shootings of 16 persons this year by Dallas police
officers was told by the city's deputy mayor that the
"best way to deter criminals is to hang someone
; from the courthouse steps."
Five blacks, four Hispanics and two whites have
; been killed at the hands of Dallas police since
I January, while two blacks and three Hispanics were
wounded. Last year, 29 persons were shot or killed
by the police.
Some members of the city's black community,
which has strained relations with the police department,
think white Deputy Mayor Jim Hart's
remarks were racially motivated. When asked to
retract the statement, Hart told the investigating
committee that convicted thieves should have their
; fingers cut off. ' . r .

ASHEV1LLE - Walter Mondale repeated his
pledge to fire President Reagan's appointees to the
U.S. Commission on Civil Rights during a campaign
trip here last week, promising to "restructure"
the commission and restore its independence.
There was speculation earlier in the week that the
Democratic presidential nominee was backing down
from a campaign promise to reappoint commission
members who had been fired by President Reagan
last year. Mondale aides had said that because Congress
had enacted legislation giving it authority to

Georgia settles employ
ATLANTA -- Georgia has settled a 10-year-old
federal complaint over employment practices,
agreeing to hire more blacks and women and pay
employment claims of up to $1.9 million.
The U.S. Justice Department filed suit against
'the state in 1974 after the federal Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission filed a complaint

Q: When my family and I lived in New York City,
our children could always count on a fire hydrant
being opened and a section of the street closed off
to cool them off and add to their summertime fun.
Can they look forward to that here in WinstonSalem?
A.K.

A: Sorry, but it's just not standard procedure in the
South to open up fire hydrants, says Tommy Peddycord,
utilities supervisor with the city utilities
department. He says Southern systems are basically
set up for water and fire use only. In the north, or
the larger metropolitan areas, the water supplies
usually have a reserve or dual storage system that
are housed underground.
In the South, and here in Winston-Salem, the
water supply is not half as large as New York's,
says Peddycord, and the cost of treating water is so

of the Dallas city council, describing an incident
during which she witnessed police beating a nonresisting
man for no apparent reason.
Sharpton said she asked questions at the scene
and attempted to telephone the city manager from a
pay phone, then returned to her car and began
writing notes. She said four or five police officers
then accosted her and that a senior officer wrote her
a ticket for 4'pedestrian in roadway."
Two days later Sharpton filed a complaint with
the police department and passed a polygraph test.
The city manager said that, while he didn't question
her honesty, the reporter didn't understand what
she was witnessing.
A list of 25 recommendation^ to e^tse tension bets

forwarded to the city council, which is expected to
act on them within the pext six months.

But Mondale himself said that he would seek to
change the law governing those appointments if he
were elected.
"I want to restructure the commission so that it
speaks independently again," he said. "It has been
converted from what it was for over 30 years, a
commission that literally spoke with respect because
it was seen as bipartisan and beyond the reach of
presidents, and thus could speak independent of the
political compulsions of the White House, into an
institution that's basically a front for the White
House.
"I'm going to change that so it can criticize me,"
he said.

Gov. Joe Frank Harris said the state took action
to correct discriminatory hiring practices several
years ago, but that "a settlement just never had
been reached." He said that the settlement with the
