Sixty seven per cent of the white respondents said they intended to stay in the neighborhood and 76 per cent of the Negroes said they were planning to stay.

such a charge. In March, he was fined $1 and sentenced to 30 days in jail after being convicted of raping a 10-year-old girl. He was identified Friday after his arrest by the 11-year old girl as the assailant who waylaid her enroute to school, dragged her about 200 feet to a dry creekbed near Tech High School and criminally assaulted her. The victim, a student at School 101, said she was beaten and suffered a black eye and numerous bruises requiring two days of hospitalization. The attack occurred last Thursday shortly before 1 p.m. as the youngster returned to school after lunch and the suspect was taken into custody Friday at the drugstore where he was employed. Owens has emphatically denied the accusation as he did the previous one. He was implicated in the first case by a 16-year-old acquaintance. Police picked him up Friday on a description supplied by a boy who saw him running near the scene of the attack.
