FAYETTEVIU^ - The General Assembly met in a commemorative session today near the spot where delegates voted 200 years ago to ratify the federal constitution, making North Carolina one of the United States.

The House and Senate convened separately under tents on downtown streets in Fayetteville, the provisional state capital in 1789. '

Dropout

Problem

By Cherie Evans

THE DAILY REFLECTOR -

Methods for keeping students in school are not new. Theyre just not often used.

Setting high expectations, motivating with creative ideas and getting students actively involved in their learning were amwig the age-old ideas discussed during a symposium Wednesday evening on students at risk for dropping out of school.

Conducted by the Pitt County schools, the syinposium brou^t in educators, medical and business professionals, clergy and parents to discuss woiting together to use and overlap those ideas to curb the dropout rate in Pitt County.

There is no such thing as cant, a minister told the group gathered in the Willis Building. You have the oi^rtunity to become the model community for this nation.

The Rev. Russell White of East Orange, N.J., described how he created the Eagle Flight & Pilot Training School to motivate childri in East Oranige to want to learn and to be productive citizens.

Participation in the program hinged on their getting good grades. White said. C means see you later.

The children in the program develop an understanding that they are in control of their lives, despite any obstacles their environment may present, he said. They not only learn to fly but they also learn to live their lives by the flying schools motto Honor, Integrity, Dignity, White said.

Since establishing the school in 1975, White said he has trained 239 pilots. Many of them are flying commercial and military airplanes.

You must have a prowam where they can get their hands on some-

police barriers as lawmakers debated several resolutions and delivered speeches about the historic occasion.

Black legislators carried through on their decision to boycott the session because it was held outside the Market House, a historic building where slaves occasionally were sold during the 1800s. The controversy drew extraordinary attention to the commemorative session, but legislators and local officials on hand said the boycott did not detract from the importance of the event.

The members are more interested in the history and culture of our city, said Sen. Joe Raynor, D-Cumbrland. I think maybe theyve gotten a different image of Fayetteville since theyve been here. (The controversy) hasnt even been discussed yet.

Rep. C.R. Edwards, D-(Tumberland, was the only black legislator to attend the session. Seventeen others participated in the boycott.

A number of white legislators also skipped the session to conduct

business elsewhere. Twenty-six House members obtained leaves of absence, said principal clerk Grace Collins.

Legislators began the day with an outdoor breakfast near the Fayetteville Arts Council building, a renovated post office several blocks from the Market House. Shortly before 10 a.m., the legislators strolled down Hay Street for the morning session.

There was speculation that lingering animosity between House Democrats might swell the ranks of the absentees.

I wonder if well even have a miorum in the House with everybody that says they wont be attending, said Rep. Dan Blue, D-Wake.

A well-placed source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said some white Democrats loyal to former Speaker Liston Ramsey might skip the session in an effort to embarrass Rep. Joe Mavretic, who deposed Ramsey in January, and his supporters. All but one of the House members from Fayetteville backed Mavretic.

House Majority Leader Dennis

Wicker, D-Lee, sharply disputed the contention

I can say absolutely that is true, Wicker said. He said he will miss the session, but only because he and other members of a Hihim subcommittee are going to TexM Thursday to discuss forming a regional hazardous waste disposal compact.

The blacks refer to the building as a slave market because slaves, occasionally were sold there in the

1800s.

Martin Proposes Cut In Food Tax

RALEIGH - The state sales tax on food would be scaled back from 3 percent to 1 percent as part of a tax package that will also increase teacher and state employee pay. Gov. Jim Martin said today.

Martin, at his weekly news conference, unveiled his proposed supplemental changes to the state budget, which reflect a 1-cent sales tax increase expected to generate $510 million annually. Martin said that after a 6 percent average pay increase for teachers and state employees, thile would be enough money left to offset the $65 million lost by reducing the food tax.

The 2 percent local sales tax would remain in effect, so the total tax on food would be 3 percent.

Martin also affirmed that the state budget office has reduced by 5 percent the money sent to all state agencies in response to lower-than-expected revenues in March.

What it does right now is to serve as a warning that everybody needs to make an extra effort to conserv... through this next quarter, Martin said.

Marvin Dorman, state budget director, said revenues declined 32 percent in March compared with the same month in 1988. He said state officials had been told that if April and May revenues are on target, there might be some relief coming.

Dorman said it was not unusual for the money being sent to state agencies to be reduced, but he said it hadnt been cut by 5j^rcent since 1982.

The feauctions mean the $1.6 biliron normally sent out has beenreduced by $72 million.

. Dorman said the reduction appeared to be primarily due to replenishing local governments for income lost with the eliminanon or me tax on manufacturers inventories. He said there was no evidence of an economic slowdown.

A Special Touch Of Magic

By Jerry Raynor

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Aerialists Ron and Mitzi Gill, a husband and wife team performing witi the Qyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus, personify the kind of entertainers that give that special touch of magic to circus people.

A strikingly handsome couple, theirs is a glamorous lifestyle - but it is also one achieved through a regimen of strict discipline.

We constantly watch our weight, Gill said. Any extra weight could very well be a hindrance to our performing.

Which means we eat only one

meal a day, Ms. Gill said, after our work day. And that is mostly different kinds of salads. Fortunately, we both love salads.

Their aerial specialty is the iron jaw act, with Gill upside down on a swilling perch bearing the weight of his wife as she sways and spins beneath him, their bodies connected to each other only by devices clamped in their mouths.

This act r^uires tremendous strength and skill in the use of jaws and teeth, Gill said. Good teeth, as you can well imagine, are really important in our act.

While the circus is on constant tour during warmer months, there is no letup in keeping in shape. We

are constantly rehearsing, to stay in top shape, Ms. Gill said. Carefully double checking our equipment is another thing we do religiously. You cant make mistakes.

Both the Gills call Florida home. Gill was born in Pennsylvania and his wife is a Baltimore native, but most of their lives have been spit in Florida.

Gill has been a performer since 1964, always as an aerialist, he said. Since Mitzi and I have teamed up, weve been performing the iron jaw act.

Ms. Gill came to the circus later than her husband. Before I mar-

Mary C. Schulken, editorial page editor for The Daily Reflector, has won the first Glenn Keever Editorial Award from the North Carolina Association of Educators.

The award is to be (Rented tonight at the Raleigh Civic Cento* in conjunction with the annual NCAE School Bell Awards.

The newly created award honors outstanding editorial journalism efforts for public education. It is named for the immediate past editor of NCAE publications, Glen Keever, who won several national awards for editorial writing. Only one award is

given statewide and the competition included papers of all circulation sizes.

The winning entry was a series of 16 editorials published in 1988 spotlighting school construction needs in Pitt County schools. Included were five editorials published during a three-week period in July and August which criticized the escalating use of trailers as classrooms despite a four-year funding effort to eliminate them.

DOT Favoring Outer Loop For 264 Wilson BypassForecast

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

WILSON The N.C. Department of Transportation seems to be leaning more toward an outer loop for the U.S. 264 bypass at Wilson, but the city and county governments and the Wilson County Chamber of Commerce are pushing an inner loop which would bring traffic closer to the heart of the city.

Were still considering all op-.f

tions, but theres a slight leaning toward Alternative A thats starting to appear, according to Lubin Prevatt, head of the DOTS rural project planning unit.

The state hi

has proposed three alternate routes for the Wilson bypass.

Alternate A - at $99.45 million -would take the bypass along an outer loop arc from west of 1-95 to the N.C. 58 intersection east of Wilson.

Alternate B at $100 million

would join U.S. 264 to the west with the eastern leg at N.C. 58 intersection on an inner loop route which would run through a portion of the city limits.

Alternate C, which would cost an estimated $111.1 million would join the two freeway sections of the new U.S. 264 by following the present highway over 1-95 and on to Airport Road, then turn south on a new locatiim and joirf the Alternate B route at the N.C. 42 intersection.

Prior to the public meeting in

March, the city, county, chamber and other groups had supported a fourth alternative, which would follow the Altei'nate B route, but add an uncontrolled connector from the N.C. 42 intersection to join the present uncontrolled section of U.S. 264 at Airport Road. That proposal suggested by Wilson county officials to be built in two phases would cost an estimated $110.15 million, according to the DOT.

However, since the mid-March public hearing, the city and county

governments have adopted resolutions calling for the Alternate B route to be built as a single phase project.

And the Chamber of Commerce board withdrew its support Wednes-^y afternoon for a two-{diase project and adopted a resolution calling for Alternate B to be built as a single project.

Bruce Beasley, president of the chamber, said Weonesday that the

Larceny Charges

Julius Anthony Kennedy, 27, of 605-A Pamlico Ave. was arrested by Greenville police Wednesday on four counts of larceny and one count of possession of stolen property.

, Detective T.E. Nevelle said the possession charge stemmed from a March 1 theft of a television set from 605-A Pamlico Ave.

The larceny charges are in connection with the thefts of a video cassette recorder, a television set, a stereo and an electronic keyboard from 605-A Pamlico Ave. reported on March 20.

Eight Schools Undergo Evaluations

By Cherie Evans

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Eight elementary schools in Pitt County are being evaluated today for accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

Eastern, Elmhurst, Greenville Middle, Sadie Saulter, South Greenville, Third Street and Wahl-Coates schools are seeking reaccreditation by SACS, while Wintergreen, a new school, is seeking its initial accreditation. t

A 50-member team of educators from across the state began visiting the schools Wednesday after it was welcomed to the county and the school system during a brunch at the Comfort Inn.

Dr. Eddie West, superintendent, told the group that the doors of the schools are open and the team will find a strong faculty and some wonderful instruction in Pitt County-

Donald Lassiter, superintendent of the Elkin City schools and chairman of the visiting team, commended the schools on their efforts toward accreditation. T compliment you on the work you have clone in preparation, he said.

Accreditation brings about school improvement because the schools critically evaluate themselves and record the information in their self studies.

The studies, developed by the schools, outline the school and its community, philosophy, objectives and commitments, design for learning the curriculum, areas of learning and subject areas, adihinistra-tion, staff and faculty qualifications, media center, student services and activities, facilities, plans and priorities.

Our job is to evaluate the self study - to see if what you say about yourselves is true, Lassiter said.

Also, the team makes recommen-

dations and suggestions for further improvement, he said.

Ruth Hoyle, a retired assistant superintendent in the Craven County schools, consulted with the schools in preparing their self studies.

She said, It always is a pleasure to come to this area. They always do a wonderful job.

Ms. Hoyle told team members that they will see a lot of good ideas and techniques in the Pitt schools that theyll want to take to their own school districts.

They truly believe in good education for children, she said.

The schools are accredited by

SACS every 10 years, said Barry Gaskins, director of public information for the Pitt system. The schools in the county are on different schedules for accreditation so that all of the schools are not accredited during the same year.

This year, Wintergreen is undergoing its first accreditation process, and Principal Clarence Gray said the school is ready for the test.

Weve been real busy trying to prepare, he said. Dr. Sandra Houston, the schools assistant principal, steered the schools accredita

tion committee, he said.

Charles Ross, associate superintendent of instruction, recognized Sue Branch and Annie Fields for their coordination of the accreditation process for the school system. Ms. Braimh is the language arts and social studies coordinator for the system, and Ms. Fields is a secretary for central office coordinators.

The brunch was attended by members of the Board,of Education, Pitt County Board of Commissioners, Greenville City Council and Greenville Mayor Ed Carter.

Truth In Preference To Fiction

Right Time

Adjustment A Tool For Better Growth

Its time for a growing town like Farmville to move forward and embrace a council-manager form of government. That painless adjustment would enable the community to better balance the expansion headed in Farmvilles direction.

Town residents will vote on the issue in June, and proponents should use the time until that referendum to let the public know the benefits of a council-manager form of government.

There are several important reasons why a change in government will help Farmville grow more productively.

Currently, the town operates with a mayor-council form of government. That system concentrates more direct power with commissioners. While this setup is suitable for very small villages, there are sharp drawbacks to its use in a more urban setting.

First, as a community expands, the demands placed on its leadership increase concurrently. Most often, being a mayor or a council member is an after-hours job performed by caring citizens willing to give their time in return for only token compensation. That devotion represents the heart and soul of grassroots government. But it doesnt always get the job done.

When that stage in a towns growth is reached, a full-time administrator is required to sufficiently serve the community. With growth comes an urgent need for long-range planning, protection of resources, utilization of assets. While many elected public officials have skills in these areas, they lack the perspective that translates this expertise into progress. They also fall short on time and thats a resource a city manager could provide: time devoted to forge the towns future.

Farmville has reached the stage in its development where the time and expertise of a professional administrator is necessary if growth is to be effectively managed. The town has a population of around 6,000. It has a distinguished industrial base, vigorous retail activity and bustles with residential growth. It is adjacent to Pitt Countys most important thoroughfare U.S. 264 west, which connects the county with Raleigh. In addition, it sits smack in the path of Greenvilles growth westward from the medical district the U.S. 264 corridor will harbor prosperous development, and that growth will likely benefit Farmville.

Under a council-manager form of government, commissioners have policy-making power as well as a professional charged with implementing this policy. Thats the best of both worlds, and its what Farmville needs to secure its future.

Tarmville has reached the stage in its development where the time and expertise of a professional administrator is necessary if growth is to be effectively managed. Closed DoorsDo Community Hospitals Have Niche?

Robersonvilles 12-bed hospital knows that it is wanted and needed by its community ... and it is a source of pride for the citizens of the Martin County community. Nevertheless the little hospital has found that it cannot operate without adequate funding. Thus officials decided to close it down last Friday until conditions improve.

Debts were piling up for the Robersonville hospital and board members decided that it couldnt continue to operate under the conditions.

The closing is seen as temporary, however, and officials hope that federal or state grants will make it possible for the rural hospital to recall its staff be resume its mission. The hospital can retain its license for some time, but it must pay off indebtedness and carry out some capital improvements in order to reopen.

Without doubt the citizens of the area will welcome a reopening. Though Robersonville is a small town it has a good amount of industry and serves a rich agricultural area.

There are two doctors in town who served on the hospital staff.

Everyone is hopeful that the Robersonville Hospital can reopen. There must be a place in the vast health care delivery system for the small hospital which can provide a level of care so that people wont have to leave their area for normal medical services.

To the editor:

There has been evidence for years that alcdwlism is in part, if not in whole, a form of food addiction. According to Dr. Theron Randolf, father of clinical ecoli^y, it appears that food substances rather than alcohol per se perpetuate the craving for alcoholic beverages and cause the behavioral changes we associate with alcoholism. Perhaps if the captain of the Valdez had been in a rehabilitation program that enlightened clients as to the food allergy background of their addiction, the worst oil spill in American history would not rest on his shoulders. It may well be that it is not Demon Rum but Demon Sugar (and/or com, wheat, barley, grape, etc.) that caused the grief.

The term food addictira did not come into use until 1952 and we are not generallv taught about its implications. Perhaps this is because foods, especially the common ones, form the basis of very powerful interinvolved financial interests. To indict com, wheat, milk, eggs, beet and cane sugar as the possible sources of ill health will not make the headlines. Have you seen the latest TV advertisements for sugar? .

Dr. Randolf was ostracized for his investigations and his information suppressed. He survived the storm and went on to discover that ct^mical sensitivities also can cause chronic ill health and disease.

In the long run, health issues are national issues. In the long run, environmental (security) issues are national security issues. It is easy to place blame. How can we better understand and what are the implications we must conclude? And where do we as concerned citizens go from here as custodians of this beautiful God-given planet?

Fourteen years ago I retired from the military and became a citizen of this, my proudly adopted state. I have, during that time, been a productive, contributing citizen, trying very hard to supptHi the state in which I have chosen to live. I have strongly supported those functions which make my state a better place in which to live, siwh as the United Way, UNC Public Television, the NC Zoo, the Childrens Hospital of Eastern NC, the NC political party of my choice, the NC Sheriffs Association, and of course I have paid my taxes.

The Supreme Court of the United States recently ruled that the State of North Carolina has been taxing me unconstitutionally during this entire time. I can certainly understand a ruling that there be a limit in how far back one can recover taxes, regardless of how ill-gotten, and the three-year limit seems fair.

I now read that the state is telling us federal retirees that due to a 1977 ruling no refund is necessary on unconstitutional taxes paid voluntarily, and appear to be preparing to deny a rayback. I cannot see how anything can be considered voluntary when I am uu^tened with a fine or imprisonment if I do not comply. I suggest our legislators review the definition of voluntary.

If this decision is upheld and no payback is forthcoming, I fully intend to respond in kind. There will be no more gei^rous contributions to the United Way, UNC Public Television, the NC Zoo, the Childrens Hospital of Eastern NC, the NC political party of my choice, the NC Sheriffs Association, and I will add a statement to my North Carolina taxes that they are paid under protest.

Having fought off (temporarily, at least) radiation and hazardous waste dumps over our water source, people of Pitt County and their neighbors will understand the anger and outrage of Idahoans. They are treated with a reprocessing plant for deadly plutonium over their major aquifer. In threatening their water and air, the proposed plant threatens their family and tourism industries, their homes, and even their lives.

What for? Reagans Secretary of Energy admitted that we are awash in plut^um. Plutonium from the Cruise and Pershing missiles is becoming available for reuse. And unlike tritium, plutmiium is forever (half-life about 25,000 years).

Theres also the disadvantage of plutonium-contaminated waste more than a ton a day. Where will it go?

And theres a husky price tag - estimate $1.9 billion and $1.2 billion to operate for 30 years.

If you think this Special Isotope Separation Facility (SIS) should take its place in line for funding bdiind educatiim, highways, crime fighting, sewage disposal, debt reduction ..., call our representative in Congress, or drq[) them a card.

Tax Faculties Instead Of Income

WASHINGTON - What a difference a word can make. The middle of April - tax time might be less lacerating if we used a delightful anachronism and sp^e of having our faculties assessed rather than our incomes taxed.

Taxing incomes was orianally spoken of in America as taxing individuals earning faculties, as in the new Plymouth Colonys taxation on persons according to tteir estates or faculties. It would flatter Americans to be told they are paying because, and to the extent that, thiir faculties are sutetantial. And saying so would teach a moral truth:

George

Will

*The strong wealthy, high achieving, socially competent individuals contribute much to society because they have benefited much from society. So they should pay a lot of the upkeep of the civilization that confers as well as rewards their faculties. But that notion may itself be an anachronism in a nation that seems to believe that taxation, with or without representaton, is tyranny.

Generally people prosper, and pay more taxes, because of reasons for which tfiey can not claim responsibility.

Our faculties are bestowed by our parents, through DNA and nurturing, and by society, through schooling and the culture. >rry, you who are Mrticularly vain about your rugged individualism. Life would really be rugged if social reality reflected your self-congratulatory ideol(^ of lonely, unassisted accomplishment. But it does not.

The principle on which progressive taxation rests is that those who make the most money get the most from society not merely in terms of money but also in faculties, and thus owe a proportionately larger debt. As Turgot, finance minister of the much maligned I^is XVI, told him: The expenses of government having for their object the interest of all, should be borne by everyone, and the more a man enjoys the advantages of society, the more he ought to hold himself honored in contributing to those expenses.

In the United States, the income tax was not, needless to say, enacted out of a sense of honor. It was passed by a political movement confident that its members would not pay it. In fact, it was a tax to cut taxes (counting tariffs as taxes).

After the Civil War, regional and class interests (the manufacturing North and the affluent commercial class) convergeid to produce reliance on tariffs for the lions share of federal revenues. The income tax was advocated as a painless (for 99 percent of the population) way of paying for lower tariffs that also would reduce the cost of the common mans consumption. And so it was, briefly.

The income tax enacted in 1913 taxed personal income at one percent and exempted married couples eami^ less than $4,001. A graduated surtax, beginning on incomes of $20,000, rose to 6 percent on incomes of more than $500,000. The $4,000 exempriUon expr^ied Congress conclusion that such a sum was necessary to maintain an American family according to the American standard and send the children through college. It was about six times the average males income.

But as quickly as Americans could say Sarajevo, war caused government expenditures to soar and international trade (and tariff revenues) to shrink. By 1919, the minimum taxable income had been reduced to $1,000 and the top rate was 77 percent.

Nevertheless, at tax time in 1939, only 3.9 million ^ericans had to file. Six years later, 42.6 million did. War turned the class tax into a mass tax. The Cold War and, even more important, the welfare state would keep it that way.

Shortly after the income tax was enacted. Sen. Elihu I^t told a friend that they both might go to Mil for failing to master tne tax form, but jail would be an intellectual center, for no one understands the Income Tax law except persons who have not suificient intelligence to understand the questions that anse under it.

Complwity increased and the principle of progr^ivity was largely vitiated by the prac-tice of writing arcane loopholes into the law. By the mid-1960s a senator complained: The first nine {Mges of the Internal Revenue Code a^me income; the remaining l,ioo pages spin

the web of exemptions and preferencS.

P**"*aDly for two reasons. Wnnklw in the code were Congress way of legislating social policy without ap-propnating public funds. And the idelogy of

The Daily Reflector, Greenville, N.C.A Quick Start Vs. 102,000 Jobs & Free Enterprise

Thursday. April 13,1989 /^-5

PaulOConnor

RALEIGH Among the 170 members of the North Carolina General Assembly, there are gradations of support for a free enterprise climate. While some legislators would prefer that business be almost completely unfettered, other prefer to apply varying degrees of government regulation on business.

But even among the strongest advocates of a free and unregulated business world, there must be confusion these days, a furniture bill that is before both the House and Senate

pits manufactures against retailers with both sides arguing that Uiey represent the free market approach.

The bill is sponsored by the retailers. It would prevent manufacturers from restricting their advertising and selling territory. Retailers say that manufacturers otetruct their free operation when they prohibit out of town advertising and taking of telephone orders. Manufacturers say they should be free to market their products however they wish.

Manufacturers can now set conditions upon the retailers who sell their furniture: For example the amount of showroom space a particular line is given, limited adver-

Analysis

tising areas, no sales or price quotes over the phone, no toll-free phone numbers. Retailers who fail to abide by these conditions can lose the privilege of selling a manufacturers line.

Fredrick Starr, president of Thomasville Furniture, said such restrictions protect the consumer. Starr said that the consumer should visit a showroom, see and feel the product that is to be purchased and

learn about the service that is available for that product after purchase. These conditions assure the manufacturer, Starr said, that their customer will be well served.

But retailers say the restrictions merely undermine discounts, of which there are many in North Carolina. They say that the restriction on telephone sales, for example, means that a consumer from out of town who visits a showroom and

Impeachment Was On The AgendaWalter Mears

WASHINGTON - In the bland, bureaucratic shorthand pf the government memorandum, it sounds routine. Just another White House meeting. And by the way, the president of the United States chatted with his senior advisers about risking impeachment.

That may sound like Richard M. Nixon and the Watergate White House, but it wasnt. It was Ronald

Reagan in 1984, on his way to a 49-state re-election landslide. The ques

tion was whether the administration

should be secretly soliciting aid for the Nicaraguan Contras from other countries after Congress barred U.S. aid.

The story has been spread on the court record at the Iran-Contra trial of Oliver North, with the government attesting to its accuracy. There is no evidence in that record that any of the senior officials on hand found it remarkable that a top aide to the president had told him he might be flirting with impeachment.

It does not seem to have alarmed the Reagan high command. It certainly didnt get in the way of the search for aid.

Since impeachment is the ultimate political punishment, the word would seem to be one that would get any presidents attention. Nixon resigned rather than face an impeachment trial in the Senate.

This is not to suggest that Reagan policy on aid to the Contras bears comparison with the Watergate and cover-up scandals that drove Nixon from office.

But it is striking that the risk of

committing an impeachable offense was cited by one of the official fami

ly, at a meeting attended by at least 10 other top administration officials including George Bush and the matter apparently was treated as ordinary business.

Bush, then vice president, is quoted in minutes of the meeting as

having observed that the outside aid would be a problem only if the United States were to promise third countries something in exchange for their assistance to the Contras.

Less than a year later, Bush told the president of Honduras that U.S. aid to that country was being expedited. The court document says the speeded-up aid was in exchange for Honduras continuing support of the Contras, but is silent on whether Bush made that point in his meeting with the foreign leader.

President Bush has refused to discuss those disclosures, saying any comment from him would interfere with the North trial.

It was James A. Baker III, then the White House chief of staff, later Reagans secretary of the treasury, now Bushs secretary of state, who raised the specter of impeachment.

Bakers concern seems to have raised no alarm at the meeting on June 25, 1984, no suggestion that even coming close to,impeachable conduct might not be a very good idea. The consensus was that Baker

was wrong.

So they decided to get a second legal opinion.

According to the governments admission of facts at the North trial. Director of Central Intelligence William Casey told deputies at the CIA and the State Department in mid-July it was time to get moving on Contra aid from other countries since Attorney General (William French) Smith had recently concluded that raising the funds in this manner would not be an impeachable offense, as had been suggested at the National Security Planning Group meeting on June 25,1984.

Minutes of the June 25 meeting were read into the North trial record on March 10, when former national security adviser Robert MacFarlane

testified that Bakers warning had been discussed and disputed, and that most of those present disagreed with it.

Whatever the merits of Bakers legal advice, the minutes indicate that Reagan recognized the political peril of promoting aid to the Contras by other governments in the face of the concessional ban on U.S. military aid. He was quoted as saying that if word of the effort got out, Well all be hanging by our thumbs in front of the White House.

All of that happened during the

Rose Garden phase of Reagans campaign for a second term. The public record of Reagans day that June 25 shows a meeting with members of his staff, a meeting with members of his campaign advisory committee and two \^^ite House speeches.

At one of them, on the South Lawn, the president complained about critics of his economic policies. Every time I hear them, he said, I remember Robert Frost saying, The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get

up in the morning and doesnt stop until you get to the office.

likes a piece of furniture cannot call back, after having gone home to think it over, and order that item. The person would have to come back, after having gone home to think it over, and order that item. The person would have to come back to the showroom. It also means that retailers cannot advertise in other cities in hopes of luring business into their showrooms, or set up toll-free lines for those who wish to compare prices before making the trip to a distant retailer.

In addition to the free enterprise issue, both sides are claiming to have the best interests of the consumer in their hearts. Starr said the manufacturers have these rules to protet the consumers. Hubie Tolson of New Bern, a retailer, said that unrestricted competition. Consumers might check out furniture in retail outlets around the country, using the investments that retailers in

other states make in showroom space and staff, and then call into a discounter. Its possible that such a discounter industry would grow up here in North Carolina. That p^si-bility might explain why a national retailers group stands with the manufacturers on this bill.

Retailers are out to a quick start on this bill with many legislators already promising to support it. But furniture manufacturers provide 102,000 jobs in this state. That fact will weight heavily on the minds of any legislator trying to decide how to define the term, free enterprise. Sam's TROPHY Shop

SICU Graduate Goes To Bat For UNC-CH, NCSU Athletes

By John Flesher

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

^^^ALEIGH Politics may make JMwge bedfeUows, but none strang- man the alliance of the University g North Carolina at CHapel Hill, JJwth Carolina State and East Carolina.

The three schools, bitter rivals in W athletic arena, were on the same we Wednesday when a proposal to m^te a state appropriation that frays tuition costs for student-athletes at the ttnc-TH anri Mr

State came before the House Appropriations Committee.

Rep. David Redwine, D-Brunswick, a graduate of East Carolina University, said that while the proposed cut would have applied only to UNC-CH and N.C. State, it would set a precedent that could affect other state schools.

I have a real concern that once you do these two, the sharks are going to circle on the rest of the institution, he said.

The publicity that these teams bring to this state is incalculable.

Its tremendous that we have as good teams as we have, said Rep. Gordon Greenwood, D-Buncombe.

The panel rejected the proposal on a divided voice vote and also turned back efforts to raise tuition for some out-of-state graduate students and to eliminate 288 vacant positions in the UNC system.

Rep. Peggy Wilson, R-Rock-ingham, offered a motion to reduce by $297,494 the state contribution to the fund that pays tuition for athletes in the 16-campus UNC system. The cut would have applied only to UNC-CH and N.C. State.,

In 1985-86, the two campuses generated $18.7 million between them in receipts from athletic events, Ms. Wilson said. The schools athletic booster clubs, which pay most of the c(t of athletic scho arships, easily could absorb the loss of state funding, she said.

Were trying to make cuts here, and were trying to make cuts in the areas where we least think it will affect them,she said.

The reduction would not affect other UNC campuses because their athletic programs dont take in near-

iSchools Of Choice Bills Let Parents Decide

. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH Just as their (frUdren get to choose the classes OlBy want to take, two-Republican limnakers' believe parents should be'allowed to decide where their kids go to school.

^Reps. Steve Woods, R-Guilford, Md Art Pope, R-Wake, introduced a *'lchools of choice bill that would let parents pick the schools their fAUdren attend within a district or in mother district if the two systems bgreed to swap students.

^ Woods and Pope dont think the "will pass now, Init they want the to gain momentum for next

years short session.

We wanted to introduce now so we could begin discussing it, maybe get it through the House of Representatives and into a study commission, Pope said. We are hoping to get it through the short session next summer so it can be in place for the 1990-91 school year..

Under the proposal, schools that lose students to more attractive neighbors would have to implement innovative techniques to lure other students to their classrooms.

If an empty school has such a poor administration that no parents want to send their kids there, then you need to bring in a new manage

ment team to compete for those students, Pope said.

He said the schools of choice concept has been tried in 30 other states, but has not led to re-segrega-tion, as some opponents of the program fear.

There are no attendance districts for the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, or UNC-Wilmington or Appalachian State, said Woods. We think it is time to bring that concept to the secondary and elementary school level.

The bill would allow local school boards to choose schools of choice for the 1990-91 school year.

Pope said he was not worried that

poor, rural systems would be at a disadvantage in competing with nearby urban systems that have a larger tax base.

The money follows the students, Pope said. If a system is losing students, then it needs to offer a pi^am that will attract students.

The bill does not change the state funding formula, which is based on average daily attendance in each school system. Nor does it provide for possible increased transportation costs.

Pope said changes in the bus routes would have to be worked out within the system, or negotiated between districts where inter-district transfers are permitted.

ly as much money as those at the systems two flagship institutions, Ms. Wilson said.

The states contribution to the athletic tuition fund gives the government some leverage over how the money is used, said Rep. Bruce Ethridge, D-Onslow. But Jay Robinson, UNC vice president for public affairs, acknowledged that the Legislature is free to order audits of any section of the UNC system it wishes.

'The out-of-state tuition cost for UNC undergraduates is $4,558, which the state contribution reduces to $3,508, Robinson said.

After the amendment was defeated, Ms. Wilson offered another that would have saved $220,000 per year with a 25 percent tuition increase for special graduate students from other states. Special graduate students are top-notch teachers and researchers who are in demand across the country, according to Rep. Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe.

We are trying to attract the very best graduate students, Ethridge said. Hopefully if we can attract them, we can hold them here.

The amendment failed on a voice vote.

Rep. Trip Sizemore, R-Guilford, offered the amendment to abolish the 288 vacant UNC jobs, which he termed non-essential positions such as maintenance workers. Sizemore is ringleader of a group of Republican conservatives who have proposed deep budget cuts to allow the state to embark on a major highway construction program and boost teacher salaries without raising taxes.

Some of the positions have been vacant since January 1988, Sizemore said, noting that his proposal was a scaled-down version of Gov. Jim Martins recommendation to pare 633 vacant UNC jobs.

But Nesbitt said the reduction of so many posts was a meat ax approach and was unnecessary.

The amendment was killed, 36-21.

panel Backs Bill Requiring Use pf Headlights In Bad Weather

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

' RALEIGH Poor visibility in inclement weather is a leading cause jof- traffic accidents in North Carolina, and a House subcommittee im taken action on a bill it hopes will reduce the numbers. j3nder the measure, motorists fDuld be reauired to turn on their ^dlights whenever the weather is had enough to require use of wind-Bhield wipers. The bill has the backing of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Law Enf(N*cement and Public Safety, now goes to the full Judiciary Cmnmittee.

* The subcommittee amended the hp to reduce the proposed fne for ATiolations from $25 to $5. Violations a^d be an infraction, not a crime, 'iUSd would iH)t add insurance points Jna drivers record.

'ft'*The action is not to be punitive, hirt it is to be persuasive ot educa-Qonal, said Rep. Jidin Weatherly, R-Geveland. Cuirent law requires ^t headlights be illuminated when iT vehicles windshield wipers are ating but only when the vehi-1 is in a school zone.

^The requirement should apply everywhere because of the difficulty of itiotting other vehicles during in-oement weather, Weatherly said.

" The 428,000-member Carolina Motor Club also supports the bill, hlic relations dilator Quentin I said. He said the proposed

law would reduce that problem of seeing another car, particularly when cars are passing each other on two-lane roads and when a vehicle begins to hydroplane, he said.

Tests have shown that requiring headlight use in poor weather reduces accidents by 7 to 20 percent, Anderson said. Canada has required

that, starting in July, vehicle headlights be illuminate during dayli^it hours.

Last year, we had 1,574 people killed and another 117,358 injured on our highways in North Carolina, he said. Many of these accidents would not have happened had drivers been using their headlights during bad weather.

Homicide

GOLDSBORO, N.C. (AP) - A state medical examiner has ruled that a man who died in February while in the custody of Goldsboro police officers was a homicide victim.

Dr. Deborah Radisch, associate chief medical examiner in Chapel Hill, said Wednesday that she determined after an autopsy that James E. Swan died of anoxia, or lack of oxygen, from neck compression. She said she ruled the manner of death as a homicide but emphasized that designation does not mean that charges are warrantcxl.

Certainly ^t doesnt necessarily have anything to do with charges that could be filed, she said. Were not saying that you have to charge somebody with murder. Thats obviously up to somebody else.

Two Goldsboro police officers involved in the Feb. 1 incident have been shifted to administrative duties pending the outcome of a State Bureau of Investigation probe and a review by the district attorney. Some black residents have said that the officers, who are white, used excessive force to subdue Swan, who was black.

Resignation

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) - Jane E. Milley, the embattled chancellor of the N.C. School of the Arts, will offer her resignation today, sources have told a Winston-Salem newspaper.

C.D. Spangler Jr., the president of the University of North Carolina system, was to attend a special

meeting of the schools trustees today and the UNC Board of Governors will meet in the afternoon, the Winston-Salem Journal report^ in todays editions.

The newspaper quotes sources as saying Ms. Milley had submitted a letter of resignation to Spangler, and he would inake the announcement after the Board of Governors meeting.

Health Care

RALEIGH (AP) - The cost of health care in the state increased 17.3 percent in the year ending Sept. 30, according to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.

The increase reflects the combined effect (rf higher prices for health care and greater use of health-care services, according to the insurer.

The figures were released Wednesday by Blue Cross and Blue Shield as part of a health-care cost index that it said represents the bottom-line impact on what consumers are experiencing.

Pollution Controls Proposed On Rivers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH (AP) - State environmental officials have proposed specific guideline for protecting outstanding resource waters along the coast and measures for limiting nutrient pollution in the Tar-Pamlico river basin.

The proposals made Wednesday show, in part, how the state intends to curb pollution from sewage and development in 10 coastal areas nominated as outstanding resource waters, or ORWs. The Coastal Resources Commission also is considering ways to protect the pristine waters by limiting developmrat.

There would be stricter limits and, in some cases, outright bans on marinas and new sewage treatment plants under the measures recommended by the state Division of Environmental Management.

The Environmental Management Commission can desiste outstanding resource waters in areas with exceptional water quality and other valuable resources, such as hi^y productive fisheries, scientific importance and heavy recreational use. The commission plans to hold public hearing on the propels in June and make a final decision by September.

Some of the guidelines proposed

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Barbara Bush says she feels fine after a radioactive thyroid treatment and will continue life as usual except that she cant hold her grandchildren or puppies in her lap or kiss anyone for 72 hours.

Looking fit after a reception with the Queen of Sweden, Mrs. Bush told reporters Wednesday, I feel wonderful.

That morning the first lady underwent a common procedure for her recently diagnosed Graves disease. She drank a radioactive iodine solution to deactivate her thyroid gland, which was producing excess levels of hormones.

Talking to a handful of reporters after standing in a half-hour receiving line and speaking at the reception, she complained that news coverage of her health was overshadowing the issues she wanted to focus on, such as Queens Silvias work on behalf of the disabled.

Will you stop it? she implored the reporters.

She jokingly pretended to be infirm, staggering up to the reporters and leaning on the arm of her press secretary. Then she told the group, I could Indian wrestle any one of you to the ground.

She said she swam a mile Thursday and Monday and played tennis on Wednesday, and hoped to keep exercising to keep off the 21 pounds that the disease had caused her to lose.

In reference to the weight loss, she said, I like half of my disease. In fact I love half of it.

She said she had wanted to wear an eye patch or arrive in a wheelchair just to tweak the press, but her press secretary nixed the prank.

During a two-hour visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Mrs. Bush sipped the radioactive solution through a straw, and said it tasted like water.

She also had her eyes examined and they were found to have no damage from the disease, which had caused some eye irritation, she said.

Her condition can cause the eyes to keep opening and water, so it looks weird, Mrs. Bush said.

She anticipates no aftereffects from the radiation treatment, except an eventual slight neck pain, she said. The doctors also told her not to hold her dogs new puppies or her 11 grandchildren for 72 hours, because their thyroids are small and more susceptible to any effects of radiation.

Mrs. Bush said doctors led her to believe that was just a precaution and may have been almost an old wives tale.

SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS.

A three-screen, nine-projector, dramatic presentation punctuated with music, that brings to iight today's issues of sex, iove and scif image.

Wright Probe Finds Probable Violations

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Dealing a serious and possibly fatal blow to Jim Wrights speakership, the House ethics committee has concluded that he improperly accepted gifts from a business partner and tried to evade outside income limits through book sales.

Tlie last of the decisions were reached Wednesday on strong bipartisan votes, according to sources familiar with the panels probe. The votes mean the panel has found

reason to believe the Texas Democrat violated a series of House rules, and they point toward a new phase of the case which could involve a disciplinary hearing and possible punishment.

Wright continued to maintain he had not knowingly or intentionaUy broken the rules and was expected to mount a vigorous defense. His spokesman, Mark Johnson, said late Wednesday that the speaker had not been informed of any decision by the panel. All options are open in

Vagrant Charged In Fatal Fire

ctefending against the charges, he said.

The action essentially complet^ the committees 10-month, $1.5 million investigation of Wrights finances. The panel was meeting again today to work on the specific wording of its report detailing the basis for the charges against the speaker, one source said.

The panel has met behind closed doors and under tight secrecy for three weeks to deliberate the recommendations of its special outside counsel, Chicago attorney Richard Phelan.

In the final days of that process.

committee members narrowed their focus to the two most serious issues before them; the acceptance of gifts from a person with an interest in legislation and the evasion of outside income limits.

On Wednesday, the committee voted that benefits received from Fort Worth developer George Mallick from 1980 through 1984, valued at more than $100,000, amounted to unreported gifts that were improper because Mallick, an investor in real estate and oil and gas ventures, had a greater interest in congressional l^islation than an ordinary citizen, said one source.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PEORIA, 111. - A vagrant forced out of an apartment house hours before it was set on fire has been charged with nine arson deaths, and authorities say he should have been in jaU for another case but ignored a judges order.

Joe Pickens, 34, never reported to the Peoria County Jail on March 31 to serve a 3flklay sentence for a misdemeanor, court records show.

No arrest warrant was issued, and now Pickens faces more serious crimes: nine counts of first-degree murder and two counts of ag-' gravated arson in the worst fire in

the history of this central Illinois city-

I dont fault the sheriff or the jail, States Attorney Kevin Lyons said Wednesday.

The missed jail date was included on the jails list of violations to be brought to Lyons attention an action the jail takes about every two weeks, the prosecutor said.

Pickens, a native of York, Ala., was charged with the deaths Wednesday, one day after a fire set in a vacant first-floor apartment spread and killed seven children and two young mothers on the second floor.

Pickens confessed to setting the fire after saying it started accidentally, according to Police Superintendent Allen Andrews.
