(Continued from page 1) Federal wants to buy in Sanford, has not been responsive to our needs. We want to talk to them [Raleigh Federal] a lot about what they are go ing to do different.” Sterling Goodwin, owner of Charleston Seafood Restaurant in Longview Gardens Shopping Center, pointed out that the federal govern ment is attempting to bail out the sav ings and loans with an astronomical amount of money. Congress has not figured out the exact amount, but is estimating it will cost each North Carolina taxpayer approximately $1,000. “We feel the savings and loans ag gressively loaned money to large developers in commercial lending areas which they were not familiar with. First Federal Savings and Loan is approximately $17 million in debt,” he said. “If the government is going to spend our tax dollars for bad business decisions, they ought to be obligated to put money aside for people to buy homes. I’m talking about low-interest loans. We are not talking about a give program. We are not talking about a program where tax dollars will have to bail someone out,” Goodwin added. Another meeting has been schedul ed for May 26 for the group to hear the bank’s response to its proposal. There is also a possibility that the delega tion may file a comment with the Federal Home Loan Board, ques tioning Raleigh Federal’s acquisition of the two savings and loans until they have mettheir CRA responsibilities.

The staff and their families live on or near the school grounds. It is a church school that has long been associated with the Episcopal Church.

MURDER | (Continued from page l) Manhattan, in which he was forced to participate at the age of IS. Formal demands to Commissioner of Correc tions Richard J. Koehler and Mayor Edward Koch to remove Abdul Hakeem from Rikers have fallen on deaf ears. Acquitted in two separate trials ac cusing him of the quadruple murders of drug dealers and the attempted murder of six police officers, Abdul Hakeem was subsequently convicted on the minor charge of weapons possession. Unlike subway gunman Bernhard Goetz, who received only one year for a possession-of-weapons felony charge, Abdul-Hakeem receiv ed a five to 15-year sentence for his weapons conviction. He is appealing that verdict and sentence through his previous counsel, William Kuntsler. On the day of his sentencing, 1,000 or more members of the Policemen’s Benevolent Association demon strated outside the Bronx Court house calling for “Death to Larry Davis” and demanding that he receive the severest penalty under the law. Some proudly said they would get even with him in any way possible. Attacks on Abdul-Hakeem in jail have ranged from being pushed down a staircase handcuffed to a wheelchair, to being attacked with a baseball bat, to having a group of cor rections officers attempt to gouge out his eyes with keys, his attorneys claim. Recently, in blatant disregard for his lawyer’s presence, inmates threw urine and feces on his face and body, and hit him in the back of the head with a hard object, causing him to cough blood. Appeals for help were met with laughter by corrections of ficers who had observed the incident. He was subsequently denied medical attention. Abdul-Hakeem’s attorneys had already filed a plea of habeas corpus on March 6 to have their client moved to presumably safer quarters at the federal Metropolitan Corrections Center, where he had been taken after previous attempts on his life at Rikers in 1987. But Judge Richard Lowell pushed the court (fate back to May. Attorney Frazier said, “Each day my client sits in Rikers Island his chances of being killed or brutalized to the point of incapacitation multip ly. Here is a man whose only offense was to defend himself with an unlicensed gun from being assassinated by drug-running cops. The Policemen’s Benevolent Associa tion made it clear that they not only condone his death but are gunning for him. Where is Mayor Koch and where is Corrections Commissioner Koehler?" NEWS BRIEFS (Continued from page 1) theastern North Carolina defied company acare tactics by atten ding a special medical screening recently. The screening was organised to serve the needs of workers in the area who suffer from the often crippling results of the dangerous and harmful work ing conditions that exist in most poultry plants.

Walker of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Rocky Mount has announced the release of his latest album, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy" on AIR Records and Tepee, distributed by Atlanta International. The new release is Rev. Walker’s eighth album for Atlanta Interna tional, which awarded Rev. Walker a company gold for his rendition of the classic “One Day at a Time.” The title track of his latest album is the gospel version of Bobby McFer rin’s melodic tune that gave birth to a new national Catch phrase. Rev. Walker has written additional lyrics for the song which he feels is an obvious candidate for gospel adapta tion as its basic theme agrees with the mindset of those who have deep religious faith. Rev. Walker is in spired by the broad appeal of this song. He is especially intrigued by the responsiveness of young children to the lyrics. In a world of unhappiness, drug abuse, broken homes and violence it is good to know that you’re singing a song that will bring joy to every v heart. The album’s other songs include “I Don’t Deserve a Mansion," “Living the Life at Home" and “Down on My Knees." Side two contains a sermon also titled “Don’t Worry, Be Happy." A gold huntor.
