A Chapel Hill police cruiser pursues a
car on Airport Road. The car is overtaken
by the cruiser and forced to pull off the
road. An officer steps up to the driver and
asks him to step out of the car. What hap
pens to the driver at this point? What are
the procedures local law enforcement of
ficers follow when making an arrest?
Chapel Hill and , Carrboro 1 Police
Departments follow statewide procedures
for arrests and trials, but each department
has additional regulations that apply to its
own community, local law enforcement
officials said.
"Chapel Hill's departmental regulations
are not that different from state regula
tions, but we have some minor policies of
our own,' Maj. Arnold Gold of the
Chapel Hill Police Department said.
"Police departments set regulations that
' serve the norms of the community. It all
depends on the clientele that you have in a
community."
Gold said that while Chapel Hill is af
fected by all crimes, violent crimes are less
common in Chapel Hill than in many
other communities.
"We deal with everyone. But being that
we are predominantly a university com
munity, emphasis is placed on other,
areas," he said. "Our biggest problems in
JV. C. banks unhurt by oil price drops
By J. BONASIA
Staff Writer
Although some large national banks have been hurt by recent
declines in oil prices, banks in North Carolina have not been af
fected, according to state bank officials.
Since North Carolina banks are not very committed to oil
related loans, they consequently won't be set back by a 20 percent
decline in oil prices, said Mai Murray, senior vice president of
First Union National Bank in Charlotte.
- "The banks here in North Carolina aren't heavily enough into
the problem areas to be threatened," Murray said. "But banks in
some other states like Texas or California have considerable in
vestments in oil exporting nations. They might be hurt."
Thomas Storrs, chairman of North Carolina National Bank of
Charlotte, said that the bank is not deeply involved with oil
developments. In fart, Storrs is optimistic about the price
declines.
"The drops in oil prices will make for a better U.S. economy
and we as a state should share in that growth," he said.

' under way, a governm.ent report showed
Monday.
President Reagan cited the news as a
promise of a "long and strong" rebound
from the worst recession since World
War II. Other administration officials
were equally optimistic.
Private economists were far more
cautious about the prospects for a robust
and durable upturn that would put
jobless Americans back to work. They
said the recovery could be shattered
unless interest rates decline further.
The Commerce Department's so-called
"flash" report, a crude, preliminary
estimate of economic activity, showed
inflation-adjusted gross national product
expanding at an annual rate of 4 percent
during the first three months of this year.
That would be the fastest growth rate

Chapel Hill are property crmies, larceny,
vandalism and alcohol-related incidents."
Gold said that most arrests are made at
the officer's discretion, although driving
while intoxicated warrants automatic ar
rest. "Generally we try to avoid arrests where
possible," he said. "Most street offenses
are just citations that set a court date or
the option of paying a fine without a court
appearance. This saves everyone's time
and avoids problems."
If an arrest is warranted, an individual is
taken to the magistrate's office, located in
the Chapel Hill Police Department
building on Airport Road. A magistrate
issues a warrant and posts a bond if he
determines probable cause on the initial ar
rest of the officer.
All misdemeanor cases are handled in
the district court in Chapel Hill, with ap
peals and felonies handled at the superior
court level in Hillsborough, Gold said.
Fingerprints are taken for individuals
charged with a felony or serious misde
. meanors such as assault, but not for DUIs.
Handcuffing is left to the officer's dis
cretion and is used only for the safety of
the officer or person involved.
"Handcuffing is used only when neces
sary," Gold said. "It usually is used to
keep the victim from being agitated,
especially when alcohol is involved."
Gold said that even if serious crimes
An NCNB assistant vice president, Michael Woody, agreed,
adding that on a loan portfolio basis, NCNB's oil involvement is
"infinitesimally small."
North Carolina Banking Commissioner Jim Currie called this
state's overall involvement comparatively insignificant.
"Upon examination, all state chartered banks are in good
shape. Their patterns have not been at all erratic," he said. Currie
added that North Carolina has "been blessed with good, solid
banking for some time."
Lower oil prices have been anticipated for months, according
to John Medlin, president of Wachovia Bank and Trust Co. of
Winston-Salem. As a result, some of the biggest domestic oil in
dustry credit problems have surfaced already and been absorbed,
he said.
The positive results of the price declines won't be initially
flagrant, Murray said.
"Overall, the positive impact will be a stimulation of general
economic activity," he said. "Essentially, all of our customers will
eventually be helped by it."

were more prevalent in Chapel Hill, the
department's policies probably would not
change significantly.
"Ninety percent of our action involves
no force, and when there is force, it is
generally only verbal force," Gold said.
"People who are being arrested for the
first time may not be used to authority
telling them to do something. Most people
accept police action, and although they
don't like it, they deal with it themselves."
Most local residents who are arrested
are released by a sign-on bond. Non-local
residents would have a bond posted but
probably would not be jailed, he said.
The Carrboro Police Department fol
lows similar procedures, but has its own
departmental manual, a Carrboro police
official said. Arrests are processed through
the magistrate in Chapel Hill.
In both towns, statewide procedures are
followed in felony cases. A defendant is
required to appear in a district court within
a 96-hour period for a pre-trial hearing. At
this hearing, a defendant is informed of his
charges, has the option to request a state
appointed attorney if he cannot afford a
private one, and a date is set for a pro
bable cause hearing in district court. The
defendant also has the option to discuss his .
bond with the judge, who has the power to
either raise, lower or keep the bond the
same.

the recovery peteringxmt because of high
interest rates."
Sinai added that economic activity is
still pretty flat except for strong gains by
the auto and housing industries.. That
suggests' that the avilian jobless rate -
which1 has receded from a recession peak
of 10.8 percent to a current 10.4 percent
will edge up again.
"The recovery is not broad enough to
encourage business to rehire people at a
rapid clip," he said.
David Ernst, an economist with
Washington-based Evans Economics,
said economic growth will hot be as brisk
this spring. "We are unequivocally out of
recession, but the recovery still has not
spread to all sectors of the economy."
Some economists fear interest rates will
rise this year if the Federal Reserve Board
decides to stop the nation's money supply
from growing as rapidly as it has in the
past few months. The money growth has
helped fueL the recovery, but the central
bank is afraid too much growth will plant
the seeds for high inflation down the
road.

WASHINGTON House and Senate negotiators neared
agreement Monday on a compromise, multibiHion dollar jobs
bi3 after' stripping away nearly $1.2-billion in aid to local
governments that prompted a veto threat from the White
House.
The legislation also includes $5 billion to permit 27 states
and the District of Columbia to keep paying unemployment
benefits.
Congressional leaders predicted the measure would win final
approval of both hquses by the end of the week. Sen. Mark
Hatfield, R-Ore., said administration officials had signaled
strongly during the weekend that President Reagan would veto
any measure with the $1.15 billion in revenue sharing.
The original House bill included a $4.9 billion measure for
jobs and humanitarian relief for victims of the recession, but
provided no increase in regular revenue sharing for cities and
counties. .
WASHINGTON A House subcommittee Monday voted
to cite Rita M. Lavelk for contempt of Congress just after it
released documents purporting to show White House political
manipulation of the $1.6 billion "superfund" toxic waste
cleanup program she once headed.
The contempt charge came because Lavelle, fired as assis
tant administrator at the embattled Environmental Protection
Agency, refused to obey a subpoena to appear before the
House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on investiga
tions. The vote was 8-0. j
The resolution now goes to the full Energy and Commerce
committee whose chairman, Rep. John D. Dingell, D-Mich.,
is also chairman of the subcommittee. If it passes there, the
full House would consider whether to send the matter to the
U.S. attorney in Washington for possible criminal prosecution.
WASHINGTON The Senate's march toward passage of
the Social Security rescue bGl was slowed Monday by a new ef
fort to thwart a government plan to have banks withhold 10
percent of interest and dividend income.
Sen. John Melcher, D-Mont. , offered an amendment to the
rescue bill to delay the July 1 start of withholding on bank ac
counts and stock holdings for six months.
It was unclear how long the Senate would debate Melcher's
amendment. The Senate passed a jobs bill last week after it
was tied up for days by an effort to repeal the withholding
plan. ,
Melcher said the withholding was "an injustice" that would
deprive people of money that could be earning more interest.
'84 Contenders
N.C. politicians take ' sides in primary
The Associated Press
. Prominent politicians in North Carolina
say they are feeling pressures to choose
among the many potential presidential
candidates vying for their support.
The North Carolina primary will com
mit at least 80 delegates for the Democratic
presidential nomination in 1984, and could
make the difference if the nomination pro
cess remains close.
y. Former U.S.. Senr. Robert Morgan may
have to choose among six hopefuls., While
Morgan was in the Senate, he sat next to
Sen. John Glenn of Ohio and considers
Glenn a good friend. But Morgan also was
a close confidant of Sen. Gary Hart of
Colorado. V
Morgan and Sen. Alan Cranston of
California teamed up together on a special
commission on housing. Morgan will in
troduce Cranston next month at a business
convention in Pinehurst.
Morgan also will introduce Sen. Dale
Bumpers of Arkansas at a state Demo
cratic Party function next month in
Raleigh. :
Morgan and Sen. Ernest Hollings of
South Carolina go back together many
years in Southern politics. And Morgan
said he and former Vice President Walter
Mondale "were very close."
For now, Morgan said, he's' for Mon
dale. But he will keep an option open for
Hollings should the dark-horse campaign
of the former South Carolina governor
catch fire.

Republican incumbent Eugene Johnston.
Britt will appear at a giant fund raiser for

. Former US. Rep. Richardson Preyer
also is being wooed by the candidates, but
he said he probably will not take sides
because he heads a statewide Democratic
unity group called the N.C. Campaign

"The fund is trying to raise money for
Democrats in general, and I think it might
handicap that effort if I took a strong
position," said Preyer, who divides his
time between helping the party and
teaching at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Gov. James B. Hunt Jr. plans to meet
with Glenn when he comes to Raleigh, but
Hunt press aide Brent Hackney said this
should not be interpreted as an endorse
ment. "He's not ready to jump on any
one's bandwagon," Hackney said.
The governor's goal is to find "a candi
date acceptable to the mainstream Demo
crats in the South," Hackney said. "But
he has no preconceived notion who that
is."

BRUSSELS, Belgium European finance ministers re
solved the French-German money crisis in a sweeping align
ment of currencies Monday, patching up a quarrell just hours
before a Common Market summit.
The highlight of the accord was a 2.5 percent devaluation of
the weak French franc and a 5.5 percent upward revaluation
of the strong German mark in relation to an agreed central
rate in the European Monetary system.
The aim was to make French products more attractive than
German exports and help ease France's $13.6 billion foreign
trade deficit. It also boosted the U.S. dollar, which rose sharp
ly against the European currencies.
It was the seventh realignment of the system since it was
founded in 1979 to stabilize, currencies of eight Common
Market nations.
WASHINGTON After four days of varying degrees of

watching the calendar. . , N
If all the right things happen, Ling-Ling will give birth be
tween late July and early September to the first panda cub born
in the United States.
Hsing-Hsing, however, would have good reason to ask
ling-Ling whether the cub is his.
After seven seasons of relative disinterest, the two pandas
finally mated. Friday. But to increase the chance of success,
zoo officials artificially inseminated Ling-Ling twice during the
weekend with sperm from Chia-Chia, her one-time suitor.

isn't ready for an early endorsement of a
presidential candidate.-!
"I like several people Senator Glenn,
Vice President Mondale, Senator
Hollings,,' Neal said. All three cam
paigned for Neal in his '82 re-election bid.
:. And he termed Hart a "very impressive
young man."
. The presidential candidates also will
court North Carolina's heavily Democratic
black population. But black voters may
play bird to get.
; ."There is a possibility of a black can
didate coming out for the purpose of let
' ting people know that blacks are upset,"
said ; H.M. "Mickey" Michaux of
Durham, a U.S. attorney in the Carter ad
ministration and one of the state's most in
fluential black Democrats.
He said civil rights activist Jesse Jack
son, U.S. Rep. Walter Fauntroy of the
District of Columbia and Mayor Richard
Hatcher of Gary, Ind., were possible black
contenders.
Michaux said he has been contacted
directly of indirectly by all of the can
didates. "I'm looking at Mondale, Hart and
Glenn," he said.
