(AP photo) Winter storm hits North Carolina By The Associated Press Rain and snow fell along the southern and middle Atlantic Coast today, with a winter storm in North Carolina being blamed for five deaths, while several record high temperatures were set in the West and Southwest. Four people were killed on icy roads in North Carolina, and a woman died of hypothermia in her unheated house after refusing to go to the hospital, authorities said. Meantime, forecasters stood by their prediction that temperatures would reach the 70s by Sunday. "It's hard to believe, isn't it?" said Michael Sabones of the National Weather Service office at Raleigh- Durham International Airport. "But that's the way things have gone lately." In the West, rainshowers fell in northern California and southwestern Oregon, and snow in California's higher elevations.

Skies this morning were cloudy along much of the Atlantic Coast, as well as from the middle and upper Mississippi Valley to the northern and central Pacific Coast, and across the southern Pacific Coast region. In Colorado, Denver's 74-degree reading broke the old record of 72 set in 1986 for the date and Alamosa's record of 67 erased the old high reading of 63, also set in 1986. Other record highs for the date were set in Las Vegas, where an 87-degree reading broke the 1972 record of 84 and Tucson, where 90 degrees surpassed the 88 of 1957. Wednesday's high temperature was 92 degrees at Laughlin, and three Arizona cities. Buckeye, Phoenix and Yuma.

As a result of the guilty plea of Rick L. Williams, 1911 E. Sycamore deputy prosecutor Ronald C.

Byal dismissed two other charges against Williams, one of which had been set for trial next week. Williams, 37, was to have stood trial on two felony charges filed as the result of grand jury indictments handed down in August 1985. Williams was charged with conspiracy to deal more than three grams of cocaine, a Class A felony, and conspiracy to commit burglary, a Class felony. Just before scheduled jury selection, Williams pleaded guilty to the conspiracy to commit burglary charge, and the state dismissed the cocaine conspiracy charge. The state also dismissed a Class felony burglary charge filed in 1986 as the result of a grand jury indictment.

Howard Circuit Court Judge R. Alan Brubaker said in pleading guilty, Williams faced a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a minimum six-year sentence. A maximum fine of $10,000 also could be assessed. Williams was ordered to return to court March 29 for further hearing and sentencing. Sullivan offering AIDS aid WASHINGTON (AP) The Bush administration's top official in the fight against AIDS says the federal government will help communities that want to give clean needles to drug addicts to slow the spread of the deadly disease.

Louis Sullivan, health and human services secretary, says programs that provide clean needles to drug addicts deserve consideration by local communities, but controversy over the idea will limit federal involvement until there is evidence that such programs work. "While I don't subscribe to the view that it condones drug abuse, there are other people in society who do, so the issue here is to try to work through this problem," Sullivan said Wednesday in an interview. Sullivan said he would need to look "very carefully" at whether the federal government should pay for needle-exchange programs, but that in the meantime it could provide such support as trained health workers to advise on how to set up programs. He also stressed that while he would encourage communities to experiment with needle exchanges, the federal government should not require communities to have such programs. "These are activities that really mandate local decisions from the local communities around the country but we would be very supportive of such efforts if the communities make those decisions, "he said.

New York City, where more than half of the city's 200,000 heroin addicts are believed to be infected with the AIDS virus, is the only U.S. city with a government-sponsored needle-exchange program. Private efforts are under way or being planned in several other cities, following the lead of several European cities which say their programs have succeeded in slowing the spread of AIDS without increasing drug abuse. But the New York program has run into strong opposition from black and Hispanic leaders who say giving needles to addicts continues their dependence on drugs. Those opponents say efforts should be focused on treatment of drug abuse.

Officials say the infection rate for acquired immune deficiency syndrome has been slowing in the gay community because of increased awareness and use of safe sex practices. But they say the virus is spreading rapidly among drug addicts through sharing of contaminated needles. Infected addicts then spread the lethal disease to their sexual partners and to their babies. Sullivan said the department needs to target educational campaigns better to reach drug addicts and inform them about how the virus is spread.
