The three persons named in the suit filed by Hal T. Tudor, Sr., 65, are James K. Haley, executive director; David L. Thompkins, deputy director; and William H. Andrews the Housing Authority’s director of community services. Ervin Brown, one of three attorneys from the Legal Aid Society of Forsyth County who are representing Tudor, said in a Chronicle interview that according to federal regula tions there are two things which must be done before a person can be put out of his place of abode. “Before a person is asked to leave or vacate the premises, he must have an administra tive hearing and if after that hearing, the person is still found an undesirable tenant, the persons involved must go to the State Court and file a summary eviction proceeding. Brown said. “Then, the judge Holiday Weekend Calls For Safety RALEIGH — Edward L. Powell, Commissioner for Motor Vehicles, reminds Tarheel motorists that the four day Memorial Day weekend will begin at 6 p.m. Friday, May 28 and end midnight Monday, May 31. Last year during the four day period, 13 persons lost their lives and 658 persons were injured on North Carolina highways. During the Memorial Day weekend last year there were 1,127 traffic accidents in the State with 985 violations of the Motor Vehicles Laws. The leading causes of these accidents were failing to see safe movement and speeding. Commissioner Powell stat ed, “With schools closing and vacation periods beginning, we enter a time of extensive highway travel. This long holiday weekend and the enjoyable summer months ahead are very meaningful to all our citizens. If we commit ourselves to a safe driver attitude before we leave our homes, our travels can be both safe and enjoyable.” would ask the person to leave.” When contacted, Haley said he had not had a chance to fully look at the law suit and talk with the others named in the suit. However, he says he does not believe that Tudor was ever a resident at Crystal Towers. He also stated that there is a grievance procedure and a residents council at all of the public housing facilities and those members have some decisions about other tenants. But, before making any other statements, he would have to check with the council. He did state that of the more than 4,000 persons living in public housing facilities, there were very few evictions per year. “I don’t believe there were more than three last year,” he said. “And, since the incident in question occured last year. I’ve really got to check everything before making any more statements,” Haley said. Tudor alleges in his complaint that he along with several others have been evicted without notice or hearing and that it has violated their constitutional rights. Brown said in March of 1975, Tudor had entered into an agreement to reside in an apartment at Crystal Towers. He was a tenant there from March 28 until April 15. However, Tudor had not carried all his belongings there, and had left to visit relatives. And, when he came back to move all his belongings inside, Andrews, “threw him out” and said that Tudor was intoxicated. Brown said that Tudor insists that he was not intoxicated. He further stated that he had been advised by his doctors for nearly two years not to drink any alcoholic beverages. However, See SUIT, Page 2 Summer Jobs For Disadvantaged Youth The 1976 summer program for employment of disadvan taged youth has been announced by the North Carolina Office of Employ ment and Training. The funds for the program which were allocated under Title III of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA), were recently made available through an urgent supple mental appropriations bill passed by Congress. This Act which will fund a nationwide swine flu immunization pro gram, also provided money for summer youth programs and monies for an extension of some Title II CETA programs. Planning has already begun for the summer youth program with an emphasis on innova tive projects. Over $9 million has been allocated to North Carolina for the 86 counties administered by the Office of Employment and Training. The 16 Lead Regional Organizations which represent these 86 counties will be responsible for planning and implementing the programs as well as recruiting eligible applicants. Unemployed young persons from the age of 14 through 21 who are considered economi cally disadvantaged according to the established federal poverty guidelines will be eligible for the program. These young people can obtain enrollment applications from the Lead Regional Organization and in most cases from local school officials. The program is scheduled to begin in early June and continue for three months. Applications for enrollment will be made available about the middle of May.
