Israel offers to talk
peace with Syria
; JERUSALEM Despite fierce de
bate at home, Israel will offer Syria "an
attractive document" designed to ad
vance a new round of peace talks in
Washington this week, a senior Israeli
negotiator said Sunday.
Israel's offer reflects "creative Is
raeli thought," and if Syria responds
positively, the two sides will be able to
draft "a joint document of principles,"
Itamar Rabinovich, Israel's chief nego
tiator with Syria, told Israel radio.
: Such a document would mark a break
through for the two longtime enemies,
Whose negotiations have stirred heated
debate in Israel over whether to yield
part or all of the Golan Heights, seized
by Israel during the 1967 war.
; Rabinovich did not say what the docu
ment contained, but the strategy of Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin appears to be to
(nake guarded offers of territory, while
insisting that Syria make clear what
kind of peace it envisions.
; The debate pits those who distrust
Syria's stated desire for peace against
those who say it should be tested with
an offer of land for peace.
' Israel wants a treaty that guarantees
not just an end to the 44-year-old state
of war between the nations but a peace
with open borders and diplomatic ties,
as exists between Israel and Egypt.
Syria in turn demands full Israeli
withdrawal from the Golan.
TheDaily Haaretzreportedthat the
document stresses Israel will discuss
territorial compromise only after Syria
promises to continue negotiating even
if talks with other Arab states deadlock.

Pro-democracy party
leads in Thai election
BANGKOK, Thailand Pro-democracy
parties that want the military
to stay out of politics appeared to be
headed for a narrow victory in Sunday's
parliamentary elections, the first since a
bloody military crackdown in May.
The four parties pledged to form a
coalition government if they won the
vote, which was seen as a crucial test for
a democracy that has weathered mili
tary coups and brutal suppressions of
popular uprisings.
Nearly 32 million people were eli
gible to cast ballots, but turnout figures
were not immediately available. As
usual in Thai elections, there were re
ports of vote fraud.
Official results were expected early
Monday. Projections based on exit polls
by Television Channel 9 showed the
pro-democracy parties would win 185,
or 5 1 percent, of the 360 contested par
liamentary seats. Television Channel 7
projected that the parties would win 1 90
seats.
The greatest influence on the elec
tions was the so-called "Four Bloody
Days" in May, when military forces
killed more than 40 pro-democracy dem
onstrators and wounded hundreds of
others in the streets of Bangkok.
The bloodshed shocked Thais, and
further protests forced the resignation
of Prime Minister Suchinda
Kraprayoon, a former army chief ap
pointed despite popular opposition.
The election pitted political parties
that supported the demonstrators against
those that had backed Suchinda.

Gaston police chief
under indictment
for drug, sex charges
By Stephanie Greer
Staff Writer
Gaston Police Chief Gene Norwood,
who was to be honored for his bravery
and dedication by the Gaston Town
Council, now finds himself facing alle
gations that he solicited prostitution and
distributed drugs.
Norwood was charged with three
counts of misdemeanor solicitation of
prostitution and one count of distribu
tion of diazapam (Valium) during the
last week of August.
The charges are the result of a year
long investigation of Norwood by the
State Bureau of Investigation.
"The public expects police officers
to have a code of conduct that is above
reproach," said Gaston Sheriff John
Wood. "The police department will not
tolerate any misbehavior like this."
Norwood's trial for the three misde
meanor charges began Thursday. The
diazapam distribution charge is a felony
and will be held over for superior court.
Norwood was released on $2,500
unsecured bail.
No official complaints about
Norwood have been made during his
four years as police chief or during his
eight years as jailer and deputy sheriff
in both Halifax and Northampton coun
ties, said Gaston town manager Don
Johnson.

Norwood was suspended from his
job Sept. 1 and will remain under sus
pension until the completion of his trial.
Gaston Mayor E.E. Odom stated that
Norwood would be reinstated if the
charges were proven invalid.
The Gaston Town Council was to
honor Norwood for valor on Tuesday.
Norwood saved a woman from drown
ing after her boyfriend had thrown her
into a river during an argument in the
spring.
Halifax Community College also
awarded Norwood a certificate of merit
for his heroic actions.
Despite his honors, the case is a ma
jor issue because Northampton County
has fewer than 20,000 people, Johnson
said.
Although the charges have created
questions about Norwood's moral char
acter, there has been strong public sup
port for him, Johnson said.
There is not a general consensus in
the public as to why the investigation
was begun, Johnson said.
"If you asked 50 or 75 people in
town, each one would probably give a
different answer there are a lot of
rumors flying around," he said.
For now, the county is in limbo until
a verdict is reached at Norwood's trial.
Johnson said that if Norwood was
found guilty, he would be removed from
office permanently.

To avoid an incident, Shank and

One of the unusual results of Heller s
job is her heightened awareness of the
sound of the bells. She says she can hear
the bells ringing from distances most
people can't even as far as two miles
away.
On the wall inside the bell tower is a
plaque that lists the first members of the
"Guild of Bell Ringers." The names
span the years 1 93 1 to 1 954. Heller said
she considered herself part of the guild
now, or, as she would have been called
in 1931, "The Master Bell Ringer."
Heller has played the piano since she
was in the third grade. She also plays the
flute and several percussion instruments
and is involved with a number of cam
pus bands and ensembles.
Heller said that after graduation, she
hoped to complete her teacher's certifi
cation and become a band director.

"We went across the street to get a
bite to eat," Avery said. "They were
there."
Shank said several people surrounded
him.
"That's when I took off, trying td
avoid the situation," he said Sunday.
Avery said that when Shank ran, the
group turned their attention toward
Avery.
Avery added that he was shoved in
the street and began walking away when
the group came after him.
"One of them hit me in the head,"
Avery said.
Avery said he saw a police car' s blue
light from an accident on Franklin Street
and started heading toward it for help.
Avery said he and a Chapel Hill
police officer looked for the suspects in
the alley by the Subway restaurant in
the 100 block of E. Franklin Street.
