18 The News and Observer, Saturday, April 11, 1964 Republican, Negro File For House Gas Station Operator Bids for Wake Board BY WAYNE KING Dean has real estate holdings in County politics heated up a bit Friday as two more candidates joined the crowd seeking Wake's three House seats and a contest developed for Raleigh's two seats on the County Board Commissioners. "Thomas W. Youngblood, manager of Eckerd's Drug Store, became the first Republican to file for the House, while J. J. Sansom vice president of the Mechanics and Farmer Bank, joined five candidates already vying for the three Democratic nominations.

Service station operator Needham K. (Bill) Dean filed for the board of commissioners, opposing incumbent chairman Haigh and retired oil dealer Swannie Bryan for Raleigh's two seats. First Negro Sansom, the first Negro candidate in a local contest this year, based his house candidacy "primarily upon representing over a million Negroes in North Carolina who, at present, have no voice in the laws of North Carolina that affect them and their posterity." A graduate of Morehouse College in Atlanta, he holds a law degree Durhant, Carolina College in where he has taught law. He has served on the Mayor's Human Relations Committee and is a member of the executive committee of the Raleigh NAACP. Dean, 52, said he based his bid for a seat on the Board of Commissioners on "a desire to serve the people of Wake County, with no sponsorship from a special group." In addition to his service station operation in Caraleigh, the County, and has served as a justice of the peace in Raleigh Township.

Dem. Registrar Dem. Registrar He is a Democratic: registrar and chairman of 27. He is recording secretary for his professional the Junior Order of United American Mechanics. Dean was an candidate for the judgeship of Raleigh City Court in 1962.

Sansom made unsuccessful bid for County Board of Commissioners in 1962. Youngblood, is vice-chair-ence man of the Wake Young Republican Club. said his bid for the house is based on a desire to serve Wake citizens, "using the basic business principles and knowledge that effectively represent the sincere desires of the entire County." Other House candidates are incumbents A. A. McMillan Jr.

and Thomas D. (Buck) Bunn, Sam Johnson, Basil Sherill and Frank T. Colvert. Youngblood, a World War II Air Force veteran, holds a degree in pharmacy from the University of South Carolina. Sansom, 47, is manager of the Raleigh branch of the Mechanics Farmers Bank and a vice president and member of the board of directors.

He was manager for in Winston-Salem. Another candidate for the Board of Commissioners stayed in the running only briefly Friday. Eugene B.

Lenoir St. Only Moderate Opposition Chapel Hill Expressway Backed by Three Counties By RUSSELL CLAY Moderate, scattered opposition was voiced Friday to plans by the State Highway Commission to build a jet-age expressway to replace NC-54 between Chapel Hill and Raleigh. Statements of support from Wake, Durham and Orange officials highlighted a public hearing in the Highway Building auditorium on the long-planned project.

Property owners in two areas complained, however, that the design plan should be amended to give their area access to the proposed four-lane, tightly-controlled highway. Interchange Is Requested Property owners Marion Medlin and R. W. Graber of the Old Trinity Road area west of the State Fairgrounds pleaded for addition of an interchange there. "We approve of the road, as far as it goes," Graber said.

"But it doesn't go far enough. We need an interchange at Old Trinity Roads so we can make 1 use of the road." Medlin, official of the Medfield Estates housing development, supported Graber. He said access to the superhighway would be needed by owners of the 200-250 homes to build. Graber: added a touch of mystery. He said "a certain institutional development is planned in the area, but I cannot divulge details." Want Old Road Retained A Durham County delegation headed by builder Fred Herndon cited the need for traffic to continue unimpeded on the present NC-54 after it has been replaced by the expressway.

Herndon's group, from the South Patterson community, complained that the new highway would sever NC-54, routing traffic through a circuitous interchange before picking up NC-54 again on the other side. They asked that NC-54 be bridged to cross the new highway to avoid a break in the continuity of traffic. Endorsements of the plan from numerous civic and governments officials from Raleigh, Durham and other affected areas. Included were George Goodwin, vice president of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce; Sen. Claude Currie, speak- Cary to Ask Ruling On Beer, Wine Sale The Cary Town Council is seeking a State attorney general's ruling on whether a local store operator should be allowed to sell beer and wine in the town limits.

Attorney Henry Sink presented the council a request for a license from J. T. Terrell, operator of Terrell's Grocery, for sale of beer and wine for off-premises consumption. Councilmen noted that the Cary, alcoholic charter prohibits the in sale the beverages town boundaries. But they asked Ladder Truck Sideswipes Parked Auto The City's aerial ladder fire truck, answering an alarm Friday at 2:45 p.

sideswiped a parked automobile near the intersection of Dawson and Davie streets. The truck's rear driver, Charles A. Lloyd, 38, of 430 Fenton swerved to avoid an automobile that pulled into the truck's path and hit a parked car owned by Ralph W. Youngsteadt, of 401 Colleton police reported. Damage to the car and truck was slight.

There were no injuries. In another accident, a Cityowned public works department motor scooter, driven by Nashville Gordon, 50, of Rt. 3, Raleigh, overturned near the intersection of Blount and Cabarrus streets at 12:43 p. m. Friday.

Gordon suffered a cut leg and damage to the vehicle was estimated at $85. that the attorney general be consulted about whether a general State statute has overriden the charter provision. An opinion from the attorney general's office last June stated the charter provision had been overruled. Town Attorney William Dawkins told councilmen he was of the opinion that Terrell's request could not be refused because of the charter provision. But he and the council agreed to consult the State on three related questions before making a final decision: -Can Cary hold an effective municipal referendum on authorizing the sale of alcohol? -What effect did the 1937 Wake County, vote on liquor referendum, which the County went "wet" but Cary voted "dry," have regarding Cary's charter? -Could Cary ask the 1965 Legislature for a local act prohibiting the sale of liquor? Although Cary is "dry," beer and wine are on sale at stores just outside the town limits and an ABC store is located a few miles west of Cary in Morrisville.

Again the streets slept in the sun. Chabot was giving us the eye. "I tell you it hasn't been 10 minutes," we said. "The thing came right over those houses and sat down right there. The soldiers went up there on that hill where the Community Center is.

H. JACKSON 1321 Wake Forest Rd. Phone 828-3512 Entirely New Location The expressway, designed for speeds up to 70 miles an hour, would be an entirely new location. The cost, exclusive of rights-of-way, was estimated at $7 million. "It will be practically the sane as the Interstate system, with completely controlled access and safeguards against strip development along it," McGowan said.

It would begin in Chapel Hill, where the four-lane section of NC-54 ends and extend 20 miles to tie into the Raleigh Beltline. Major connecting links would serve Cary, the Raleigh Durham Airport and tie in with Durham's proposed East-West Expressway. The Cary connection would extend from the superhighway in the Reedy Creek Park area, entering Cary along Harrison Avenue. The expressway would tie into the Beltline at the approximate point where Wade Avenue, if extended, would intersect the Beltline. Too Much Wade Traffic McGowan said the study had not progressed to the point where an exact location could be pinpointed "because of the hazard of dumping too much traffic on Wade Avenue." It has not been determined, he said, whether the major carrier of the traffic would be Wade Avenue, other streets or a new street or streets.

We walked along the glittering morning, waterfront and heard helicopter. Then we saw it and it just stopped in mid air almost over the square. Then it sat right down on a grassy plot next to the square and six or eight soldiers in battle dress jumped out. I was glad to see they were ours and that the copter had S. Army.
