun battle with Atlanta policemen. Boyd was charged with the Dec. 27 slaying of Detroit patrolman Robert Bradford and the wounding of his partner. Wingfield, however, was not wanted, Atlanta police said. Boyd apparently was living with his half-brother, an Atlan- tan.

Tuesday, Mark Clyde Bethune, 21, also wanted in the Detroit slaying, was killed in a shootout with police in Atlanta. A third man charged in the slaying, Hayward Brown, is jailed in Detroit. The funeral was held in the chapel of a funeral home. Some 100 persons were in attendance and there was not room for all Welfare Cheaters To Be Hauled Into Oakland Court PONTIAC, Mich. County's new prosecutor, ending a month's moratorium on welfare fraud prosecutions, says he will issue six warrants against accused welfare cheaters.

L. Brooks Patterson, former attorney for the antibusing National Action Group, said the moratorium netted more than $40,000 in illegally acquired welfare money. In a crusacle against welfare cheaters, Patterson issued 10 ''blind -ivarrants" midway through the month's moratorium to make "all the cheaters wonder if they were on the list." Four persons named in warrants arranged restitation following their issuance, said Patterson, who was elected prosecutor in the November election. He responded to criticism by a county welfare group by saying "the cheaters, not my office, give welfare a bad name." "I certainly recognize that there are many needy peopla subsisting on public assistance through no choice of their own, and they need and deserve the help," Patterson said. "I don't intend to give the welfare system a black eye with programs like this.

That's what the cheaters are doing." Cargoes Wife Sues For fging Alimony Payments LOS ANGELES (AP) A former, wife of television late night show personality Johnny Carson has gone to court to collect two past-due alimony payments. Joanne Carson said in the suit filed Wednesday in Superior Court that she understood Carson stopped paying S6.250-a- alimony because he felt she violated a divorce agreement. The agreement stated "no party shall say or do anything which will hold the other party in public dispute, public scandal or public ridicule." Joanne Carson, who now has her own syndicated television show, also complained that her ex-mate her some 840,000 for various items that belonged to her in their former New York home before the talk show host moved to Hollywood. The Carsons were divorced in 1971. Johnny Carson since has remarried.

"The two realized that prolongation of the problems would have sound detrimental effects. Both, with respect for God, love of life and respect for children set out to change these things. They were killed because our people have people willing to die for them." They were buried side by side.

Driver Pleads Guilty To Reduced Charge PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) Rochester residents got "a raw deal" when District Judge Robert Shipper let a school bus driver who sold marijuana to a high school girl plead guilty to a reduced charge, Oakland County Prosecutor L. Brooks Patterson said Wednesday. Shipper accepted a guilty plea last Friday from Frank Roy Hill to possession of marijuana, Patterson said. Hill had originally been charged with sale of marijuana.

Patterson said he had "an onen and shut case" against Hill, 20, of Detroit, a bus driver of St. John Lutheran High School. Hill was arrested last Oct. 31 and charged with selling Kyle Kinzie, 15, a 10th grader at the school, two packets si marijuana. The prosecutor said the girl bought the marijuana with marked S20 bills given to her by her mother after she was informed of the offer by her daughter.

Patterson said the sale was observed by State. Police troopers and the school principal. Judge Shipper, however, said Patterson is on a "publicity jaunt" and that a former prosecutor had agreed with Hill's lawyer to the reduced charge. commitment takes precedence over any new policy," Shipper said. The judge also said Hill could receive as severe a sentence for the misdemeanor as he could have expected for a felony conviction in the circuit courts." Sale of marijuana carries a penalty of four years in prison and a $2,000 fine.

Possession carries a maximum penalty of one-year in prison and a $1,000 fine.
