Robinson lacking approval from the required number of unsecured creditors. Robinson was not in a position to say what the next step would be in his efforts to reorganize the speedway corporation. The speedway management placed the company under supervision of Western District Federal Court in November 1961 to forestall liquidation by creditors who claim the company owes them $900,000.

Judge J. B. Craven Jr. took charge of the raceway affairs under Chapter 10 of the federal bankruptcy statutes. The chapter provides for reorganization of a company that is in financial trouble without actually throwing it into bankruptcy.

Robinson worked out a plan of reorganization that has been approved by the court. Before it can be put into effect a majority of the company stockholders and a twomajority of the unsecured creditors must approve it. Wreck Hurts Local Man A Charlotte man was injured Thursday when cars driven by out-of-town drivers collided at Caldwell and First Streets about 9:45 a.m. The victim was Phillip J. Baugh, 30.

of 1521 Dilworth Road, who was a passenger in one of the cars. He was taken to Presbyterian Hospital. Drivers of the cars were Fred Douglas Battle, 19. of Lenoir; and Bill Ted Walker, 31, of Hickory. Police said the accident occurred when Battle failed to stop at a flashing red light at the intersection.

Battle was charged with running a red light. The required number of stockholders have endorsed the plan, but the necessary majority of unsecured creditors have failed to do sO. Robinson said that he will study the bankruptcy act today to see if it provides some method for going ahead with the reorganization effort. The plan provides for the speedway to make a long term loan and to sell additional stock to raise money to satisfy the major creditors. In the event the reorganization goes through, the stock car race track in Cabarrus County would be turned over to Belks CHARLOTTE SHOPPERS' CAFETERIA SPECIAL This Afternoon and Tonight 4:30 to 7:30 COUNTRY STYLE STEAK With Mashed Potatoes and Cole Slaw 65c A Variety of Vegetables, Salads and Desserts 10c 15c 20c Ridgeway's OPTICIANS.

store BARBARA HARDING Co-ordinator come in or tune in SEN. BELK Belk Predicts 2nd Senator For County By DOUGLAS CONNAH Observer Staff Writer State Sen. Irwin Belk, surveyling the 1963 General Assembly's legislative prospects, predicted Thursday that Mecklenburg County would get two state senators out of a Senate redistricting bill. "We're entitled to have two here and believe we're senators, get this," said Belk, Mecklenburg's only senator. Belk, who outlined to the Charlotte Kiwanis Club what he thought the 1963 Legislature's major actions would be, recalled that despite a constitutional requirement to redistrict every 10 years on a population basis, the Senate had not redistricted since 1941.

The possibility that the Senate will redistrict is considered strong in view of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision last spring that federal courts could consider unfair legislative representation. Other matters Belk said would get action this session are: -The beginning of ways to implement the court reform amendment to the State Constitution. passed by the voters last Nov. 6.

-Higher education, as examlined by Gov. Terry Sanford's Commission on Education Beyond the High School. -New controls on automobile inspection and highway safety. -A search for funds to speed construction of primary and secondary highways and roads. -Changes in state utility, banking and auto liability insurance laws.
