Releasing lake water may produce flooding HENDERSON, N.C. (AP) Water being released from record-high Kerr Lake on the North Carolina-Virginia border is expected to cause some flooding of low areas along the banks of the Roanoke River this week. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which operates the reservoir, said backed-up water from Tropical Storm Agnes' rain is being sent downstream to enable the lake to hnld additional floodwater if necessary.

C. (API The North Carolina Bar Association is on record as opposing a national no-fault automobile insurance system. The association approved a resolution Saturday which stated "national no-fault insurance is not in the best interest of a non-urban state such as North Carolina." Joseph C. Moore Raleigh attorney, was elected president- elect of the association succeeding Harold K. Bennett of Asheville.

Bennett as installed Friday as president of the association. The president-elect serves one year before assuming the prcsi- dency. William M. Storey of Raleigh was reclected vice-president and secretary at the closing session of the association's convention and Fred Parker, also of Raleigh, was reelected executive secretary. Astronaut Charles M.

Duke Jr. told the lawyers the nation's space program is "providing the economic base which enables the country to deal with social problems." He said 190,000 people are employed in sending a man to the man and their wages "go directly into the economy. The money is spent here on earth, not on the moon." The lake was at 313 feet above sea level Sunday, and forecasts were that it would rise another foot or two before cresting. The dam is 322 feet high. Some flooding was also reported along the Cape Fear, the Ncuse and the Dan.

In the Madison-Mayodan area, high water from the Dan covered the towns' sewage treatment plants and forced officials to release untreated wastes into streams.

THl GASTOKIA GAZETTI, JMM Plane crash leaves 4 dead in N.C. CASHIERS, N.C. (AP) All four persons aboard a single- engine plane were killed when it crashed Sunday in rugged, densely wooded mountains near the North Carolina-South Carolina border. Spokesmen for the Jackson County Sheriffs Department said the bodies were found badly burned. Tlie bodies were taken to a Sylva hospital.

County Medical Examiner Dr. Emil 11. Jennings Jr. said after an investigation that he has asked the FBI to assist him in making a positive identification. "I'm not satisfied with the identification we have," he said.

In Asheville, however, the owner of Asheville Flying Service, which leased the small plane, said the pilot was Freddie Taylor, 20, of Asheville. Lacey Griffin, the flying service owner, said the three passengers hired Taylor to fly them over some property near the area of the crash. Griffin said the four-place craft left Asheville-Henderson- ville Airport at 12:30 p.m. A telephone call to the Jackson County Sheriff's Department reported the crash 30 minutes later. The area where the plane went down is about 50 mik southwest of Asheville.

Searchers who found the wreckage said the airplane didn't leave a swath of destruction in the surrounding trees, indicating it went almost straight down. Pieces of the plane were concent rated in a 30-fool area. The crash site is near scenic Whitewater Falls, between U.S. 64 and the South Carolina border. Investigators from tional Transportation Slfoty Board and the Federal Administration are expected there today.
