Until this year, members bad been appointed by the city council, those were major developments in municipal primaries in the state. Lightner, elected two years ago, was last in the field in Raleigh's nonpartisan council elections. Former state legislator Jyles Coggins had 10,201 votes, councilman Oliver Williams 7,524, and Lightner 5,644.

Brand had 2,495 and Halterman 2,449. In Durham, three blacks won election to the school board and another could be in one of two possible runoffs.

Two of the three blacks who won outright are incumbents, including the chairman, Dr. Theodore Speigner. At Boone, real estate man Wade F. Wilmoth was elected mayor over. Thomas Wilkinson, 857-109.

Clarence Lightner, Raleigh's First Black Mayor, Defeated RALEIGH (AP) Clarence Lightner, the first black mayor of a predominately white major Southern city, was defeated Tuesday in his bid for a second two-year term. Lightner polled 5,644 votes while former legislator Jyles Coggins led the three-man field with 10,201 votes and Councilman Oliver Williams came in second with 7,524 votes. Raleigh's council elections are nonpartisan. Williams or Coggins will be elected the city's new mayor in the Nov.

4 general election. Lightner refused immediate comment on his loss. Legal problems in the mayor's family during the last year hampered Lightner's re-election effort. In January his wife, Marguerite, was tried on a charge of conspiring to receive and dispose of stolen goods. She was ac- quitted by a jury after a highly publicized eight day trial.

Last summer the mayor's son, Lawrence, was jailed 20 days for contempt of court. A judge ruled that the younger Lightner had made an obscene gesture while leaving the courtroom after being called to face a charge by his wife that he struck her. Last week, Lightner's daughter, Debra, was accused of credit card fraud after several days of publicity surrounding the investigation of Miss Lightner's involvement. The charge is a misdemeanor. In other contested Raleigh races Tuesday, incumbent Jack Keeter, Randy Hester, J.C.

Knowles and former council member Michael Boyd won the primary for two at- large council seats and incumbent Ronald Kirschbaum and Donald Bryant won-the North Raleigh district primary. All council terms are for two years. CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)- The Great Tire Heist was well executed. Thieves stripped 160 large tires and rims, valued at 120,800, off 20 new trailers in the sales lot of the Strick Corp.

near Charlotte last Wednesday. They evaded two German shepherd security dogs, and escaped with the loot in a tractor-trailer rig also stolen from Strick. Nelson Johnson an official of Strick, has offered a reward of 13,000 for information leading to conviction. He says the thieves used a large fbrklift owned by Strick to lift the trailers so the wheels could be taken off. They apparently brought with them a large air compressor and special wrenches.

The FBI joined in the investigation after the stolen trailer was found empty in Monday. The tractor had been found Friday at a filling station near a truck stop off 1-85 in Cleveland County.
