Gov. Jim Martin responded on
Monday to Democratic criticism of
the $30,000 bill for his trip to
California last week, his press
secretary said.
Martin made the trip to secure
business deals to bring more film
makers to North Carolina. The
Democrats have said the expenses
especially for the hotel in which
Martin, his wife and nine security
members stayed were
unnecessary.
"He wanted to go where the movie
producers are. It's an industry that
thrived under (former Gov. Jim)
Hunt, and Governor Martin wanted
to continue that," said Tim Pittman,
Martin's press secretary.
He said Martin wanted to meet
with the producers directly. The trip
was designed to make those involved
feel personally in touch with the

industry, he said. "You don't keep
the industry going unless you pay
a lot of attention to it," he said.
Martin used the Beverly Wilkshire
Hotel for reception purposes, Pitt
man said, because "a Holiday Inn
in Hollywood just wouldn't be right
for that." The producers were com
fortable at the hotel, and the intent
was to put them at ease, he said.
Jim Van Hecke, N.C. State Demo
cratic Party chairman, said, "Most
of the criticism was of the fancy
hotel."
The 96 North Carolina business
men who went on the trip paid their
own expenses, but Van Hecke said
the high cost of the receptions was
unnecessary. Although Martin billed
the construction of a studio in High
Point as a major outcome of the trip,
it "was a done deal before they went
out there," he said.
Pittman agreed that the High

will help clean up elections in North
Carolina.
"I think people in North Carolina
have been through some campaigns
that warrant such a code," said Tom
Lawton, press secretary for freshman
Sen. Terry Sanford.
The code's drafting was
announced Sunday by Democratic
Party National Chairman Paul Kirk.
It is particularly aimed at keeping
the Democrats from using negative
politics on the road to the 1988
presidential campaign.
Sanford encouraged higher con
duct during the recent election by
signing a fair campaigning code in
the spring, Lawton said.
"It doesn't just strengthen the
party; I think it is aimed at strength
ening the election process as a
whole," he said. It would be good

Point studio deal was basically set
before the California trip, but other
smaller deals were made there,
Pittman said.
He said the movie industry has
brought over $1 billion in revenues
to North Carolina in the past six
years.
Van Hecke said he was not sure
what Martin's intent was, because
the main deal was already set. MI
guess they wanted to use that as
leverage," he said.
But N.C. Republican Party Chair
man Bob Bradshaw defended the
trip. "The money was well spent, and
it was very little money well spent
besides," he said.
Pittman said part of the criticism
also may have been purely political.

Others didn't agree with the
Democrats' reasoning. "Anything
that we did (during the election) they
called negative campaigning," said
Chris Shields, communications
director for the N.C. Republican
Party. He added that the Democratic
Party was avoiding the issues with
the proposal.
"It's just smoke in mirrors," he
said. "They are on the wrong side
of the issues so they tend to make
up issues."
J. Morse Grant, chairman of the
N.C. Institute for Legal Elections,
said the code should include changes
in the use of negative ads. These
changes should be looked at closely
to differentiate between negative

of an opponent's record, he said.
The institute has sent a letter to
congressmen asking for their opinion
of a code of conduct, Grant said.
Since the code was widely approved,
it would help tone down radical
negative campaigning, he said. "Both
parties need to give emphasis to the
matter of campaign ethics," he said.
Grant said he didn't think that
either party was more guilty than the
other. "Every emphasis on clean,
wholesome, positive campaigning
should be stressed," he said.
Jim Van Hecke, chairman of the
N.C. Democratic Party, said, "I
think it (the code) came out of people
not supporting the primary candi
date that was chosen." He said the
code was based on the theory that
defeated candidates should support
the winner of the Democratic
nomination.

British bank sells holdings
in South African affiliate
From Associated Press reports
JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa Barclays Bank of Bri
tain, citing financial and political
pressure, said Monday it sold its
last shares in its South African
affiliate for about $230 million.
It was the biggest divestment yet
by a foreign company.
A consortium of South African
companies signed the deal last
week to buy Barclays shares in
Barclays National Bank of South
Africa, the country's largest
commercial bank.
"The Barclays PLC sale of
shares must have an impact on
the South African economy. It is
certainly not a perilous matter,
but it is a serious concern in terms
of psychological impact," Basil
Hersov, chairman of Barclays
National, told a news conference.
The London-based Barclays
Bank PLC once owned 100 per
cent of the local affiliate but since
1973 had reduced its share to 40.4
percent. Its final pullout is the first
by a major British company but
follows withdrawal by numerous
American companies, most
recently General Motors, Kodak
and IBM.

By DONNA LEINWAND
Assistant State & National Editor
Two members of the U.S. Senate
Foreign Relations committee will
not support Sen. Jesse Helms, R
N.C., in his bid for top rank on the
committee, according to spokesmen.
Helms has challenged Sen.
Richard Lugar, R-Ind., for the top
Republican position on the commit
tee, asserting he has the right to the
seat because of seniority. Lugar, who
has held the position for two years,
has rejected the assertion.
Helms chose to give up the posi
tion two years ago to chair the
agriculture committee.
Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan.,
a committee member, will support
Lugar because she "respects him"
and he works well with the commit
tee and the administration, Larry
Shainman, Kassebaum 's press secre
tary, said- T
Sen. Daniel Evans, R-Wash., is
backing Senator Lugar "100 per
cent," said Monica Thompson, press
secretary for Evans.

The campaign, developed over
the past seven to eight months by
the Governor's Highway Safety
Program, is centered on the
slogan, "Drive drunk in North
Carolina and it's the end of the
road," Martin said.
The campaign consists of
advertisements for television,
newspaper, radio and billboards
developed by the Raleigh firm of
McKinney, Silver & Rockett.
Martin said he hoped the media
would run the commercials free

Social agencies get overload
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Prosperity in Dixie has provided
an ironic holiday twist for the
region's social agencies, which
have received an unusual number
of pleas for help from families
who came seeking work but
wound up on the street.
"They are just moving from one
state to another and hoping they
can find that job," said Maj. Herb
Bergen at the Salvation Army
Post in Knoxville. "Some of these
people are not skilled in anything,
and they just fall through the
cracks again when they get in
your community."
member of the committee, hasn't
said who he will support, according
to his press secretary Mary Lahr.
"He's standing back," she said.
"Both guys he likes. Rudy likes a
lot of what Senator Lugar has done
on the committee and he has worked
with Jesse on the agriculture com
mittee. He doesn't want to get in the
middle."
Helms has the seniority rule on
his side, said Helms' chief legislative
assistant, James Lucier.
"It's Senator Lugar who is leading
the fight," Lucier said. "(Lugar) is
-making the challenge."
Republicans are caucusing today
to determine committee member
ships and many of the committees
will be reconstituted, he said.
"We don't know if all the members
(of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee) will stay," he said. "The ratios
will change." -
Lugar said Republicans on the
committee will have to choose

ity Affairs Office to write a news
paper column, a Martin spokeswo
man said.
The column, which will cover a
variety of subjects, will be offered
to the state's newspapers on a
monthly basis.
"This is something we have been
working toward for a long time,"
said spokeswoman Karen Rotter
mann. She added that Martin
already writes a monthly column.
The new column is an opportunity
for minority community leaders to
suggest topics to the Minority
Affairs Office, she said. In this way,
blacks and other minorities can gain
statewide publicity for specific
concerns, she added.
The subject of the November
column is the N.C. Missing Persons
Center in Raleigh. Martin organized
it as the Missing Children's Center,
and the General Assembly expanded
it. The author is Crystal Stowe,
public information director for the
N.C. Department of Crime Control
and Public Safety.
Dr. Lee Monroe, Martin's senior
adviser on higher education, will
write next month's column, Rotter
mann said. Monroe will discuss the
state's historically black colleges.
The January column will be about
the seat-belt law, which becomes
mandatory at the beginning of the
year. Sylvania Wilkerson, of the
N.C. Traffic Safety Commission,
will write it, she said.
Rottermann said the purpose of
the column is "to educate all of the
citizens of North Carolina, not just
minorities." She said, "There has
never been a governor who has not
been expected to communicate with
his constituents."
Chris Shields, of the N.C. Repub
lican Party, said party members were
glad to see it, although they had not
pushed for it.
"We've always reached out to
black voters," he said, calling the
column "an extension of that
outreach."
