of Operation PUSH in Chicago, is in an eight-man
Democratic battle for the nation's highest office.
The 24-member committee, representing an estimated
400,000 black Baptists across the state, was unable to

organization will "lead a national effort to 'defund' th<
U.S. Civil Rights Commission."
"We will not stand by and allow the spending o
millions of dollars by this commission that is functioninj
to destroy all the gains we have made in civil rights during
recent years," said Hooks.
The commission's budget for the current fiscal year i:
$11.8 million, and must be approved by Congress each
year.
Hooks, who is also chairman of the 150-membei

i November when a large number of candidates vying for
statewide offices were invited to the convention's annual
session in Charlotte where they answered questions con-.i
cerning vital issues. Every Democratic candidate for
governor was present except Lt. Gov. Jimmy Green, who
was still fighting bribery charges in court. He sent a
representative.
An effort is expected to be made within the next few
weeks to endorse a candidate for governor.
"We're urging our pastors and members to support
this slate," said Dr. Jerry Drayton, who also asked that
. ministers and association moderators continue voter
registration drives in their communities.
The 0GBSC committee also endorsed former House
Speaker Carl Stewart for lieutenant governor, state Sen.
Richard W. Barnes, D-Forsyth, for labor commissioner,
i_ Associate Justice Henry Frye for the N.C. Supreme
) Court, former Superior Court Judge Lacy Thornburg for
^attorney general and Democratizes Long for insvjfrgfjdg^
