The backlog of drug cases in Oran
County District Court will not
be
alleviated in the near future, according to
a report from Chief District Court Judge
Harry Morton.
Town attorney limery Denny
presented Morton's report to the Chapel
Mill Board of Aldermen Monday in
response to the board's petition for
:uhlitionjl Jjys of District Court.

The state Young Democrats Club went
on record last weekend as favoring the
abolishment of penalties for posession of
marijuana and liberalizing abortion laws.
The group also urged the removal of
all U.S. troops from South Vietnam.
Laos and Cambodia by June 1, 172.
The statements are part of the state
club's platform, adopted at the state
convention held in Greensboro last
weekend.
The convention also elected an Orange
County woman as first vice president and
a UNC student as college vice president.
The resolution on drugs was adopted
after a heated debate between coalition
of college and liberal elements of the club
and other club members.
The minority report of the platform
committee had urged marijuana penalties
to be reduced. The motion to adopt the
amended minoritv report won on a
293-231 roll call otc.

court full of driiE cases
delayed because of the amount of time
required by State Bureau of Investigation
(SBI) laboratory processing of evidence
and court session scheduling by the
district solicitor.
The aldermen adopted a resolution
Oct. 1 J petitioning the Court System to
hold sufficient extra sessions to handle
the backlog of Orange County drug cases.
Denny read a letter he received from
Herbert F. Pierce, the 15th District
Solicitor. Pierce said he shared the
aldermen's concern over the drug
problem but reported he had failed in his
efforts to establish special court sessions
Delegates at the convention opposed
to the measure used virtually every
parliamentary procedure possible in an
attempt to stop the measure's passage,
including a call for adjournment. The
moves either lost or were ruled out of
order.
The abortion stand was passed after
failure of an amendment requiring both
the father and mother be involved in the
decision for an abortion. The resolution
stated it was a matter between a woman
and her physician to terminate her
pregnancy.
"These votes indicate the Democrats
are broadminded and open to change
initiated by youth," said Becky Hannah,
co-chairman of the UNC chapter.
"It also shows voter registration of the
newly enfranchised voters must be
encouraged since there is a party open to
their views," she said.

County defeated Jim Bailey of Johnson

Saul Alinsky, noted community
organizer and social activist, will speak at
S p.m. today in the Great Hall of the
Student Union.
His speech, "Poverty and Politics" is
sponsored by the Carolina Forum.
Alinsky is founder and director of the
Industrial Areas Foundation, an agency
which contracts to build community
organizations.
After receiving his A.B. and Ph.B.
degrees in archaeology from the
University of Chicago, he did graduate
work in crimonology.
Alinsky and John L. Lewis founded
the Congress of Industrial Organizations
(CIO). With the help of labor leaders and
priests, he organized the Back of the
Yards Council in the Chicago slums
behind the stockyards.
The Council succeeded in exerting
enough pressure on politics and business
to transform the slum into a model
working-class neighborhood.
Alinsky has also established the
Industrial Areas Foundation in Chicago.
The foundation trains organizers from all
over the United States to form
community organizations.

to handle the backlog.
"Under North Carolina law, special
sessions of Superior Court are scheduled
by the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of N.C., who works with his
administrative assistant, Mr. Frank
Bullock of the Administative Office of
the Courts," Pierce's letter stated. The
letter added:
"I have made numerous efforts to get
special sessions for Orange County, but
for reasons beyond my control, I have
been unable to get any scheduled."
Denny then read a letter from Bullock
which said:
laws hit
history. She was the only woman elected
to the statewide office.
Mrs. McPherson, who rose in party and
club ranks from the precinct level, told
the convention delegates "1972 is going
to be an exciting year, but it is also going
to be a year of hard work."
UNC junior Lacy Presnell was elected
college vice-president. A past president of
the state Teen Democrats Club, Presnell
will preside over about 30 college clubs as
chairman of the College Federation
within the state YDC.
"We will be working to expand the
organization and the organize new college
clubs across the state," he said.
The college clubs will also work in
voter registration of young voters.
"Before the primary, we will channel
young people interested in working on
campaigns to different candidates," he
said. "After the primary, we will involve
young people in the party's campaign."
Presnell has been active in Student
Government at UNC.

In 1969 Alinsky organized FIGHT in
Rochester, N.Y., to contest the policies
of the powerful Eastman Kodak Co.
"If you don't go ahead and really start
organizing, what are you going to do,
what are your alternatives?" Alinsky said
in the March issue of Rolling Stone
magazine. "I've never been married to
any one thing.
"You show me a better course of
action and I'll buy it immediately."
Citing the polarizing effects of the
militancy of the New Left, Alinsky said,
"To go ahead and have a so-called
confrontation with a guy who's
commander in chief of the Army, the
Navy, or the Air Force, the bomb and
every other thing is just so stupid. If the
Weathermen were paid agents of the
Right they couldn't do a better job of it."
He also described politically active
students as "recognizing that the life style
of the middle class they come out of. the
values that they're familiar with, instead
of denouncing them with a lot of the
adjectives, like 'imperialistic' 'bourgeois.'
'materialistic,' and all that; that they
should look upon it almost as a surgeon
looks upon his operating tools."

"I have been aware of the need for
additional criminal sessions in Orange
County for the past several months.
However, there are presently four
vacancies on the Supreme Court Bench
which have existed since July 1. 1"1.
and which have to be filled by the
governor.
"These four vacancies are among the
eight Special Judges, who are utilized
primarily for special sessions in the
counties throughout the state where there
is a backlog.
"It is hoped the governor will fill these
vacancies in the near future, and when he
does we will have sufficient manpower to
schedule as many special criminal sessions
as is necessary in Orange County to clear
up any backlog."
The aldermen also received letters
from Ralph N. Strayhorn, president of
the N.C. Bar Association, and Charles
Dunn, SBI Director. Both men said they
would consider the problem and report
back to the board.
After hearing the report, the aldermen
requested Denny to present ar
suggestions next week for further action
by the board.
In other business, the board deferred
until next week final action on
recommendations by the Appearance
Commission to limit the number and
location of service stations and other
drive-in businesses by rigid zoning,
setback, screening and access standards.
The aldermen also voted to prepare an
ordinance which would establish the cot
of replacing lost dog tags.

for each term of summer school.
The recommendation, which will be
