Keith- Carolina BusinauAtfwK 833-1 183 ' ' ; ' a Ueilera! appaalo court verceG4!9 conviction RICHMOND, Va. (AP) A federal appeals court Thursday reversed the convictions of the Vilmlr4t011 10, nine black men and one whits woman convicted of charges growing out of rack! violence in Wilmington in 1971. Civil rights groups long have maintained that the 10 were victims of racial injustice, and the case drew international attention to North Carolina's court system. London-based Amnesty International listed the 10 as political prisoners. "' The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the 10 all of whom have completed their, prison sentences or have been released on parole, were denied their constitutional rights when their attorneys were prohibited from attacking the credibility of two key prosecution witnesses. The most prominent of the 10, the Rev. Ben Chavis, said in Washington that the decision' was a victory for all Americans' and a sign that North Carolina should re-evaluate its court system. - '- " . " . .' ' We'd, I'm very happy that a court somewhere in the United States agrees with the 'Wilmington 10," he said. "We should . have never been convicted. Ve were totally innocent of those frame-up charges and had to suffer many years unjustly." Chavis, who is now director of the Washington office of the United Church of 'Christ's Commission for Racial Justice, added, "This action shows that North Carolinians should re evaluate their court system. I would hope that those who run the court system in North Carolina begin to render justice more equitably and more justly particularly when it comes to black people and other minorities." : Another member of the group, Joe Wright; ' said he was "jumping for joy" but was disapppointed that the decision did not come from a state court in North Carolina. "This is a decision that should have come from the first court we were in," Wright said. - ; : North Carolina Gov.

WASHINGTON (AP President Carter said Thursday he would veto a $9.1 billion appropriations bill because it included an amendment 'that would prohibit .the government from asking courts to order busing in school desegregation cases. ' "I cannot allow a law to be enacted which so impairs the government's ability to enforce our Constitution and civil rights acts," Carter said in a letter to Senate Democratic Leader Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia. "The precedent that would be established if this legislation became law is dangerous," Carter said. "It would effectively allow the Congress to tell a president that there are certain constitutional remedies that he cannot ask the courts to apply." The amendment, which was passed easily by both the House and Senate, was attached to a funding bill for the Justice Department and several other agencies. It would have barred government lawyers from asking courts for desegregation plans that call for busing children beyond the closest school to their homes. Carter's decision to veto the measure jeopardizes money to the departments of Justice, State and Commerce and the federal court system. - It was not clear whether Congress would attempt to override Carter's veto. Both the House and Senate are scheduled to hold their last sessions Friday. Both chambers, in anticipation of a veto, provided for money to keep the federal agencies operating by including funds in a continuing resolution that would provide money until the new Congress could pass another appropriations bill in January. But the resolution, already passed by the House and pending in the Senate, also contains the anti-busing rider. White House press secretary Jody Powell said Congress, could dispose of the matter. easily and without further delay simply by passing the resolution without the anti-busing rider. The resolution would provide up to six months of -stopgap spending in place of the $9.1 billion bill. Congress could not let the issue ride until the new Congress convenes in January because a continuing resolution under which the Justice Department and other affected agencies are getting funds expires on Dec. 15. The new Congress won't be seated until '. after Jan. 1. President-elect Ronald Reagan said he supported the anti-busing amendment. The anti-busing amendment would have barred the Justice Department from using the appropriated money "to bring any sort of action to Tequire directly or indirectly the transportation of any student to a school other than the 'school which is nearest the student's home." There would be exceptions for mentally or physically handicapped students who require special education. Powell said Carter actually would veto the measure Friday. The president said he recognized the difficulties that 'the veto would cause in terms of government operations, but said: "I would be shirking my constitutional responsibilities if I ' allowed this unprecedented and unwarranted encroachment on executive authority and responsibility to prevail. "Throughout my administration, I have been committed to the enhancement and strong enforcement of our civil rights laws," Carter wrote to Byrd. "Such laws are the backbone of our commitment to equal justice." . He said he had often stated his belief that busing should be used as a last resort in school desegregation, but "busing is not the real issue here." n 77 n 7 7. una ft-tr.-:-.: t:::v;::an to xzC-zz t; c.i t!:3 m!!r-.

The 10th defendant, Anne Sheppard Turner, was already out of jail. , '. . , The appeals court said in its ruling Thursday that the convictions were flawed on at least three grounds: . . - The failure of the prosecution to make available to the defense an amended pretrial statement of a key witness, convicted felon Allen Hall.

Concealment of favorable treatment of Hall, including accomodations at a luxury beach hotel and a visit by his girl friend, which might have induced his testimony favorable 'to the prosecution.

' For the s fifth consecutive year, sales representatives from American Market Associates are presenting their offers to UNC students. Yet Dorothy Bernholz, director of Student Legal Services, said American Market, whose subsidiaries assume as many as 14 different names, continued to make misleading promises to its customers.

"The question is why the company changes its name every time it comes into the community. Most companies trade on their reputation," Bernholz said! v?;:,; But a Multi-Industries sales representative, who refused to give her name, said in a telephone interview Thursday the name changes were made to meet federal regulatory sales tax purposes.

Af;;r the annet l:vl, more By KE3RY DEROail ' Suff Writer , A proposal to increase the student athletic fee was approved by the Athletic Council Wednesday. In a 4-2 decision the council approved Athletic Director John Swofford's proposed increase of $15 for next year but did not approve the proposed increase of $10 for the following year. Students currently pay $35 a year in athletic fees. This figure, which has net been increased in five years, i3 the lowest in the 16-campus University system and the second lowest in the Atlantic Cca:t Conference. "I don't guess fee increases are something any of us cherbh, but I'm afraid they are a fact of life," Swoffcrd said. "It's scary to us where we could be going in our athletic program." Swofford "said the fee increase would help alleviate a projected deficit of $365,390 in the operating budget of the Athletic Department for next year. This operating budget covers items such as travel expenses, staff salaries and equip- ' ment costs. Becau;e the increase would not totally eliminate th; projected deficit, Swofford said adiliianil cuts in expenses would have to be rr.cde. The department also will have to ke:p maxi mizing alternate forms cf getting money, he said. Merry raised by the herer.e would be used for the nen-revenue sports, Swofford said. The vcrJty football team and the men's varsity basketball team would net receive try of the fjr.Js because they are self-supporting. Carolina Athletic Association Presi dent Charlie Brown said he recognized the need for an increase in the fee but would rather it was phased in over a period of years. "The problem is that it should have been done a couple of years tzo so that the burden would heve teen erree j out," Brown said. "Now, ur.lef-s students want to rut cut scrr.e cf the srerts, there is no ether way but an increase." Ahheugh the council did net approve Swofford's recommendation fcr a subsequent Increase of $10, it recommended that the budget projections be reviewed each year.
