Wilmington 10 Loses Support The Wilmington 10 have lost support from the Just ice Department says the United Church of Christ Commission for Racial Justice. According to the Com ruBsion, it recently re ceived word from Wilming ton 10 defense attorneys that the Solicitor General’s office has decided not to file a Friend of the Court brief with the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of the Wilmington 10. ‘‘I find it difficult to understand how the Justice Department could adopt a stance totally contradict ing their 1978 findings which revealed a lack of due process in the trial..." according to Dr Charles Cobb, executive director of the Commission. When the Justice Depart ment in November, 1978 filed a Friend of the Court brief with the Federal Dis trict Court of North Caro lina, Cobb said, the Depart ment protested the trial was unfair to the 10 defend ents. The Solicitor General’s recent action contradicts the Department’s prior findings, Cobb said. “How can constitutional violations which the Just ice Department pointed to in 1978, no longer be pre sent in 1980?”, Cobb asked. The question of why the issue is being dismissed has yet to be publicly explained. More Turkey Production Is Forecast North Carolina continues to set a fast pace in the expansion of its large and growing turkey industry. More growth is forecast for 1980. expressed an intention to increase production 12 per qttpt this year. That would place total output at around 26 million turkeys. The state is the second largest producer of turkeys in the U.S., with a total production last year of 23.1 million. If intentions are realized, there will be a slight in crease in heavy breeds and a substantial increase in light breeds. CENSUS QUESTIONS are answered by filling in the appropriate circle with a pencil or simply writing in a word or two. All individual census answers are kept confidential, by law, even from other government agencies. Census Information Will Be Kept Confidential By Susan Ellworth Post Staff Writer The 1980 census worries some people. Will they lose government benefits if they answer certain questions? In efforts to dispel myths about the census, The Charlotte Post will present a two-part series providing an overview of the census. When the questionnaires arrive my mail on March 28, recipients will answer the questions and either mail the forms on April 1 or hold them for a census taker to pick up, depending on instructions. In 90 percent of the na tion's households people will answer the questions by themselves and mail the forms in postage free en velopes. Census takers will obtain the information from households that don’t return the questionnaires. me oiner iu percent, which will wait for the census takers to collect the forms, are mostly in sparsely settled areas in the western half of the - nation.— All information is kept confidential. In the 50 year history of the census con fidentiality law, not once has the Bureau or its em ployees been charged with releasing information—_ about any individual, ac cording to U.S. Depart ment of Commerce find ings. Landmark court rulings have upheld the Bureau's refusal to release this in formation, even to top government officials or corporations. Names, addresses and telephone numbers are not entered in computers and Social Security numbers are not requested by the census. Curiosity is sparked sometimes about why cer tain questions are asked Why are questions about plumbing facilities asked, for example? For decades plumbing facilities have been a key indicator of housing quality. Adequacy of plumbing helps deter mine which communities receive Federal housing assistance funds. As importance ot census information has increased. so has pressure to assure all residents are counted, especially the minorities Some innovative me thods will be used to secure an accurate count, such as re-checking households re ported vacant and placing census takers in all-night movies, taverns, and on street corners -in major urban areas to find the uncounted i ne Bureau is required 10 provide the President with population totals for all states by Jan. 1, 1981 for Congressional reappoint ment A new law mandates that the population of cities and counties be given to each state by April 1, 1981 for redrawing district lines.
