April 1. 1981 The Daily Tsr Heel3 S i 1 T ft 0 & The AvsiKi'iiU'd Press RALEIGH- Vowing that the Nazi party will go underground and begin stockpiling weapons in the face of "in tense persecution," Harold Covington resigned Tuesday as president of the Na tional Socialist Party of America. " - Covington, 27, said ouIi:Je Nazi na tional headquarters n IJaleigh, that the March 2 indictment of six Nazis in Ashe-; ville showed that "the Reagan adminis tration is not playing by the rules." . The six Nazis are charged with plotting to bomb public areas in Greensboro in 1 the event of conviction in last year's trial of six American Nazis and Ku Klux Klans men in Greensboro. The Klansrnen and Nazis were acquitted of murder in the shooting deaths of five anti-Klan demon strators, and there were no bombings. "We had a contingency plan after Greensboro," Covington said. "We're jt.5t going to fc Je into the shado s be cause of the harassment and infiltration." .,.: Ccingtcn--' said ,the arrests of the six Nazis last month and the arrest of John YVarnock Hinckley. Jr., 25, on a charge ' of trying to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in Washington on Monday showed -that the government was "going to try to " "ban the Nazis, then going to try to ban guns. We're coming into a period of in tense persecution." ' He derided the arrest of the six Nazis t , , on the Greensboro conspiracy charges as being based on a "complete fabrication." . "We're net going to do anything il legal," he said. "We're juct going to urge our members to spend as much money as ' they can on weapons. We want to be ' ready."- Covington said ,Hinckley was a Nazi 4 fcr three to four months in 1979. Michael Allen of Chicago, president-elect of the .organization, also said Hinckley was ; W JL I t3 s i - -r"y '. TV 7T? i U fUJ It u ' f 1 S ! i i c l ; ( tl ill! i 7T J?

Why would he use a junk gun like a .22-caliber pistol when going after big game like the president?" IMlfMMifil W. f"Q fyi (TV fi T7 T! .... ii.,. .-. 77 Dy KATHERINE LONG Staff Writer Three proposals to lower or eliminate the minimum wage for teenagers were made to a congressional subcommittee last week, ' proposals which backers claim would lower unemployment. ; Ed Darrell, a staff member of the Labor and Human Resources Committee, said the purpose of the proposals would be to try to combat'the unemployment rate among people between the ages of 16 and 19, a rate which reached ,19.3 percent last month. "Every time the minimum wage goes up, it prices teenagers out of the job market," Darrell said. He said teenagers were caught in a cycle when those who needed skills to attain jobs would not be given the available jobs because they had no skills. "We'd like to break that cycle," he said. Darrell said a sum minimum wage would open up 300.000 new jobs. Charles Jef fress, N.C. assistant commissioner of labor, said he did not think any of the proposals would pass. He said the Minimum Wage Study Committee had released a preliminary report which suggested that there was no relationship between the minimum wage and the number of jobs created. ; Jef fress also said a lot of paperwork would be created for employers if the proposals were adopted. S' J ; Two of the proposals would lower the minimum wage by 75 ;and 85 percent of the present $3.35 an houfminimum wage, for six mdnths, for I6-to- 19-year-olds. : -Orvf ; -'C Major fast food chains, some of the, biggest employers of ; teenagers, would Benefit from a subminimum wage law. But . not all chains aire united behind the proposals, Joe Myers, director of compensation for Hardee's, said the t chain would employ more people if one of the bills passes. He said there were plans to add one person per unit, or about ' 1 ,200 new employees. Burger King spokesmen said that the chain was not in favor of the proposals and would not pay teenagers a wage below the present minimum -w'agV if any of the proposals passed. John Lawler, manager of meiia relations, said the chain was in favor of tax credits and cash bonuses instead of a lower wage limit. Officials at McDonald's national headquarters said the company had not taken a stand on the proposals, but a local McDonald's restaurant said they would not hire any new people. "We base how many people we need on the amountjof busi . ness we do," said Karen Patterson, manager of the Franklin ' ' Street restaurant. Caroline Laney, supervisor of the Chapel Hill office of the N.C. Employment Security Commission, said the bills would not warrant enough support to pass. She said she did not think a subminimum wage for teenagers would make a big difference in the economy. "It's definitely an employer's market," she ; said. "They can pick and choose." ' . Other officials agreed that the bills face tough op'position. National AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland, in opposition to ; the subminimum .wage, said it would create "discrimination oh the basis of age, encouraging school drop-outs and creating tensions in the work place." Other labor leaders also have come out against the proposals. , "It's not going, to be an easy fight," Darrell said. Action on the three proposals probably will be postponed until June because of Congress' heavy agenda, Darrell said. The bills also are waiting for the Minimum Wage Study Com- mission report in May. The Reagan administration has backed the idea of a lower minimum wage for teenagers, but will not back a specific proposal until the commission's report is released. The UNC-CH delegation to the North Carolina Student Legislature played a prominent role in the NCSL state session held last week, in which representatives from 17 North Carolina colleges and universities were in attendance. The NCSL, a nonpartisan organization composed of students from throughout the state, holds state sessions annually. This year's session, held from Wednesday to Sunday in Raleigh, was attended by 27 delegates from UNC and over 200 delegates from other schools. The annual sessions are structured in a fashion similar to state government, with executive positions and two legislative houses. UNC's delegation proposed two bills during the session. One called for redistricting North Carolina legislative districts on a one-man, one-vote basis; the other encouraged the use of metha nol, an alcohol fuel, in place of gasoline. While the latter was not adapted, the redistricting proposal passed in both houses. Leslie Saltzman a UNC junior who coordinated this year's session, said t&i bills' approved by the student legislature would be presented before the North Carolina General Assembly. The NCSL will emphasize three of 'their proposals in the hope that the state legislature will enact them into law. The three proposals targeted this year will be UNC's proposal of redistricting, pro-" posals to establish a foreign language requirement in public schools before the high school level and the creation of a man agement board to address the problems of hazardous wastes in the state. ' - ' .- -. . ' . " ' , ' Saltzman said when choosing resolutions of, importance," the NCSL placed emphasis on issues which students considered im portant for the state. .She said the resolutions adopted by the NCSL exemplified their commitment to issues which effected not only college students, but the entire state as we3. " ; ' Of the resolutions targeted by the NCSL, 40 percent' have been passed by the N.C. General Assembly over the past 44 years, said Cindy Eiddour, UNCdel-gition chairman, who was -elected as NCSL Lt. Governor during last wesk's session. ' . In addition to proposing the restricting tI3, UNC promi nence in NCSL was evident in the election of stste officers. In addition to Baddour's election as Lieutenant Governor, UNC freshman Lori Ann Bono was elected as secretary of state. Also, UNC freshman Keith Wcddingtcn was recognized as best speaker in the NCSL Senate, , : While NCSL delegates spent most of their tis&e proposing and debating legislation, both Gov. Jarr.es Hunt and former U.S. Vice President Walter Mcndale addressed the students. Mondale, considered a likely aspirant for the presidency in IS34 spoke before the NCSL Sunday morning, discussing the future role students will play irr politics. ' Mondale was in-Raleigh ' daring the weekend as part of a speaking tour, which included the appearance before the NCSL. i ! 1 "1 FoFiMer'IIM-'fiiiiliaooEcioF McHenry-td opeak' .

DEAN LOWMAN K By DIANE LUPTON Staff Writer Triangle Area Ride-sharing, a new pro-; gram started by the Triangle J Council of Government, will match by computer, riders and drivers who work for the same, or nearby, businesses. ; Cindy Kent, program assistant for Tri-A-Ride, said the program would probably begin computer use by late spring or early summer. Riders are now matched manu ally for the Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Dur ham areas. Kent said Triangle J had about 100 calls a month for ride-sharing infor mation. ; Tri-A-Ride will place signs along the road with a phone number (549-9999) to call for carpool information, Kent said, k "A staff member will take the caller's home and work addresses and phone numbers and try to match them with ojther prospective carpoolers on the computer . and then send the matched list to neigh bors who commute to the same v?ork area," Kent said. k The program will include advertising, marketing, van-pooling and personal ride-sharing services for employers, Kent said. Kent said ride-sharing is a growing trend in North Carolina.

Chapel Hill, ' Durham and Winston-S-Icni are scheduled to use it next. ,:- -The computerized carpooling system saves time in turnaround. Medv said.
