Cannon Case
Bound Over
Seawell Says Klan Reports Locked Up
James H. Cannon, 33, of
Carrboro, charged with pos
sessing marijuana, was bound
over to Superior Court in a
preliminary hearing here Tues
day. Judge L. J. Phipps found
probable cause in the case in
volving Cannon, an employee
of the Operation Headstart
program. A $1,000 bond was
continued.
Cannon offered to plead
guilty to trespassing, a lesser
charg but this was rejected
by Solicitor Roy Cole.
He made this offer because
it was on the property of a lo
cal grading contractor, Ben
Bost, that Cannon was seen on
the evening of July 7, carry
ing a box. Bost told the court
that when he first saw Can
non that evening Cannon put
the box down and avoided an
swering questions about it.
When a car stopped by on the
road to pick Cannon up, Bost
refused to let him take the
box with him.

HOLIDAY
Former State Attorney Gen
eral Macolm Seawell told a
televised news conference
Monday night that reports of
the Ku Klux Klan have been
"marked confidential, put in
a bottom drawer and locked
up" by the State Bureau of
Investigation.
Appearing before WUNC's
"North Carolina News Confer
ence", he said that the "lock
ed up" reports might prove
the Klan is operating illegally
in North Carolina, but that he
is not charging SBI Director
Walter Anderson with sup
pressing information.
"I'm saying he's mared
reports , confidential and they
are not available to either the
Attorn 2y General's Office or
to the Law and Order Com
mittee." Seawell, who is chairman .
of the State Board of Elec
tions, recently resigned as
chairman of the Governor's
Law and Order Committee.
There was enough evidence
in the Law and Order Com
mittee's files to revoke the
Klan's certificate to do busi
ness in North Carolina when he
left the commutes, Seawell
said.
He said several times that
the State has sufficient evi
dence to ban the Klan on
'grounds that it is a secret po
litical and military society.
The Attorney General's Of
fice took a view contrary to
Seawell's in its opinion pres
ented to th3 Law and Order
Committee.
Seaswell have several ex
amples of the political secre
cy and military nature of the
Klan: He said there were af
fidavits of instruction in the
us 2 of explosives and evidence
of possession of weapons such
as military rifles and mach
ine guns.
He said tha Klan violated
its certificate as a non-profit
organization because it was
"politically motivated."
He said that although the
Klan is registerd as a non
profit organization, Klan of
ficials made profits from the
Klan activities through the
collection of money.
Seawell denied that he had

quit the Law and Order Com
mittee, because of any con

of the Klan. He said his dut
ies as counsel for a tobacco as
sociation required more of his
time.
Wh?n asked whether he
thought Governor Moore is
"soft" on the Klan, Mr. Sea
well replied, "No, I don't
think he is. His personality
and approach are different
from mine."
He said a case for revoca
tion of the Klan's certificate
had been sufficiently docu
mented by the Attorney Gen
eral's Office.
After th; documented case
was sent to the Law and Or
der Committec, it was re
turned to the Attorney Gen
eral's office for an opinion as
to whether the committee
should bring proceedings
against the Klan. When De
puty Attorney General Ralph
Moody received the Memo, he
ruled that insufficient evidence
existed.
"The Attorney general do
cumented the case, then they
shot down their own bird,"
Seawell said.
Commenting on Seawell's
charge, Tuesday, State attor
ney General Wade Bruton
said, "All the information in
th3 SBI files was turned over
to the Law and Order Com
mittee except names of infor
mants. For obvious reasons if
the names were revealed it
would cut off the source of in
formation." Later, Seawell suggested
that certain information pro
cured by the SBI may hot be
available even to the attorney
general.
Seawell was questioned at
the Monday night news con
ference by a panel of news,
men including Jay Jenkins,

Mrs. Sparrow Gets Award
For Outstanding Service
Student Government offici
als presented Mrs. Frances
Sparrow, director of the stu
dent activities fund office, with
an award expressing highest
appreciation for her outstand
ing service to Student Gov
ernment and to the student
body yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Sparrow has served as
fund director for at least 10
years, giving invaluable aid to
many school organizations.
With her staff of four she has
been responsible for maintain
ing continuity in the Student
Government budget, which
will exceed $200,000 this year.
Her office is responsible for
the treasuries of the Mens Re
sidence Colleges with their

the handling of their finances
to enable them to keep track
of their funds in a more effi
cient manner.
The award was a pen set
with "In Appreciation" set

North Carolina's Capes
Have Moved Eastward
Cape Fear once rose above
the Atlantic at Fayetteville,
according to a geologist at the
University of North Carolina
here.
Dr. William A. White says
the sandy soils of the coastal
plain suggest that area "emer
ged fairly lately from beneath
the ocean." Fairly lately, to
geologists, means within the
last 15 million years.
In his research White found
that capes continue to exist
in spite of receding seas.
Shoals off the capes are the
cause.
These shoals are made lar
gely of sand dumped in the
ocean by rivers and carried
southward by current. When
the current hits prominences
like the capes it is deflected
seaward, laying down the se
diment which forms the shoals.
Examples can be found near
all three North Carolina cap
es. Diamond Shoals are off
Cape Hatteras, Cape Lookout

who comes to UNC summer
school from a junior college
and does a great deal bet
ter than he did during the re
gular year, says Director of
Admissions Charles Bernard.
If below average students
attend a UNC summer session
hoping they can slide through
tin admissions office on the
merit of their summer school
work, the admissions office po
licy is working against them.'
"We don't l2t them enter
from summer school," Bern
ard said. "We don't average
our grades into the work of
another institution,", he added.
An 'A' in UNC summer school
cannot raise a 'D', in another
school.
Summer school has no way
of getting into the admissions
office "formula" which is
based on college board scor

grade averages and course
distribution..:
Frying Pan Shoals off Cape
Fear. ,
This is how off-cape shoals
are converted into capes, says
White:
"As sea level lowers, shoals
emerge as low sandy ridges
which become extensions of the
capes which started them. The
former capes become extens
ions of long coast - perpendi
cular ridges, such as the one
following N. C. Highway 87
from Fayetteville to Wilming
ton." "Thus," explains White, "the
original Cape Fear was at
Fayetteville."
Ridges formed by advanc
ing capes are important in
themselves. They form drain
age divides between major
streams flowing from the
Piedmont.
The ridges first come into
existence at the eastern edge
of the Piedmont. They extend
all the way to the coast, sep
arating the Tar River from the
Neuse, the Neuse from the
Cape Fear and the Cape Fear
from the Pee Dee.
