BERNISH Observer Raleigh Bureau RALEIGH The specter of "organized crime" is much with us these days in enormously successful movies like "The Godfather" and Valachi Papers" and in bestselling books like "Honor Thy Father" And now according to Attorney General Robert Morgan there is orgaized crime right here in North Carolina ''spreading its tentacles" into such statewide activities as cigarette smuggling narcotics prostitution he rings and even legitimate business Morgan a Democrat has issued a series of seven news releases that describe in sketchy detail the inroads he says organized cr ime has made in the state But he has declined to make public a study that is the basis for his assertions When asked at 'a news conference to assess the extent of organized crime he said that it "isn't all that serious change Saigon has rejected this view and suggested that both civilian and military prisoners be freed simultaneously Agence FrancePresse SAIGON More United States prisoners of war will be released Tuesday or Wednesday a North Vietnamese sour ce at the quadripartite military commission said Senate Storni Awaiting Nixon's FBI Appointee The freeing of South Vietnamese and Communist POWs is at a standstill because Saigon and the PRG disagree on priority for the release of civilian prisoners According to the South Vietnamese command the PRG insists that liberation of civilians take precedent over that of military personnel in the second phase of the prisoner ex An abundance of good things is awaiting the returning American prisoners of war Page 10A tt- One well-placed union president said however "It will not be a specific 55 per cent it will be general That is sure" He also said he could say with assurance that the agreement will contain "something on food prices" Others attending the Bat Harbour meetings gave similar descriptions of the pact The AFL-CIO's executive council is in Bal Harbour for its annual midwinter meeting which began last Monday Meany warned at a press conference Thursday that labor would not accept a continuation of the old 55 per cent per year limitation on pay raises if food prices kept rising as they have in the past few months More than 130 Americans will be released in Hanoi and more than 30 others held by the National Liberation Front will be released at Loc Ninh 62 miles north of Saigon the source said HE'LL ASK REFORMS By LOYE MILLER JR Knight Newspapers Writer WASHINGTON When FBI director-designate Patrick Gray comes up for Senate confirmation hearings this week he's going to catch some flak At this reading no one seems to believe there is much chance the former Navy captain will fail to weather it successfully Yet the arrival of Gray's appointment papers on Capitol Hill is a unique development within itself Perhaps the FBI head should serve for only a certain number of years some suggested Nixon Urges End To Welfare Waste And his appointment by President Nixon has raised certain interesting questions some about the office itself and others about the man Nixon has chosen to fill it permanently TItt offielal date of release will be announced today when heads of the delegations to the military commission meet (In Washington Defense officials said the prisoners might he released as early as Monday morning Amreican time The Pentagon said it expected to receive sometime today the list of names of POWs to be released) The North Vietnamese source indicated that the two-sided military subcommittee (Provisional Revolutionary Government IPRG) and Saigon) discussing the ease of civilian prisoners met Saturday for the first time Perhaps he should be required to have had certain experience in law or law enforcement or to meet other qualifications Perhaps his direction of the bureau should be placed under direct congressional control Perhaps some steps should be taken to insure that the bureau could not become a partisan political police force serving the cause of the White House incumbent These and other ideas were discussed without resolution And about the only thing finally done was passage of the bill requiring that as with other high presidential appointments the director of the FBI should undergo Senate The senators who will be questioning Gray in the hearings before the Judiciary Committee will be sailing in uncharted waters for there's never been a confirmation hearing for an FBI director lie spoke out as the Labor Department reported In Washington that retail food prices rose 19 per cent in January which works out to an annual rate of 228 per cent The new agreement is likely to be interpreted in some quarters as meaning weaker wage controls in the year ahead which in turn could mean increased inflation Such an interpretation could ald to the already great pressure on the dollar abroad Increased United States inflation would tend to lower the dollar's relative value It is not at all clear however that the new agreement will lead to a real relaxation of wage controls in Phase 3 as compared to Phase 2 In the first place last year's 55 per cent standard was itself By JERRY BAULCH Associated Press WASHINGTON President Nixon said Saturday that too much federal money "has been going to those who were supposed to help the needy and too little to the needy themselves" and America must do better than this He said that in the 19605 the government "undertook ambitious sometimes almost utopian commitments in one area of social policy after another" that in case after case amounted to dismal failure" In the fourtn of a series of nationwide radio addresses on his State of the Union report Nixon said: "Those who make a profession out of poverty got fat the taxpayers got stuck with the bill and the disadvantaged themselves got little but broken promises "We must do better than The meeting was devoted to details for an eventual exchange of prisoners but no firm decision was announced So far hardly anyone including GOP Gov Jim Hotshouser and st ate legislators now meeting here has seen the study which was done by the Organized Crime Prevention Council under the auspices of Morgan's office But the study already has had important ratifications: It is the basis for two re cent recommendations introduced in the General Assembly to give wiretap and no-knock powers to local and state police agencies It has led to the creation of a special 12-man unit in the State Bureau of Investigation (SBD which with $130000 in federal money for starters is supposed to investigate and convict if possible professional gangsters who may have gained a oot old in North Carolina The news releases have served to keep Morgan one of the state's most aspiring Democratic politicians and a possible United States Senate candidate next year in the public limelight at a time when Republicans have gained control of the governor's mansion and several other top state jobs Assistant Attorney General Howard Satisky who prepared most of the study emphasizes that it served a useful purpose "A lot of things we say can't be proven and a lot of it has already been reported" Satisky said in an interview Our purpose was just to tie it all together in one package" Others however including some legislators who are inter The late Edgar Hoover had run the FBI from the day it was created back in 1924 until he died in his sleep last spring Hoovers stewardship at the bureau had become increasingly controversial during the latter part of his 47- year stern-handed reign This led a including some congressmen to urge that major changes be considered before the next director came along Nixon's choice of Gray to succeed Hoover as "acting" director on May 3 and Gray's performance in that role since has started the debate going again however this The American people deserve compassion that works not simple compassion that means well They deserve programs that say yes to human needs by saying no to paternals social exploitation and waste" Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana told reporters that he agrees with Nixon that many domestic programs ''have been over-administrated and under applied" with too little help going to the people Congress sought to help But Mansfield sharply criticized the plan to channel much of the domestic aid into special revenue sharing and he opposed dismantling the Office of Economic Opportunity In his address taped before he took off for the weekend at Camp David his Maryland mountain retreat the President said "to our great credit we Americans are a restless and impatient people we are a nation of idealists -We dream of eradicating poverty and hunger discrimination ignorance disease and war and we would like to do it all today But in order to reach these goals we need to connect this warm-hearted impatience of ours with another equally American trait and that is level-headed common sense" The President said that he would send to Congress within a few days a message on urgently needed reforms in social programs intended to cure past failures Today's Chuckle What this country needs is a special encyclopedia with blank pages for the guys who know everything Please

Citizens for Decency and periodic crackdowns like last week's seizure of the "Teenage Fantasies" film by the Charlotte Vice Squad Haddon offers some insight into the reason for the growth: "When it reaches the point where you show a major Walt Disney movie in a suburban neighborhod and lose money it's time to give up Not until I started showing X-rated films did this theater begin supporting itself" Owners of the adult book stores cite By WARREN KING Observer Staff Writer For the past week the feature attraction at the Mini Cinema on Charlotte's South Boulevard was a film called "Teenage Fantasies" which explicitly depicted a wide variety of sexual acts Owner Grier Haddon who says he was going broke showing Walt Disney and other family films until he switched to X-rated movies last summer estimated that about 2000 customers paid $3 each over seven days to crowd into his tiny 100-seat theater to see the show The Mini Cinema and its astonishingly raw movies are a fitting symbol of the current onslaught of explicit sexual entertainment in Charlotte a trend also obvious in other Carolina cities and across the nation Today from one end of town to the other the business of selling sex in films in books and magazines in topless clubs and massage parlors is enjoying enormous and unprecedented success The Mini Cinema for example is located in a small shopping center A fabric shop is next door and a few doors down is a laundromat where mothers often bring their young children Occasionally the youngsters wander out of the laundromat and into the lobby of the Mini Cinema to buy soft drinks and popcorn "I just don't think it's good myself" says Mrs Beatrice Blackwell who runs the laundrornat "All those children wonder what's going on in there and want to go themselves"
