""" Due lo U. S. Justice De-"
fartment regulation!, the
oicign ; correspondents could
not travel to; many places in
North Carolina4 to conduct
their investigation ,; into the
case. Rev. Ben Chaws' eel
at McCain Prison was too close
ttf the Fort Bragg Military
complex and to Wilmington,
N.' C. Solton said the restric
tions were not imposed simply
for the Wilmington investiga
tion but were standard, Some
times, the, correspondent said,
he is closely watched while
conducting interviews.
The resurgence of federal
government interest in the
Wilmington 10 case and by the
Soviet press comes at a time
when President Carter and his
administration have been very
critical of the Soviet Union for
imprisonment of what the
Carter administration calls,
"Soviet dissidents." Solton
said the issue of treatment of
"Soviet dissidents" was part of
a campaign by the right wing in
the U. S. to prevent develop
ment of good relations
between the two cpuIrie&
particularly in concluding the
strategic arms limitation talks
(SALT). '.' ?
Solton said that the ques
tion of treatment of what the
administration calls "Soviet
.dissidents" should be put in
the perspective that, "They are
criminals under our law."
Solton said there are' many
inconsistencies in the U. S.
claim to support human rights
land in the U. S. support for
military regimes in Chile,
South Korea, and Uruguay
where human rights are re-,
pressed.
Solton said that since
Watergate the coverage of
American life has intensified in
the Soviet press, and that the
Soviet people are made aware
on a continuing basis of the
various aspects of life in this
country.

Mrs. Cecelia "Pinky" Davis
was awarded the Outstanding
Educator's Award which was
presented to her at an Awards
Banquet sponsored by the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro Jr. Cham

ting person. She is a social

tributing factor toward the
maintenance of good re
lationships amoung students
and staff and toward the
development of excellence
in the Phillips ' School pro
gram as a whole.
Mrs. Davis has been noted
as one of the most effective
teachers in establishing a work
ing rapport with students, re
sulting in her classes being
highly motivational, and has
been, instrumental in further
ing the programs with her
imaginative ideas and her
persuasive leadership.

and we can see them here
on this campus."

A recently completed study of
functional illiteracy has shown
a vast difference in the reading
ability of non-white (black and
Native Americans) and ' White 1
people In North Carolina. The
study", covering a three-week
period last . August, ' 1 is aii
analysis of oral and written
licensing of drivers in the
state by applicant's age, race,
sex, type of application (ori
ginal or renewal) and perfor
mance on the test.. ' i ji
Until the study was un
dertaken the only recent mea-,
sure of literacy in the state was
the number of persons who
had completed eight- years'
schooling. The study was
conducted by University of
North Carolina Highway Safety
Research Center researchers
Patricia F. Waller and Robert
C, '.Halt at the request of
State Senator McNeil Smith.
Smith has indicated further
investigation and educational
programming is needed in this
area.
All drivers in North Caro
lina must be licensed by state
examiners who administer
written and oral tests. The.oral
test is used when the examiner
detects" that an applicant is
having trouble reading the test
or when the applicant indicates
that he or she does not read
sufficiently well to complete
Jhe exam. v
Ah example of r race can
be seen by the more than
double (13.5 per cent) of non
white males who were adminis
tered the oral exam and passed
compared to" only 5 per cent
of white males . who could
not read well, enough to take
the writtert test . ; a
Fewer percentages of
white and black females took
the ' oral exam but again 3.6
per cent of white females
could not read well enough to
take ' the written exam com
pared to 7.1 per cent qf the
black females. The passing rate
fcr white female applicants was'
66 on the oral exam compar
ed to 43 of black females.
A most ' depreesing : indi
cation of the effect of the high
sdiool drop out rate upon the
ability of applicants to read
well enough to take the
written exam also shows, a
marked difference in- the
reading ability of blacks and
whites. Compulsory school
attendance is not required after
age 16.

GREGORY ENDORSES ABERNATHY
'..' - .:'.:.) '' ;. ,'' ' " ' .
ATLANTA, GA. - Human1 rights activist and comedian
Dick Gregory strongly endorsed Rev. Ralph David Abernathy's
campaign for Georgia's Fifth U S. Congressional District Seat,
which was vacated by Ambassador Andrew Young, last week
while in Atlanta campaigning for Dr. Abernathy. The non
partisan special election will take place in Atlanta on March 15.
Gregory said "With Ralph Abernathy in this campaign, all
other candidates should drop out. I would if I were in it,
because Ralph Abernathy can best represent jiot only this
District, but he has over the years, shown he represents ALL
people. His election to Congress would put a "people's man" -one
who can and will, speak out against injustice, anywhere at
any time into a too often constipated Congress.,
