Claude Sellars By The Associated Pren Four persons were killed in storm related accidents near Chicago as a system of thunderstorms that spawned tornadoes swished through the Midwest from the southern plains Friday night and early Saturday. There were numerous reports of funnel clouds sighted in northeastern Illinois, while heavy thunderstorms pelted southeastern Wisconsin and eastern Iowa. Heaviest damage occurred from tornadoes Friday in Stillwater, Okla and at the campus of Oklahoma State University. One person was Injured seriously and several others received minor Injuries, The twisters mangled 20 mobile homes and knocked out most of the city's power as well as plate glass windows downtown. Dr.

Robert B. Kamm, president nf Oklahoma State, said half of all the buildings on the campus were damaged. He estimated the damage at about SI million. Under state policy, only the Student Union was insured. "This hit at 5:45 p.m.

on a Friday after classes let out In an area which is comprised mainly of offices and classrooms all of them vacant," he said. "There were no injuries on campus except for a woman who was driving through who suffered a broken leg." In Lisle HI, a Chicago suburb, seven firemen were hurt while fighting an electrical fire started by lightning that disrupted operations at a sewage disposal plant, An elderly Chicago couple died when their car spun into an abutment on a slippery, rain drenched road. Two area women also were killed in a head on collision during the rains, authorities said. In Fulton County in central Illinois, five homes were destroyed by a tornado. "Their roofs were ripped off and their frames were twisted out of shape," said a state policeman.

"Power lines were down for at least a quarter of a mile and sheets of metal were wrapped around the lines from a farm building that had been swept away."

According to Mebane police, Samuel Chrisman Allen, 21, of 310 Austin Mebane. and a 14 year old youth were discovered inside the pharmacy by a police lieutenant. Enlry was gained through a skylight, police said, Allen was released from Alamance County Jail Friday afternoon on $4,000 bond alter having been charged with breaking and entering, From page 1 A lie defender, he is there," Hobgood says. He says the quality of representation is about the same. "With assigned counsel, you have good and bad.

The same is true with public defenders," he says. H. Pou Bailey, senior resident Superior Court Judge In Raleigh, says defendants get a fundamentally better defense from public defenders. He cites the advantage of public defenders In plea bargaining if district attorneys don't offer reasonable compromises, public defenders can threaten to try every case. Since that would collapse the calendar, the district attorneys are more willing to bargain.

Bailey foresees public defender offices for all single county district in the next five years and for many of the two county districts. But he sayi It's too expensive for multleounly districts. Superior Court Judge Jerry Alvis of Raleigh agrees, adding that public defenders aren't needed much in rural areas. He cites a better rapport between the private bar and prosecutors in rural areas where fewer people are involved and communication is better. And the Special Committee on Indigent Legal Delivery Systems has found that the percentage of private bar participating in the assigned counsel system is generally higher in rural areas.

A Charlotte attorney practicing criminal law says he has studied public defender systems across the nation and doesn't want it in his judicial district, the 26th. William Lee Stagg says criminal lawyers in that district's bar association oppose public defender systems by about four to one. Stagg says in 1972 the district bar resolved that It opposed establishing public defenders in the 26th. Staff has looked at public defenders offices in North Carolina, Jacksonville, and Tucson, Arii. He says the Jacksonville office had much more plea bargaining and that the judge was just a rubber stamp.

In one period, 412 of 421 cases ended in guilty pleas. That worked like a "greased hog," be says. Stagg admits public defenders would be cheaper and the defense about the same. But he says it unnecessarily takes business away from the private bar and is "just another stab at free enterprise," James D. Little, chief public detunder in the 12th Judicial District, considers himself a criminal law specialist with investigative powers.

He emphasizes that a good defense isn't just a mailer of law a knowl edge of the system and how to work under it is needed. Little says public defenders work continually under that system and are better equipped to deal with it. But Little favors a combination of public defenders and assisted counsel so that the input of the private bar would be retained. He praises North Carolina's public defender system, saying It isn't controlled locally or by judges. "We have the freedom to give a really good defense, unfettered by political considerations," Little said.

But the politics surrounding public defenders does worry some court observers who say the right man for public defender is essential that an inept one is possible through political favoritism and that, once In, an unethical one can cause trouble. Public defenders are appointed by the governor in the 12lh and lftlli Judicial Districts and by the senior resident Superior Court judge in Ihe 28th. Making the chief public defender's jab a political plum ts the only possible problem Wallace Harrelson, lBth Judicial District chief public defender, foresees with the public defender system, Harrelson says that as long as Hie public defender is dedicated, it's the answer for the best and cheapest defense in urban areas.

But response hasn't been overwhelming. "Some of them say. 'Oh, really. I never knew Most of'em kind of smile indulgently and go along like before," he ad mils. Fonville is an amiable sort.

He isn't 'exactly a street fighting man and is a far cry from that loveable old taxation rabble rouser. Sam Adams. That's why since just before Christmas he has begun to slnwly lay the foundations for what he hopes can eventually become a nation wide lobbying effort to achieve taxation equality lor single people. And where does a single man look ir he wanls to spin a web uf influence across the nation? He could start with girls he knows, which is exactly Fonvillc's angle. Through and social gatherings, and business contacts, he has friends in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Winston Salem.

How he met and maintained these contacts has novelistic overtones. One meeting occurred at a Polish wedding in Pittsburgh. He was the head usher. Another resulted from his ushering in an Italian Catholic wedding in Goose Creek, S.C. These contacts and a few people in Cops Trap Grass, But Get Wet LEXINGTON, S.C.

(API Lexington County Sheriff R. Melts and a task force of deputies, stranded by rising waler after cutting down more than 8(10. marijuana plants, were rescued by an Army helicopter late Friday.

There are already several organizations which have similar interests. COST, the Committee of Single Taxpayers, is based in the mid west and boasts some 1,500 to 2.000 people.

Fonville reports there are also groups in Southern California and New York City. One group which is aiding the drive for singles tax relief is NOW National Organization for Women. NOW wants unmarried heads of household to receive, the same tax break as married heads of household just what Fonville's group wants in North Carolina anyway, One nf Ihe big problems in getting a national effort rolling is, of course, money. Also single people tend to move frequently. When Fonville can get his hands on some money, he hopes to make a largB scale mailing and tie together local efforts from around the country.

That is one reason he has been scrounging newstands the last few months for a copy ol "Single" magazine so he can get in touch with other tax relief groups. What Fonville eventually hopes for is a national lobbying effort some 100,000 strong.
