Young led the field of seven candidates, four whites and three blacks, with 41.4 of the votes in the October 7 primary election.; Marcus receiv ed the second largest r o - - Wltn 3QAvlt. ' Young had been slated to win ? the ?f election; however, a last minute surge of support for former Atlanta police and Marcus' last minute popularity among, black of high socio-economic income level, prevented. margin needed to win the election. a Marcus had predicted a victory in the race in the 'event that he could gather enough votes to compel a run-off bet 1 ween him and Young. But the fact that. Eaves received 16.1 from voters who favor a black mayor,' and in the event that these voters return to the polls on October 27, political strategists are predicting a victory for Young. ' Eaves originally in dicated that he, would throw his support to Young. But he later rescinded and presently has not declared his sup port for either Young or . Marcus. - - Both Murcus and Young ha' '.! met with Enves to secure his sup- irf vita! programs Rev.

Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachussetts called the, budget cuts "im moral"; Representative Shirley Chisholm df New . York emphasized that "an election victory is not a license to steal from the poor and give to the rich." Senator . Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio accused the ad ministration of "turning the clock backwards in every Department of Justice action in which it 1 is involved." The" attack oh the budget cuts of the cur rent administration was , a common theme of the ! distinguished church leaders who addressed PIE participants and challenged v them ' to spiritual, . educational, economic and social ac tion... In Thursday evening's main . address, Bishop John 'Hurst Adams of the AME. Church, . Washington, D.C, said that while "the centrality ' and influence of the black church in the com- munity may be waning it : is still the .biggest, best ' and has the most poten tial resources . available for such a time as this."
