World amid Nation
Prosecutor ay Meclhainm lied at ttirna
From Associated Press reports
PHOENIX, Ariz. - Gov. Evan
Mecham lied under oath at his
impeachment trial and is guilty of
"grossly offensive" conduct as gov
ernor, a prosecutor said today, urging
the Arizona Senate to remove him
from office.
: In closing arguments, prosecutor
Paul Eckstein accused Mecham of
showing "a lifetime of reckless
disregard for the reputation of
anyone who has stood in his path to
political power."
"Respondent (Mecham) has dem
onstrated for all the world to see his
plain inability to tell the truth,"
Officials negotiate Middle East peace plan
From Associated Press reports
JERUSALEM Secretary of
State George Shultz on Monday
sidestepped differences with Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir on
a Middle East peace conference and
kept a U.S. peace plan alive by
focusing on Palestinian self-rule.
"We do have a sense of movement,"
a senior U.S. official told reporters
after Shultz met separately with
Shamir, Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres and Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin.
Noriega keeps hold on
From Associated Press reports
PANAMA CITY, Panama
Shops and stores reopened to little
business in Panama City on Monday,
ending a two-week strike that failed
to remove Gen. Manuel Noriega's
grip on the tense nation.

Eckstein said. "How much proof is
required to demonstrate that
respondent puffed, exaggerated,
misremembered, disassembled and
out-and-out lied?"
Eckstein said Mecham's conduct in
office "was not just offensive, it was
grossly offensive."
Senators must decide whether to
convict Mecham on two impeach
ment charges issued by the Arizona
House. A third charge was dismissed.
A vote could come late Monday or
Tuesday as the climax of five weeks
of trial, lawmakers said. A conviction
would force the first-term Republican
out of office.
A senior Israeli defense official,
however, said the government
remained deadlocked and the only
way to gain acceptance of the plan
would be for Shultz to persuade King
Hussein of Jordan to accept it.
Shultz will hold talks with Hussein
in Amman on Tuesday, return to
Jerusalem with a report for Israeli
leaders and shuttle back to the king
on Wednesday.

of self-rule, but not statehood, for the

States prepared to send an additional

The first impeachment count
accuses the governor of trying to
thwart an investigation of an alleged
death threat by a state official.
Mecham contended he did not intend
to break the law and that he was not
fully informed of the seriousness of
the alleged threat.
"Ignorance of the law is no
defense," Eckstein told senators.
The prosecutor accused Mecham
of making a number of statements
during his senate testimony that are
either "wrong" or were contradicted
by other witnesses.

Similarly, Peres said after his two

Peres told reporters, "We talked

Arabs lead strike in protest
of visit by secretary of state
From Associated Press reports
JERUSALEM Palestinians
mounted a general strike today to
protest the visit of Secretary of
State George Shultz, who was
trying to persuade Prime Minister
Yitzhak Shamir to accept an
international peace conference.
Hospital officials said an 18-year-old
Palestinian was shot to
death and another 18-year-old was
wounded during West Bank unrest
that accompanied the general
strike.
The fatality brought the number
of Arabs who have died to 137
in four months of anti-Israeli
protests. One Israeli soldier has
been killed.
Streets in the towns of the
occupied West Bank and Gaza
Strip were nearly deserted today
and shops shuttered after an
underground PLO leaflet called
for a general strike and three days
of protests to coincide with
Shultz's visit.
Convicts escape prison
MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. A
judge and a witness were given
police protection Monday after a
vengeful cop killer described as
"educated and cold-blooded"
broke out of a maximum security
prison along with two other
murderers.
Bobby Stacy, 35, and two other
inmates serving life sentences
without parole escaped from the
West Virginia Penitentiary here on
Sunday.
Stacy, formerly of Columbus,
Ohio, was convicted of murder in
the 1981 killing of a Huntington
police officer. At the time of the
slaying, he was free on bail on
charges that he shot an Ohio
patrolman.

that most of Ackland's pieces would
not be available to the public until
the museum reopened.
"But our first priority is the
preservation of the art," he said.
"Exhibition unfortunately has to
come second."
The Ackland building was origi
nally built in 1958 to house the
museum and the art department,
which has since moved to Hanes Art
Center.
UNC obtained the Ackland Art
Museum as a bequest from William
Hayes Ackland, but the museum's
background has a few interesting
complications.
Ackland was not an alumnus of
UNC but was a member of a wealthy
family from Nashville, Tenn. In his
will, he proposed three possible sites
for his bequest of a large art gallery
at a Southern university: Duke
University, Rollins College in Flor
ida, and UNC.

King followers hold march
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Follow

marched Monday to the motel
where he was assassinated 20 years
ago and promised to keep fighting
to reach his "promised land" by
calling attention to the plight of
the poor.
"Until we wipe out poverty in
the ghetto, nowhere can be safe.
Nowhere can be secure, for one
hungry person speaks in misery to
everybody," said Joseph Lowery,
president of the Southern Chris
tian Leadership Conference, a civil
rights organization founded by
King.
"There ain't going to be no
peace in the suburbs until there
is justice in the ghetto," Lowery
told about 3,000 people who
marched a mile and a half through
downtown Memphis to The Lor
raine Motel.
King was assassinated on April
4, 1968, while in Memphis to
support a strike by city sanitation
workers. He was also conducting
a nationwide campaign to draw
attention to poverty.
The day before he was shot,
King delivered his last public
address, saying, "IVe been to the
mountaintop . . . and IVe seen the
promised land. I may not get there
with you, but I want you to know
tonight, that we as a people will
get to the promised land."
from page 1
The president of Duke commis
sioned architects to draw up plans for
the proposed art gallery. His enthu
siasm so impressed Ackland that he
changed his will, leaving Duke the
money for the gallery.
Ackland died in 1940, leaving no
heirs. Duke's board of trustees, under
the leadership of a new president,
declined the offer. Reasons for
Duke's refusal, though never offi
cially confirmed, were attributed to
Ackland's request to be buried in his
museum.
Some relatives of Ackland con
tested the will, with the intention of
keeping the money bequeathed to
Duke for themselves. UNC took them
to court, and after a nine-year contest,
won the bequest to fund an art
gallery.
The money was used to build the
Ackland Art Museum and to estab
lish an acquisitions fund. The Uni
versity is responsible for staff and
maintenance.
William Hayes Ackland is buried
in a special crypt in the museum. His
grave will not be disturbed by the
renovations.
Too Late.
