N.C. politicians expect a flood of
candidate announcements for N.C.
secretary of state in the next few
months.
Democrat Thad Eure, who has
held the office for 51 years, said he
expects to announce whether he will
run in mid-November. Other Demo
cratic candidates could include
Raleigh attorneys R. Bradley Miller
and Rufus Edmisten.

More than three-quarters of North
Carolinians surveyed oppose a con
stitutional amendment banning all
abortions, a recent Planned Parent
hood survey said.
The results of the survey, called
"North Carolina Speaks," affirmed
that people in general are pro-choice,
said Charlotte Brody, associate
director of Planned Parenthood of
Greater Charlotte.
"It shows there is not a stark
division," she said. "We have a
consensus."
The survey also indicates that 85
percent of registered voters in the
state believe sex education should be
taught in the public schools. The
majority of respondents oppose a
"squeal rule." The rule prohibits

Parents can cushion the blow of
an expensive college education by
purchasing a new N.C. tax-free
capital appreciation bond, which goes
on sale Tuesday.
"I believe these bonds will go fast,"
said J.D. Foust, deputy state trea
surer. "(They) may go within the first
hour of being on sale."
The sale of the bonds, featuring less
expensive starting prices, is an

Robert Marshall, executive direc

Stafford, Va., said the results of the
poll are misleading because sex
education is not defined. He said this
type of survey "surreptitiously pro
poses a norm, and since we all want
to be considered normal, it may sway

"They donl tell you about the
ineffectiveness of the pill," he said.
"They are trading on ignorance

"The whole idea behind the bonds

limited means," said Benny Bowers,
financial analyst for the state treasury
office.

The margin of error was plus or

Respondents in the statewide
survey ranged in age from 18 to 90
and were 80 percent white, 18 percent
black, and 2 percent American Indian

More than three-quarters of the
respondents described themselves as
Protestants. About 4 percent affiliate
with the Catholic Church, 7 percent

Planned Parenthood paid for the
poll with a $20,000 grant from the

college investments in mind, the
bonds' returns may be used for any
purpose.
But the bonds' 20-year maturity
rate encourages long-term invest
ments because the highest return is
received at the end of the maturity
rate. With other bonds, the income
is received at various set periods over
the life of the bond, Bowers said.
"The system works well if you have
a child zero to three years old. Then
you can put in a little money now
for a reasonable return later," Bowers
said.
Bowers estimated that, assuming a
9 percent interest rate, a $270-5290
bond investment would be worth
$1,000 in 18 years.
A term bond with a 30-year matur
ity rate and a serial bond, which
would produce return every year,
were also included in the General
Assembly bill, Bowers said.

definite intention to run."

15, 1987.
Although Planned Parenthood did
not intend for the survey to be used
politically, Brody said politicians pick
up on anything that tells what a group
of voters might believe.
Many North Carolinians believe
that although they are pro-choice,
most other people are not, Brody
said.
She said that as she traveled and
worked on the poll, she found that
people thought pro-choice advocates
were concentrated only in Chapel
Hill, Charlotte and Winston-Salem,
but not in their own towns.
Although the poll shows there is
a consensus on these issues, Brody
said, "The privacy of the consensus
doesn't let people know it's there."

Of the three bonds, the capital
appreciation bonds have the highest
expected return if held until maturity,
Bowers said.
"Of course you cannot predict how
profitable the investment will be if not
held until maturity because the
market changes every day," he said.
"But that is the incentive intended
for people to hold the bonds to
maturity."

Iranians fire on Iraqi school;
missile kills 32, wounds 218
From Associated Press reports
BAGHDAD, Iraq A missile
fired from Iran exploded at an
elementary school Tuesday morn
ing as pupils filed into the building
for classes, killing 32 people and
wounding 218, nearly all of them
children, officials said.
Shrapnel, shattered concrete
and shards of glass flew through
the playground of the Monument
of Martyrs school, witnesses said.
Textbooks and schoolbags lay
strewn about.
The force of the explosion blew
down parts of the building, Prin
cipal Ismael Ghetan Jassim said.
"Thank God it didn't hit the
classroom complex itself, or ca
sualties would have been much
higher," he added.
Neighbors said 12 members of
one family, whose home the
missile hit directly, were killed.
Baghdad radio said the missile
destroyed 16 other buildings in the
heavily populated area when it
struck just five minutes before the
school bell, but only three of those
killed were adults. All but 22 of
the wounded were children, the
radio said.
It was the fourth Iranian missile
to strike the Iraqi capital since Oct.
4, but the first to cause major
casualties. It spurred fears of a new
round of the War of Cities, which
has killed thousands of people on
both sides since the war began
seven years ago.
Iran has lobbed more than 30
missiles into this city of 5 million
people, and dozens more have hit
other cities.
The official radio quoted a
military spokesman as saying: "It
is our right and duty to respond
to this ugly crime." He said Iran
had "declared a war of the cities
and so it shall be. It is time for
revenge."
Iraq has threatened to "flatten
Tehran and other cities" because
of Iranian shelling of border towns
and claims to have new long-range
missiles that can reach the Iranian

and IBM that still do business with
South Africa, Segal said.

Costa Rican leader wins Nobel
OSLO, Norway President
Oscar Arias of Costa Rica won
the Nobel Peace Prize Tuesday for
a Central American peace plan
that he fashioned and persuaded
the region's other leaders to adopt.
Selection of Arias was a surprise
and an unusual choice because the
decision was based at least par
tially on accomplishments after
nominations closed Feb. 1.
President Reagan, who has
called the Arias plan "fatally
flawed," said Tuesday: "President
Arias fully deserves the Peace
Prize for having started the Cen
tral American region on the road
to peace."
The Norwegian parliament's
Nobel Committee cited Arias, 46,
as "the main architect" of the plan
the five Central American presi
dents signed Aug. 7 and now are
putting into effect.
Reagan obstinate about Bork
WHIPPANY, N.J. A defiant
President Reagan declared Tues
day that if Supreme Court nomi
nee Robert Bork is defeated in the
Senate as expected, hell try to find
a new nominee "that theyll object
to just as much."
Earlier in the day, during a
speech in Somerset, Reagan
accused Bork opponents of "dis
tortions and innuendos" but
dropped harsher wording that had
been included in an earlier version
of the speech.
Reagan failed to mention Bork
in the formal remarks he delivered
in Whippany to the N.J. Repub
lican State Central Committee.
But after the speech a woman
called out, "We want Bork," and
Reagan rose to her words.
"You want Bork, too?" Reagan
asked. "So do I."
