retire in July 1985 but agreed to stay
when board members said they needed
more time to find a replacement. He
has been president since 1956.
Mandatory sprinklers will be studied by committee
By BETH OVVNLEY
Staff Writer
Sprinkler systems may be required in
the future for Carrboro businesses and
multi-family residences, depending on
the findings of a soon-to-be formed
committee.
Carrboro Fire Chief Robert Swiger
said he wrote a memorandum a few
months ago to Carrboro Town Man
ager Bob Morgan asking the board of
aldermen's permission to seek legisla
tion from the N.C. General Assembly
requiring such sprinkler systems. Mor
gan and Swiger decided to create the
committee because they believed citi-

zens needed to be involved in this
process.
Swiger said he wanted a mixture of
people on the seven-member commit
tee, including a resident, a builder, a
manager and an insurer of multi-family
dwellings.
The committee's duties will include
finding ways to offset the costs of
sprinkler systems. The committee will
also decide whether builders should be
allowed lighter construction require
ments in exchange for installing
sprinklers.
Sarah Williamson, Carrboro town
clerk, said committee members had not
been appointed, but several people had
written letters expressing interest in
serving on the committee, although
there isn't widespread interest yet.
Swiger said the idea did not receive
a good response when the committee
was first advertised. "We re-advertised
and got the local media, including The
Durham Morning Herald and The
Chapel Hill Newspaper to help get the
committee together," he said.
Swiger said that North Carolina was
in the "Burn Belt," which is composed
of southeastern states.
In the Burn Belt, "more lives are lost
in fires on a per capita basis than in
other states," he said.
Citing national statistics, Swiger said
that 80 percent of fire deaths occurred
in residential properties. Of these
deaths, 20 to 30 percent occurred in
multi-family dwellings. Swiger said the
Carrboro Fire Department responded
to 202 calls in 1984, which resulted in
one death and $187,000 in damages.
"There has never been a life lost in
a building fully sprinkled, if the system
was working properly," Swiger said. He
added that sprinkler systems are 98.6
percent effective and that the 1 .4 percent

of error occurred because of poor
maintenance, including frozen pipes
and valves that had been turned off.
Swiger said the N.C. Chiefs' Asso
ciation and the State Fire Commission
had discussed proposing legislation to
require sprinkler systems. "I would like
to see it (sprinkler systems) become a
trend," Swiger said. If Carrboro got an
ordinance requiring sprinkler systems,
it might be a little easier for other towns
to follow, he said.
In Chapel Hill, every building over
50 feet must have sprinkler systems. In
addition, the town recommends
sprinkler systems for anyone who is
building.
Everette Lloyd, Chapel Hill fire chief,
said every house and every apartment
should have a sprinkler system. Lloyd
gave his support to Carrboro 's decision
to move toward requiring sprinklers.
"It's the only real way to protect
buildings from fires," he said.
Swiger said he hoped the committee's
report would be finished by March. The
Carrboro Board of Aldermen will then
ask the state legislature to approve an,
amendment to the state building code
which would allow Carrboro to adopt
an ordinance requiring sprinkler systems.

Sanford to vie for Party chair
From staff and wire reports
RALEIGH - Duke University
President Terry Sanford declared his
candidacy Saturday for the position
of chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, urging Demo
crats to adopt new ideas.
"The New Deal has run its splen
did course. New thinking for new
direction is the Democratic Party's
opportunity," he said.
Sanford said he would try to
rebuild the traditional Southern base
of the Democratic Party and over
come divisive special interests.
"The Democratic Party cannot do
without a strong base in the South,"
he said. "IVe never been a regional
person. I've been accustomed to
doing things from a nationwide point
of view."
Honduran, Salvadoran aid up
WASHINGTON Honduras
and El Salvador have replaced the
United States as key sources of aid
to Nicaraguan rebels, according to
Reagan administration officials and
members of Congress.
They said Israel had also increased
its aid to the rebels, providing more
weapons and advice.
Although the three countries
began . assisting the rebels several
years ago, the level of their support
and its importance to the insurgents
increased as assistance from the
United States diminished and even
tually ended during 1984, the Amer
ican officials said.
The support has raised questions
in Congress on whether American
arms and other supplies sold or given
to Honduras, El Salvador and Israel
are being diverted to the Nicaraguan
rebels. That is barred by both foreign
aid legislation and a specific ban on
American aid to the rebels.

Missile accident investigated
HEILBRONN, West Germany
U.S. Army experts Saturday began
their investigation of how the motor
of an unarmed Pershing 2 missile
ignited, killing three American
soldiers and sparking a new political
furor over the rocket deployment.
Two groups of American investi
gators a 15-person team from the
army's U.S.-based Missile Com
mand and another from the U.S.
Army Safety Center at Fort Rucker,
Ala. arrived in Germany to study
Friday's accident. U.S. authorities
based in West Germany began a
separate inquiry.
Three U.S. soldiers were killed and
16 others injured three critically
when the solid fuel in the first
stage motor of a two-stage Pershing
2 missile ignited at the Waldheide
U.S. missile training ground, near
Heilbronn, 50 miles north of Stut
tgart, army officials said.
Talks agreement criticized
WASHINGTON Senior Rea
gan administration officials said
Saturday that the Geneva agreement
to begin three sets of arms negoti
ations had left unresolved the key
question of whether a failure in one
set of talks could derail progress in
the others.
As a result, officials said, the new
negotiations could be imperiled even
before they start by a disagreement
over "linkage" with progress on
the American goal of reducing
nuclear weapons possibly held hos
tage by a Soviet insistence that the
United States agree to halt its
program of research into space
weapons.
