The Orange County Commission is the
most powerful political body in the area. It
appropriates money for health, welfare,
education, rural fire and police protection,
elections, manpower and public works.
Seven candidates have entered the
Democratic primary for the three seats on
the Board which are open this year. The
other two seats will be filled again in 1976.
Republicans are running only one
candidate for the Board. In the 1972 election,
they polled only 35 percent of the vote for
commissioner against two young
Democratic liberals.
Two of the seven are incumbents
Chairman Norman Walker, an egg farmer
from Caldwell, and Melvin Whitfield, a
dairy farmer from White Cross.
They are challenged by Tom Bacon, a
Hillsborough plumbing contractor. Norm
Gustaveson, director of the UNC YMCA for
10 years, Sam Holton, a UNC education
professorwho serves on the Chapel Hill
Carrboro Board of Education, Jan Pinney,a
country store owner from Calvander, and

The bill in the U.S. Senate race has come
to almost three-quarters of a million dollars
and continues to mount.
Reports filed in Raleigh pursuant to the
Federal Elections Campaign Act of 1971
indicate that Robert Morgan, Democratic
candidate, has spent far and away the most
at $348,000.
Republican candidate William Stevens
has spent the least, $5,236.
The other two major Democrats, Henry
Hall Wilson and Nick Galifianakis, have

Runoff primaries on June 4 may be
necessary for a number of the offices to be
voted on in the May 7 primaries. If a
candidate does not get a majority of the votes
cast, a second primary is held exactly four
weeks after the first.
It is expected that a second primary for
U.S. senator will be held. Other possibilities
include Orange County Commission, state
senator and the two Supreme Court seats. A
runoff for the Republican U.S. Senate seat is
also possible.
Persons who move between April 7 and
June 4 may continue voting at their old
polling place, as the registration list for the
May and June primaries are the same and no
changes are allowed.
Absentee ballots for the runoff are
available beginning May 10. Letters of
request should be addressed to Orange
County Board of Elections, Hillsborough,

spent $322,000 and $55,000 respectively.
The Federal Election Campaign Act
requires candidates for U.S. Senate, U.S.
House of Representatives and President to
file campaign finance reports, including
where the money came from for
contributions of $100 or more and
itemization of expenditures of $ 100 or more.
All lesser expenditures must be listed as a
lump miscellaneous sum.
The biggest part of Morgan's money,
$200,000, went for advertising, mostly
television and radio spots. Henry Hall
Wilson spent $35,000 on advertising.
Galifianakis invested only $14,000' in
advertising.
Political consultants took a bite out of the
campaign war chests. Morgan has paid his
consultants $38,000; Wilson, $23,000 and
Galifianakis has paid his consulting firm
from Boston $12,500 so far.
Morgan has leased an airplane to get him
around the state and Wilson rents one as it is
needed. Both have pilots on their staffs.
Galifianakis has leased a Winnebago
camper to drive him around North Carolina.
He calls it his "Folkswagon."
William Stevens, the front-running
Hardware and a member of the Chapel Hill
Planning Board.
The major issue in the race thus far is
county wide zoning. At present, only two of
the county's seven townships are under
zoning controls, and the county has come
under strong criticism from state health
officials because of: unsanitary sewage
conditions in trailer parks, and a
development threat to the University Lake
watershed which supplies Chapel Hill's
water.
Chairman Norman Walker says zoning
he most
Republican, has only token opposition and
as a result has spent only $5,236.
The money comes from various sources,
both small and large. Wilson and
Galifianakis have relied upon out-of-state
funds: Wilson from his associates in the
Chicago Board of Trade, Galifianakis on
five members of the Greek community in
Illinois.
Morgan requested that 700 of his
associates raise $ 1 ,000 each around the state.
He has had to borrow almost as much as has
been contributed so far to get his desired
$400,000.
Galifianakis said he may make it through
this campaign without borrowing.
Morgan has said he is having trouble
raising his last $100,000. Galifianakis hasn't
raised his first $100,000.
has not worked well, and opposes its
extension. He says he will support county
wide land use planning.
Gustaveson has called on the county to
extend planning and zoning. Pinney is the
only candidate to flatly support an
unconditional extension of zoning to all
townships.
Bacon favors some extension of zoning,
but says a referendum or series of public
hearings should come first. Spransy,
Whitfield and Holton all have said they
favor an extension of the county's planning
efforts.
The county recently reduced from eight
per acre to one per acre the maximum
number of trailers, but the restriction only
applies in the zoned townships.
Another issue is the extension of 1-40
through the Duke Forest area and eastern
Orange County, to connect Hillsborough
and Greensboro directly to Raleigh. Wa lk er
has twice voted for the road. Whitfield voted
against endorsement of the road while on the
Board.
Pinney, Gustaveson and Spransy have all
spoken out against the road, while Holton
and Bacon have not taken public positions
yet during the campaign.
Another issue during the campaign has
been the appointment of blacks, women, and
young people to the county's boards and
commissions. All candidates have said they
will try to expand representation on the
boards.
All of the challengers have said they will
not seek election as chairman if they win a
seat on the Board.
Several of the candidates have raised their
own issues in the campaign. Melvin
Whitfield, who lives just beyond the
University Lake watershed, has piaced
conservation of water resources as his
number one priority.
Gustaveson has strongly criticized the
fiscal management of the county
government, saying that a finance director
should be hired to take some of the burden
off of the county administrator. He has also
criticized the Board's failure-to release the
audit of the 1972-73 county budget.
Pinney has come out strongly for tax relief
for the poor. He has called the property tax
regressive, and says he will ask the general
assembly to enact a $10,000 property tax
exemption, putting more of the tax burden
on the wealthy.
Spransy has called for a careful review of
the county budget to cut out fat, and says
that new programs should be examined
critically because of the high tax rate.
Walker has stressed the importance of
decision makingat the local level, saying that
"local determination is the keystone of
American democracy."
Bacon has called lor the county to
forcefully seek out new clean industry which
will not contribute to pollution in the
county. He says the current lack of job
opportunities force young people to leave
the county.
Holton has indicated a desire for long
range planning in a number of areas, saying
that zoning is only a small part of the
planning process the commissioners must
engage in.
