House Seat Will
Be Filled Tuesday
Friends Urge Carl Durham To Seek
Nomination; Hamlin Said Leading
The Orange County Democratic Executive Commit
tee, 57 members strong, will meet Tuesday to nominate
a Representative from Orange to the special session
of the Legislature this fall.
Governor Terry Sanford will appoint the nominee to
the seat. Newspaper publisher Ed Hamlin of Hillsboro
is generally considered to be the favored candidate for
the interim seat, with YDC chairman Fred Cates, also of
Hillsboro, running a strong second.
Former Congressman Carl Durham, who in the last
two or three days has been urged by friends to seek the
Committee’s nomination, had no comment on whether he
would accept the interim seat.
“I feel strongly about the matter of Senate redistrict
ing,” said Mr. Durham. “I think it’s better that the State
do it itself rather than wait to be forced to do it by the
Federal government. I’m always willing to serve my
County.”
The special session of the Legislature is expected to
be confined solely to redistricting.
Mr. Durham retired as Sixth District Congressman in
1960 after 22 years in the House. He had been in public of
fice on the local level for 15 years before going to Wash
ington.
Orange’s House seat became vacant when L. J. Phipps
resigned to become North Carolina Department Com
mander of the American Legion. Mr. Phipps had re
placed John W. Umstead, who resigned at the start of
last spring’s regular session of the General Assembly be
cause of ill health. Mr. Umstead announced last week
that he would not be a candidate for the interim seat.
The Executive Committee will meet at 7:30 Tuesday
night for dinner at the General Sherman Restaurant
near Hillsboro. Mr. Phipps, who will be host at the
meeting, said he was remaining neutral on the appoint
ment and has refused to comment on whether he will
seek nomination to the House in the Democratic primary
next spring.
Mr. Hamlin has not indicated whether he will run for
a full term in the House next spring if he is successful
in winning the interim appointment.
UNC Grid Drills
Begin Tomorrow
By 808 QUINCY
Coach Jim Hickey will greet
some 90 candidates, 29 of them
letter winners, tomorrow morn
ing as the Tar Heels open fall
football drills.
“This is the most experienced
team I’ve handled in my five sea
sons as head coach,” said Hickey.
“It is a fine squad and blessed
with hard workers. Still we are
not without our problems.”
Special attention will be placed
at center and halfback this sea
son, according to the coaching
staff. The problems there are
obvious to veteran observers.
At the pivot, the Tar Heels lost
Joe Crpver and Bob Zaback, two
seasoned performers.

A Talk With Coach Jim Hickey

Jim Hickey doesn't exactly

hard-jawed, 'fact-facing football
coach, Jim Hickey the person
is about as easy to get g grip
on as a greased grand piano in

It may be that Hickey the

that he’s never even noticed. But
this is hard to say.
In any case, the Coach hasn't
changed since the last time he

CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1,1963
Umsteads Say They Will Not
Release Drive Right-Of-Way
The proposed extension of
Pleasant Drive in Carrboro to Um
stead Dr. in Chapel Hill has been
delayed by right-of-way problems.
As presently planned the road,
for which $52,000 has been budget
ed by the State Highway Depart
ment, would be 60 feet wide and
would extend 2,492 feet from
Pleasant Drive to Umstead Drive,
enabling school buses to reach the
new Guy B .Phillips Junior High
without going through downtown
traffic. It was originally proposed
in 1960 and was subsequently re
quested last year by the Chapel
Hill School Board. The Board of

Two Hillsboro Negro high
school students have been admit
ted to the 11th and 12th grades
in the new Orange High School
as of September 9. They are the
first Negroes to request admis
sion, and the first to be admitted
to a predominantly white Orange
County high school.

of the Rev. and Mrs. Thomas
Cathcart of Hillsboro, were ad

County Board of Education,

Carrboro Commissioners emphati
cally supported the request.
The road would join NC 86 via
Umstead Drive, having crossed
six different tracts of property.
Four property owners have grant
ed the necessary right-of-way.
The other two tracts are owned
by the Town of Chape! Hill; and
by either Frank Umstead or Elkin
Realty Co. Elkin Realty is an
Umstead family corporation, presi
dent of which is John Umstead
Jr., with Frank Umstead as sec
retary-treasurer. Elkin Realty has
given land along Umstead Drive
to the Exchange Pool and the
from Central High in Hillsboro.
No specific reason was given
for denial of the Longs’ request,
but discussion by School Board
members indicated that Linda
Hope Long would have had to
pass by Central High to get to
Orange High from her Hillsboro
home, and that a bus would have
(o be specially routed past her
home to provide transportation.
All three reassignment requests
were made because “Central
High is not accredited and the
college the applicant plans to
attend only admits students from
accredited schools.”
The written applications were
submitted August 12.

Tuesday Hearing
May Settle UNC
Fluoridation Suit
Plaintiffs Anneal Is Too Late
University's Attorney Claims
A court hearing Tuesday morning may settle the Uni
versity’s three-year-old fluoride suit.
The hearing has been set for 10 a.m. Tuesday before
Judge James L. Latham in Chatham County Superior
Court in Pittsboro.
The suit was brought against the University August
18, 1960, by Manning Simons of Chapel Hill to prevent
the University from carrying out its announced plans
to fluoridate the Chapel Hill
water supply.
Tuesday’s hearing results from
a motion for dismissal of the •
ease, filed Thursday by assist
ant State Attorney General
James Bullock. Mr. Bullock is
acting as the University’s at
torney. His motion claims that
Mr. Simons’ attorney. Harold
Edwards of Chapel foil, has fail
ed to file before a stated dead
line his appeal of a demurrer
against the suit.
The demurrer against the suit
was granted by Judge Hamil
ton Hobgood in Orange Superior
Court last March 1.
If Mr. Bullock's motion for dis
missal is granted, the case may
be appealed. If there is no ap
peal, Mr. Simons may still begin
the suit all over again.
Mr. Edwards claims his fail
ure to appeal by the deadline
was the result of a misunder
standing between him and Mr.
Bullock.
If Mr. Bullock's motion is

Medical care in North Caro
lina is getting fancier all the
time, even including manicure of
toenails.
An attorney of the Research
Triangle area went into Duke
Hospital for a checkup. His nurse
was Japanese, She rendered the
utmost personal attention, and
he was astonished but pleased
when she gave his toenails a
thorough scraping, cleaning and
manicuring.
A bystander who heard the
account said he has traveled
considerably in Japan, and that
such minute and careful services
ere customary in Japan, and the
Japanese are especially commit
ted to care of the feet. The Duke
Hospital nurse who is Japanese
probably introduced that inno
vation of her own volition, he
