SHIRES RALEIGH-If there should uc errors cr Iccp- holes in the suit filed in federal court in Greensboro on political apportionment in North Carolina, chances are they will be spotted rather quickly. By coincidence, the three defendants named in the suit are all veteran lawyers by profession.

One is the attorney general of North Carolina, T. Wade Bruton, and it wiil be Bruton who will defend the suit. Another is a former attorney general of the state, Malcolm B. Seaweli, who is now chairman the a Board of Elections. The third defendant named is Secretary of State Thad Eure, who is a licensed attorney and who practiced law in Gates and Hertford counties prior to his election in Raleigh many years ago.

The apportionment suit, which may force a special session of the General Assemble, was brought by a fledgling lawyer, (Boom) Drum Jr. of Winston- Salem. Drum is 33 years old. He was graduated from law school in June and passed his bar examinations in August In September ha fifed the suit which some are saying has "lowered the boom" on the state's present apportionment of both Congressional and legislative districts. Some notes on the Ku Klux Klan: A sign used by the Klan to announce its rallies at various small towns in Eastern North Carolina recently has an extra which causes some, puzzlement.

The sign proclaims a rally of the "KKKK" and no one seems to know whether the extra stands for Klavern or Karolina, or what. Announcement of a Ku Klux Klan rally at Aurora this week contained the notice that the ladies auxiliary would auction off homemade cakes. The former Klan dragon of North Carolina who was deposed rather suddenly six years ago in a cornfield near Maxton, James (Catfish) Cole of Kinston, is active in Klan circles again. Cole complained bitterly about newspaper use of his nickname a few years ago when Kinston newsmen discovered that he was known as "Catfish" when he was a taxicab driver in that city. He telephoned newspaper reporters asking that they omit the nickname.

Some may now respond by spelling it "Katfish." In Greenville, a Camp Lejeune marine was walking down a street at one o'clock in the morning with a 50-pound field pack on his back. Police wondered if the marine, Richard W. Medlong of Syracuse, N. was lost. He wasn't.

Medlong explained that after he finished a 10 mile training hike at Lejeune he decided to walk to Greenville to see his girl friend, East Carolina College coed Janice Graham of Greensboro. It took him 12 hours to walk from the Marine base to Greenville, but he figured the long walk was worth it. For one thing, he told police, he might start a fad. However, Medlong's arrival in Greenville was rather late at night. The police who found him walking rinwn a Greenville street gave him a ride for the last mile to Green Springs park where he pitched a tent to spend the night deciding to wait until the next day to see his girl.

Miss Graham, incidentally, is a junior at ECC majoring in psychology. In Fayetteville, fireman Darrell Page reported for work at the fire station and wa: busily carrying cut his routine assignments the other morning when he remembered his vacation started the previous day. A youth convicted in court in Greensboro of stealing a 35 cent root beer mug from a drive-in restaurant had to pay a fine and court costs amounting to $26.50. In Durham and other cities, however, service station operators are complaining about the lack of state laws making it a criminal offense to fail to pay for gasoline or auto repairs. There have been several instances recently in which motorists have filled up and driven away without paying.

The car then struck a guy wire, tearing off a door and flinging the driv- ir and a passenger into the street. The car circled three times in reverse gear before coming to rest in the street. The injured passengers were isted as Johnnie Bowman, 25, and James Lynch, 18, of Greens- )oro and Glynda Hall of High 3 oint.
