On a recent hot sum
mer night, a woman was
arrested on drunken
driving charges and
taken to the local
magistrate's office to
. have the charges process--ed.
The woman claims
that, while in the base
. ment of the county cour-i
thouse with its seventh
floor jail area, a
magistrate and a
sheriffs deputy assigned
to the jail promised to
fix" the charges for her
; if she would have sex '
with both of them,
Though this might1
' sound like the beginning
of a good piece of fic
tion, a Durham woman,
Ms. Deborah B. Sum
mey, claims it is all true.
As a result of her com
plaint, a magistrate, who
resigned recently after
these charges were level
ed against him, and a
sheriff's deputy are
awaiting charges of
soliciting to commit a
felony and accepting a
br'be.

Pendergrass. "Some of

cedes that sexual pro-1'

arrives.
And while law inforce

that no woman under ar

claim to have been there,

Black Republicans Beckon
Brothers To Party Of Lincoln
By Joseph E. Green
According to many
black Republicans
throughout the state,
more 'blacks should
climb out of the "hip

Kennedys and support
the party of Lincoln.
One long time
Republican black from
Durham said that the
Republicans have made a
"greater contribution to
Slacks than the
Democrats" and that the
latter party as consistent
ly "fooled" blacks into
supporting it.
' ' Every social program
that benefits blacks in
this country, originated
with the Republican Par
ty," said Lenzie Barnes,
a lifelong Republican
and a congressional can
didate in 1976. Barnes

According to Barnes,
former President
Franklin Roosevelt im-.
plemented the social pro
grams called the "new
deal" but he- used Presi

ideas.
"Hoover tried to get
those programs passed,
but the Democratic
controlled Congress
blocked them," said
Barnes, who served dur
ing World War II and
worked for the govern
ment for more than 30
years.

think that the
Republican Party is best
for blacks because of its
history."
The words of Barnes
and others are encourag
ing to national and local
Republican Party of
ficials who are wooing
blacks. Recently,
Richard Richards, chair
man of the National
Republican Party, told
the Urban League an
nual conference that
blacks were "welcomed
and needed" in his par
ty. Two local Republican
congressipnal can
didates, Jack Martin
Marin and Bill Cobey,
have indicated that they
are after black support
and that they intend to
' ijiicTude ' blacks on their
congressional staffs if
they are successful
against their Democratic
rivals in the fall. Cobey
has at least one paid
black staff member at
present while Marin . has
an all-white paid staff.
His press secretary told
The Carolina Times that
the staff did include
black volunteers.
Claude Allen, a recent
black graduate of the
University of North
Carolina and the press
secretary for Cobey, said
that he is a registered
Democrat, but he thinks
that the Republicans
have "more to "offer
blacks" than the :party
that currently gathers the
largest number of black
votes on election day.
"The Democratic Par
ty does not represent the
interests of blacks," said
Allen who J studied
political science and
linguistics. He said that

of the Republican Party.
Allen added that he
was disillusioned' with
the Democrats. "They
have neglected blacks,"
said Allen, who is pro
bably the highest level
paid black official 0.1
' any area congressional
candidate's staff.
Re Harris, a Fayet
teville businessman and
former member of the
Democratic Party, said
that the Republicans had
, more to offer blacks
economically. "The
Democrats give you a
fish and if you are a
good boy you may get
another," said Harris.
"The Republicans will
give you a pole, and
that's what blacks
' need."
Harris said that blacks

Tim Valentine, a white
cadidate, should "teach

and vote Republican
during the general elec

Michaux was much more
qualified than Valentine,
but lost because he is
black. He was critical of
white state Democratic
officials who refused to
endorse Michaux's can-'
- didacy.
