Flooding causes evacuations in Robeson The Associated Press More people were evacuated from their Robeson County homes Sunday as the Lumber River continued to rise, officials said. The National Weather Service re ported that 73 homes had water in them although it was not clear how many had Perot II: Ross back to lead supporters’ group The Associated Press DALLAS Ross Perot has kept quiet since Election Day about Presi dent-elect Clinton, the economy and his own campaign for the White House. But he makes his comeback today, raising money and seeking members for United We Stand, America, his sup porters’ organization that is to become a political watchdog group. The group will allow Perot to main tain a political support base and thus his own influence as Clinton takes office. “Anybody who got 19 million votes has made a place for himself, no ques tion about it,” said Bruce Buchanan, a University of Texas political scientist. The organization, with a paid staff of 30 in Dallas, will monitor elected offi cials’ voting records and follow issues, Oaths Campbell, the first black elected to the office. Campbell won office against Republican Vernon Abemethy. Associate Justice Burley Mitchell administered the oath of office to N.C.

Two people were staying at the shel ter Sunday afternoon, but more were expected as the evacuations continued. “I think they’re trying to stick it out particularly government reform and deficit reduction, which Perot champi oned in his independent bid. It won’t back candidates, but it might rate officeholders as Americans for Democratic Action and other interest groups do. Perot’s 19 percent of the vote was the most of any third-party candidate since 1912. Based on that showing, Perot believes United We Stand, America, can become large and powerful. “We can literally provide the vote that determines who gets elected,” Perot said in a training video sent to state and local leaders of his campaign who now have been tapped to recruit for the new watchdog group. After a news conference today, Perot is to return to a favorite venue to tout the a.m. and joked with the audience, welcoming those attending to the ceremonies “on this most beautiful Saturday morning.” Blue then introduced Rev. James McKinnon of the first Presbyterian Church in Hunt’s hometown of Wilson to give the invocation. Bonnie Smith of Raleigh, chairwoman of the 1993 Inaugu ration Committee, introduced the special guests at the cer emony, including Naval Midshipman Kristen Culler, the second woman to hold the office of brigade commander, which is the highest-ranking member of the senior class at the U.S. Naval Academy. Culler was also the grand marshal of the Inaugural Parade. Robson program and began to gain national prominence. In addition to his work at UNC, Robson also served as a social science analyst for the Strategic Bombing Survey in Germany during World War II and was a government con sultant on higher education during the U.S. occupation of Germany after the war. He also served as a visiting professor at the Free University in West Berlin, the University of Cologne and several other European schools. Robson authored numerous scholarly articles appearing in social science journals in the United States, Europe and Latin America. He also edited and translated “Berlin: Pivot of German Destiny,” a collection of nine penetrating essays covering all aspects of the once-divided city. But Robson’s strongest traits were his warmth and com passion, Cleaveland said. “(Robson) was a wonderful scholar, but more a human being,” Cleaveland said. “Unlike so many acamedicians, he never took himself too seriously.” Services will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Chapel of the Cross Episcopal Church in Chapel Hill. Surviving Robson are his son, Charles B. Robson Jr. of Raleigh, and two grandsons.

The level is expected to remain between 14 feet and 15 feet for the next several days, the weather service said. group TV talk shows. But to get people to pay a$ 15 annual membership fee, Perot will have to more clearly define the group’s purpose and lead it better than he did his campaign, which was beset by infighting and is the subject of an FBI investigation for al leged computer hacking. Plus, Perot will have to sustain mem bers’ interest. “He’s going to find, particularly after the first year, it’s really hard to get people to pay dues like that,” said Ben jamin Page, a political scientist at North western University. There are signs that Perot’s associ ates learned from campaign mistakes. For instance, volunteer training at the group’s new phone bank is more for mal, seeking to limit misinformation from page 5 from page 1 This is the highest the river has been at Lumberton since March 1971, the weather service said. Meanwhile, rain continued along the Outer Banks, where local law enforce ment officials reported sand on N.C. 12 at Pea Island on Hatteras, where 1 foot of sea water covered the road. from personal interpretations that were allowed during the campaign. On the other hand, Perot’s state lead ers report spotty communication and little guidance. “I think everything is in a state of flux,” said Becky Borland, who led the Perot campaign in South Dakota and has been sent recruitment materials for United We Stand, America. “But I do know the intention is to stay together as a force in favor of reform.” In Maine, where Perot received his highest percentage of the vote in No vember 30.4 percent campaign chief Steve Bost said he had been prim ing other backers for five weeks. “I think the timing puts the new ad ministration and Congress on notice that a great many people will be watch ing,” Bost said. Clinton is ripe for Perot’s message, analyst Buchanan said, noting the presi dent-elect’s statements last week that he’s rethinking economic strategy in light of revised budget figures. “It’s still a week before the inaugura tion,” Buchanan said.

Martin, who introduced Hunt after his farewell speech, told the crowd that he hoped the Hunt administration would carry out the unfinished tasks of the Republican era. Martin focused on is sues such as veto power for the gover nor, the creation of a sound state rail road system and the decentralization of N.C. school systems as transition areas for the new administration. “It is my honor to turn this over to you and wish you well as you return,” Martin said. Martin bid farewell to the governor’s post by repeating his granddaughter’s speech at a family outing. “God is great. Thank you. Bye-bye,” he said. After shaking hands with Martin, Hunt praised Martin’s accomplishments during his eight-year administration and said he hoped to continue some of Martin’s goals. “For myself and for all North Caro linians, I thank (Governor Martin and First Lady Dottie Martin) for their years of service to our state,” he said.

Rep. Art Pope, R-Wake, for the lieutenant governor’s post, said that the time had come for North Carolina to be a state of progress. “A little more than a century ago North Carolina was known as the Rip Van Winkle state, content to let progress pass it by,” he said. “As we enter the dawn of anew century, we must struggle not to let our state fall behind again.” Wicker also focused on the health care issue during his inaugural speech. While various N.C. legislators and other prominent officials are working to re structure North Carolina’s health-care laws, Wicker said the new administra tion would work with the N.C. General Assembly to alleviate the state’s health insurance woes. “Right now nearly one million North Carolinians have no such health care insurance at a11... that’s unacceptable,” Wicker said. “As lieutenant governor, I will be pushing forward an innovative plan to make health care more afford able to more people.” In the hope that the state will become more industrious, Wicker stressed the importance of uniting the urban and rural areas of North Carolina. “We must bring the rich North Caro lina and the poor North Carolina to gether —eliminate the divide so that all our citizens share and enjoy in our progress,” he said. 11
