GREENSBORO, N. C. (ANP) Sheriff John E. Walters last week announced that he had appointed a Negro deputy sheriff for Guilford county. The new deputy is Johnnie D. Marable.

He will work in Negro sections of the county. He will serve civil process action on Negroes, and also will help in criminal work in colored communities in other parts of the county outside Greensboro.

Marable is the first member of his race to be appointed a deputy in any part of the state of North Carolina. He formerly worked as chauffeur and butler of Mayer Ben Cone of Greensboro.

The appointment of Marable to his new position is an indirect result of several years of successful use of Negro police officers in the city of Greensboro.
