Greensboro police arrested two more suspects
Sunday and charged them with conspiracy to
commit murder in connection with a shooting
' spree Saturday at a Communist-sponsored anti
Ku Klux Klan rally which left four
demonstrators dead and 10 wounded.
Capt. James Milliard said 12 other suspects
had been arrested Saturday and charged with
first-degree murder, and police were searching
for at least one more suspect early today.
At least two persons and two vehicles escaped
Saturday from the residential area where armed
whites peppered a crowd of more than 100
persons attending a "Death to the Klan" rally
sponsored by the Communist Workers Party.
Meanwhile, members of the CVVP from across
the nation vowed Sunday to avenge the deaths of
four party members possibly with another rally
in Greensboro next Sunday.
Charles Finch of the Communist Workers
Party headquarters in New York City formerly
the WorkarsV Viewpoint Organization said
from the party's Durham headquarters Sunday
night that the national organization would
decide in the next few days where memorial
services for the slain party members would be
held.
. "Nothing is definite yet, but there definitely is a
memorial being talked about around the
funerals," Finch said. "A march on Greensboro
may be possible, but we aren't sure yet."
James Howerton, an assistant to Greensboro
City. Manager Tom Osborne, said Sunday that
the city would not issue any permits for parades
of marches in the city until the city feels the
incident has been brought under control,
"probably a couple of weeks."
Li oca I Kla n he ads de ny link w ith atta c k,
Howerton said although the city had not
officially heard any mention oi a possible repeat
rally next Sunday, they were not ruling out the
possibility.
"There is a distinct possibility that there will be
a large influx of people this weekend no matter
what we do." Howerton said. "We're hoping
things will remain calm but we really don't
know"
Police identified the dead as Sandy Smith of
Piedmont, S.C.. a black woman, and Jim Waller,
William Sampson and Cesar Cauce, all of
Greensboro and all white demonstrators. Finch
identified the four as CWP members.
Rayford Milano Caudle. 37. of Winston
Salem, was the 13th person arrested in the case,
according to police.
Claude M. McBride Jr. 1 6. of Winston-Salem,
was arrested Sunday night and was also being
held without bond in the Guilford County jail in
Greensboro on one charge of conspiracy to
commit murder.
Harold Covington of Raleigh, state unit
commander of the National Socialist Party of
America, said the jailed Roland Wayne Wood
was the Forsyth County unit leader for the Nazi
Party. Covington said the other 1 1 jailed men
r
were "White-rights advocates." some of horn he
said were klansrnen. Police had said earlier that
all 12 persons originally arrested were Klan
sympathizers.
Finch and other CWP members at a news
'conference in Greensboro Sunday night blamed
the attack on government officials and the Klan.
"We are not dealing primarily with the Klan in
this thing." said Nelson Johnson, another
organizer of the 'Death to the Klan' rally. "We
are dealing with the state, the government and
the capitalists." Johnson was wounded in the
gunfire.
Party members and state civil rights leaders
Sunday criticized the performance of the
Greensboro police force during the incident.
Several civil rights leaders demanded an
independent investigation of the police
department. "As soon as that Klan convoy
entered the area in which the marchers were
organizing, it should have been evident to the
police that violence was the intention." said

The bloodbath at an anti-Ku Klux Klan rally in
Greensboro was a natural outgrowth of unabated
recent Klan violence, Southern civil rights leaders
say, calling for an immediate federal inquiry.
. Over the past 18 months, the various
organizations operating in the guise of the Hooded
Order have become increasingly militant, inciting
violence reminiscent of the mid-1960s in Decatur,
Ala., Tupelo andOkolona, Miss., and Selma, Ala.
There are conflicting reports about whether
Saturday's assault on a "Death to the Klan" rally iri
Greensboro that left four dead and 10 wounded
was the work of the KKK. Some leaders of the local
klaverns groups in the area said they had nothing to
do with it.
Two different Klan leaders said Sunday the
ambush was the work of Nazis, but there was no
proof of that either.
Nonetheless, Greensboro police said at least
some of the 12 men jailed on murder charges all
from towns outside of Greensboro admitted they
were embers of the Klan. and civiPrights
organizations want something done about the
resurgent nightriders. .

The United Food and Commercial
Workers International Union, which is
picketing A&P grocery stores in Chapel
Hill and across the state, will file charges
against A&P today with the National
Labor Relations Board in Winston
Salem, Tony Muncus, president of union
Local 525, said Sunday.
Muncus said the UFCW, which
combines statewide Local 204 of the retail
clerks' union and Local 525 of" the
meatcutters union, will charge the
supermarket chain with an unfair labor
practice for threatening to fire any
employee who went on strike. "
The walkout across the, state and in
several stores in South Carolina began
Sunday after contract negotiations,
between A&P and the UFCW broke
down late Saturday.
"The issue at stake here is not money,"
said Joe Tucker, business agent for Local
204. "What we want is job protection.
Union employees have been working
without a contract since Oct. 20, when
their ' previous three-year contract
expired. The UFCW told A&P it would
enter two weeks of federal mediation
before going on strike. When no
agreement was reached, the union went
on strike at midnight Sunday.
Union workers claim the A&P contract
would allow the company to downgrade
the status of full-time workers to part
time, eliminate seniority and possibly
affect pension benefits.
I know of at least 50 people in Local
204 ranging in 1 1 to 29 years with the
company who have been reduced to part
time service," said Gene Burris, a union
field assistant in Durham.
Muncus said the union will continue to
strike and picket until an agreement is
reached or a ruling is handed down by the

If the Chapel Hill Town Council race follows the predictions of
most local political figures, it is likely the new council, much like
the present one, will face internal conflict on some key issues.
Among the candidates for the four seats to be filled in
Tuesday's election, there are two incumbents Jonathan Howes
and R.D. Smith the current mayor, James Wallace, and three
newcomers Joe Herzenberg, Joe Straley and Bruce Tindail.
An analysis
Local politicians have said Howes and Wallace are considered
likely winners. Herzenberg, who is chairman of the Chapel Hill
Historic District Commission, has been a longtime follower of
the council and is regarded as a strong candidate, with
widespread support.
But it is expected that Smith, who has been on the council for
14 years,. Straley and Tindail will scramble for the one remaining
seat.
During the campaign, lines have formed among the
candidates, and the debates have often reflected a split between
the incumbents and the challengers. But at times Smith has
shifted his position and sided with Herzenberg. Tindail and
Straley.
At the center of the disagreements among the candidates is the
issue of Chapel Hill's cooperation with Orange County and how
far such cooperation should go. As in the mayoral race, the
question over a planning district extension for Chapel Hill has
been the source of most of the debate.
At one end of the spectrum is Wallace, who throughout his
tenure as mayor has been an outspoken advocate of an extension
in the Chapel Hill planning district. Wallace has never been
hesitant to insist that the town, not the county, has planning
control over the rapidly growing northern entrance of town.
Wallace's demands for the "line" and his fear that developers are
"leapfrogging" ahead of planning has colored many council
meetings and recent candidates' forums.
Howes often shares Wallace's views, and the case of the
planning extension is no exception. But Howes focus has been
different and his approach more conciliatory. He has served on
the town-county committee which is studying the prospect of
joint planning. While Howes urges cooperation in the planning
process, he says he believes a Jine should be drawn between the
county and the town districts in the north.
On the planning extension issue, Herzenberg, Straley and
Tindail have all expressed their support for jointly planning the
area with the county.
Herzenberg has criticized the present council's "arrogance" in

Terrapins head over Heels
By BILL FIELDS
Assistant Sports Editor
COLLEGE PARK, Md. Given that Saturday was a day
that featured a frisky dog trying to dance with the band and
run with the players, and a fellow in a turtle suit chasing the
mutt, no one should have expected the Maryland-North
Carolina game to end in a normal fashion-
At halftime, the folks who created Kermit the Frog and
Miss Piggy were honored as well, and there were
44 terpmobile" circling the Byrd Stadium turf during
Homecoming Day festivities, giving the 35,618 on hand more
than an oblong ball to watch.
Rover, the Terrapin mascot and the Muppet man by all
rights, shouldn't have had to be on the edge of their seats--or
the dog's "case leash in the final seconds.
Maryland's 17-14 win, which virtually eliminated UNCs
hopes of an Atlantic Coast .Conference title, could have been
bigger. A 14-0 Terp halftime lead could have been larger had
their offense been a bit more opportunistic.
On the North Carolina side of things, failure to convert key
third-down plays and the defense's inability to -stop the
Terrapins in similar situations, forced the final seconds to be
crucial.
Down 17-14 with 1:21 remaining, after Maryland's record-,
breaking place-kicker Dale Castro had booted a 43-yard field
goal moments earlier, the lar Heels began their last drive
from the UNC 20.
Three running plays and two incomplete Matt Kupec
passes later, UNC split end Jeff Grey corralled a Kupec pass
on the Maryland 44. Thirty-three seconds remained. Kupec
then missed Grey on two successive tries.
Using fullback Billy Johnson up the middle on a trap play,
as they had done frequently all afternoon, the Tar Heels
moved to the 29 on a 1 5-yard blast. After missing Grey on the
next pass play with 15 seconds left, Kupec connected with
Johnson for an 8-yard flair pass. It was third-and-two from
the Terp 21; six seconds left..
UNC coach Dick Crum called time out, and Kupec went to
referee C.C. Dailey telling him Carolina wanted the clock
stopped as soon as the next play was over. Kupec wasted his
breath.
With Kupec looking for Amos Lawrence on a flag pattern
down the left sideline and flanker Wayne Tucker on the other
side, the Maryland secondary covered the deep men well.
Kupec dumped the ball off to Johnson, the safety valve.
Johnson, who had 118 yards rushing, took a couple of steps
and went out of bounds. Time expired with Johnson at the
14.
"When the guy's out of bounds, you're supposed to stop
