Salem tg the Winston-Salem Community Sine WINSTON-SALEM. N.C. Th District At Disappoint 9y RUTHELL HOWARD Staff Writer Black leaders say they were disappointed but lot surprised that District Attorney Donald K. risdale's choice to fill a vacant assistant prosecutor's post in his office is a white male. The graduating Wake Forest University law student will join the rest of Tisdale's all-white staff provided he passes the North Carolina bar exam this summer. ??? When former Assistant District Attorney Joseph Gatto was recently appointed to the Forsyth County District Court bench, some black leaders saw the vacancy as an opportunity for the district attorney to improve his frayed relationship with the black community by appointing a black assistant. But Tisdale, who is a Democrat, told the Winston-Salem Journal last week that he has already chosen the as yet unnamed white mar as Gatto's replacement. "Mr. Tisdale is continuing his pattern of ig noring the black community," says Earlin* Parmon, vice chairman off the Democratic Par ty's executive board.

"I doubt that he will :hange his mind. 1 am disappointed, yes. But it )ehooves us as blacks to keep on top of these hings and make sure we monitor any other vacancies that come up." But at least two black attorneys say that most Dlack lawyers do not want that kind of position. "It would be difficult to fill any DA's office with any blacks," says attorney Michael Grace. Grace says he has been offered the posit ion jin the past, and was offered the current opening, but turned it down. "People assume that some blacks want to do that. I don't know of any who do," Grace says. Grace savs that orosecuting is a "frame of mind" and that it's a difficult job for blacks in Forsyth County because there are so many black people going through the courts. "You have to make some very tough decisions," Grace says. "You have to make some enemies, and you have to hurt some friends." Grace says people were concerned about hav- * ing a black assistant DA, but he doesn't know ^ of any blacks who showed interest in the job. "It's tough to live here and function here and be a DA," Grace says. *' Please see page AS ansferred " to discuss the situation further and Holloway and Steele refused to discuss their transfers or to comment on the situation. Members of the Friends of the East Winston Library, a support group for the branch, say they are upset. "It's puzzling me at this moment," said J.C. Simpson, president of Friends. "There is concern about Mrs. Allen being moved." Simpson said he learned of the transfers from teen-agers who frequent the library and asked him for an explanation. "The children were asking me about the changes," he said. "1 was shocked. There was no warning." Having worked with Allen and the library, Simpson said he was disappointed.
