Brother, Sister Accused
Os Burning Family To Death
PARKERSBURG. W. Va.
(UPl)—Susan Bailey, 15, Joins
her 13-year-old brother at
Parkersburg Cemetery today
for the funeral of their parents
and 10 brothers and sisters.
The 12 Baileys will be burled
in a mass grave. All died in a
fire that flashed through the
tarpaper covered house they
rented for $65 a month only two
weeks before Bunday’s blaze.
Police said Susan and her
brother Roger, who slept in a
shack adjacent to the house,
deliberately touched off the fire
that all but wiped out their
family, apparently because her
father disapproved of a boy-
Astromiuts Want To Put
U. S. Flag On The Moon
WASHINGTON (UPI) —His.
tory tells us the first thing
Columbus did on wading ashore
in the new world was to raise
the flag of Spain.
Apparently protocol hasn’t
changed much in the explora
tion business.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA)
said Tuesday the Apollo 11
astronauts will plant an Ameri
can flag when they land on the
moon next month.
What’s more, they will hoist a
second Stars and Stripes for a
moment, then bring It back for
presentation to the organization
whose largess made the trip
possible—the U.S. Congress.
The gift to the legislators
took on added significance In
the wake of a debate over

by the U.S. Defense Depart

All tnree were from the U.S.
Army.
They are Spec. 4 William H.
Ayers from Toccoa; Spec. 4

Hogansville Balks
On Maddox Taxes
HOGANSVILLE, Ga. (UPI)—
Gov. Lester Maddox’s proposed
one cent hike in the statewide
sales tax would distribute $47,-
000 to this small west Georgia
town’s independent school sys
tem, but school officials voted
Tuesday to oppose the gover
nor’s plan.
School Supt. H.L. Dixon ex
plained: "Some of our people
live on SBO a month retirement
income, and after rent, medi
cine and clothing that addition
al one per cent could hurt.”
Maddox has promised law

from the tank of a truck their
father used in his Job as a
Wood County maintenance man,
carried it into the house in a

throughout the house, police
said.
After touching off the blaze,
which roared through the house
like a torch, they ran outside.
When firemen arrived Susan
and Roger told them the blaze
had started so fast they could
not help, police said.
The firemen were too late.

NASA administrator Thomas
O. Paine testified in April no
decision had been made what
flag to fly. He said the State
Department suggested the U.N.
flag as a possibility.
Rep. Burt L. Talcott, R-Calif.,
told Paine bluntly that if the
U.N. flag went up, the agency
might as well forget about the
extra billions it said it needed
to keep ahead of the Soviet
Union in space.
NASA officials got the
message and advised key House
members Tuesday the national

banner would be carried by the
astronauts.

Decatur County
PWC Check Set
ATLANTA (UPI) — "I tell
you, it’s bad down there,” es
caped prisoner Melvin Greene
Helms told newsmen Just before
Gov. Lester Maddox ordered an
investigation of the Decatur
County Public Works Camp.
The 22-year-old Helms, serv
ing time for burglary, turned
himself in to Columbus police
Sunday saying he wanted to tell
the governor about the camp’s
alleged poor conditions.
Instead, Helms, who broke
out of the Decatur County camp
March 25, told his tale to a Co
lumbus newsman who relayed
the story to Maddox.
Corrections Director Robert
Carter was shortly thereafter
ordered to make a full investi
gation of the complaint. The
Department also said Helms
would be transferred to the
Leesburg State Prison branch.

children, ranging In age from
six months to 17 years were
Ted, Dale, Steve, Deborah,
Tomothy, Mary, Claudia, Patri
cia, Rickie and Nancy.
Another daughter, Mrs. Judy
Fury, returned from her home
in Illinois to handle today’s
funeral arrangements.
"I don’t hate her,” Mrs. Fury
said of her sister. “I don’t have
any feeling for her, but I don’t
care if I don’t see her again.”
The only person to escape
from the fire was their
grandfather, Obie Bailey, 63.
He crawled out a bathroom
window.
Most House members re
ceived the NASA decision with
pleasure but as a precaution,
they approved an amendment
to the agency’s $3.9 billion
annual authorization bill that
only the Stars and Stripes
would be raised on the moon.
The amendment was offered by
Rep. Richard L. Roudebush, R-
Ind.
The authorization bill itself
passed 328 to 52 and was sent
to the Senate where more may
be heard about flags.
All the talk about "flying”
the flag on the moon may prove
disappointing in the end.

Girl’s Body
Is Identified
DECATUR, Ga. (UPI) —De-
Kalb County police said Tues
day they had identified Violet
Ann Marie Kenyon, 16, of At
lanta as the young woman
whose savagely beaten body
was found unday in a remote
area of South DeKalb County.
Authorities earlier had made
a tentative Identification with
the help of a woman who said
she was the girl’s mother.
Detective Ted Wayne said the
woman told police the dress
worn by the victim was similar
to the one she gave her
daughter last Saturday, the day
before her body was found with
her face unrecognizably bat
tered with a blunt, heavy ob
ject.
The woman also identified
two rings as being similar to
those worn by her daughter.
Authorities said they think the
girl was knocked unconscious or
killed elsewhere, then dumped
from a car.
Fingerprint experts were
carefully checking a northwest
Atlanta apartment, her alleged
residence, in hopes for a clue
to the killer.
