Jim Broyhill's voting record, but he denied taking a negative approach to the U.S. Senate race. "We're going to talk about his record for old people. We're going to talk about his record for farmers. We're going to talk about him totally striking out when it came to doing something worthwhile for the textile workers," Sanford said at a news conference. "But I'm going to talk about it in terms of comparisons," he added. "I'm not out to attack him. I never did start out to attack him. I never did really want to see that kind of campaign." Sanford, a Democrat, focused on education Wednesday, saying the issue had been raised when Broyhill . ran television ads criticizing ban ford's backing of a food tax while .' he was governor. He said the tax paved the way for widespread edu- . cation improvements in North Carolina.

"These institutions would not that Reagan was not having a major impact on the race. It found that 21 percent of all respondents were more likely to vote for Broyhill because Reagan favors him, 18 percent said they were less likely, and 55 percent said it made no difference. Reagan will attend a Broyhill rally and a private fund-raiser, both in Raleigh, Haynes said. The public rally is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Raleigh Civic Center, said center director Roger Krupa.

"We think it will show once again that Senator Broyhill is highly respected in Washington, that he has the confidence of President Reagan, and that he is dedicated to helping the president continue his positive change of direction for America," he said. Reagan attended a June 4 rally for Broyhill that Republicans called the most lucrative political fund raiser in the state's history, gener ating about $620,000.

Helms had the material inserted in the record before the Senate adopted his motion calling for the and restoring student aid grants to certain veterans," Sanford said. Doug Haynes, communications director for the Broyhill campaign, said Broyhill "has a very strong record of supporting higher quality education for people in our schools. "He advocates a back-to-the-basics approach involving parents and communities in the education of our children," Haynes said. "He really believes that the people who know the problems in education best are at the state and local level. The federal government's role should be to help students who are disadvan taged and needy, to set high goals and reward achievement." Sanford said he was was not moving to the attack, but said "I am going to be standing on the high ground, repelling the attacks. "I think that a campaign has to be a series of comparisons, but have always said comparisons should be out front, should be scrupulously honest," he said. He also chided Broyhill for not holding news conferences and for hiding behind short television ads. succeed the late Sen. John East after serving over 23 years in the House, is locked in a tight campaign with former Gov. Terry Sanford, a Democrat.

An aide inadvertently put the brief, into a stack ! of papers that ' was' inserted into the record for publlca: tion, Helms said. "I'm surprised they didn't catch it somewhere," he said. "I take full responsibility for it."

Inst. Reagan tries to hold ground in anti-sanctions lobbying From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON President Reagan lobbied senators by tele phone Wednesday in a final push to preserve his veto of sanctions aimed at pressuring the South African government to abandon the system of apartheid. The Senate was set to decide the issue Thursday, with most vote counts showing that Reagan lacks the margin he needs to prevent his veto from being overridden, as it was in the House earlier this week. Overriding a presidential veto requires two-thirds of senators present and voting. Secretary of State George Schultz maintained that the sanc tions legislation would increase joblessness among South African blacks. He said Tuesday that if senators choose to override the Reagan veto they will weaken the president's bargaining position with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, when the pair meets in Iceland in less than two weeks. Miners hold one-day strike JOHANNESBURG, South Africa About 325,000 black miners stayed away from work Wednesday to mourn 177 workers killed in a gold mine fire, union officials said. It was the largest protest ever among the nation's nearly 600,000 black miners. The Chamber of Mines, the Armbands given out to show sympathy for Contra victims By DONNA LEINWAND Assistant State & National Editor The Carolina Committee for Central America distributed arm bands in the Pit Wednesday to educate people about who the Contras are, said Keith Griffler, committee member. "The Contras are terrorists, bas ically," he said. "Reagan goes and says they are 'freedom fighters' but they are terrorists." Wednesday was the first day of the fiscal year and the day that the United States officially begins send ing $100 million in aid to support Contras in Nicaragua and Honduras. The Contras are Nicaraguan rebels fighting to overthrow the government of President Daniel Tickets available Free tickets are available for President Reagan's campaign rally for Sen.

Rainfall floods the Midwest More rain fell Wednesday across the Midwest and Plains, where flooding has left more than 3,500 people homeless, and Oklahoma's National Guard was asked to help in one county where "some people are cut off and trapped."

The armbands had names of people who have been killed by the Contras, Griffler said. The committee also gave out leaflets in the form of a check, he said. The checks were made out to the Contras for the amount of 50 cents, the amount every tax-paying American contributes to the Contra cause, he said. Layne Poole, a sophomore from Lillington, said she wore the arm band because she thinks President Reagan is condoning terrorism by supporting the Contras. "It's funny because Reagan has come out so strongly against Libyan terrorism but he's giving South American terrorists money," she said. 6 i American Hoar 'Acccsiation WE'RE FORVOUR LIFE camp MP QQ.QQQ.OQQ Q Q O a o o Q 0) w.
