Friday declines Senate race
From wire reports
UNC President Bill Friday asked
that his name be removed from
consideration for the U.S. Senate
race on Thursday.
"My own responsibilities and
obligations preclude any considera
tion of the possibility of becoming
a candidate," Friday said.
The state Democratic party
requires potential candidates to take
action at present time before declar
ing candidacy. Friday said he could
appreciate the requirements'
explained to him by Lt. Gov. Robert
Jordan.
Friday said after learning of the
requirements he called Jordan and
asked that his name be removed.
The deadline for Senate candi
dates to file is the first week in
February.
Label swapping investigated
SPARTANBURG, S.C.
news in brio?
"Made In USA" labels are replacing
country-of-origin labels on foreign
goods in at least five N.C. garment
firms, according to textile executive
Roger Milliken.
Milliken, chairman of Milliken &
Co., declined to name the compan
ies. He said the label swapping
signifies that the Crafted with Pride
in USA campaign is a success.
North Carolina officials said an
investigation of possible label tam
pering by at least one company in
the state is under way.
"It will come out," Milliken said.
"Something like that can't go on
undetected. I have more faith in the
worker."
