Hams fell, he fired two shots
and Trevino and Chevera then
also opened fire.
Hutton said one of Williams’
bullets apparently struck Hall.
“FIRST TIME"
Hutton said tne Incident was
“the first time" such a shoot-
ing ever occurred In San An-
tonio.
“We’ve racked our brains
trying to figure out a way to
keep it from occurring again,
but can’t,” the inspector said.
Quoting doctors at the hos-
pital, Hutton said both of Wil-
liams’ arms are broken and
that a bullet Is “lodged just
under the skin in his back.”
The doctors reported, how-
ever, according to Hutton, that
the patrolman “Is Improving”
and that he will be able to re-
turn to work.
The Inspector said Williams
will receive full compensation
for his medical expenses and
because he was wounded while
attempting to stop what he
thought was a crime will still
receive a pension.
Hutton reported he and the
three task force officers have
been to the hospital to talk with
Williams and that the wounded
officer “has no animosity to-
wards these (the three) men."
“The Ironic thing about this
Is that Williams had signed up
to join task force,” Hutton re-
marked.

tie was a sergeant wnen ne
went to the University of Miami
(of Ohio) under a military schol-
arship, and graduated suma cum
lauda In the top ter of his class.
Today he Is a second lieu-
tenant training for the career
of a Marine corps officer at
Quantico, Virginia.
Few of.'lcers anywhere hold
such an enviable college rec-
ord. Lt. Stephens took on the
tough field of business systems
analysis and applied sciences,
scored 3.902 out of 4.0 In grade
average and was elected to Phi
Beta Kappa.
He had tried college once
before but not on a ‘ful-time
basis.’ “I come from a large
family,” says the voung sec-
ond lieutenant, “consisting of
two brothers and five sisters.
My father Is an electrician In
the Philadelphia Naval Yard,
and my mother works as a vol-
unteer In the local school sys-
tem. We all know the value of
an education. ”
After garduatlng from Phil-
adelphia Central High school,
an all-boys school where he
played In the band, Stephens
became a messenger for West-
ern Union. Finding this not ex-
actly to his liking, he joined
the staff of a large chemical
company. Under its education
plan, he attended Temple uni-
versity--but only at night and
for three minor courses.
“Money was a problem,” he
says. “I wanted to go to school,
but I had to work to make a
living. Another problem was
the draft. I wanted to make my
own decisions on that matter,
so I joined the Marine corps
reserve In 1965.
“By the time I got back to
the States,” says Lt. Stephens,
“I was a sergeant. Apparently
I was doing a good job, and
my superiors thought that I
could do a better one with more
education. As a matter of fact,
my thoughts were exactly the
same.
“My wife, Hope, and I had a
long talk about life in the Corps.
If I took advantage of the college
offer, it would mean a longer
career. But that was okay by
me, since I found the life agree-
able. It also meant that there
was a vood chance for me to
become an officer.”
With the Corps picking up the
tab for all college fees, In ad-
dition to paying his normal stip-
end as a staff sergeant, Stephens
began to attend classes at the
prestigious University of Miami
of Ohio.
Stephens, though still a ma-
rine, was exempt from normal
military activities. He had ap-
plied for college study through
a special program offered to
marines. Prior to going to col-
lege, he was also given a
“brush-up” course at a military
college preparatory school In
Balnbrldge, Maryland.
It was about that time that
the corps began an extensive
program to get more blacks
Into Its officer corps. The pro-
gram Is still underway, and
further details of Its opportun-
ities are available from any
Marine corps recruiter.
After graduation, he went to
Marine Officers Candidate
school In Quantico, Va. Late
this summer, he was awarded
the small gold bar signifying
that he was now a second lieu-
tenant.
“It was a good feeling,” says
Second Lt. Stephens. “Within
three months, I became both
a college graduate and an offi-
cer. I might have gotten my ed-
ucation without the help of the
corps, but lt would most cer-
tainly have been much more
difficult. And I seriously doubt
I would have made Phi Beta
Kappa had I been forced to work
and go to school simultaneous-
ly."

NEW YORK—Five hundred
and fifty-nine black and Span-
ish-speaking men and women
have passed civil service ex-
aminations for the law enforce-
ment field, out of 842 who were
recruited, counseled and tutor-
ed for the exams by the Na-
tional Urban league’s Law En-
forcement Minority Manpower
project.
The exams In three cities,
Newark, N.J.; Cleveland, Ohio,
and Dallas, Texas, were for
such positions as police, cor-
rection, probation and parole
officer, sheriff’s department
and police cadet trainee.
The accomplishment, made
In the first three months of
the project, Is generally at-
tributed to refined recruiting
and testing techniques, and
could Increase the number of
minority employees In, for ex-
ample, Cleveland’s police force
from 7 per cent to 12 per cent
If all who passed the exams
are appointed.
The number of minorities In
Dallas’ police force may In-
crease from 2 per cent to 5
per cent, and Newark’s from
20 per cent to 23 per cent,
If all who passed the exams
In their cities are hired.
The Law Enforcement Mi-
nority Manpower project Is un-
der the direction of Jack Hlgh-
smlth at league national head-
quarters In New York.
Working always through local
police departments, local proj-
ect staffs beat the streets for
recruits under the banner “You
Can Be Your Local Police,”
often accompanied by minority
police officers themselves, who
are members of local minority
police fraternal organizations.
Potential civil service exam
takers are then counseled in-
dividually and in small groups,
given aptitude tests and trial
exams to Identify their weak-
nesses In math or English.
Applicants are then strength-
ened In these areas over a
period determined by Individual
need, and given confidence In
handling actual examination sit-
uations.
