WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER Six Paroles Are Granted State Paroles Board An- nounces Decision In Number of Cases Here The State Paroles Board yesterday gave six prisoners paroles, reduced five prison terms by commutation and ruled in effect that a young Raleigh man, Marion Fuller Wyatt, may drive again. Wyatt, 26, was sentenced in Wake Superior Court in December, 1949, to 5-7 years for housebreakling and larceny. The sentence was to take effect at the expiration of a 3-5-year term Wyatt received earlier in Wayne County but was not to be imposed remained on good behavior, violated no criminal law and did not operate a motor vehicle for seven years. The Paroles Board said it had reduced the provision preventing Wyatt from driving from seven years to 19 months. Jack Hudson, 39-year-old Negro convict, got his term cut because he had lost two fingers "in line of duty" while working at his prison job.

Hudson, sentenced from Wayne County in August, 1949, to 20-25 years for second degree burglary, now is serving 18-23 years. Raymond Lee Wall, 19, sentenced from Mecklenburg last August to 60 days for reckless driving and operating a car without a driver's license, and Ronald D. Killette, 32, sentenced from Mecklenburg in July, 1952, to 8-10 years for stealing a car, had their terms commuted to time already served. Wall was released so that he could re-enter the Army. Killette was let out because of "mitigating circumstances" surrounding his case.

In other commutations, the board lightened the sentences of Edward L. Tilley, 26, sentenced from Forsyth last March to 6-10 years for conspiracy and larceny and Salus Oxendine, 33, Indian, sentenced from Sampson in September, 1950, to 10 years and five years for two counts of breaking and entering. Tilley's sentence was commuted at the suggestion of the trial court to 4-6 years to conform with the sentence a co-defendent received. Oxendine's sentences, which totaled 15 years, were made to run concurrently for a total of 10 years. The Paroles Board said the change was recommended by the trial judge and solicitor "due to severe injuries sustained by this prisoner since he came to The six paroles, all issued recently, went to: Gene Watts, 30, Negro, sentenced from Union County in gust, 1952, to 3-5 years for with intent to commit rape; Johnny Roseman Howell, 24, Negro, sentenced from Robeson last April to 18 months for larceny; William E.

Lewis, 17, sentenced from Haywood February, 1952, to 5-10 years for crime against nature. Fiorence Coleman, 28, Negro, sentenced from Beaufort County in March, 1952, to 5-7 years for manslaughter; Ralph Taylor, 25, sentenced from Ashe last April to 1-3 years for setting a fire; J. Clyde Thomas, 62, sentenced from Lee in October, 1952, to a total of two years for three counts of drunken driving. Asheville Firm Presents Case An Asheville trucking company, Citizens Express, argued before the State Utilities Commission yesterday that it has authority under its franchise to haul general commodities. Its competitors charged it had exceeded its authority by hauling television sets, electrical appliances and other general cargoes.

They took the position that Citizens Express, subsidiary of the Asheville Citizen newspaper company, should be restricted to carrying newspapers, motion picture film and light express. The arguments were heard as a sequel to a public hearing held before the Commission last March on complaints lodged against Citizens Express by various Western North Carolina truckers. Yesterday, the two sides were permitted to summarize their cases. The Commission will weigh the arguments and 587 pages of hearing record in drafting its answer. Attorneys for complaining carriers had indicated they would demand at yesterday's hearing that Citizens Express acknowledge reports that it and its parent coming sold.

On Saturday in Houston, after they held up two tourist courts, Modesto Canales, a Mexican no youth, and his traveling companion, Royleen Agnes Minor, were picked up by the Houston police.

No address was Guard Age Limit Lowered Governor Umstead yesterday sued a proclamation making it possible for youths between the ages of 17 and to enlist in undermanned National Guard units and thereby postpone induction into the armed forces. Adit. Hall Manning said that similar proclamations were issued in the past by Governors R. Gregg Cherry and W. Kerr Scott.

The proclamations are issued when the National Guard's authorized strength cannot be maintained by enlistments or appointments of personnel who are not liable to be drafted by Uncle proclamation, Sam. the Governor said that some organized units cannot be maintained through the enlistment or appointment of draft ineligibles. Hence, he directed the Adjutant General to maintain a current list of Guard uits which are not at authorized strength. "I also invite young men from of 17 to 18 years and six months," the Governor said, "to enlist in those organized units of the North Carolina National Guard which are not at authorized strength and thus meet their obligation of service to their country while at the same time they continue their education or employment." Guard enlistments are for threeyear periods. Bird Prefers Change of Air A confused pigeon traded the great outdoors for the politically charged atmosphere of the Capitol.

One night proved enough for him. Without fanfare, the pigeon strode into the Capitol Monday afternoon. Now, Capitol Square is loaded with pigeons, but the appearance inside the building of this one came as a distinct surprise to Mrs. Becky Etheridge, the Capitol receptionist. She couldn't remember having seen one in there before.

The political aspirant flew up, first to the legislative halls on the second floor, he perched for a few moments cocking an inquisitive eye at closed doors of the Hail of the House and the Senate' Chamber. Then he moved up, up, up and into the very dome of the Capitol itself. There the bird remained while visitors below craned and craned for a glimpse of him. Perhaps just to show off, the pigeon would hop occasionally from ledge to ledge. When the Capitol was closed for the evening, the bird was still on his high perch, as well up in the political world of the State as any pigeon ever has got.

By yesterday morning, Mr. Pigeon was ready to go home. Janitor Ronie Jones found him, ambitions satisfied, on the first floor of the building. Jones held the Capitol's east door open, and the bird strutted out. His feathers were still unruffled.
