JOURNAL Ashe Northwest Edition Watauga Alleghany Wilkes SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1980-PAGE 13 Says Communist Shot Him Klansman an Identifies A Assailant By Michael P. Massoglia Staff Reporter GREENSBORO A Ku Klux Klansman who was wounded at the anti-Klan rally here last Nov. 3 testified yesterday that he was shot by a Communist demonstrator in a yellow coat with a shotgun. But an FBI expert had testified earlier that the only demonstrator near him in a yellow coat was a woman firing a pistol. "It looked like a shotgun to me," said Harold Dean Flowers in crossexamination.

Flowers was wounded by shotgun pellets. Gas Tax Revenues Decline RALEIGH (AP) North Carolina's gasoline tax collections dipped sharply again last month, Mark Lynch, state revenue secretary, said Friday. The gasoline tax, suffering because of reduced gas consumption by motorists, dropped. 12.9 percent, with or $3.3 million, compared August of 1979. For the first two months of the new fiscal year, the tax collections from gasoline declined 8.2 percent.

the figures are good news for fuel economy and bad news for highway maintenance," Lynch said as he released the monthly revenue report. Gasoline taxes, which comprise most of the state's highway fund revenues, have been declining since March 1979. The August decline was the second sharpest for a onemonth period, behind the 15.3 percent drop during March of this year. The decline was especially surprising this time, however, because it reflected wholesale gasoline sales during the summer vacation period, normally See Gas, Page 20 highway patrolmen and Sheriff Brock Censures Carter's Tactics By Charles Wheeler Staff William E. Brock IlI, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said here yesterday that President Carter is demeaning the campaign by trying to put words in Ronald Reagan's mouth.

In apparent reference to Carter's remark some days ago in Atlanta that he doesn't think Reagan is a racist, Brock said, "I have been more distressed at the quality of this campaign in the last 10 days than any other I can Brock held a press conference late yesterday afternoon before a fund-raising 2 awl MAKE EDITION, FIRST While testifying for the defense, Flowers said that he saw one Communist with a nickle-plated pistol. "I seen him shoot several times and he turned and pointed the gun at me," he said. "I'm sure he would have shot me if he had any more ammunition." Flowers turned and ran, he said, but before he reached safety, another demonstrator with a shotgun wounded him. That testimony in Guilford Superior Court came during the trial of six Ku Klux Klansmen and Nazis charged with murdering five demonstrators and feloniously rioting at the rally. Flowers faces trial later on the same charges.

It was under cross-examination that Flowers said that he was shot by a demonstrator wearing a yellow coat. When a prosecutor asked him why he never mentioned that demonstrator when questioned by police after his arrest Nov. 3, Flowers replied, "I guess I was scared and On a videotape of the rally, a woman in a yellow raincoat can be seen in the area where Flowers said that his assailant was standing.

Flowers and Listford Carl Nappier a Klansman who also faces a charge of felonious rioting at the rally, both testified that they left their vehicles in a caravan at the scene when Communists attacked a car carrying three women. "We got out to aid the females in the car they were beating on (with sticks)," Flowers said.

These people will be much sought after, particularly by cities. The more people you have, the more seats you get in Congress and the more money you have sent to you as a token of Congress' goodwill. I can't remember a time when they took a census that made city people happy. Misery loves company, so city people want as many people around them as possible.

This is just one Advance resident's opinion, and there may be folks here who would like to have their part of these 5 million people, but I say let Detroit, New York and Winston-Salem have them all. Five million people created by the Washington bureaucracy in 30 days aren't likely to amount to much. The whole thing reminded me of a song we used to sing back in the Thirties: "Last night as I was on the stair I saw a man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today Oh, how I wish he'd go away." Then there was the news that somebody in Washington has found that 42 percent of female government employees are being sexually harassed on the job. How can a government that can't count people be so sure of their sex problems? Do women tell the truth when asked such questions? Remember that secretary to a congressman? She couldn't type, take dictation, file letters, answer the telephone or go to the office, but she was said to be highly talented after five o'clock. She had to sleep with the boss to keep her job, but would she have complained about this if somebody came around looking after her welfare? The record indicates that she did not mention her problem to anyone.

What about a poor woman who keeps hearing about sexual harassment and hasn't run into any? Does she secretly wonder if she needs to change her soap? Sexual harassment is a real problem. It was before people in Washington discovered it and decided to throw money at it and try to frighten it away, One possibility Soon as the Census Bureau produced those 5 million new people We could put them to work doing away with sexual harassment, We'd have to watch them carefully, of course. Musicians OK Pact RALEIGH (AP) North Carolina Symphony musicians approved a new three-year contract Friday that provides a $35-a-week pay raise each year and the addition of at least two weeks to the playing season by 1983. The agreement, which was approved in a 55-8 vote, ends a week-old strike by the 63 musicians. The contract is similar to one proposed by management early in the 50 hours of negotiations and, aside from the pay increase, it meets few of the original demands made by the strikers.

Members of the orchestra originally called for the playing season to be expanded from its current 40 weeks to 46 weeks. Under the approved settlement, the season eventually will be expanded by two weeks. The settlement requires both musicians and management to seek money for two additional weeks above the 42-week season. The musicians would be paid a reduced salary for the 43rd and 44th weeks if only part of the money needed for the expanded season could be raised.
