_ I - _Soviets Seek Help To Fight Nuclear Fire

MOSCOW (AP) - The Soviet government applied for advice from two countnes in fighting a fire at its Chernobvl nuclear power plant, which stul may be spewing radioactivity into the atmosf^re today after a disastrous accident.

The Sviets today called the accident in the Ukraine a disaster and said victims were receiving aid. A F(Xign Ministry spokesman warned that ^vel to Kiev, 60 miles south of the plant, might be dangerous, but there was no confirmed word on

Officials in West Germany and Sweden said the Soviet Union had

asked fm* help in the accident which sent a radioactive cloud above Scandinavia, m(% than 750 miles away to the northwest. An official the West German atoimc energy lobbying groiQ) said a Soviet diplomat asked that anti-radiation experts and medicine be made available.

Experts and officials in the United States said the disaster was almost certainly a fuel meltdown that caused fatalities, and that radioactivity could pose a long-term health risk in the area and possibly affect the Dnieper Riv.

One collector did suggest that you check catalogs available at Sheppard Library.

four-sentence dispatch saying one of the plants atomic reactors was damaged and measures were being taken to eliminate the consequences.

It did not say how serious the accident was or when it occurred. Ab-mmally high radiation levels were first dented Sunday in Finland and also reported in Denmark and Sweden.

A brief broadcast over Radio Moscow was the first information today from the Soviets.

A government commission has been set up to investigate what caused the accident... and efforts are be

ing applied to eliminate the conse-

(luences of the accident and to help tnevi(.....

victims.

The disaster was the first one at Soviet nuclear power plants in more than 30 years, the broadcast said. Drastic measures are being carried out to guarantee the power reactors reliability and safety.

Manfred PetroU, of the West German Atomic Forum, said today the Soviet Embassy in Bonn asked for advice on how to fight a fire in a nuclear power plant.

That must be the worst (accident)

that has ever happened in the peaceful use of nuclear energy, Petroll

told The Associated Press. His group promotes the use of nuclear power in West Germany.

The Soviet ambassador was here at the ministry this morning and was offered all possible assistance we could give, West Orman Foreign Ministry spokesman Klaus-Peter Ringwaldsaid.

In Stockholm, Frigyes Reisch, a reactor inspector at Swedens State Nuclear Power Inspection Board, said Soviet officials sought Swedish. advice on how to combat a fire in a nuclear plant.

Reisch said in a radio interview said he was certain the reactors fuel

melted, which can occur when heat in a core builds up faster than it can be released, and radioactive material may be boiled off into the at-mosirfiere.

Ulf Baverstam, senior scientist at the National Institute of Radiation Protection in Stockholm who appeared on ABC-TVs (Jood Morning America, said: The absolutely latest news is that the Russians have asked the Swedes to help them to fight a fire in their burning grajAite reactor and evidently its quite a huge accident that has gone on.

FINAL TRIP The remains of one of the seven crewmembers killed when the space shuttle Challenger exploded is carried to a C-141B Starlifter jet by an honor guard early today at Kennedy Space Center. Remains of the seven

astronauts were flown to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware today to be prepared for burial. At least two of the astronauts will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. (AP Laserphoto)

Space Center Honors Astronauts

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -Thousands of space center workers, many in tears, paid tribute to Challengers seven astronauts today as the remains were flown in flag-drap^ caskets to Delaware to be readied for burial.

'The workers lined roadways as seven hearses carried the bodies from a medical laboratory to a concrete runway built for triumphal space shuttle landings. The largest crowds were outside the Kennedy Space Center headquarters building and near the huge hangar where shuttles are assembled. ^

At the runway, with a military tKMMNT guard standing at attention, the coffins were loaded one by one onto a C-141 aircraft for the flight to Dover Air Force Base. There, NASA said, the remains will be prepared in accordance with the wishes of the families.

Seven astronaut escorts accompanied the bodies to Delaware.

There were no bands, no speeches, justsiloice.

At 9:34 a.m. EDT, the aircraft departed - three months and one day after Challenger exploded nine

miles above Earth as most of those who were here today watched in horror.

The Dover mortuary is the East Coast receiving and embalming site for remains of goverment employees, military personnel or their relatives. In most cases, autopsies are performed at the site of death and embalmhg, cremation or

aration for burial takes place in ilaware.

Among those treated there were the 237 U.S. servicemen kille4 in the 1983 Beirut, Lebanon, terrorist bombing, the 256 soldiers killed in the December jetliner crash in Newfoundland and the 913 Peoples Temple members who committed suicide at Jonestown, Guyana, in 1978.

Martin Says Cuts Not So 'Bad'

ByJANEWELBORN Reflector Staff Writr ,

State Sen. Bob Martin, who represents Pitt County in the state Legislature, told members of the Pitt County Department of Social Services Monday that he does not think funding problems for DSS will be as drastic as has been predicted under the federal Gramm/Rudman-Hollings deficit-reduction legislation.

Advisory Panel Cites Progress By Police

By DON REUTER Reflector Staff Writer The Greenville Police Department has made significant professional progress during the past two years, according to a rep<^ presented by the departments advisory committee at a meeting of the Greenville City Council Mcmoay ni^t.

We recommend that the department continue on the prraent course of building a professional police agency re^esenutive of the quality and nature of our community, Dr. John R. Ball, (duirman of the committee, wrote in the report.

The Police Advisoi7 Committee

was formed at the direction of die council in September 1985. The committee was charged with reviewing the activities d the Greenville lice Department from a citizens live.

Ball, who presented the report to the board, said strides have been made to improve the police departments relati(mship with the community, but several things still need to be accomplished.

The public image of the police department is considerably improved, he said. However, there are some things that can be done to our benefit.

The police department should keep Greenville residents up to date with what kind of {N*otection it is pro-, viding, according to Bali.

In community relations, there has been some reorganization. We have to be more assertive instead of passive in getting information to the news media, he said. It is important to have information available to the public.

Ball said residents should be well-informed about crimes in their area, but also should be reminded of successful police work.

Very often, people hear about home break-in^nd business break-

ins, but they dont get enough into> mation about attempte to solve crimes, he said. Some effort should be made to let people know about the concentration of crimes' They should know where the criines are and whats happening.

Meanwhile, Ball said renovations at the police department in Ciity Hall are necessary, but they are alro an indication of a growing community.

The renovations are occumog and it is timely, he said. But. if w< look down the road, the councu will at some point, have to talk about replacement.

Variety Spices Girls Collection Of Erasers

College Bouiiii Winners Selected Saturday Night

' By PEGGY SCHMIDT Lcaster Sunday News LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) - What does a miniature Statue of Liberty have to do with a tiny replica of a transf(Miner, or a penlight battery have in common wiUi a small Popsi-cle? ^

Well, they might have a double life. In addition to what they look like, they could function as erasers. And they might all be counted among the 1.016 novelty erasers in Holli Kohar-checkscoUecticKi.

The Lititz girl has been collecting erasers since she was 9. One day I went to the dentist, she said, and he had a treasure chest. I picked an eraser (a spaceship). I thought it was neat, and it woula be fun to collect them.'

Now 12 years old, the Warwick Middle School student said she'had kept her first erasers in fishing boxes but they began to get smashed in the boxes, so she opted for knick-knack display shelves. Displayed in the miniature cubicles are tiny Cabbage Patch dolls, a covered wagon, gum packs and milk and juice cartons.

Complementing the display shelves in her bedroom are a number of latch-ho(^ wall hangings executed by HoUis mother, Paulette, from her own collection, Everything and anything that has to do with Scotties, including the real thing.

According to Mrs. Koharchek, Holli has been collecting for so long, its really hard to find new ones. We check the gift shops every few months, because we know she doesnt have the new arrivals. Now were going to antique places. We found a Laurel and Haray, and they wanted $10 fw the pair. The price is really getting up (on the older ones).

Some of Hollis collection pieces are actually pencil sharpeners with erasers attached, such as a plastic wedge of cake topped by a strawberry eraser. Others, such as the

foot-long matchstick or the chocolate Popsicle, are really pencils - the match head and the Popsicle stick are the erasers.

We try to stay away from the flat ones, said Mrs. Koharcheck, noting that the three dimensional figures are more interesting because they can be better displays. And the flat ones, the children use in school. You wouldnt want to use these. Theyre too nice.

While Holli started her collection locally, she has gone far afield to add to the exhibit. She has a pair of Liberty Bells from Philadelphia, and a British flag that was brought to her from England.

People go somewhere and they know she collects, so they try to get something from that area, said her

mother.

Holli hopes to expand the collection with more erasers from outside the United States and, according to her father, an aunt visiting from Czechoslovakia intends to help her reach that goal.

^ A well-organized young lady, Holli keeps a notebook with an up-to-date inventory of her collection. After about 50, I started to categorize them, she said.

When she isnt cataloging erasers, Holli has a few other interests to keep her busy.

I like tb draw, she said, and Ive been taking art lessons for seven years.

In addition, she plays the flute in the middle'school band and, her mother reports, manages to stay on the school honor roll.

If there is one disadvantage to her extensive collection, Holli admits that it is that the exhibits need to be dusted. But her father says he has a solution to that problem. He plans to cover the front of the display shelves with Plexiglas so the collection will afford only pleasure no housekeeping for his daughter.

never, for a minute. Believed half of the things I told them. \

I told them if they made terrible faces, their faces would freeze, but they didnt buy it.

I told them if they put their hands outside of a car window, their hand would blow off, but they just laughed.

Even when I offered to document the story of a child who swallowed bubble gum and his insides stuck together and he could never play baseball again because his arms stuck to his sides, they remained non-believers.

Now that they are grown, they are totally out of control. If I told them Wednesday followed Tuesday, theyd say, Are you sure? That is why I CMildnt help sharing with them a letter that I receivea from a young mother in Missouri. In some ways, its the support system I needed for all those ye^ when I tried to protect my children from pain and disap-pmntment through my wisdom.

Couple Marries In Cary Ceremony

CARY - The wedding ceremony of Gail Thornbury and Gary Ostrishko to<4( place i^il 12 in the First United Methodist (Aurch. The Rev. James Miller performed the ceremony.

The oride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.M. Brown and the biideeroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Ostrishko, all of Cary.

The bride is a graduate of East Carolina University and the bridegroom is a graduate of Embry lUddle Aeronautical University and is emi^oyed by Piedmont Airlines.

The couple will live in Cary.

Cured meats lose uality rapidly when frozen and hsould be used as quickly as possible.

The mother was riding in the car with her 5-year-old when she noticed he was licking the metal zipper in his coat. She stopped the car and delivered a detailed explanation of what could happen if he continued to put his warm tongue on anything cold. I would stick there and he would go through the rest of his life with a coat hanging onto the end of his tongue and people would stare and he would look mnny in the class picture and it went on and on.

He looked at her like my children looked at me and every other child looked at their mother since the beginning of time. With open disbelief. '

Later that afternoon, his older sister came running into the house to inform her mother that her brother was stuck to a chain link fence by... guess what? You got it. His tongue.

~ Our heroine moved with the speed of a gazelle. She grabbed a plastic glass and filled it with warm water and in her house slippers ran out of the house where she nit a patch of ice and slid down the hill at an angle. She hit the grass and turned a cartwheel, spilling the water. When her daughter returned with more water, she severed the relations between the fence and his tongue.

When she got to the house she had suffered two badly cut hands, two badly bruised knees, a bruised elbow and a dislocated shoulder. The tongue took two weeks to heal.

1 put down the letter and said to" them, You see. Your mother was telling you the truth all of those years. It pays to listen to us. We know what were talking about.

One of my kids peeled a banana and said, I dont blame the kid. Why would he believe someone who wears bedroom slippers out in the snow.

DEAR ABBY: My mother keeps sending me clippings from your column about forgiving, as part of her campaign to reconcile my brother and me, so I hope she sees this.

My mother was aware that my brother had physically and verbally abused me throughout our childhood, but she wrote it off as sibling rivalry. She never knew that when I was very young and he was in his teens he raped me and continued to sexually abuse me pver several years. I could never bring myself to tell her because lik most victims, I thought she would either blame me or simply say I was lying.

I have only recently begun to deal with this childhood trauma. As a result of my rage and anger toward my brother, I cannot bear to be in the same room with him. Over the years (and its been 35 years now) he has been cold and distant toward me. I could possibly forgive him if he acknowledged his wrongdoing and showed some remorse for what he did to me. Instead, hes become a judgmental hypocrite ^who constantly quotes Scripture.

Mother is in her 70s and continues to tell me how unhappy she is that my brother and I dont love each other. How can I tell her now? Shed probably say, Why dont you just forget it it happened a long time ago.

Im tired of her nagging me to reach out to my brother. By the way, she doesnt nag him or send him ^clippings, because she thinks its all 'my fault.,

Thanks for listening.

UTTLE SISTER

DEAR SISTER: On the chance that ^ your mother doesnt see this column, tell her. Also tell her you are not going to **forget it you want to resolve the issue and put it to rest.

Then tell your brother exactly how you feel about what he did to you. You say that you are now dealing with this childhood trauma. I hope you are in therapy because thats the most effective way to deal with it. If you and your brother are to reconcile, he should have therapy, too.

The emotional wounds of your childhood will never heal unless they are thoroughly cleaned out. Express your hurt

and anger to your brother, and even if he does nothing about it, that action will make you feel better.

DEAR ABBY: Regarding the tight labor vs. loose labor market question: You blew it again. If I may quote you:

I erroneously assumed that because the terminology money is tight means money is scarce, the same held true for the labor market.

Abby, it DOES! Labor is tight means labor (workers) is scarce. Too few laborers means plenty of jobs.

JAPANESE BUSINESSMAN,, TOKYCH

DEAR BUSINESSMAN: Thanks, I needed that. The confusion lies in the term labor market, which I assumed meant ^jobs. It doesnt; it means workers. Hence a tight labor market means workers are scarce but job openings are plentiful. Now, by George, I have it.

Giovemment-run radio in Hungary reported there were injuries and that Chernobyl is located at the conjunction of two rivers near the reservoir that supplies Kiev, which has 2.4 million people. The plant has four reactors cooled by light water and uses graphite to control the nuclear reactions.

Radiation levels in Sweden, Den-

Barry Smith, a research scientist at the British Meteorological Office in London, said light winds were pushing radioactive dust back toward the Soviet Union from Scandinavia.

Telephone calls to Kiev were difficult to get through, but a woman at Kievs Lybed Hotel said: Our government is doing everything to nave no damage for our people. And as for our life, it is very normal and without any, any, any kind of strange events.

Two trains arrived in Moscow from Kiev today and passengers said they had not noticed any signs of evacuations or disruptions.

One man who spoke on condition of anonymity said there were rumors in Kiev iat a worker at the reactor had been asleep Sunday and failed to

Asked about the possibility (rf travel by fore^ reporters to the Kiev area, Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Sazonov said today, I dont |now whether its possible right now because it may be dangerous.

In Sweden, the National Institute of Radiation Protection issued a travelers advisory warning tourists planning visits to the Eastern Bloc to avoid areas between the accictent site and northern Poland.

The council afeo reviewed transportation improvement priorities for presentation at the N.C. Department Transportation public hearing in Beaufort on Wednesday.

Completion of all sections of a new U.S. 264 from Wilson to Greenville with simultaneous openings of the Farmville and Greenville Northwest Bypass and construction of a four-lane connector from future U.S. 264 to N.C. 11 south of Pitt Community College were among the 10 priorities included in the package to te presented at the meeting by Mayor Les Garner.

The board also received a resolution from Randy Doub of the N.C. Department (rf Transportation call

ing for Greenvilles support of Gov. Jim Martins Roads to the Future program.

The program, which is designed to bring new financial resources to meet North Carolinas long-term road construction needs, wodd be anchored by the implementation of savings efforts, the creation of a trust fund to provide a secure source of transportation fundings and the generation of $74.7 million in additional revenues next year with a 2.75 cent gasoline tax increase.

Writing

Students who cant think, cant write. '

Thats the scary element about a 10-year federally financed study that claims 62 percent of American 17-year-olds cant write suitably. It also tested 9- and 13-year-olds and concluded that things might not get , anybetter. ^

Those findings are frustrating in the face of increased educational emphasis on literacy. Even more startling, however, is the knowledge that writing is a reflection of thinking. Jumbled sentences mirror jumbled thoughts. Garbled, phrases mean ^uhled ideas. In light of that, the problem may be more serious than a mere lack of communication skills. It may echo "the increasing inability or willingness of an entire society to probe topics deeply.

Students are i^t thinking clearly, distinctly, deeply, logically or imaginatively. If the message theyre sending is scrambled, so is the muse that spurs their message. Maybe they arent thinking at all.

Improving writing proficiency will mean bettering thinking skills, an educational task that could pale other instruction responsibilities. Teaching thinking is a heavy duty order; there is no equation for for-: mulating ideas and no textbook to guide instruction.

There are ways, however, to stimulate and provoke thought.

For a start, elementary schools might stress informative and persuasive writing tasks and older children might be given more creative and imaginative assignments the kind that stimulate thinking.

It would be naive to think a re-evaluation of writing instruction alone could solve the problem. 'The roots for bad writing go deeper than a mere reworking of teaching skills.

But a conscious effort by the nations educators to provoke cogitation not just encourage writing skills could keep the problem from deepening.

Volunteers

The Daily Reflector is especially happy over increasing attention being given volunteers who make life in their communities more pleasant for some and more bearable for others.

Literally thousands of adults and young people are ^voluntarily serving their neighbors in Pitt County. If all our 100 counties are enjoying Pitts dedication to caring and sharing, then North Carolina is truly well served by its people.

Theres no nose-count for volunteers in our midst. Those who contribute time and efforts to specific causes and organizations may be on some rosters but not all. For some, the process of organizing their voluntary efforts can go just so far... enough to avoid duplication and confusion, but not so much as to create regimentation.

Our elders provide an example for a younger generation who in turn are role models for younger brothers and sisters who will follow in their footsteps. Its a happy arrangement. We would be immeasurably poorer without their contribution.

Contadora Effort Shows New Life

WASfflNGTON (AP) - The oft-spumed Contadme initiative fw ending the conflict in Nicaragua is showing new life, p^y throu^the efforts of jmidential envoy lilip Habib. The next five weoB may detormine whether it succeeds.

The Contadora nations bom to arrange a signing (tf a Central America p^ce agrment on June 6, with Nicaragua joining El Salvackx, Costa Rica, Honduras and Guatemala in endorsing the pact.

At a meeting in Panama earlier this month, Nicaragua refused to sign until the Reagan administration first halted aid to the Contra guerrillas fighting Nicaraguas leftist San-dinista government.

And reflecting the low regard for the Contadora peace etiort in Washington, President Reagan didnt even mention it in his nation

wide address on March 16 urging more aid for the Contras.

But Habib, Reagans new Coitral American envoy, helped revive Contadora in an April 11 letter to sevmil cong^men m which he said the administration would halt aid to the C(Hitras when the Sandinista government sigK a peace acc(tl that is true to the (riginal objectives of Contadme.

Meanwhile, Reagans request for $100 million in aid for the Contras, including $70 millimi fw military aid, is langutou in the House. He has wanted the fuiuk apixvved with a minimum of strings, but so far a House majmrity has insisted on caa-ditimis he finds unacceptable.

Several lawmakers speculate there m^t not be a vote on any Contra aid bill, with or without conditions, until after the June 6 date that Centradme

has set for signing an agreement.

that to happen thme would be no need for any ihore aid, and probably no vote, said Rep. Jim Slattery, ]>-Kan., who is promoting the Con-tadmra initiative.

Habib is currmitly on a 12-nation tour of Latin America to discuss the Contadora process, and some lawmakers on both sides oi the Contra aid issue believe be is genuinely seriong a diplmnatic solution. There is uncertainty as to whether he will succeed, as Reagan just last week mice again pledged his fiill siq^ml to the Contras.

Both the United States and Nicaragua have said they sunpmt the basic uintadora dociunmit a Sep^ber, 1983 statement (tf 21 objectives that has s^ved as the foundation fw subsequent draft treaties, including the one now {xtq^osed fmr signing.

The objectives include promo^ democracy and national recoodlia-tion, an end to military intervention and support fmr guerrilla wars, restraint on the size of the miUta^, a reduction of the number of forrign military advisers, curbs on for^ military maneuvers, and a bon against foi^ bases.

The miginal Contadora nations are Panamg, Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela. They are now backed by a of Brazil,

Ihe Sandinistas have demanded a se|;>arate non-aggressioo agreement with Washington, but the ad-mimstration has refined direct talks withMana^.

Also unclear is whether the Sandinistas would be required to hcdd another presidential election. The Nicaraguans insist their 1984 I iresidential election, in whi^ Daniel^ Ortega was elected president for a^ six-year term, was legitimate, while WasUngton says it was flawed.

The Contadora draft treaty does-not include a specific commitment to! a new election to supplant ttie 1994 balloting, althm^ it calls for tegular free elections in aU Cenro American countries.

Also unaddressed is the medfic' U.S. demand that the Sanbas' must I tras, do.

Another issue is the U.S. position: on enforcement and verification of a peace agreement, and whether it* would endorse the Contadora pro-I posal for a four-nation enforcement* commission, or insist on making ils ^ own determination of whether the! Sandinistas have lived up to the-agreement. -

Closing all these gaps in five 1 wont be easy, even with ' hearted efforts of both the States and Nicaragua. And such a commitmoit isnt yet evident ev with Habib encouraging all sides.

Full Day For The President

WASHINGTON (AP) - Theres a feUow that puts a piece of paper on my desk every day that tells me what Im going to be doing every 15 minutes, President Reagan says.

Good-naturedly making light of the power of his office, the president likes to say that this aide, not he. is the most powerful man in the world. The jest, which Reagan occa-siimally makes to visiting groups to explain why he cant stay witii them long, touches on a fundamental White House question: what does he do all day?

Some critics suggest that the president, a whiz at public speaking and an affable host, is a lightweight who is unwilling or unable to grapple

with the intricacies of government David Stockman, in a forthcoming memoir of his years as Reagans budget director, writes that the president seemed as far above the detail work of supply side (economics) as a ceremonial monarch is above politics.

In his book, TIb Triumirfi of Politics, Stockman says that in preinaugural discussions of economic policy Reagan simply listened, nodded and smiled.

Others say Ik is better organized than most think and has a better grasp than his recent preitocessors of over-all policy objectives.

R. Gordon Hoxie, president of the Center for the Study of the Presidency, for instance, compares Reagan to

The members of the tribunal looked down sternly and said, Buy a smaller car. Use it oriy for essential trips. Stop joy riding. Keep the heat in the house at 60 degrees. Replace oil heaters with coal. Cut out air conditioning. Use mass transportation as often as you can. Drive 55 miles

If I do all that will the price of oil godown?^

No. The price of oil will never go down in your lifetime or ours. All we want y(Hi to do is keep it from rising any higher.

''Why will it continue to soar? I asked one of the wise men.

Because the OPEC nations will make sure petroleum is always in shtNTt supply so they can drive up the price.

Can anyone break this stranglehold?

Not in your time, boychick, he said. Expect to pay $50 a barrel and be grateful they will sell it to you. NOW get out of here and conserve eveiycupofoilyiHican.

I md as I was instructed. I sold the big car and bought a foreign midget. I insulated the house. Instead of gas or oil I burned wood in my stoves. The kids, without any prodmng from me, sold their snowmobiles and b^n riding the bus.

'iben for no reasmi the price of oil droi^ - first by a few pennies, then by mckels and cumes, and finally by bianetro-bucks.

Tne tribunal of oil wise men called me in. I thought they were going to congratulate me for my conserva-tiwi. But they were angry.

Youve made fools of us. We predicted the price of oil would go up, but it has gone down.

I had nothing to do with it.

Hah! Your conservation methods have caused anl glut More oil is

being produced than is being sold, and there is anarchy in the marketplace.

One person cant cause an oil glut.

Not you alone, but everyone like you who cut back on consumption. Because of a lot of cheap people, oil may hit $5 a barrel.

You told me OPEC would iKver let that happen.

"They double-crossed each other by drilling more oil than they had agreed to. This forced everyone to open up toeir spigots and start a price war. The consumer is now in charge.

Anything wrong with that?

The first rule of any business is to never let the consumer be in charge.

So tell me, wise ones, how do I make the oil nations well?

Double your consumption of U^ter fluid. Buy a diesd motorboat. Give each one of your kids a Porsche. Use heating oil to barbecue your teaks. Replace your electric lights with gas ones. Take an Exxon executive to lunch. Can you do it?

President Eisenhower'and (xredicts future scholars will raise his maiks as they have Ikes.

Eisenhower is viewed now as a much more activist and in-charge president than he was at the time, says Hoxie, whose organizatiim has bren studying presidents for 30 years.

As for Reagan, Hoxie says, it is true he is not a detail inan, preferring to focus on the big picture, and be does realize the necessity to conserve his energy at the age of 75. But Hoxie adds that the president Iuk a much better miiul and a much better sense of or^nization than most people have in the past realized.

White House chief of Staff Dmiald Regan, in a recent speech, outlined the presidents schedule for one day, March 20:

Tuday. AprtI 29.1986 |ftepublican Feud Breaks Into Open Over Ads

By JOHN FLESHER

Associated Press Writer Animosity between factions of the state Republican Party has stalled into the (^n. with a group of GOP legislators wislung t cteath of the National Congres-

simial Oub in next weeks Senate mimary and the club its the victim of venom ana spite.

B legislators who support Rep. Jim

But a running

I^Kman for the Congressional Oub, which is Funderburks wmpaign, said the charges were

orchestrated by Broyills* campaign and sdtowed that was bcmnd as election day neared.

Ud by state Senate GOP leader Bill Redman, the lawm^ers said Fui^rburk and the Congressional Club had distorted Broyhills recwd in a stream of television comnyrcialg and puUic statements.

This campaign is out of hand now, and we have had enou^, Raiman said in a news conference at state Repimlican headquarters. We believe that when you have to tear sinnemie down in order to get elected, you m ^ wcHthy of the honor and trust that go with that of-

Ca^ Wrenn, executive director of the Congressional Qub, said, Its the height of hypocrisy for a bunch of

fellows to wind up and hurl a tmnch o venom and siate... and do it in ie name of clean campaigning.

Flanked by state Sens. Cass Ballenger, R-Catawba, and Daniel Simpson, R-Burke, and Rep. Coy Privette, R-Cabarrus, Redman said he had no fear that the hard-hitting Fund^burk tactics would defeat Broyhill.

Tecde in my part of the state know he (Broyhill) is not a liberal, Simpson said. Privette said the ninder-burk camp knew it was bdiind ami had resorted to desperation tactics.^

But the Republicans said the Punderbuii strategy was destructive to their party and state politics in general.

This ispolitical tei rorism at its greatest point in North Carolina,^Redman said. It will keq> a lot of good pe<^le outofpohticsifikIsnbt.QU^. ^

Redman r^sed r list of 31 other Republican lawmakers wMm he said endorsed his remarks.sHe said many of the nemaining 15 GOP legislators agr^d, but

The Funderburk camp repeatedly has charged that Broyhill is too quick to abandon conservative prindide for political expediency, citing votes be has cast on issues ranging from abortion funding to a budget supported by Democratic House Speaker Tip ONeill.

Wrem said Redman had indicated months ago that if Broyhill began to lose his lead, Redman would act as a hatchet man for the Broyhill campaign so the candidate could maintain an above-thebattle posture.

I have no doubt that the Brqyhill campaign orchestrated the legislatOTs news conference, Wrenn said.

Redman said he had wunized the news conference on his own initiative, and had not dis<

not discussed it with BroyUll. Redman added that Broyhill doesnt need a hatchet man.

In an earlier news confoence, Funderburk said a letter Redman sent him last week chastising his canqiaign practices had cast despicable aspersions on Fuader-bmrksChnstianity.

Redman said his tetter had made references to Funderburks campaigning in churches but didnl im-pum the sincoity m Funderburks beli^.

Later, Redman exchanged sharp words with David Tyson, a CkmgressicMial Gub operative and Funderburk strategist who attended the news conference and tried to get Redman to explain some of Broyhills votes. Sur-

the Broyhill endorsements were a gesture of protest against the Funderburk tactics.

The legislators carefully avoided criticizing Sen. Jesse Helms, who helped found the Congressional Gub in 1973 to raise funds to retire his campaign debt from the previous year. But Redman said he bad written Helms to urge him to restrain the club and had gotten no response.

The issue is not his (Sanfords) decency in the 1960s, Jackson said Monday in a news craiference kicking off a two-day campaign swing throng Nortii Carolina. The Senate race lor 1966 must have its own merits.

Some black leaders in North Carolina have said they were supporting Sanford for the U.S. Senate because, as governor from 1961-65, he supprarted racial tolerance, while some other Southern governors championed segregation.
