This should ; not be the role of the district attorney." Stephens added that bet ween 1976 and 1979, the DA's office handled ' twice the number of ' cases currently being handled and with half the staff. i Edwards countered ' this by saying that he has conducted numerous in vestigations of many areas of community con cern. He said they in- ment and various other officials. "These in vestigations," he added, "were organized, in vestigated and pro secuted by me." ' "It has Varied," he says "from time to .time, depending ; upon on whether or not it's an election year." Meanwhile, Stephens implied that Edwards is soft' on those charged with driving under the influence because he was convicted of the same charge in 1980. "The conviction rate in Durham County," Stephens noted, "is below the statewide average. On the other hand, the rate of reduc tion to lesser charges, such as careless and reckless driving is above the J state average."

One reason that Bowe did not fare well was the absence of the Durham Committee's endorse ' ment, lost to Allen,; that he received in 1978. That backing fell through Sunday when it was noted at the commit tee's meeting ; on en dorsements that Bowe's entire staff at NCCU is white and the chances of blacks joining the staff were slim and almost none. Surprising . to many political observers, Leary ran strong in county precincts, thought to be Allen strongholds such as Bethesda Ruritan Club and Neal Junior High. Allen, as he did in 1978, fared well with middle to upper income voters such as in Hope Valley and Jordan High precincts. But unlike hjs first election, Allen also took black precincts such as Hillside and Burton schools. ' Had Leary not run such a strong campaign, Allen, with the general all-around support of the community, probably police officer, charged that Allen didn't assign enough patrolmen r to help reduce the crime rate. : Allen, who has been with the Sheriffs depart ment since 1958, at first seemed unshaken by his challengers' criticisms, but his concerns grew as election day drew closer. He then pointed to departments he had created during his term as sheriff that were designed to free more deputies to patrol . the county. Also, Allen said, he created a Civil Divi sion whose function is ' only to serve civil papers. Before the creation of the civil unit, Allen said, the patrol division was responsible for serving civil papers, warrants and other legal documents as well as patrolling the county. All along, Allen main tained that the things the challengers proposed to do are things already in place and added that Bowe and Leary were not familiar with the workings of the sheriff's department. in Colorado springs, Colo. provides' sophisticated training for athletes as they prepare for international event?.

With such a strong showing from black voters, particularly the lock-step support of Durham Committee en dorsements raises the question of accountabili ty.
