Wins Vol. XIV, No. 13 U.S.P.S. t Jackson meets1 By The Associated Press ATLANTA - Presidential hopeful .jesse Jackson's high standing in the polls indicate his campaign is going well, and Jackson's support is solid and unaffected by what other candidates do, .says former President Jimmy Carter. But Carter said he doesn't plan to endorse any Democrats before the nominating convention in Atlanta next July. *Tlt make my own quiet preference and maybe give . better advice to some than to others," he said. Carter met with Jackson Wednesday and said the candidate has "innovative ideas that appeal to all elements." Carter made a similar statement after a recent meeting with U.S. Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois, who also seeks the Democratic nomination. Civic Ventures study planned By ROBIN BARKSDALE Chronicle Staff Writer * The Winston-Salem Board of Aldermen Tuesday night said that they must take the blame for any deficiencies in Civic Ventures and voted to undertake a study of the group's development. The aldermea said they would ask the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners to participate in the study of the three-year-old advisory group which makes recommendations to the city concerning economic development. The group had asked the aldermen to add six voting members to its board. The general committee forwarded the request to the full board with three in favor and one abstention. But East Ward Alderman Virginia K. Newell, who abstained in the committee meeting, aired her concerns to the board. "I believe that 28 persons on the board is enough ' to make any decision that needs to be made in the city," Mrs. Newell said. "I cannot believe that adding six bodies to the group is going to get any more done." Civic Ventures is an advisory committee composed of city and county citizens appointed by the board of aldermen, the mayor and the county commissioners. The group meets regularly to discuss economPlease see page A15 ^ ^ Alderman Vivian H.

Carter said Jackson's statements appeal to the farmer, the unemployed, and others who are in hard times andthat probably would outweigh the race factor. Earlier, Jackson told patients at the Veterans' Hospital in suburban Decatur that the United States has a strong military but weak policy. In his Veterans' Day speech, Jackson drew applause saying, "If we must fight, fight to win," noting that there are about 30,000 American troops in the Persian Gulf region who can fire only when fired upon. He said the troops "arc being looked at through the sights of American weapons sold illegally to Iran." Jackson said the gulf should be kept open by all of the nations with an interest in it, and he suggested the United Nations flag replace the U.S. Hag on foreign tankers. ~iMWFY BIRTHDAY!
