A moratorium on evictions
of tenants in some low rent
public housing projects?has?
been issued by the U.S.
Department of Housing and
Urban Development. Exactly
what projects across the
nation 4 and particularly in
North Carolina are affected by
the regulation has not been
determined. The reason cited
for the regulation is a severe
winter and high heating costs.

Charlene Roseboro said,
"No, there no justice in the
court system. I teel that the
people who are doing wrong
don't get caught, but most
blacks who are found guilty in
court are innocent. Most
blacks don't have the money
for a good lawyer to fight a
case. Blacks are victims of

"No, not really, there is
