4The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, September 6, 1988 MartDim commercial! raoses oio.mate qyestooini , u avs leg By ERIC GRIBBIN Staff Writer In spite of controversy and protests from his opponent, Gov. Jim Martin said last week that a radio commercial sponsored by his re-election cam paign legitimately questions Lt. Gov. Bob Jordan's stand on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. The commercial, which depicts a fictitious conversation between sev eral blacks about Jordan's decision not to serve on the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Commission, was sold to 15 major black-oriented radio stations in the state, said Tim Pitt man, press secretary for the Martin campaign. "The governor is trying to change the perception of black voters who blindly support the Democratic Party. The governor has hired more minority members than any other governor," Pittman said. "We are the first statewide campaign in 1988 to make a major buy on a black network." Martin does not support the King holiday, a position that h;is remained unchanged since his days as a con gressman, Pittman said. "The governor pushed for a Sun day holiday. His position was that Dr. King was not campaigning for days off. In North Carolina, no individual had a holiday prior to the King holiday except Jesus Christ," Pittman said. "I don't feel that this is a negative ad. There is no reference to Mr. Jordan's actual opposition to the holiday. The focus of the ad is why Bob Jordan turned down the chair manship of the commission.. This is a legitimate issue," he said. . In reaction to the ads, a black member of the commission has threatened to resign his position unless Martin took them off the air. "It's the lowest thing IVe heard lately," Bruce Lightner, who was Jesse Jackson's presidential cam paign mananger for North Carolina, said last week. "We agreed the Martin Luther King commission wouldn't be a political entity and he's making it a political football." "We're sorry that the governor is playing political football with the issue," said Betsy Jordan, operations manager for the Jordan campaign. "Jim Martin has flip-flopped oh a lot of issues, and this is just another one," she said. "He opposed the trying to look like he's supporting the Martin to make a statement like we're issue." taking the black vote for granted is; "It was unheard of for the governor missing the whole point.
