1984-85 Calendar Put

To County School Bd.

ByMARYSCHULKEN Reflector Staff Writer The Pitt County Board of Education has had its first look at the 1964-85 school calendar options but will make no decision on the schedule until the April board meeting, school officials say.

Asociate Superintendent Leek Keeter unvei ed the proposed calendar options at Tuesdays monthly boara meeting. Of the two schedules, labeled option I and option II, he told the board that calendar committee members recommended option I, which mandates that teachers return to work Aug. 20 and students begin classes Aug. 27.

(^tion I also provides for holidays on ^t. 3 for Labor Day; Nov. 22-23 for Thanksgiving; vacation-holidays

on Dec. 20-Jan. 1 for Christmas-New Years; vacation-holidays on April 6-12 for Easter and on June 17.

For students the school year will end June 6, according to option I, and for teachers June 19. Graduation will be June 7.

Teacher workdays are scheduled for Aug. 20-24, Sept. 28, Oct. 8. Nov. 12 and 26, Jan. 25. March 8, April 26

and June 7-14 in option I The following days would be designated non-vacation days under option I: Aug. 20-21 and One-half of Aug. 22, Oct. 8, Jan. 25 and June 7 and 10.

In option II, teachers will begin work Aug. 22 and students will begin school Sept. 4, the day after Labor day.

Option II provides holidays Sept. 3. N V. 22-23; holidays-vacation days Dec. 20-Jan. 1; holidays-vacation days April 8-12; and June 20.

Students will end their school year June 13 if option II is adopted and teachers wil end the year June 21. Graduation will be June 14.

Snow make-up days, under both options, were listed in the following priority: April 12, April 11, April 10, April 9 and April 8.

Although the committee recommended the board choose option I, it cautioned board members to keep

tobacco season in mind when making their decision to avoid having to revise the calendar in mid-August.

In other business. Superintendent Eddie West reported to board members on the progress in the school systems preschool communication project. Currently, West noted, the letters are mailed from the system to the parents of each newborn in the county, congratulating them and informing them of the county schools enrollment policies.

Then annually on each childs birthday, said West, parents will receive a volume from the school system geared to the specific growth and development needs of the child for the upcoming year. The Tender Years is volume I and is currently being sent to parents of infants.

'This project is an effort by the school system to facilitate continuous communication between the school system and parents prior to a childs enrollment in school, said West.

West reported that revenue from fines and forfeitures in February was below the anticipated amount for the third straight month. In February the school system re-

syst

ceived $14,789 from tines and forfeitures, $3,543 below the. $18,333-per-month average estimated in the 1983-84 budget.

The board also granted the following easements in Tuesdays session:

Associated Press Writer

MARION, N.C. (AP) - One of two escaped Tennessee convicts who vowed not to be taken alive was shot and killed in an abandoned house this morning after wounding a state trooper, officials said.

Ronald Lee Freeman, 41, a convicted double murderer, was killed, said Russ Edmonston, a spokesman for the state Department of Crime Control and Public Safety.

When they turned him over, he had two pistols on him, so apparently he was a pretty desperate fellow, Edmonston said.

Freeman was killed in a house in a residential neighborhood of Marion, in western North Carolina, and about 60 officers sealed a three-block area looking for the second inmate, James Clegg, said Forest City Police Chief Tom McDevitt.

Were keeping the area surrounded. McEkevitt said.

Earlier, Maj. D.R. Emory, director of administrative services for the state Highway Patrol in Raleigh, had incorrectly identified the slain inmate as Clegg.

State Trooper Larry Carver was shot in the shoulder, Emory said.

McDevitt said Freeman was found and killed in an abandoned house about half-a-mile from a house where a break-in had been reported earlier.

Jerry Knight, a resident of the neighborhood, * said one of the fugitives entered his father-in-laws house through a window, but was seen and fled.

Edmonston said a man broke into a womans house about 5 a.m. and told her to fix him something to eat.

He said, I guess you know who I am. I got separated from the other party 1 was with, Edmonston said. The woman called police after he left the house.

Officers assume Clegg is in the same general area. We assume that he is armed. Weve asked people in the area to be extra careful, Edmonston said.

Clegg. 30. and Freeman had been believed in North Carolina after another state trooper had been shot Tuesday.

The hunt had shifted from Tennessee to Nebo, N.C., when Highway Patrol 'Trooper L.H. Rector was shot four times Tuesday by two men he had stopp^ for speeding. A white Cadillac with the rear window shot out was later found abandoned near the Nebo Elementary School.

The two men without question were the Tennessee escapees, said Highway Patrol Capt. Chester Sutton.

Clegg, of Bristol. Tenn., and eman, of Knoxville, Tenn., were amoqg five inmates who fled a work gang Rafter pulling guns on two guards] Two of the inmates are back in custody and a third is believed to be in Illinois.

Clegg was serving a life sentence as a habitual criminal and Freeman was serving 198 years for the 1970 murders of his pregnant wife and her stepdaughter.

The police activity by late Tuesday was like being in the middle of a war zone, said Ben Gunter, who lives near the school.

Blue lights from patrol cars flashy through the heavy fog, sleet and fain in the area. One store

stayed open through the night to provide food and coffee for searchers Clegg and Freeman, described as armed and extremely dangerous, escaped Feb. 18 from Tennessees Fort Pillow Prison. On Feb. 21 they allegedly killed a Brownsville, Term., man who was grilling steaks in hisJtock yard. They stole his car, took his wife hostage and told her that they would not te taken alive.Latest

RALEIGH - The General Assembly this morning assigned a bill realigning Senate dSstricts in the northeast section of the state, including one that carves up Pitt County, to committees for discussion before reconvening at noon for a vote, a Pitt legislator said.

Rep. Ed Warren of Greenville, who repjresents the 9th House District, said the latest map scheduled for committee consideration stiU called for the Pitt townships of Bethel, Farmville, Arthur, Belvoir, Falkland and Fountain to be trimmed from the 9th Senatatorial District and placed in the 6th District.

He said the map also has Ayden township remaining in Pitt County as part of the 9th District. TTiere had been some discussion earlier relative to moving Ayden to the 8th

District with Wayne ahd Greene counties.

The newly aligned 9th District, according to the map, would include the remainder of Pitt County, five townships in Beaufort County, three Bertie County townships, and seven townships in Martin County.

'The original report looks like it is intact, said Warren. I hate to see it that way, but thats the way it looks right now. Warren emphasized that nothing is final relative to the redistricting until the (General Assembly votes after lunch.

'The Pitt district was affected after the large 2nd Senatorial District was redrawn to comply with federally imposed minority strength guidelines. Eight Senate districts in the northeast section felt the effects of the 2nd District realignment.

Hart Prefers The Underdog Image

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Gary Hart said today his three-toH)ne trouncing of Walter Mndale in Vermont is fresh evidence the Democratic primary tide is turning in his favor, but contends his capipaign will still be playing catch-up at least through the month.

Out at dawn, the Colorado senator greeted workers at a Birmingham, Ala., plant with Im Gary Hart, ninning f(w president. I need your help.

Interviewed on the NBC-TV Today show. Hart said Tuesdays victory in the non-binding Vermont primary continues very much what seems to be a pattern evolving.

He added, 'There have been three states in a row ... that seem to be moving in our direction.

Yet, with Mondales campaign outspending his 10 to 1, Hart said, In many respects, I guess, Im still the underdog.... I think well still be

Fear Unbalanced Rates In New Water-Sewer Charge

By STUARTSAVAGE Reflector Staff Writer Only a half-dozen peoole attended a public hearing Tuesoay on proposed changes based on a cost-of-service study in water and sewer rates charged by the Greenville Utilities Commission.

The major concern voiced at the hearing was that city residents would see an increase in rates, while out-of-city customers would see a decrease.

GUC Director Charles Horne said the next step is for the commission to take a look at what they heard. The new water rate schedule, if given final approval, will increase water revenues by about 20 percent over the next two years.

Sewer rates would increase only slightly above current levels under the proposed rate schedule.

The propiwed rates are based on a cost-of-service study, completed in

late 1983, which states revenues from water rates need to be increased by $500,000 to fund incr^s^ current operating costs, maintain and extend the water system, and make debt service payments on the new water treatment plant.

The proposed schedule will spread the 20 percent increase in water rates over a two-year period to lessen the impact on customers, by increasing rates each six months.

GUCs typical in-city residential customer, using 8,000 cubic feet of water per month, now pays $8.30, while an out-of-city residential customer now pays $16.60.

Following the first-step increase under the proposed rate schedule, the in-city customer would pay $9.20, while out-of-city customers would pay $14.35.

Under the new water rate schedule, the GUCs present policy of charging out-of-city residential and commercial customers double the

in-city rates would be dropped. The new rates for out-of-city customers, based on the cost-of-cervice study, will be aproximately 150 percent of the iiKity rates.

The proposed sewer rate schedule provides the same rates for in-city j and out-of-city customers.

The greatest change in sewer rates is that the present $7 maximum limit for residential customers will be discontinued and billing for sewer service will be base(f on 85 percent of the total water bill.

The new sewer rate schedule will also add a change to in-city customers who have access to sewer service but are not using the city

S6W6F.

In the first step, the sewer availability charge would be $2.50 per month, and will increase each six months until a customer would be paying $3.50 per month in two years.

playing catch-up, if you will, throughout the rest of this month at least.

For his part. Mndale, who had expected to lose in Vermont, conceded that Harts apparent sweep of every precinct in the state will hurt.

To a cheering Florida crowd, the former vice president implored: This is not just a horse race. This has become a battle for the soul of the Democratic Party and the future of our country

It is a horse race that has seen Hart win an an ever-increasing share of the votes: 37 percent to Mondales 28 percent in New Hampshire; 51 percent to 44 percent in Maine and 71 percent to 20 percent in Vermont.

Mndale, once the front-runner and the victor so far in onlj the Iowa party caucuses, looked south for his comeback, campaigning today in Georgia, Alabama and Florida three of the nine states holding Democratic presidential primari^ and caucuses on Super Tuesday next week.

Cheering the Vermont results. Hart campaign manager Oliver Henkel proclaimed:

If I were in the White House ... I would be very concerned about the Hart candidacy. He represents a far more significant threat to the presi dent than does Walter Mndale.

And Hart, noting indications of a Republican crossover vote in Vermont, declared. I intend to defeat Ronald Reagan.

Comics Aim To Help Kids Spum Dmgs

' By PATRICIA McCORMACK IIPI Health Editor ; Computer, soft drink and cookie tgiants stand behind a comic crusade ^alerting fourth, fifth, and sixth grade Ikids to the evils of drugs.

: The theme is Be a Hero ... Stay prugFree."

; The crusade involves comic books, jeach featuring a drug adventure designed to help kids make up their !own minds and not cave in to peer pressure.

; Reaching grade school youngsters Through one of their most popular ^ediums, comic books, is part of a iederal government-private sector Rational campaign against drug use.

; The private sector part; International Business Machines Corp., the National Soft Drink Association and Keebler Company are undei^riting production of the 3 million comic books and instructional material for teachers in 35,000 schools.

Also in the comic book attack on drugs are the U.S. Department of Education, the White House Office of Drug Abuse Policy and the National Federation of Parents for Drug-Free Youth.

Warner Communications D.C. Comics donated use of its characters from The New Teen Titans comics, plus writing, graphics and production talent for three special editions of the popular comic boiok.

Marv Wolfman, writer of Teen Titan, said the drug education specials feature Starfire, Wonder Girl, Cyborg, Raven, Changeling the Teen Titan characters who team up to fight evil.

Because the characters are youths who possess remarkable abilities, they inspire young readers with their adventures and serve as role models, said Jenette Kahn, president and publisher of D.C. Comics.

We know that this medium comic books is a positive way to encourage young people to talk to each other, examine their options g;nd values, and to begin a dialogue with parents and adults about their concerns.

Young people are not told what to do by the Teen Titans but -instead these teenage super-heroes lact as role models, provide valuable information and other facts.

; We know young people must determine to say No to drugs! and we hope the comic books can help them to be heroes.

Before writing the drug awareness stories, Wolfman took a drug world *U)ur arranged by Dr. Carlton Turner, special assistant to the president for drug abuse policy.

I went to the White House office building for a briefing and then was steered through drug detoxification programs, hospitals, psychiatric

wards and drug prevention and rehabitalitation centers, he said.

After that I did a massive amount of research. "

His daughter Jessica, 7, looked over copies of the dnig comics written by her father and drawn by Ross Andru and told her dad shes against drugs.

Thats as wed ex^t, Wolfam said. In our house neither my wife flor I smoke or drink. She doesnt see examples of that.

One of the anti-drug comic books is called Problem Child.

Wolfman said it tells about a young boy named Jesse and his drug-addicted older brother. The Teen Titans help Jesse and his brother overcome involvement with drugs.

Another, Battle, tells the story of one young person who is almost destroyed by drug abuse.

I wanted to create the most dramatic adventure while telling the story of one young person because young people across the country must be warned about the real dangers, Wolfman said.

Turner expects kids to take the comics home so their brothers and sisters and parents, too, will take a look.

We need to teach our young children how to avoid peer pressure toward trying drugs, he said.

One of the best ways to do this is to encourage our youngsters to take the lead in applying positive peer pressure against drug-taking behavior.

He noted that only 35,000 of the nations 51,000 grade schools are getting the comic books.

The readership of New Teen Titans adventures is such that the comics have a way of circulating very fast, he said.

Inside the front cover of the drug-awareness comics is a message from Nancy Reagan.

We ho^ you will give being a hero your very best effort, she says to the fourth, fifth and sixth-graders.

DEAR READERS: If youre not an animal lover, skip this letter.

Every year, millions of dogs and cats are abandoned because theyre either too expensive (or too much trouble) to keep. A few of the more appealing strays are taken in by kindhearted strangers; the rest are picked up by local animal shelters, or the city or county animal regulation department, and taken to the pound where they are eventually destroyed.

I recently learned about the Pet Adoption Fund, a charitable nonprofit California organization that takes in homless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens, and cares for them until someone adopts them. It never

Everyone who adopts a pet must sign an agreement stating that if, for any reason, he cant keep it, he will not give it to another party, take it to the pound or offer it for medical research he will return it to Pet Adoption.

All Pet Adoption animals will have been spayed or neutered, and they leave with collars, identificadion tags and specific instructions for care and feeding. Although some animals are purebred, none have price tags, but any size donation is gratefully accepted.

This organization is staffed entirely by dedicated volunteers; every dollar contribution goes for caring for the animals.

If you live in the Los Angeles area and want to adopt a pet. visit: Pet Adoption Fund, 7S15 Deering Ave., Canoga Park. Calif. 91303.

If you live elsewhere and want to start a similar humanitarian agency (every city should have one), write to the above address for the funds booklet. Its free, but please enclose a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope.

And when your ship (or your horse) comes in, be a sport and send a few dollars to this wonderful agency. Like the animals whpse lives it saves, it cant live without people who care.

DEAR ABBY: Assuming you were correct in stating that a pet takes on its owners religion, you advised a cat owner who was half-Christian and half-Jewish to have her cat cremated, then divide the remains equally, giving one half a Jewish funeral and the other half a Christian funeral.

The kit price includes imported Thistledown yarn, full instructions and shipping charges. Please specify your choice of smoke, mink, sandalwood or ecru.

Dear Reader: Frequently you are instructed to pick up or pick up and knit a certain number of stitches, usually at a neck edge. The usual method for doing this involves inserting the knitting needle from the right side of the work through to the wrong side, wrapping the yarn once around the needle and drawing it through to the right side.

Personally, I find that a crochet hook is easier to use. Holding your yarn in your left hand and the hook in your right, insert the hook into the 2nd stitch in from the edge and pull a loop of yarn through. Then, slip this loop onto your needle.

Keep repeating this procedure until the required number of stitches are on the knitting needle. You may find it easier to leave several stitches on the crochet hook and slip them all onto the knitting needle at one time. To add some refinement, work all stitches.of the next row in the back of? the picked up stitches when using this method of picking up stitches.

You will usually have to determine how to space the stitches to be picked up. You may also haVe some stitches being held on stitch holders.

Lets assume your pattern says, Pick up 78 stitches at neck edge, including stitches on holder. Then if you have 32 stitches for the back and 26 stitches for the front on holders, you can quickly figure that you must pick up 20 additional stitches, half on one side of the front neck and half on the other.

If, on the other hand, your directions simply tell you to pick up a certain number of stitches and none have been held on stitch holders, a slightly different procedure is followed. Divide and mark the space into quarters and divide the total number of stitches by 4. Then plan to pick up

this number of stitches in each quarter. For example, with 80 stitches, 20 would be picked up in between each set of markers. If your number is not evenly divisible by 4, adjust as necessary, us-mg common sense.

We have all seen handmade sweaters with unsightly holes where stitches have been picked up at the neck edge. Picking up the stitches through the 2nd stitch in from the edge rather than in the edge stitches usually eliminates this problem

Also, make a conscious effort to keep your edge stitches firm. Some people recommend slipping the 1st stitch of every row. A slip stitch, however, actually creates a longer stitch so it is not, in my opinion, a good option for this purpose. I use a slip stitch edge only on those edges that will

not have further finishing.

EditorialsPolitics At Play

Its been years since the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its one-man, one-vote ruling. Yet, here we are haggling once again over realigning legislative districts. The ultimate issue, of course, is equitable representation. But when the discussion will get around to equality is another matter; that will come, if then, only after the incumbent legislators seats are protected.

Pitt County and the state 9th Senatorial District were not involved when a three-judge federal panel invalidated the alignments drawn three years ago for seven districts in North Carolina. But, as of this morning, there is a move under way to split Pitts Senate delegation so that the county would be represented by two or even three districts. Pitt voters would hold the majority in only one district. One of the two announced candidates for the state Senate from Pitt County would have to run in another district.

As we have said repeatedly, splitting a county is bad under any circumstance. There may be some justification, but unless something else comes along that we are not aware of, this is not one of those cases.

The premise is that Pitt must be split to enable the 2nd Senatorial District to meet the requirements imposed by the court panel. Six Pitt townships would go to a new 6th District, and Ayden Township would be split off to the 8th District with Wayne and " Greene counties. But, as we understand it, Ayden could remain in the 9th if the Bertie County area around Windsor remains in the 2nd District.

Legislative representation is a statewide problem, but not according to the conduct of a House committee studying the redistricting issue. A ^ ^Mecklenburg County representative who wasnt on the committee complained that he had had no input into a plan that would split Mecklenburg into single-seat districts. The response from another Mecklenburg legislator who conceived the plan. Rep. Louise Brennan, was that only those lawmakers whose districts were affected needed to be involved.

Obviously, there is little in the way of equality involved; not when isolated townships would be traded off as just so many head of hogs. Not when a legislator any legislator could not become involved in a non-local matter. Its more a case of politics and political machinations designed to protect incumbents seats, which is what brought on the latest redistricting order in the first place. / As we said last week, it is time for the Legislatui(e to follow the law, not just by the word but by the , spirit, too.Reaccreditation

East Carolina Universitys administration and staff obviously have worked very hard to be ready for a visit by the National Council for the Accreditation and Teacher Education on March 19.

The NCATE denied ECUs teacher education program accreditation last year and college officials noted that the action was based to a large extent on the programs administrative structure.

Since then changes have been made to consolidate education programs in the school of education and university officials are confident that they corrected the problems.

N.C. Department of Public Instruction representatives will also visit the campus on April 19. The State Board of Education last year granted only a two-year provisional accreditation for the school of education.

Chancellor John Howell said that education programs had been spread throughout the university but now every education program is the education departments responsibility.

It has taken a good deal of planning and work to correct the deficiencies which the accreditation agencies pointed out last year. Now the real test of what has been done is at hand.

CONCORD North Carolina has never been very forgiving of political candidates who lose. Theres a general rule in state politics: a candidate gets one crack at a statewide office. If he loses, hes finished at least as a potential statewide candidate.

Former House Speaker Carl Stewart is trying to break that tradition. Stewart, who narrowly lost the 1980 Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor to Jimmy Green, is seeking that office again.

Early in the campaign, that was my biggest obstacle, Stewart says of the one-shot-at-glory rule. It was an abstacle in the sense that Ive run before and expended all that energy. How do you get yourself psyched up again? How do you get your contributors to contribute again? He said the tradition made some of his supporters reluctant to contribute or endorse him again.

I think Ive overcome that now, Stewart said in an interview at a

Concord restaurant. He was here to meet with the Cabarrus County chapter of the N.C. Association of Educators Stewart has garnered that groups endorsement plus those of the General Baptist Convention, the AFL-CIO and the N.C. chapter of the National Organization of Women. Stewarts major opponent. Sen. Bob Jordan, D-Montgomery, conceded that those endorsements make Stewart a more viable candidate, one who will be better able to attract money.

Not long ago, people were telling Stewart he couldnt win. Friends were suggesting that he run for attorney general hes a lawyer or for insurance commissioner. People were saying that maybe I needed to run for something I was sure to win, something that would cost about $100,000 and take four years to rebuild his image as a winner. No one is saying anymore that I cant win, Stewart said.

Stewart says this race is much

different from his 1980 match-up with Green. On a personal level, he says hes approaching it much differently. He claims to be more relaxed even thout he recognizes that a loss here really would end his ]X)litical career. He says he also eels less muzzled. I felt a little muzzled last time. I wanted to get ail the votes and please everyone. That is traditional politics but for me it was stifling.

For example, in 1980, he says now, he felt that the Senate was in a mess. But I didnt raise that because I didnt want to offend the senators. Hes raised it this year and he has offended the senators. In fact, theres some talk that if hes elected, the Senate will strip him of some duties. ^

Running against Jordan is also much different. With Green and Stewart there was a clear ideological difference. Jordan and Stewart come from the moderate -some would say liberal wing of

Birthday For Barbie

I was terribly shocked to read the other day that Barbie Doll was celebrating her 25th anniversary. You cant call it a birthday because when Barbie was first born she was a full grown lady with a beautiful body and all the curves in the right places. This body required a tremendous amount of clothes to do her justice.

I mentioned the anniversary to my daughter who is now 29. I wonder where Barbie is right now? I said.

Shes up in the attic, Connie said. I put her there years ago.

Well, bring her down and well have a birthday party for her.

How many candles should we put on the cake? my wife asked.

Lets assume she was 21 years old when we got her, so she must be 46 by now. Why dont we just put one candle on the cake because she could be sensitive about her age.

That evening we all sat around the table and Connie brought Barbie down.

The years had been very good to her.

Barbie, you look wonderful. Your skin is just as smooth now as it was 25 years ago, I said.

Barbie blushed I use Oil of Olay every day. No one can guess my age.

So tell us, my wife said. Whats been going on with vou since we saw you last? Hows Ken?

Didnt you hear? Ken and I split 15 years ago.

Im sorry to hear that, I said. What happened? Irreconcilable differences. He said I spent too much money on clothes. I seemed to want a different outfit every week. Every time the charge account bills came in he lost his temper. I guess I was a spoiled brat, but in those days before my consciousness was raised I thought clothes were everything.

What happened to Ken?

He found a doll that was into jeans and tank tops, and married her. They seem very happy, and after the bitterness of the divorce, were now friends again.

What did you do?

I married a G.I. Joe. Youre married to a soldier? He was a soldier. He got out of the Army and hes now a defense spare parts contractor. I couldnt afford many outfits when he was in the service. But now that I can buy anything I want to, I just dont seem to be as interested in clothes as I used to be. I might buy something on sale, but I dont have six closets full of the stuff any more.

Serving Up A Pollster

-WASHINGTON - Walter F. Mondales vulnerability in the critical days ahead is explained by the fact he has no real choice other than-te allow the same strategy that led to his New Hampshire debacle.

Stay the course! was the advice given Mndale by a party elder statesman whose counsel is frequently sought by the former vice president. That means continued reliance on money, organization and big labors close embrace. Indeed, a post-New Hampshire retooling of the carefully planned Mndale campaign seems beyond the capabilities of even his astute mamgers.

That means Fritz Mndale remains vulnerable to the poison-tipped darts of his former colleague from Carter administration days: pollster-consultant Patrick Caddell. It was Caddells quiet entrance into Sen. Gary Harts presidential campaign a little more than a month ago that began its rejuvenation.

Caddell focused Harts floundering campaign where the only focus then was its insistent pro-feminist bias into a deadly weapon aimed at Jimmy Carters vice president.

Mondales emphasis on experience (I arn^ady) played into Cad-dells pl^ to contrast the candidate of the future with the candidate of the past.

That a grinning Mndale, suffering the first great defeat of his wlitical career in New Hampshire, [ept rei^ating I am ready shows no inclination to change tactics. Even Mndale backers who would like to change believe any dramatic shift toward mimicking Harts pro-future attitude would be farcical.

Mndale insiders were convinced that his superior funds and organization would roll through Sundays Maine caucuses into a near sweep of the Super Tuesday primaries March 13.

In other words, having been obliterated in New Hampshire and losing in Maine despite a vastly superiour organization, the Mndale campaign relies on the same resources in the critical state primaries ahead. The assumption at the bedrock of Mndale strategy is that nobody else - certainly not under-financed, badly organized

Gary Hart could dream of contesting 11 state delegate contests on that one horrendous Tuesday.

But Hart may not need organization. He will now become, in the words of one Democratic insider, "the candidate of the 6 oclock news. As such, organization and finances fade into irrelevance compared with what voters see on the television screen. The stampede away from Mndale in the New Hampshire campaigns final weekend suggests rejection of what they saw of him then.

- All but Harts closest supporters believe that the stampede clearly was anti-Mondale, not pro-Hart. The detached, even introverted senator is seen by the political community as a shadowy figure in the New djiampshire outcome, an available missing link thrust at the final moment into Pat Caddells strategic model.

Almost exactly a year before the New Hampshire primary, Caddells cool disdain for Mndale turned to hot fury when he read the Boston Globe of Feb. 25. In it. Mndale described Caddells famous 1979

Neither do I, Connie said rather bitterly.

How are the children? my wife asked.

Theyre all out of the nest. George is in computers, Harriet goes to Princeton, and Debbie drives a school bus.

But what do you do with yourself? my wife asked.

I went to law school six years ago. Im in practice with Covington and Burling. I never dreamed 25 years ago that I would want a career at this stage in life. But what choice does a woman have? You cant stay home all day long doing what you want to or people think your worthless.

Do you ever keep in touch with Midge?

"Poor Midge. I do see her once in a while. Shes a buyer in a department store, and shes been living with a guy for ten years, but he says if they get married it will spoil the relationship. Ive told her to dump him, but she says it ient that easy for a 46-year-old woman to find a guy these days.

Whatever happened to your dream house which cost us $45? I asked her.

When Ken and I broke up we sold it for $78.50 It was a big mistake because now its worth $150.

analysis of national malaise as crazy. Since then, Caddell has been in search of a candidate. Sens. Dale Bumpers and Joe Biden turned him down, and Sen. John Glenn ignored his tactical suggestions.

As portents of the New Hampshire outcome reached the Senate floor recently, some senators noted only half in jest that they might be in their Colorado colleagues shoes had they followed Caddell. But with mOdia attention centered on him. Hart no longer can merely be the dues ex machina in Mondales decline.

The Mndale camp intended before Maine to make sure of that. Mndale insiders talked about doing what had not been done so far: challenge Hart to specify those new ideas. The trouble with that ploy is iferts glib response to such questions, rattling off a series of recondite - ideas usually headed by his proposed individual training account for workers.*^

Besides, what Mondales supporters around the country want is a sign of his own dynamism rather than an exposure of Harts weakness.

Uie parly. The gray area between us is much grayer. Our differences are more subtle, Stewart says. The recognized differences between the candidates are so few, in fact, that theyve really sparred over only one issue: who can best open up the Senate.

Stewart says that to win this year, he must build a larger margin of victory in the west, break even in the Piedmont and win in the east. In 1980, he couldnt make many inroads in the east against easterner Green. His wife is from a prominent Bladen County family but Bladen went heavily for its native son Green. Stewarts not expecti^ to do as well in the Piedmont as in 1980 because thats Jordans base. But Stewart exudes confidence about winning. Hes saying it will be a close contest but he thinks hes overcome Jordans early organizational lead and larger campaign treasury and that hes on the brink of breaking a state tradition.Public Forum

To the editor:

Most of us are horrified at the number of murders taking place in our nation each day. Almost every newscast tells of some bizarre murder which has claimed an innocent life.

As we listen, we shudder to think that any sane person could commit such heinus crimes. Most of us are fed up with our liberal judicial system coddling such criminals. We feel the guilty of premeditated murder should receive maximum punishment - capital punishment which our state laws sanction. We abhor plea bargaining and the absurd insanity plea. Our patience is worn thin by such obvious illegal legalities.

Murder! No, we cannot condone such inhuman acts, we say. Our job is to protect the innocent from the depraved criminal.

Let us not forget, though, that we have repeatedly elected officials who are taking our tax money and murdering thc^nds of babies by abortion every day. Not guilty! Who is kidding whom?

If a woman is determined to abort her own child, let her pay for it. Let the blood be on her hands, not yours and mine.

We elect humanistic do-gooders without even asking where they stand on such issues. We, therefore, may be more guiltv of murder than the person who kills in the heat of passion or the drunk who runs down an innocent victim because of his inhibited reflexes. While we condemn both of these murderers, they cannot be indicted for pre-meditated murder.

Surely we cannot pleSd temporary insanity or self-defense when we continue to elect people to office who use our money to murder in the name of human rights or, on the insane notion of giving women the right to use their bodies as they please.

Lets vote against all politicians who will not clearly state their opposition to making us a partner in murder by using our money to pay for abortions, lassie Ree Langley P.O. Box 374 Sharpsburg

Bell Arthur Fire District Run On A Shoestring'

By STUARTSAVAGE Hefiector Staff Writer

"If we could get $25 from everyone in th fire district, we wouldnt need any tox, according to Sparky Mc-Caskill, treasurer of the Bell Arthur Fire Department.

McCaskill, explaining why the department is seeking a fire district tax, said in an interview the department has been "operating on a shoe string over the years, and now needs a new truck, which will cost about $74,000. "We just cant raise that kind of money .

Registered voters in the fire dis

trict will have the opportunity to vote on the special fire protection tax on Tuesday.

The volunteer fire department at Bell Arthur was organized in 1962, and still has Its first truck, a 1944 model. Since then, a 1966 tank truck and a 1976 fire engine have been added, as well as a new fire station to house the equipment.

"We are still providing the best fire protection the county has to offer anyone, McCaskill said, and "we dont owe anyone any money. The building, valued at $100,000, has been paid for, he said, as well as

Details Still Unclear As To Beirut Deaths

The parents and brother of Vio-lette Saad of Greenville reportedly died Monday in Beirut, l^banon. The causes of death have not been made clear to relatives here.

According to her husband, George Saad, Mrs. Saad was notified Monday that her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Touma, in their late 70s, had died as a result of injuries sustained in a head-on motor vehicle collision just outside Beirut. It was also reported to her that her brother, Joseph Touma, 45, had died the same day, possibly of natural causes.

The Saads have talked to a sister of Mre. Saad in Kuwait, who also did not have clear information, but have

been unable to talk directly to any of the Touma family in Beirut. Mrs. Saad has another brother who lives in Beirut, but the family so far has not been able to contact him.

"We know from news reports and from having talked with the person who notified us of the deatl that conditions are bad where Violettes parents lived, Saad said. "The >erson said it would be unsafe for )im to go out at that time to go and ask her brother to call us b^use there was shelling going on.

The elder Toumas and Joseph Touma and his family lived in the same apartment house near the Presidential Palace on the outskirts of Beirut, Saad said.

Bridge Out For Maybe A Week

DUNN, N.C. (AP) A truck pulling a construction crane on U.S. 421 hit an Interstate 95 bridge, tearing a beam from the bottom of the bridge, officials say.

Repairs could take a month and cost $100,000, according to William Jones, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation.

The beam was torn from the

inter^te's southbound bridge, and Jones said southbound traffic will detour a short distance around the bridge during the work.

The B&F Diamond Construction Co. Inc. truck from Columbus, Ga., was going north on U.S. 421 about 10:15 a.m. Tuesday when the crane struck the bridge, which is just east of Dunn, Trooper D.D. Watson of the state Highway Patrol said.

No one was injured, authorities said.

The departments 1976 model truck cost $34,000, but a comparable unit will cost $74,000. "We feel there is no way we can cook enough barbecue, have sales, turkey shoots or borrow the money to pay for this capital outlay. And inaividual donations are not that great, accordingArrest Youth In Vehicle Thefts

A 17-year-old Winterville youth has been arrested by Pitt County deputies on charges stemming from the theft of a school bus and two cars from county schools and a license plate from an Ayden vehicle. Sheriff Ralph Tyson said.

He said Steven Lamont Phillips of 426 Hillcrest Ave. was charged with taking a school bus from W.H. Robinson School in Winterville last Friday. Tyson said the bus was later discovered in the parking lot at D.H. Conley High School, where Phillips is a student.

The sheriff said Phillips was also charged with auto larceny in the theft of vehicles from D.H. Conley owned by Donna Mills and Kimberly Ann Chipman. He said the car belonging to Ms. Chipman, a student, was taken on Feb. 29, while Mrs. Mills, a teacher, reported her car missing last Friday. Both cars were found undamaged in an area near the east end of Main Street in Winterville.

Phillips was also charged with the theft of a license plate from a car owned by Ernestine Bright Rogers of 1803 Martin Circle, Ayden. Tyson said the plate was allegedly used on the Chipman and Mills vehicles.

Phillips was placed under a $10,000 secured bond, "fysen said.

to McCaskill.

McCaskill, who said "25 percent of our patrons do all the paying, s^ested that if everyone in the fire district would contribute $25 a year, we wouldnt need any tax.

But thats not the case.

When the department was organized, "95 percent of our volunteers were farmers ... self employed. Now, he continued, we have a much younger group. Most of them are employees of one firm or

another and cant get off to help beg, borrow and work on .func-raising projects.

A new truck, McCaskill said, would aid the department in securing a better fire insurance rating, from the present 9A rating to a class 8 rating, which would lower fire insurance rates for property in the district.

While approval of the referendum would allow an additional tax of up to 15 cents per $100 valuation on property in the district, McCaskill said a tentative budget, which would allow us to secure a down payment

on the new truck and pay for it in seven years at about 8 percent interest, and maintain the excellent service we now offer, proposes a tax rate of cents per $100 valuation.

McCaskill said the proposed 334 cents rate would raise between 114,000 and $15,000

Based on the $37 million to $40 million estimated value of the property in the district, 1 cent on the tax rate would raise from $3,700 to $4,000.

McCaskill said that if the fire protection tax passes we are only asking that residents of the district give up the insurance savings they are now receiving due to the fire department. In a year or so, according to McCaskill, by upgrading our department to a class 8, we will give it back to them in yet even greater insurance savings. All we are asking is a brief concession on their insurance savings, which will come back to them in about a year when we go to class 8. JWcCaskill smd homeowners insur

ance on a dwelling valued at $50,000 now costs $242 dollars a year in the fire district. With an improved rating, the cost would be $208

The proposed fire protection tax would cost the owner of a $50,000 home $5 for each 1 cent in fire district tax.

While the proposed budget for the coming year, according to McCaskill, is based on a 3-'4 cents fire tax rate, the final rate would be established by the Board of County Commissioners.

If the tax is approved, the fire district will bear the cost of the election, as well as costs involved in administration and collection of the tax. If the referendum fails, the county will pay for the election.

court system,

U.S. District Judge John A. Nordberg ruled the tapes admissible Tuesday in the trial of Harold Conn, a deputy Traffic Court clerk charged with nine counts of extortion and one count of racketeering for allegedly assuring favorable treatment in return for money. Opening arguments were to begin today.

Conn and eight others, including three judges and three lawyers, were indicted in December following the three-year corruption investigation.

Manning of Raleigh said he would ask the Supreme Court to review the decision by Superior Court Judge Frank Snepp.

Snepp on Tuesday denied defense "contentions that North Carolinas method of jury selection is unconstitutional as a matter of law and rejected complaints about the attorney generals role in executions as without merit and frivolous

Hutchins scheduled Jan. 13 execution was delayed by an appeal based on the exclusion of jurors opposed to capital punishment on death penalty juries. Manning argued Tuesday that U.S. District Judge James McMillan had granted new trials in four cases based on that reasoning.

If James Hutchins case had been among the four considered by McMillan, we would not be in a position to execute him today, Manning said, adding that five potential jurors in Hutchins- case were excused for being opposed to the death penalty.

But Snepp said McMillans ruling was countered by a decision in the Eastern District of North Carolina backing the exclusion of such jurors.

Although disappointed in the past, its the hope of this court that there still exists among the federal judiciary enough horse sense to refute the contentions of Judge McMillans motion, Snepp said Deputy Attorney General Jean Benoy argued Tue^y that the issue of death qualification of jurors had been raised prior to the trial-but was abandoned on direct appeal,

It is clear that on a previous motion ... the defendant was in a position to raise that issue but did not do so, he said. We say the court should deny on a procedural default.

Snepp said he did not understand defense attorneys contentions that the governor should have stricter contrbl over executions.

The court sets the execution date. What is the governor to do? Snepp said. He asks the attorney general for advice. Jim Hunt aint never been much of a lawyer and hebe been busy lately running for (U.S.) Senate.

Hutchins was convicted in September 1979 of the May 31, 1979, murders of three law enforcement officers in Rutherford County.ROSES DOOR BUSTERS!

Several States Check Doctors' Credentials

By The Associated Press

Several states are checking physicians qualifications and others are re-examining their medical licensing procedures following published reports that up to 3,000 doctors nationwide may be working under phony credentials.

I think its fair to say well approach this a little more cautiously in the future, Delaware Deputy Attorney General Edward Kafader, counsel to the Board cf Medical Practice, said Tuesday.

The New York Times reported Sunday that federal and state officials have launched a nationwide investigation into reports that up to 3,000 people may be working as doctors or seeking medical certification with false credentials, many from Caribbean medical schools.

According to the report, the probe was sparked by the U.S. Postal Services discovery last year of extensive trafficking in fraudulent credentials. Federal prosecutors recently disclosed that a Peruvian living in Alexandria, Va., had admitted daking some $1.5 million from 165 people in order to obtain fake documents for them, mainly from a school in the Dominican nblic.

tn informal survey by The A^ociated Press on Tuesday showed that at least nine states have responded by checking to see if the individuals listed by die U.S. Postal Service have been licensed, by further checking credentials of foreign school graduates or by reexamining the thoroughness of evaluation procedures. They are Washington, Maryland, Pdinsylvania, Rhode Island, New Yqrk, Illinois, Delaware, Minnesota

'The most extensive investigation is taking place in New York, where officials said at least three Kychiatric residents have already )een fired for falsifying credentials.

In addition, the credentials of more than 1,000 licensed physicians and residents are being examined bv the Office of Mental Health, which checks doctors applying to state psychiatric hospitals, and the Office of Professional Discipline, which handles all residents seeking licenses in New York, officials said.

A resident is a medical school graduate in training to get a medical license, usually in a specialty.

New York is also ^developing new guidelines for our hospitals to check the credentials of residents and all doctors, said Robert Spoor, spokesman for the Office of Mental Health.

Maryland officials are setting up a 12-member task force to ensure that physicians who graduated from foreign medical schools are properly trained, said Dr. C. Earl Hill, iresident of the state Board of edical Examiners.

The state alreadyj^uires verification of education outside the United States, but the recent reports show the need for tighter scrutiny, Hill said.

Pennsylvanias medical board is investigating allegations of phony credentials held by doctors in that state, including cases that arose from information supplied by the Postal Service, said board spokesman Stephen Gardner. He refused to elaborate.

Officials in Washington are checking credentials of five residents from medical schools in the Caribbean, demanding in-person

interviews as well as new documents from the schools and hospitals where the five have previously w(Hked, said Deanna Dicomes, executive secretary for the state medical disciplinary board.

The board wants to find a way to single out schools where if theyre not out and out selling degrees, theyre not doing a g^ job of teaching or they acc^t unqualified students, she said. One school offers degrees after six months, she said, not identifying it.

In Rhode Island, Bob Me-Clanaghan, director of the Division of Professional Regulation, said his office had not found any licenses granted to any of the 165 people listed by the Postal Service.

I think well increase our review of applicants from the Dominican Republic school cited, McClanaghan added.

Contacted about the reports, the American Medical Association said it keeps a databank on physicians, including the names of students who enter accredited U.S. medical schools and foreign-educated graduates who enter approved U.S. residency programs.

AMA spokeswoman Jen Breivogel in Chicago said the association encourages the public to go to local medical societies if they suspect doctors of practicing without a license.

But while some states are stepping up scrutiny of foreign-educated medical students, officials elsewhere said they feel current safeguards are sufficient.

Our board feels that the way it screens doctors is the best way it can be done, said Charles Janousek, director of the New Jersey Board. I dont believe there are phonies out there practicing.

We do look at graduates of Caribbean schools very closely and individually, said Michael Kelly, executive secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine.

Unorthodox Dentist Caught In Legal Tangle

By KRISTIN GAZLAY Associated Press Writer

SAN ANTONIO. Texas (AP) -iigns hanging on the walls of Dr. Barry Solomons dental clinics proclaim "We cater to cowards, and a 12-foot molar armed with a smile stahds guard outside one of the modest brick buildings.

Solomon and his partners have used advertising, discount coupons and word of mouth to attract some 40,000 dental patients and, in an unusual twist, offer a money-back guarantee.

An energetic, self-styled crusader for both tooth and truth, Solomon is not exactly popular with some other dentists.

He attributes the ill will to competitive jealousy."But Dr, Neil Morgan, a member of the San Antonio District Dental Society, sums up the situation with a pithy

question.

"You cant like someone whos got a $3 million lawsuit pending against

you, can you? Morgan said, ___

Solomon and some of his associates in the Family Dental Health Centers have filed a ^ million antitrust suit against the local dental group and the Texas Dental Association, contending they were wrongfully suspended from membership and asking reinstatement. The local groups two-year suspension of the six dentists, beginning in June 1982, made them ineligible for membership in the state group. ^

The suspensions, the June 1983 suit contends, were a vindictive retaliatory scheme intended to kill price competition in the field of dentistry.

Now the maverick dentist is preparing for a battle that could end

with his license being suspended or revoked by the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners.

_ The board has scheduled a May hearing on a complaint against Solomon, taking exception to his use of the words totally preventable in an advertisement concerning gum disease.

Hes a marketeer and marketeering is legal now, said Morgan, who also is secretary of the state Board. Its when he borders and walks the tightrope of legality -thats when the proper authorities walk in.

Solomon, 42, maintains that dentistry has become stodgy and at least 20 years behind the times. Very little of what Ive done is innovative or new, he said. It just hasnt been done in San Antonio. This 4s a new era of consumer marketing and dentistry is part of

that.

Solomons two roomy San Antonio clinics are full of offbeat touches. He has chairs in the shape of molars. Rainbow-hued signs are posted on the ceiling over some of the reclining chairs, telling white-knuckled patients: Smile.

Plaques shaped like molars say; We cater to cowards, because we believe there is never an excuse for an uncomfortable experience in a dental office.

We were conditioned in dental school to believe that professionals shouldnt advertise, Solomon said. Well why not?

And if you pay your hard-earned money to a dentist, why arent you entitled to a guarantee? Its not any different than Sears, Roebuck guaranteeing their products, he said. He said he could recall redoing three peoples dental work for free and refunding one womans money for denture work.

Solomon was suspended from the local dental society in June 1982, allegedly for making false and misleading comments in a television interview.

Solomon said his words were: We gear our practice towards completely painless dentistry and we do something that is somewhat unusual, we completely guarantee the work to our patients satisfaction.

He contends the dental society members heard only the buzzwords painless and guarantee, and suspended him without fully examining the statement. The local dental society refuses to discuss the suspension, saying it is an internal matter.

A place in the local dental society is needed for American Dental Association membership, which carries benefits including life and disability insurance, prestige and help in continuing education. Solomon said.

In addition, Solomons antitrust suit says, several qualified members of his Family Dental Health Centers were refused entrance to the local group simply because of their association with him.

Solomon says that after much argument, the dentists were offered membership on a probated basis -

the probation to end when the new issue of the Yellow Pages comes out, a reference to Solomons heavy advertising On this issue, too, the local dental society has refused to comment. But Dr. Dan Peavy. president of the San Antonio District Dental Society, denied any vendetta against the Family Dental Health Centers.

Dr Solomon started the suit and he can stop it, Peavy said. Were meanwhile having to show his attorneys that there has been no restraint of trade or conspiracy against Dr. Solomon or his partners. Were proving that th(e accusations arefalk.

It was a February 1983 newspaper advertisement that prompted the state boards complaint against

Solomon.

Solomons repeated comments that most gum surgery now is unnecessary - and almost criminal - already had outraged many periodontists, but saying gum disease was totally preventable could be consumer fraud, Morgan said.

I dont think any scientist or doctor around the world would say anything is totally preventable, except maybe polio, Morgan said. 'He did not qualify his statement in anyway.'

Solomon counters that in the light of todays knowledge, surgery is controversial. These guys are getting away with murder by charging a lot of money - plus, youre getting cut on.

Sunlight Dispute To Court

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) - In what might be called a shady case, two neighbors are going to court in a clash between one familys right to enjoy the sun and the others desire to keep its trees.

Attorneys for both sides say the ca^e may break new legal ground.

The problem started in 1972 when trees planted by P. Herbert Leiderman, a Stanford University psychiatry professor, and his wife, Gloria, began blocking the sunlight into the yard and home of Rudoli^ Sher, an engineering professor, and his wife. Bonnie.

What was once a bright, cheery and warm house has become dark, cold-feeling and depressing, said Victor Sher, who is representing his parents in their private nuisance suit against the Leidermans.

If the trees were reasonably controlled, the Leidermans could have their privacy and aesthetics and my parents could have their solar access, Sher said 'Tuesday;

Leiderman has a right to enjoy his trees, said Mark Solomon, the Leidermans attorney.

Weve made efforts in the past to comply with what the Shers have stated as their needs, said Mrs. Leiderman. Weve cut trees and trimmed trees.

But theres a limit to the amount of impingement of our enjoyment of our trees that were wiling to accept, she added. We love our trees. We enjoy the owl that comes in to sit in the tall tree and the birds that have nested there.

Both sides say the Santa Clara County Superior Court suit, which asks that the Leidermans be ordered to cut down some of their trees, trim others and pay $33,000 in damages, could set a legal precedent.

The suit claims the trees and their shadows constitute a private nuisance that blocks solar heat and light and causes severe emotional distress. Traditionally, American courts have not permitted private nuisance suits to extend to conflicts over sunlight.

But attorney Sher said the rule against being able to sue for sunlight is an outmoded doctrine thats got to go

The suit cites the California Solar Shade Control Act, which makes it illegal to maintain trees that shade a pre-existing solar collector, as an example of changing attitudes toward access to the sun.

Historically, there was a strong public policy to encourage urban development, and the courts to(^ a position that you cant sue for the right to sunlight, Sher said.

Trying To Solve Deficits Proves Quagmire

WASHINGTON (AP) - Con-

rissional efforts to find a way out the federal governments red ink ' tjiiagmire have run into more trou-*te.

- A move by Senate Republican , leaders to draft a $150 billion * ifeficit-reduction plan has brought ^imposition from Sen. John Tower, ihe influential chairman of the ^med Services Committee, who is warning that a provision to cut the P.entagon budget may be well be beyond the bounds of prudent risk.

In addition, President Reagan reportedly has expressed virtually no enthusiasm for the plan, dimming prospects for the resumption of talks between Congress ana the White House on reducing the federal budget deficit.

And the Senate Finance Committee, which is trying to draft its own $100 billion deficit-reduction package, was trying again today. The panel canceled a public session Tuesday while it tried to agree privately on tax provicions affecting health care and the life insurance and construction industries.

ROSENTHAL ' ; * Associated Press Writer ' ::WASHINGTON (AP) - Be it kown by these presents, read the invitation, that the Vice President ; of the United States and Mrs. Bush and the Living Children of the Presidents of the United States will be honored at a festive Elizabethan Feast h(ted by Senator and Mrs. Mark 0. Hatfield.

Well, not all the children.

Eight -presidential descendants V made it. John Eisenhower, looking more and more like his father; Elliott Roosevelt, close but not the spitting image; Susan Ford Vance, pretty like her mothejjj, and Michael Ford, the son we didnt see very often.

.The other descendants, Lyon ; Tyler, grandson of president John, a professor of history at the Citadel;

William Howard Taft III, grandson of WHT-the-first and another grandson, former Sen. Robert Taft ; Jr. And finally, Margaret Hoover Brigham, Herberts first grandchild.

.SENECA, S.C. (AP) - A 63-year-old Baptist minister charged with stabbing a fellow minister to death just before Sunday services ;keeps confusing things with 'wartime and suffers from Korean War flashbacks, the accused mans daughter said.

The Rev. Otis Pettigrew was charged Sunday with the murder of the Rev. Henry Sullivan, who was found stabbed 12 times in his study at Mount Nebo Baptist Church. A 14-inch butcher knife found at the scene had tape wound around the handle to form a bayonet-like hand guard, police said.

Pettigrews daughter, Annette, said her father had a nervous breakdown in the 1960s following his honorable discharge after 25 years in the Army.

of the Roosevelts werent. And Margaret Truman got some shots for a trip to Africa, suffered a bad reaction and had to send her regrets.

But it was festive, nonetheless, this party of, by and for Hatfield, one of the more unusual fund-raisers in this town where fund-raisers are like buses; miss one and the next is just down the road.

Hatfield, Republican senator from Oregon, amateur historian of some repute, collector of presidential memorabilia, held his party in the Folger Shakespeare Library, one of the classiest places on Capitol Hill. In the Great Hall, a waterman shucked Plump Whitstable Oysters and there was spicy brawn pastry (pork tenderloin) and hard-cooked quail eggs wrapped in Midlothian sausage.

Clearly not your chicken-peas-mashed potato yawner. Shakespeare would have approved.

Remember Troilus and Cressida: He eats nothing but doves, love; and that breeds hot blood, and hot blood begets hot thoughts, and hot thoughts beget hot deeds, and hot deeds is love.

They chatted among the Olde English Standing Rib Roasts, hedgerows and gardens of fresh fruits displayed from trellises hanging with fresh grapes, and wheels of country cheeses.

Hatfield, in a brief speech, said politicians owe a major portion of their success to their families which often are sacrificed to the higher calling of public duty.

So, he said, when he was thinking of a fund-raiser for his upcoming campaign for a fourth Senate term, We thought it was a great idea to honor the descendants, particularly the children and the grandchildren of the presidents of the United States.

There was no more speechmaking, even by the vice president, and very little politicking. Bush circulated around, enjoyed some of the oysters, and talked about how different the campaign trail is for him now that-hes vice president and not a presidential candidate.

I always said Air Force Two beats Cessna One, Bush said.

Then, he and Mrs. Bush made their way out of the room, slowly. Just as it was in Richard II: Then let us take a ceremonious leave, and a loving farewell of our several friends.

Republican Sens. Pete V. Domenici of New Mexico, who heads the Budget Committee, and Mark 0. Hatfield of Oregon, who heads the Appropriations Committee, have been working to build a three-year, $150 billion plan for deficit reductions as a way to revive the bipartisan talks on reducing federal budget deficits.

The package would contain about $45 billion in savings each from increased taxes, cuts in defense spending and reductions in domestic spending. The rest would come from savings in the cost of interest in the national debt due to the reduced deficit.

To achieve the defense savings, the increase in military spending authority for next year would be held to 5 percent instead of the 13 percent boost that Reagan has requested.

However, on Tuesday, Tower, R-Texas, rejected that approach. I think its too low, he said. I dont think in terms of percentages. ... I think in terms of the ^ threat from the Soviet Union.

Nonetheless, Tower who is retiring from the Senate this year amid speculation that he may seek to become secretary of defense in a econd Reagan administration -icknowledged that the mood in Congr^ is to trim the presidents $305 billion request in defense spending authority in fiscal 1985, which begins Oct. 1. I have no doubt we will reduce it and reduce it significantly, he said.

In separate testimony before the Senate Budget Committee, while Domenici listened. Tower scolded some in Congress (who) are con

sidering reductions from the presidents request well beyona the bounds of prudent risk.

Tower also criticized the concessional practice of making de-ense and foreign policy decisions primarily on political grounds, rather than on actual needs, and belittled legislators who reject the presidents budget out of hand.

Some in Congress have assumed an almost sanctimonious attitude that I believe vastly inflates our individual and collective competence, Tower told the Budget Committee, which has rejected the iresidents budget outright in the ast two years.

Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker, R-Tenn., and Sen. Paul Laxalt, R-Nev., reportedly briefed Reagan on the Hatfield-Domenici plan on Monday. Sources close to the White House discussion who spoke only on the condition that they would not be named, said the president offered neither encouragement nor a negative response to Baker and Laxalt.

The presidents reported lukewarm response to the briefing from Baker and Laxalt appeared to reflect a simmering dispute within the Reagan camp over whether to continue the talks that Reagan proposed for finding a $100 billion down payment on eliminating deficit federal spending.

The sources said some of the presidents advisers have argued in favor of walking away from the talks and blaming congressional Democrats for intransigence while other advisers say the deficit issue is too volatile to simply be abandoned.

Reagans proposed fiscal 1985 budget projects a deficit of $180.4

billion.

The bargaining stalled last week with Democrats complaining that Reagan refused to consider a slowdown in Pentagon spending and Republicans charging that Democrats were engaged in political posturing on tax increases.

After Towers testimony Tuesday, Domenici conceded that in the current election-year climate in Congress, a $150 billion package of deficit reduction measures probably is optimum.

Domenici added that if he and Hatfield dont get a package that gets some consensus (then) well

just plow ahead with Budget Committee plans to begin drafting a budget outline on March 26. t It would be much better if we had consensus with the White House, Domenici said.

Inlt Jetties Again Approved

WMfflNfiTON (APJ A third House committee gave its approval Tuesday to legislation intended to protect North Carolinas Oregon Inlet from being closed by drifting sand, which would deny tte states fishing fleet access to the Atlantic Ocean.

The House Public Works Committee on voice vote approved the bill, which gives about 150 acres of Interior Department land to the Army Corps of Eneineers for construction of jetties that would divert the sand.

Tne House interior and Merchant Marine committees had approved the bill earlier. It can now go'to the House floor.

Oregon Inlet cuts throu^ North Carolinas Outer Banks and provides access to the ocean for the states commercial fishing fleet. But storms and tide sweep sand into the inlet, and it is constantly threatened with being cl(Ked to navigation,

The proposed cure would build two mile-long stone jetties into the ocean to block the drifting sand. The bill before Congress would facilitate the-plan by transfering land for the jetty anchors to the corps of engineers from the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge.Town Banishes Biting Doberman

SHREWSBURY, Mail. (AP) -

Orders to a Ooberman pinscher-Stay out of town!

Shrewsbury is off limits to the do{ after it allegedly bit a jogger, am another dog owned by the same person could be next, selectmen said Monday night.

The selectmen issued the restriction based on a report from d(^ officer Shirley Menendez, who said the Doberman, owned by Helen Garabedian, bit jogger Jean Corrao on New Years Day.

On a unanimous vote, the selectmen approved a motion to

ban the ck^ from the town which had done the biting and require that the owner, restrain the other dog to the premises at all times

Mrs. Garabedian told me the dbg that lt Mrs. Corrao is now living with her daughter in Worcester, Mrs. Menendez told the selectmen. However there is no guarantee the dog will stay at th daughters h<me.

She said the Garabedians had been chronic offenders, allowing their dogs to roam at will and failing to license them. Mrs. Garabedian did not testify.

The motion included a provision that if the other dog strays, it will be automatically banished as well.BILL'S FAST FOOD

COMEBACK TRAIL PARIS (AP) - Former President Valery Giscard dEstaing, unseated

by the Socialists in 1981, says he will run for a seat in the National Assembly in 1^.

Recently released figures from the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina show that the preliminary unemployment rate rose slightly in Pitt County during the month of January from 7.3 to 7.8 percent. This figure shows a considerable decline from the January, 1983 rate of 9.5 percent. January estimates reveal that the preliminary labor force in Pitt County was 47,420, with 43,730 being employed and 3,690 unemployed.

Compared with December estimates, it appears the labor force decreased by 170 during the month of December and that employment decreased by 380. The number of Pitt County residents who were unemployed increased by 210.

During the month of January annual seasonal influences contributed to the incease in North Carolinas total unemployment rate, which is 8.1 percent.

Changes Proposed In N.C. Education Board

RALEIGH (AP) - The North Carolma Board of Education would grow from 13 to 21 members and the states top public school official would be appointed - not elected by the ^lic under a plan recommend by a l^islative panel.

The propBi by the uVfariC Committee of the Public Education Policy Council also calls for the new state superintendent of public education to appoint the controller of the state Department of Public Education.

The state board now appoints the controller, its chief financial officer, who operates independently of the state superintendent also heads a separate department.

incumbent superintendent A. Craig Phillips said he orooses the expansion of the board or the apiwintment of the superintendent because the present pun can be effective and has been effective.

But Phillips said he did favor the elimination of the dual management system that provides for an elected superintendent and a controller appointed by the state board.

He said the controller should report to the superintendent.

Committee members said that the chaises would make the states ti public school officials more a cessible to the public.

The current school board includes two ex-officio members - the lieutenant governor and the state treasurer - and 11 members appointed by the governor. The board members serve eight-year terms.

SAVE MONEY ... shop and use the Classified Ads every day!

The new plan would increase that number to 21, each of whom could serve up to two four-year terms. The panel would include the lieutenant governor and state treasurer, 11 members elected by the Legislature from the states ll congressional uiSuicta and eight ruiucfs appointed by the governor from the states eight educational districts.

The committee recommended that the plan take effect in January, 1969, which would allow the superintendent of public instruction to complete a four-year term.

The full council is scheduled to consider the proposal March 27. If recommended by that panel, the plan would require a constitutional amendment to be implemented.

$ The campaign, which will take place for 10 weeks during the tfummer, will attempt to sign up 1 ihiillion low-income voters.

' 'During the "Mississippi Freedom Summer 1964" thousands of blacks registered after the Voting Rights Act removed some legal impediments. Three student registrars lost their lives during that campaign.

"It was like guerrilla warfare to

go into the delta of Mississippi or the black belt of Alabama." said Atlanta City Councilman John Lewis, a student organizer 20 years ago who later headed the Voter Education Project.

"In those days, people risked life and limb." James Farmer, founder of the Congress of Racial Equality, said. "The students who volunteered. volunteered knowing they might be giving up tomorrow. It's not that kind of situation now. This time, you won't get to be heroes. Youll just get to be tired."

The undershirts, which have "Future Girl Scout" and the organizations logo printed across the front, will be distributed at 10 hospitals in Delaware, Maryland

and Virginia in observance of Girl Scout Week, which begins Sunday, said council spokeswoman Claudia French.

The council bought about 280 shirts and paid the printing costs, Ms. French said. Participating hospitals were told "to just keep giving them out until they run out. she said.

So far. "the response has been real good, she added. Presumably none of the potential Scouts have complained, anyway.

Some Questons Hard To Explain

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -Lawyers being quizzed by an appellate court usually find an answer for every question, but some questions are harder than others.

Attorney John Wakefield was appealing his clients rape conviction Tuesday before the California Supreme Court. Aside from improperly admitted evidence, he declared, the case boiled down to his word

versus her word."

But, Chief Justice Rose Bird interjected, wasnt the defendant caught naked in the womans bedroom?

Wakefield hesitated only a moment.

"I knew somebody was going to bring that up, he said. It is a little hardtoexplain."

He then changed the subject.

which represents 3.5 million students on 280 campuses in 30 states, and the National Student Educational Fund, a non-profit research and educational organization which focuses on higher education issues.

Lorraine Sheehan, Maryland secretary of state, said the campaign has the kind of support which would not have been dreamed about 20 years ago. In 1964, many officials charged with responsibility for elections were an impediment to voter registration." she said. Ms. Sheehan represented the National Association of Secretaries of State.

Gregory Moore, a graduate of Ohio University who is president of the student association, said this campaign sets out to continue the work that was begun on the battlefields of the Jim Crow South. What distinguishes Freedom Summer 84 is its outreach into cities in the Northeast, Midwest, North and South. We take firm exception with the premise that students are apathetic.

Some 66 percent of the 143 million eligible white voters, 59 percent of the 17,6 million eligible black voters and 35 percent of the 9 million eligible Hispanic voters were registered in 1980. About 74 million of the 160 million eligible Americans did not vote in 1980 and 40 million were unregistered.

The campaign will operate on a $250,000 budget in 60*^ties in 18 states California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida. Georgia, Illinois, Iowa. Michigan. New Jersey. New Mexico, New York. North Carolina, Ohio. Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

The money is to come from foundations like the Field Foundation and the Stern Family Fund and from private donations, according to Hulbert James, executive director of the Human Serve Fund.

About 100 student coordinators will be paid stipends of $100 a week to supervise volunteers who will be deputized to register voters.

"The focus is on low income persons because the high number of unregistered voters is in this cagetory and they are the hardest ones to get at, James said. We targeted those agencies because that is where the people are.

million barrels a day from all sources, according to Department of Energy estimates.

But many of those sources are nowhere near the volatile Persian Gulf, where Iran has rep^eatedly threatened to close the 50-mile-wide Strait of Hormuz, the bottleneck between die gulf_and the Arabian 'Sea.

President Reagan has said the United States cannot allow the Strait of Hormuz to be closed Last Sunday. the Navy destroyer Lawrence fired warning shots to make an Iranian patrol plane keep its distance. and warned an Iranian frigate by radio not to get any closer.

Tankers carry 7.5 million barrels of oil a day through the strait, but only about 500,000 barrels of that goes to.the United States. A barrel is 42 gallons.

Oil shipped through the strait makes up 18 percent of the worlds daily crude consumption.

As a gauge of how things have changed since the time when OPEC swung a big stick, withdrawals from the oil bank could cover almost 900 days of the U.S. imports that move from the strait and about seven months of all imports from all OPEC members.

The top five oil exporters to the United States these days are Mexico at 807,000 barrels a dav, Canada at

460.000, Venezuela 413,000, the United Kingdom 369,000, and Indonesia

336.000.

In a series of tests, the last one on Feb. 28. officials showed that the five operating storage facilities in the oil bank, with all pumps going, could extract about 3 million barrels a day. Guy King, a Strategic Petroleum Reserve spokesman, said that when the project is completed in 1991, with 750 miUion barrels banked, it will be fusible to draw more than 4 million barrels a day.

The test was ordered by the inspector general to find out for sure that we could do it," King said. "We hope it laid to rest all those questions

Won His Suit,

All $5 Worth

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) - Bruce Tucholke can celebrate a courtroom victory, but he wont be retiring on the judgment he won - $5.

The case began in January, when Tucholke, of North Mankato, stopped at Lagers Chrysler World in Mankato to inquire about a new car.

As he was leaving, he saw a bright red poster in the shape of a stop sign that stated, Stop $5 if we failed to offer you a demonstration drive.

So Tucholke, who had not been offered a test drive, asked a salesman for the money.

The salesman referred him to the sales manager, who said, according to Tucholke, that it was company policy to pay the $5 only after a car was purchased.

So Tucholke sued in Blue Earth County Conciliation Court, asking for $5 - plus $1,245 in punitiye damages for false and misleading advertising.

In a memo last week. Judge James Harten dismissed the $1,245 claim, calling it totally beyond reality. But he awarded Tucholke the $5, saying he had a right to expect fulfillment of the dealers offer.

Despite the judgment, Jerry Lager, owner of Lagers, said he doesnt intend to take the sign down.

as tQ whether .we, can get, the.oij. out.

King referred to accusations by a House Government Operations energy subcommittee, headed by Rep. Mike Synar, D-Okla., that equipment was so poor the SPR ran the risk of being uriable to get its oil back out of the salt caverns

The subcommittee also charged that project officials had a poor accounting system and accused them of paying too little attention to fire protection and failing to monitor contractor performance.

In hearings last year before the subcommittee, project officials said problems had been corrected.

There are' at least 35(1 of the mountain-size domes of salt, underground and out of sight, along the Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama coasts. The salt is so hard it feels like marble when pieces of it are handled, but like any rock salt it can be dissolved by water.

In the six domes chosen as storage sites, water was injected into the salt, the salt dissolvj and the brine was pumped out, leaving vast caverns several thousand feet below the grass. Then, in five of the caverns, the oil was pumped in. The sixth is still under construction.

Oil doesn't dissolve salt, so SPR officials compare the caverns to huge glass bottles. ^

Except for guard and maintenance buildings, the only surface

structures at the fiy^storage faci ties are pipeline valves and pumps.

Underground pipelines that can pj^p oil into or oiit of the caverns connect the facilities to tanker dixks and to pipelines that extend up through the Midwest.

One cavern is in use in Te.xas under Bryan Mound, near Freeivri. and another is under construction at Big Hill, near Winnie, Texas

In Louisiana, the SPR has oil reserves in West Hackberry and Sulphur Mines, both near Lake Charles; Weeks Island, once a big salt mine near .New Ilieria; and Bayou Choctaw. near Baton Rouge.

King said the oil bank grows at the rate of 186,(KK) barrels a clay, brought in by tankers, and will continue to do so through fiscal 1984.

Thus far, the oil has cost over $12 billion with final costs projected at $30 billion
