SEC and White House officials approacf&d about the rumor did not confirm that Broyhill had been contacted about the position. SEC officials also said that the present chairman, John Shad, had not indicated that he was leaving bif post. However, the Raleigh News and Observer reported Tuesday that going to run," Rand said. "It's very early to make any type of announce ment, but IVe certainly been think ing about it." Hardison has confirmed that he would run, but Watkins could not be reached for comment. Rand is expected to become Senate majority leader in the next session, replacing Sen. Kenneth Royall, D-Durham, who is returning to the Senate but has declined to run for majority leader again. Senate Democrats will vote for majority leader on Dec. 5. Watkins is chairman of the House no sooner than 30 days. If approved, the rate increase will probably take effect in mid-summer of next year. Wayne Ennis, spokesman for CP&L, said the rate increase is necessary to pay construction costs of the Harris facility near Raleigh. "The costs of the plant were reasonable," Ennis said, "and we feel that our rate increase request is also reasonable." Although plans for the increase aire VeMdle t ! f PRESENTATION DISCUSSION ANALYST PROGRAM 7 P.M. THE CAROLINA INN CAROLINA ROOM President Reagan was considering the appointment of Shad as U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands. Kincaid said that Broyhill did not mention what his response would be if the position were offered him, but added that Broyhill was "very much interested in staying in public service work." Broyhill has not been approached officially about any other govern ment positions, said Kevin Brown, administrative assistant to Broyhill. However, Kincaid said other options will be open to Broyhill in key to Lt. Appropriations Committee. He is expected to keep this post, although he may be moved because of his efforts to include a large pay raise in the budget for former legislator Margaret "Pinky" Hayden, now a Department of Public Instruction official. For the Republicans, Sen. Bill Redman of Iredell and Rep. Betsy Cochrane of Davie are expected to run for lieutenant governor. Both are expected to run for re-election for minority leader positions. Rand said the issues important to the next session include a basic are not finished, Ennis said the amout of the increase would prob ably be between 12 percent and 14 percent. The company will request the proposed increase in two stages, with the second part to be proposed next summer. Together, the rate increases are expected to raise about $170 million annually. Ennis said that the company would probably file the first formal request for a rate increase in mid December. The company hopes that this increase will be approved by next summer, he said. "The North Carolina filing proce dure usually takes about seven months," he said. "They'll hold the usual public hearings, giving all the interested parties ample opportunity to have an input." Ennis said that the company is confident the request will be approved. both North Carolina and Washing ton. He said that the senator's first decision will be whether to stay in Washington or to return to North Carolina. Broyhill will probably make a final decision about his plans for the future after Jan. 1, Kincaid said. Several other SEC chairmen have continued in public service, although most return to private practice. William J. Casey, who was appointed to the SEC by Richard Nixon, now heads the Central Intelligence Agency. Gov, race education plan and compensation for educators. "Many of us feel that the foun dation has to be education and economic growth," he said. Hardison, who was on the Com merce Committee in 1985, said he hasn't considered committee posi tions for the next session. The issue he is concerned with for 1987 is liability insurance for doctors. He is concerned especially about the inability of rural doctors to afford the insurance, forcing patients to travel to find a doctor who will treat them, he said. "The plant is obviously needed," he said, "and we feel that the increase is needed to pay for it." Ennis said an audit being con ducted by the N.C. Utility Commis sion's Public Staff, who represent customers, will greatly influence the commission's final decision. The audit, examining the costs of the Shearon Harris plant, began two weeks ago, said Dennis Nightingale of the Public Staff's electrical division. "We're basically trying to find out the approximate cost of the con struction and whether these costs are reasonable or not," Nightingale said. The Public Staff has hired two accounting firms, one from Canada and one from Tallahassee, Fla., to conduct the audit. Nightingale said the audit will take from six to eight months to complete. 9ye w jb Turn tim Nai fcisAtsi GOLD CONNECTION says v "Yes Carolina, There is a Santa Claus" Check the new Student Directory for our 10 Off Coupon Spend $100 or More and well DOUBLE your coupon (20 off) You can lay away until Christmas Eve 128 E.

Aquino credited army chief of staff Gen. Fidel V. Ramos with taking "preventative measures against the recklessness of some elements in the military."

Dole did not mention any admin istration officials by name when he said the president should move to "cut our losses," as the Iran issue continued to consume the adminis tration and reports circulated that top advisers were calling for the ouster of Shultz, White House Chief of Staff Don Regan and National Security Adviser John Poindexter. Dole, after praising Shultz's past performance, added, "But I think right now they ought to circle the wagons: Either that, or let a couple of the wagons go over the cliff." "I think the president was well intentioned, well-motivated," in his decision to send arms to Iran, Dole said in an interview on CBS-TV's "Face the Nation."

The scientists are looking at why some are people boring, in what ways they can be boring and just how boring they can get.

With his comments Sunday, Dole (R-Kan.) added his voice to others calling for presidential action to restore administration unity as details continued to emerge about the Iran operation. Reagan, returning Sunday from his weekend retreat at Camp David, Md., ignored reporters' shouted questions as he emerged from his helicopter and entered the White House. White House spokesman Roman Papaduik said he had no informa tion on reports in The Washington Pdst and Los Angeles Times that a group of presidential advisers was pushing for a high-level shakeup in Reagan's staff. Dole said Regan told him earlier Sunday he knew nothing about such an effort. "It's all a little bizarre, frankly," said Dole. "The only person who could put this to rest is the president, and it would seem to me the quicker the better."
