But, it is an African Nation - Nigeria - that supplies more oil to the U.S. than any other Opec Member state, and Nigeria says the supply is reliable. Nigeria has in the last year moved from fourth to second on the list of America's foreign oil sources, and a Nigerian spokesman said last week that his country expects to continue to supply the U.S. with Oil at the same rate that it has in the past. He termed relations between the two countries "good," excepting "Minor Misunderstandings" suoh as a Nixon snub to the visiting Nigerian President in 1973. Asked for a reaction to the controversial statement by secretary of state Henry Kissinger about U.S. Military action agaisnt oil producers, the lygerian spokesman remarked: "I don't think, there's any threatened country that will react favorably to threats, nor any weak country that will react favorabley to threats, from a bigger country." He said also that Nigerian prefers the route of "Conciliation and Consultation" to veiled threats.

It must include a three year plan showing community development needs and objecties, and must outline a comprehensive strategy to meet those needs. Such strategy must take into account both a real wide development planning, national urban growth policy, and "any, identifiable segment of the total group of low-income persons (minorities and women) in the community.' The application must describe a program to eliminate or prevent slums, blight and deterioration, and to provide improved community facilities including supporting health and social service delivery.

The victims, three of whom were sisters, were alledgedly slain by Joe Lewis Harris, 40, of Raleigh. He has been charged with four counts of murder and his case will be presented to a Wake County Grand Jury, Monday, Jan. 20. Dead are Mrs. Harveleigh Monte Rivera White, 55, Mrs. Bernice Clark Harrington, 33, Mrs. Gertrude Clark Harmon, 31, and Mrs. Azalee Clark Jackson, 29. All of the women were Raleigh residents. Raleigh police said they had not established a motive for the shootings, but there is specualtion that revenge may have been the cause behind Harris actions. One of the sisters, Mrs. Gertrude Harmon, supposedly threw lye in Harris' face during an agrument last October. Harris suffered serious damage to one of his eyes and has been on leave from the Raleigh Post Office since the incident. Mrs. White, superintendent of a branch of the Raleigh Post Office, had testified as a character witness for Mrs. Harmon at a hearing on the lye throwing incident. Her trail was still pending.

Michaux is in his second term in the House, said providing North Carolinans with some degree of tax reform while at the same time insuring that the state's general revenues, don't fall off too much will be of pressing concern during the session. Many legislators and observers agree that the session may last as long as late June or July. In the area of tax reform, Michaux said he favored repeal of the sales tax on food and a graduated income tax of up to .10 per cent. He said he also favored some revision in the state's motor vehicle tax law. "This will bring in more revenue," he said and offset any loss of revenue resulting from the abolishment of the food tax. "We still have to keep an eye on the budget, he said.

Expanison of the ECU Medical School was the main topic during the 1974 session of the General Assembly and there are some legislators who supported expansion then, but dho now doubt the advisability of proving the $35.2 million which the commission recommended, especially, at the expense of the other schools within the university system. The NCCU Law School, for example, could lost its accreditation if it does not expend its facilities. The budget commission's recommendations will be presented - shortly after the General Assembly convents, but Michaux said he doesnt think that there is a clear-cut (See MICHAUX Page SA)
