RALEIGH (AP) Only a week before Firecrackers go off in celebration of the United State's Independence Day, a group of Indians studying in North Carolina were mourning what they saw as an "anti inde- pendence" day.

The students, members of a group called "Indians for De- mocracy." spread maps of their country, enlarged political cartoons and printed mani- festos on the grounds of the state capital Saturday, where they chatted with downtown shoppers. The group of 10 told the pass- ers-by who stopped to hear their story that on June 26 last year, Indian Prime Minister In- dira Gandhi proclaimed a state of emergency and suspended the consitutional rights of the nation's citizens. Amit Mitra, group spokesman and Duke university student, said the group, which repre- sents a larger area organ- ization of 35. hopes to mobilize American opinion against the Ghandi government. He said the students hope to stress the urgency of: "restoring civil lib- erties, reestablishing the free- dom of the press, bringing back the independence of th judiciary, taking legal action against those who are respon- sile for torture of political pris- oners and the immediate re- lease of hundreds of thousands of political prisoners." Mitra and Mahesh Shah, a student at North Carolina State University, said they believe the American intellectual com- munity already is interested in the problem and should ask its government to put pressure on India to restore the democracy.

The Saturday protest was an effort to bring their message to those outside the universities, the students said. Many Indians living in the United States are afraid to speak out against the Indian government because they fear their Indian families will be harrassed. Nearly 300 Indians live in the Triangle area, they pointed out, but only about 35 are publicly active in the group. The Saturday gathering was the first effort of its kind in the state. Its participants stressed that all protests would be non violent, "in the traditional In- dian manner." N.

C. Man Thwarts Robbery Black Wachovia Employes Medicaid Drugs Face Win Discrimination Suit Monh HICKORY, N.C. (AP) A Hickory businessman thwarted the robbery of a 74-year-old woman Thursday. "I got out of the car without thinking," David Webber said. He was stopped at a down- town inersection when, "I heard a woman scream and I knew from watching television enough that a purse snatching had happened." The 36-year-old vice president of Johnson's Supply Co.

jumped out of his car and chased a youth who had grabbed Mrs. Tessie Cohen's purse. "He dropped (he maybe would stop chasing," Webber said. Webber caught the man, tackled him and held him in an arm lock until police arrived. Webber said later he felt sor- ry for the thief.

"He looked bad and maybe he needed the money to live off of," Webber suid. Despite his sympathy, he plans to testify against Robert Bruce Miller, 18, of Rt. 8, Hick- ory, who was charged with common law robbery. "I knew when I jumped out of the car I got involved. If he (the suspect) learns anything, then it will be good." Mrs.

Cohen's purse, which contained about $75 worth of things, was returned to her after the incident. Stratford Scholarship Deadline Near Thursday is the deadline for' applications for the annual scholarship given by the Danville chapter of the Stratford Alumnae Association. A S500 award will be granted to a college alumna or alumna dependent. Applications should be mailed to Miss Mary Richardson, 103 S. Main St.

The winner of this year's award will be announced Aug. 1. GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) One of the largest job dis- crimination settlements ever awarded in North Carolina has been won by 1.400 black em- ployes of Wachovia Batik and Trust Company. In conjunction with the 520 settlement the company also agreed to upgrade oppor- tunities for minorities by in- stituting a detailed affirmative action plan.

The settlement was made in U.S. Middle District Court. Greensboro, Friday. Judge Hi- ram II. Ward accepted the pro- posal after attorneys for each side said they believed the set- tlement was reasonable.

An attorney for Wachovia said the company made the of- fer without admitting to the al- legations in the lawsuit. The suit was filed last year by four black women who al- leged they had been fired by Wachovia for racial reasons. It was then broadened to include a "class" of 1,400 employes throughout North Carolina, cm- ployed by the company between 1971 and 1976. The settlement funds will be divided among them. Legal proceedings in the case might have lasted seveeral years, attorneys for both sides said Friday, if the lawsuit had been decided in court.

Judge Ward commended them for co- operating to bring about a quick settlement. Grover, Stokes Arrested By Police Gurney Lee Grover. 21. of 1206 W. Paxton yesterday was charged by Police Officer W.

S. Snow Jr. with hit and run driving. Snow took Grover into custody around 10p.m. on Roberts Street.

The offense allegedly occurred Friday at the corner of Belts and Mabin streets. Arthur Odell Stokes, 49, of 484 Garter Road, Ringgold, was charged with assault and bat- tery. According to police reports, the offense occurred last Monday at 872 Paxton St. Officers W. S.

Snow Jr. and M. W. Taylor took stokes into custody at 8:20 p.m. Both men will be arraigned July 12 in General District Court.

RALEIGH (AP) North Carolina may be temporarily without a company to adminis- ter Us Medicaid drug pre- scripton program when the pro- gram contract changes hands next month. PAID Prescriptions, which currently holds the state con- tract, said Friday it will not ex- tend its contract while Elec- tronic Data Systems Federal (EDS-F) gears up to take over the program. North Carolina decided last week to award the new con- tract to EDS-F, which bid 899,122 against PAID's $29,862,776. But state officials believed that PAID had agreed to ex- tend its contract past the July 1 cutoff date so the new company could conclude negotiations with the state. The advisory budget commis- sion had even" okayed $2,581.700 for the one-month extension.

But paid president Edward Baker said through spokesman Sandra Teren Friday that "PAID has not agreed to ex- tend. We agreed to extend only during negotiations for our re- newal." EDS-F vice-president Thomas Marcus said Friday that he was unaware that PAID would not continue to monitor the drug prescription program as long us he had believed. When asked if his company could be- gin operating in July, he said "we've certainly pulled off mir- acles before."

OFFICE HOURS BY APPOINTMENT DOCTOR'S BUILDING 108 HOLBROOK STREET DANVILLE. VIRGINIA WASHINGTON (API The Senate on Saturday approved $53 billion in spending meas- ures, including one that pre- vents some top officials from using government limousines to get to and from work. The main target of that pro- vision appeared to bo Russell Train, administrator nf the En- vironmental Protection Agency. It was contained in a bil- lion funding hill for the EPA. the Department of Housing and Urban Development and other related agencies.

The Senate Appropriations Committee, in a report accom- panying the bill, said it is "par- ticularly alarmed at the EPA's administrator's refusal to relinquish his vehicle and driv- er in view of his recent public suggestions that government In loving tribute to Mrs. Annie L.

"There's just no way for a neighborhood grocery store to compete with those large supermarkets." Proxmire said the legislation would apply to the EPA admin- istrator and three others who still use government limousines for such purposes. He listed them as the administrator and deputy administrator of the Na- tional Aeronautics and Space Administration and the admin- istrator of the Veterans Admin- istration.

The committee report, how- ever, went on to note "with pleasure the decision of the head of the Council on Environ- mental Quality (Russell W.
