WASHINGTON (AP) President
Reagan, trying to build a foundation of
congressional support for politically
unpopular budget cuts, made an extra
ordinary trip to Capitol Hill Wednesday
to sell his case to Senate and House
leaders.
Today, he will begin his effort to sell
the program to the American public with
a televised speech to the nation. White
House press secretary James S. Brady
said the address was undergoing sub
stantial rewriting by the president.
As he returned to the White House
after the 75-minute discussion cn Capitol
Hill, Reagan said, "It was a good meet
ing, just to establish a base."
White House Deputy Press Secretary
Larry Speak es said the" president told the
lawmakers: "We're in a difficult situa
tion. We need the support of the Ameri
can people. We need the support of the
Congress."
The president has come under increas
ing pressure to assuage fears that his ef
forts to stem the growth of the federal
budget will not be made at the expense of
the poor and most needy.
Brady said the president, in formulat
ing his economic program, was trying to
"weed out the greedy to help the needy."
"No programs that are a safety net for
the poor, the indigent and the truly needy
are going to be eliminated," he said.
Senate Republican Leader Howard
Baker of Tennessee left the Capitol
meeting with Reagan saying, "I'm con
vinced the president will propose tax re
lief and spending cuts together." He said
Reagan left no doubt "there will be
linkage between a tax cut on one hand
and spending cuts on the other."
One congressional source, who asked
not to be identified, said the president left
the impression that his proposed 10 per
cent tax cut for individuals would be
retroactive to the first of the year.
Baker and Democratic Leader Robert
C. Byrd of West Virginia said Reagan
asked for a specific pledge of support on
only one point, a proposed increase in the
federal debt ceiling to cover current gov
ernment spending commitments.
On spending reductions, Byrd said,
"No specific cuts were discussed."
Baker and Byrd praised Reagan's over
ture to Congress. It has been rare that a
president has made the trip to the Capitol
to press for his programs rather than
calling congressional leaders to the White
House. The president was accompanied
by Treasury Secretary Donald Regan and
Budget Director David Stockman.
Both men said Reagan's economic .
speech tonight would deal in some
specifics of the administration's develop
ing economic package. Tonight's speech
is expected to be a broad outline of the
nation's economic woes and how the
economy got into its current condition.
Before his trip to the Capitol, Reagan

A biU that will begin to rearrange North
Carolina's 100 counties into 1 1 congressional dis
tricts is likely to be introduced in the N.C. General
Assembly today, legislators said Wednesday.
Orange County may find itself in a different poli
tical alignment when the process is completed late
this spring, if some of the redisricting plans
circulating now are adopted. -
"Most of them have Wake, Orange and Durham
counties in a district," said Rep. J.P. Huskins,
D-Statesville, chairman of the House Congressional
Redistricting Committee.
But Huskins emphasized that problems in
forming other districts may force the committee to
use one cf those three counties in another district.
Rep. Trish Hunt, D-Orange, said she hoped that
would happen.
"I would not like (putting Orange, Wake and
Durham in a district) at all," she said. "That would '
put Orange County at the mercy of two huge
counties."
Redistricting is necessary because preliminary
1980 census figures show that some districts haye
grown more populous than others in the last 10
years. ' i
For instance, the 4th District, which now includes
Wake, Durham, Chatham and Randolph counties,
has 42,243 or 8 percent too many people. But the
2nd District, which includes Orange and 1 1 relative
ly small counties, has 5 percent too few people.
The ideal district would have 531,101 people,
according to census figures.
Huskins said that a district composed of Wake,
Durham and Orange counties would be within 1
percent of that ideal.
But the available figures contain contradictions
that may not be resolved until April 1 and will delay
final redistricting until as late as July, he said.
Those figures show a state population 30,000
higher than the total of the individual county
counts.
"We're biding our time because we don't have
the (official) figures," said Sen. Helen Marvin,
D-Gastonia, chairman of the Senate Congressional
Redistricting Committee.
Until then, the Senate and House committees will
invite congressmen and state party chairmen to
express their opinions. Also, public hearings will be
conducted in the eastern and western parts of the
state as well as in Raleigh.
In past years, drawing congressional district lines
to ensure the election of Democrats was a common
practice, Huskins said. But recent court decisions
.have changed all that.
"Rather than being careful about what happens
to Republicans, we've got to be careful about what
happens to minorities," he said.
Court challenges could be raised on any redis
tricting plan on cither constitutional grounds or the
1564 Voting Rights Act, he said.
But Terry Sullivan, legal counsel for the
committee, warned that every redistricting plan
challenged in court had been rejected.
Calling a legal challenge a possibility, Marvin said
that the committees would record all their meetings
and prepare transcripts to serve as official records
should the final redistricting plan be forced into
court.

With elections less than a week away
with smiles by the dozen, the Elections
Board members have been busy caking
preparations for the Feb. 10 vote.
"We started working cn this before
Christmas break," . said Dent
Williamson, Elections Board executive
tion, but I think that everything is
running smoothly."
To make sure that the 1931 elections
ran wc.l, the 3" rr. emb er beard made
several clarifications this year in the elec
tion bhws. The major prctle that
plagued elections in the r"t was the
opening and" closing cf the pells,
m. turn m m
A aw. '
Williamson said. This year the, rules spe
cifically state that the polls open at 10
a.m. and doss at 7 p.m.
"If a poll opens late, then it will
remain open long enough to compensate
for the time lost," she said.
Williamson solicited the help of area
dorm governors, through the Residence
Hall Association, to recruit poll tenders
to decrease the problem of late
openings. -
Complaints in the past of polls
running out cf ballots have also been
cleared up, Williamson said. The board
had 8.G0Q ballots printed and a printer
will be cn standby Tuesday.
"I hope that the turnout is larger so
that we will need more ballots," she
To ensure that everyone has a chance
to vote, Williamson said absentee ballots
would be provided for students in the
infirmary, on field trips or for those who
would not be in Chapel Hill on election
day. These votes would be valid until 10
a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10.
"This is something that has not been
diligently taken care of in the post. We
hope we have a better outcome with
this," she said.
Williamson said she increased the
amount of publicity for elections this
year in hopes of generating a larger
student turnout. Announcements about
polling sites,, voting times and CGC
openings aired on WCHL and WXYC,
and a pre-election story is scheduled to
