I 2The Daily Tar HeelMonday. January 22, 1990 World and Nation Mayor seeks drag addiction help From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON Mayor Marion Barry, acknowledging that he needs "to heal my body, mind and soul," but declining to mention drug abuse, an nounced Sunday that he would seek help following his arrest on a cocaine possession charge. "He has reached the hour of reckon ing," said his wife, Effi. At times blinking back tears, the mayor provided no further details on what kind of assistance he will seek, except to say that social activist and self-described nutritional expert Dick Gregory has been advising him on how to get help. An aide said Barry's main problem was with alcoholism. Top advisers to the mayor, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the mayor was considering checking into the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mi rage, Calif, and two unnamed clinics in the Washington area. A decision on where the mayor will be treated is expected before Monday, the aides said.

While the mayor did not say whether he was suffering from drug abuse, oth ers say he is. Herbert Reid Sr., one of the mayor's closest personal advisers, said he hoped that from Barry's travails "we can all learn something about drug addiction." "He's doing the right thing," Reid said. "I am we all are relieved, because many of us have suspected for some time that he has had a problem." 'The most serious problem is alco holism," Barry spokeswoman Lurma Rackley said. "The mayor has acknowl edged that he has a health concern, and the details are his private matter." "For you to admit that you have a problem ... that you need to make your self whole again is truly a burden lifted from our souls," the mayor's wife said in remarks that followed her husband's. "For our family it is just the beginning." J 0 D D 0 Q 0 0 a G a Q a Q 0 D 0 0 sm Directions: From NC 54 ByPass take Jones Ferry Rd. to Old Greensboro Rd. 19. .R mil tn NP R7.

Monday-Friday 10:00-6:00Saturday 10:00-2:00 Barry, surrounded by clergy in a broadcast appearance in front of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church near his home, clasped his wife's hand and said he has come "face to face with my deepest human failures." Barry said, "These ministers have helped me to keep the strength I need ... I'm going to find a way to heal my body, mind and soul." The mayor did not take questions and turned the podium over to Mrs. Barry following his brief statement. Attention has been focused on Mrs. Barry in part because the mayor was lured to his arrest by a woman with whom the mayor has been friendly. Barry, 53, was arrested Thursday evening at a downtown hotel in an FBI sting operation. He now faces a misde meanor cocaine possession charge af ter testing positive for cocaine in blood and urine tests administered following his arrest. Close advisers to Barry told The Associated Press on Saturday that the mayor had agreed to enter a drug treat ment center. The sources said details on the type of treatment and location of the facility were still being worked out. Barry had been poised to announce his bid for a fourth term as mayor on Sunday but his arrest has thrown local politics into turmoil. Several advisers said Barry had agreed to abandon his bid for re-election, and they added that the possibility of his resigning from office was never discussed in strategy sessions on Friday and Saturday. "The issue never came up, because it is so far out there beyond what we are dealing with now," said one aide who spoke with Barry several times on Sat- BSM group's theme for the next two months, both within the organization and with other groups. "We want people to get involved," Blanks said. "I'd like to see the BSM as a major force for students on campus." Projects slated for the interim period include establishing the Harvey Beech scholarship fund for minority students.

"There is no reason for him to resign, because if he did, he would lose the powers of office, the influence, and the ability to generate money for his treatment program and his legal de fense." One Barry cabinet member suggested that prior grand jury testimony in which the mayor has said he denied ever using drugs prevented the mayor from making specific references todrug abuse in his short announcement Sun day. "If he had said he had a cocaine problem or some other form of drug abuse, then he could possibly face a perjury charge," said the aide, who spoke only on condition of anonymity. "He had to be careful." "This will help minority retention," she said. The BSM is also planning "Discov ery," a weekend of lectures and activi ties in February or March focusing on the state of blacks at predominately white universities.

The Communists offered the opposition "co-responsibility" in the government until May elections, abolished their clasped-hands em blem and offered to change their party's name. Also Sunday, the government threw former Parliament speaker Horst Sindermann into prison along with two other former members of the now-disgraced leadership, and it opened a criminal probe of the Communist finance minister on charges of graft. Haitian regime arrests critics PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti A prominent civic leader, considered the father of Haiti's constitution, was forced into exile Sunday by the mili tary regime a day after it imposed a state of siege and arrested dozens of critics. Louis Roy "was carrying a small suitcase, kissed the ground two times, and mounted the stairway to exile," a relative told The Associated Press. Roy, 74, founder of the Haitian Red Cross, flew to Miami aboard a commercial flight. On Saturday, another government critic, conservative leader Hubert de students are concerned about." The group will continue efforts to establish a committee with Gillian Cell, the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences who has been under fire from black students in recent months. The committee would discuss minority is sues in education and would hold a forum for student body elections, she said. Blanks's old position will remain unfilled until the election, so she will continue to carry out most of the vice presidential duties.
