President Reagan campaigned in
North Carolina Tuesday to boost GOP
congressional candidates and to answer
his Democratic critics whom he accused
of trying to "subvert" economic re
covery.
"The real truth is our critics are
playing with the people's fears, trying to
scare them into believing that things will
get worse so their own political futures
will get better," Reagan told a crowd of
more than 3,000 in the Raleigh Civic
Center.
"It's time that others stopped trying to
scare the people and subvert recovery," ;
Reagan said.
In a visit timed one week before the
general election, Reagan spent 2Vi hours
in Raleigh at a public rally and private
events staged at the Civic Center. He
arrived at Raleigh-Durham Airport at
noon and departed at 2:30 p.m.
William Cobey, 4th District challenger
to Ike Andrews, die incumbent, seemed
to garner much of the attention. Foliticos
gave him the best shot at winning.
But none of the other candidates
seemed to mind too much. AU seemed to
think that Reagans' visit would help
them.

chairman, seemed to think that Reagan's 'i
visit would enhance the effort of Ed 1
