Vanceboro, July 28—(AP)—Armed
possemen with orders from the
sheriffs of three counties to “shoot to
kill’’ were searching near here today
for three bandits who robbed Oscar
Paramore and his wife of SIOO and
slugged them with pistol butts
Mr. and Mrs. Paramore were held
up at their store-filling station four
miles from here on the Greenville
highway late last night. After taking
the-money, the bandits struck thorn
over the head with their pistols,
knocking Paramore unconscious and
leaving him in a serious condition.
Mrs. Paramore was not badly hurt.
The robbers had their automobile
parked 200 yards from the filing sta
tion, and in their haste to get away
ran the machine in a ditch, hey aban
doned it and fled.
Sheriff R. B. Lane, of Craven coun
ty, assisted by Sheriffs William Brum
ley, of Beaufort, and S. A. White
hurst, of Pitt, immediately organized
posse and instructed the 100 men tak
ing part in the search to shoot on
sight should they encounter ' trouble
in arresting the bandits.
Rocky Mount authorities identified
the abandoned automobile ’as one
stolen in that city from Louise Pear
sall several weeks ago.
The same night the car was stolen
four convicts escaped from a con
vict camp near Rocky Mount, an,d the
theory is that they may be implicated
in the hold-up here.

Criminals
Chicago, July 28.—(AP)—A formula
for an international clearing house for
the apprehension of crooks was the
objective of European, American and
Canadian police and criminologists
today
Such an agreement would deal with
matters of extradition, white slavery,
drug smuggling and the placing of
confidence men, but it was indicated
would not deal with kidnapings and
gangs, as they were considered as
“peculiarly American institutions.”
A prevue of what may be under
taken by criminologists was given
last night by Police Commissioner
James S. Bolan of New York who told
them that at present there is a lack
of complete coordination and coop
eration of the authorities in their at
tempt to run down criminals
It was indicated prior to today's
session that the international crim
inal police commission, with head
quarters at Vienna, may serve as the
nucleus of the European organization
and the new anti-crime bureau of the
Department of Justice at Washington
as the Western Hemisphere headquart

Raleigh, July 28 —Despite the large
number of delegations that appeared
before it here ths week seeking the
retention of smaller high schools and
asking changes in some of the new
districts set-up, the State School Com
mission is not expected to grant many
of the changes asked, largely because
?it does not have the money to spare.
-The new school law provides that no
high school shall be set up with less
than 60 pupils in average dally at
tendance. Prior to 1929 a high school
could be set up with only 45 pupils
and since then with 50 pupils. As
(passed by the senate, the new school
law would not have permitted the es
tablishing of a high school with less
than 80 pupils in average daily at
tendance. But to take care of some
■of the smaller communities, especial
ly where transportation is difficult,
in the mountain sections of the
■State, the law was changed to permit
the creation of high schools with a
minimum of 60 pupils.
So far as possible, however, the
school commission has tried tio elimi
nate as many of the smaller htgh
schools as possible, and to set up as
many larger high schools, from four
teachers Tip, as possible. This has
meant the discontinuation of many of

here. It has been known for some

she expressed a desire to stay here in

result that it has virtually- betn de
