Koocrt j. Brown witnarcw nis name Monday from
consideration for nomination as the first black U.S.
ambassador to South Africa, saying family considerations
led to his decision.
"It's been hectic and very painful ... for myself
and my family," Brown said at a news conference
outside of his business. "I'm not used to the
limelight as such. I have avoided publicity most of
my life - all of my life.... It is nothing that I seek. I
didn't seek this and I won't be seeking any publicity
in the future."
Brown, 51, thanked President Reagan and
Secretary of State George Shultz for considering
him to succeed Ambassador Herman J. Nickel,
"We regret that he has withdrawn his name from
consideration," presidential spokesman Edward
Djerejian said in Washington.
On Wednesay, when Brown went to Washington
.to begin processing for the post, he said he would
accept if it were offered. But The Washington Post
reported Sunday that Brown's proposed nomination
was dropped after a White House meetms late

? i .
In summers past, it had been
the Winston Lake Park's
headache. This year it belongs to
merchants in or near the East
Winston Shopping Center, where
young people with little else to do
gathex-in^pftrking lots, sitting on
top of cars, drinking, socializing
and playing loud music.
Besides bothering customers
and disturhinff the neace. sav
merchants, the youth also litter
the lots with broken bottles and
trash and sometimes vandalize
property.
The problem has gotten so
bad, said Wilbert T. Jenkins,
manager of East Winston Shopping
Center, that he is seeking an
ordinance from the Board of
Aldermen allowing him to post
no-parking signs in the center's
lot after business hours.
"Kids are parking in the lot
after hours, mostly on the
weekend," Jenkins said. "They
like to come in and turn (heir
radios up and go to the fast-food
places and throw the trash in the
parking lot.
"They're also drinking on the
premises, and instead of throw inn

breaking them.'* he said, 'it's
causing us a lot of additional cost
and aggravation in terms of trying
to maintain the lot."
Jenkins said he is seeking the
ordinance to give the police
greater enforcement power.

but not as many as there are now.
Most of the youth that come to
his lot used to gather in Winston
Lake Park, Jenkins said, but a
police crackdown in the area prompted
them to find another spot.
"I don't know whether it will
totally solve the problem,"
Jenkins said of tilt 'Ordinance.
"We don't want to have to go to
any additional means and expense.
And that's what we're
