Lucie! McNeel hasn't missed an N.C. _leg­
islative election since she registered to vote 
in a west Charlotte precinct in 1962. 

But for McNeel, 63, a retired black do­
mestic worker, voting has been a frustrat­
ing mixture of hope and disappointment. 
She would pass out campaign flyers fpr 
black candidates and vote for them, only to 
see most of them defeated. 

McNeel believes her votes would have 
counted for more if the lack candidates 
she supported had run in small, predomi­
nantly black districts ra her than coun­
tywide. 

"(Majority black) distric s are one of the 
greatest things in the world," she said. 
"You have a chance to c oose the person 
you like."

Sanitatio11 Crew Tacliles A Lifetime Of Debris 

By RICKI MORELL 
Staff Writer 

· In a neighborhood of green lawns and plant­
filled kitchens, where little girls visit their grand­
mothers on Sunday and most men live with 
wives, children and pets, James Reynolds has 
Jived with junk. 

Mildewed rugs, old mattresses, boxes of rot­
ting tangerines. Stacks and stacks of canned food 
bought years ago,.bits of lumber, squashed toma­
toes, a twisted hanger. 

Early Saturday morning, the man remained 
hidden. But the things he has been collecting for 

much of his adult life began streaming out the 
windows and the doors of his three-bedroom 
house in south Charlotte's Starmount section. 

Reynolds agreed last week to let city officials 
begin emptying his house, which neighbors say is 
infested with rats. 

At 8:45 a.m. three city sanitation trucks pulled 
up in front of the house at 6721 Woodstream Dr. 
Seven men from the Taylor Garbage Service put 
on white face masks and prepared to go in the 
house, where Reynolds sat, waiting.

that seven 

such districts across the state violate 'the 
Voting Rights Act. 

Black voting power, the judges said, is 
diluted by the state's long-standi,ng practice 
of grouping concentrations of black citizens 
within large, predominantly white districts. 

Considering evidence that most white 
voters don't vote for black candidates, the 
judges said, blacks face an often insur­
mountable obstacle to election. 

As a result, the judges told the state to 
redraw the districts where, as in Mecklen­
burg, separate, predominantly black dis­
tricts can be drawn. 

The General Assembly is to meet 
Wednesday in a special session to make the 

changes, and that means many voters like 
Lucie! McNeel will become part of a black 
voting majority. 

The judges' order applies only to districts 
with large concentrations of blacks. But it 
brings North Carolina closer into line with 
some other Southern states in which most 
legislators are elected in single-member dis­
tricts. 

In North Carolina, districting before 
1982 was based on county boundaries. Pop­
ulous counties elected more than one repre­
sentative to the House or Senate in at-large 
elections.

Credentials 
Of Doctors 
Investigated 

By RICHARD D. LYONS 
New York Times 

In the largest investigation of its kind in 50 years, 
federal and state officials are probing the medical 
credentials of several thousand people working as 
doctors or seeking medical certification in many 
areas of the United States. 

The investigations, reported under way in 15 
states, stem largely from the Postal Service's discov­
ery last year of what it called extensive trafficking 
in fraudulent medical credentials that originated pri­
marily in Caribbean medical schools. 

Those who bought the fabricated degrees were 
mostly American citizens who paid $5,000 to 
$50,000 for them, the federal and state officials said. 

The investigators say they do not know how many 
individuals are posing as doctors, and they empha­
size that not all those with suspicious credentials 
will prove to be practicing medicine illegally. 

But the scope of the nationwide investigations is 
believed to go beyond anything undertaken in the 
United States regarding the proper certification of 
doctors since the early 1930s. 

Dr. William Rial, a spokesman for the American 
Medical Association (AMA), said the association was 
deeply concerned and fully recognized the need for 
criminal investigations. 

The AMA "is as outraged as everyone else over 
this trafficking in medical credentials," he said. 

"The time has come to put a stop to it," he said. 
"The question now is how." 

Investigations are also known to be under way in 
New York, California, Florida. Maryland, Illinois and 
other states. A federal official who requested ano­
nymity said at least 15 states are involved. He de­
clined to name the other states, saying this might 
compromise the inquiries. 

Investigators say the total number of cases is well

· Mondale Race 
I ': By DICK POTHIER 

Kni9hi·Ridder Newspapers 

PORT~ND, Maine - Perhaps 25,000 
Maine Derpocrats will gather today to cast 
caucus vofes in what has turned out to be 
the nation's , first head-to-head contest be­
tween former Vice President Walter Mon­
dale and Sen. Gary Hart. 

But tytaine voters are considered so inde­
' il pendelt ,that there is no way to foretell 

1 . which presidential candidate will emerge 
·~ ~t. from the caucuses as the winner. 

~ On paper, Mondale's big statewide orga-
nization should virtually guarantee a cau­

' tus.,win. But since Hart's unexpected vic­
tory in the New Hampshire primary on 

Tuesday, what is on paper might not mean 
very much in this contest. 

Maine voter hemselves were not saying 
much about h they'll vote. Requests for 
predictions ab ut caucus results usually 
draw short, nkee-style replies: "Nope. ' 
Can't tell. Gott wait til tomorrow." 

ently growing more nervous in recent days, 
took the risky road of calling the vote an 
"all or nothing" proposition. None of the remaining· Democratic can­

didiates has actively campaigned in the 
state in recent weeks. 

A defeat In Maine, Mondale's advisers 
privately concede, would be a severe blow 
that would, as one put it, "leave us twist­
ing" until the primaries in three Southern 
states March 13. 

"It's David and Goliath here in Maine," 
said state Rep. John Michael, .an Augusta 
Democrat and Hart supporter. But "maybe 
we can hit him in the noggin." 

ks ago, the caucuses had 
a minor political event. 

Now they are ing viewed as an important 
contest that co ld provide an answer to the 
question that at the center of the battle 
between the o leading candidates: Can 
Hart's newfo d momentum and popular­
ilty overcom Mondale's advantage in 
money and or nization? 

The feeling among many Maine politi­
cians Saturday was a Mondale victory was 
far from assured. · 

"Mondale definitely has the edge in orga­
nization, money and people," said James 

. Henderson, deputy Maine secretary of state 

Former Gov. Kenneth Curtis, a key Moo­
dale supporter, countered Saturday by say­
ing that Maine voters would not repeat the

WASHINGTON - Jimmy Carte 's personal

Gerald Ford practiced his speec s by read­

only president known to have quieted aides,

Oval Office, by shouting: 

"Quiet on the set!" 
Before Reagan ever ran for office he had

To deliver speeches shorter or longer than 
normal, Reagan can slow or speed his reading, 
without strain, by up to 20%, according to 
A vram Bakshian, his former chief speech 
writer, now a columnist for the Washington 
Times. 

Furthermore, Reagan always - and deftly 
- edits speeches on his feet. It's a skill he 
learned as a radio news and sports broadcaster 
in the 1930s reading live from unedited wire­
service copy. The changes in middelivery are 
small, prosaic and important.

Mecklenburg is an example of 

such a multimember district, in 
which voters elect more than one

Single-member districting could

In 1982, the U.S. Justice De­

If majority black, single-mem­
ber districts were created accord­

/ing to maps considered but re­
. jected by the legislature in 1981, 

black majorities would elect two 
of eight Mecklenburg House mem­
bers and one of four senators in 
what is now the Mecklenburg-Ca­
barrus Senate district. That would 
be one-fourth of the seats, ·nearly 
equal blacks' 26.2% share of the 
county population . . 

"Single-member . districts are 
our best guarantee for electing 
blacks to office," said Larry 
Little, a black Winston-Salem al-
derman. . 

For example, in 1982, Jim Rich­
ardson, a 'black Democrat from 
Meckl~nburg, narrowly ·missed 
winning one of eight House seats. 
He finished ninth, just 250 votes 
behind incumbent Gus Economos 
in eighth place. 

Yet, according to an analysis by 
Bill Culp, Mecklenburg elections 
supervisor, Richardson received 
more than 75% of the vote in pre­
dominantly black precincts; most 
of which probably will be drawn 
into single-member districts this 
week. Richardson's share in pre­
dominantly white precincts was 
under 35%, Culp said. 

"If I had been running in a pre­
dominantly black district, there's 
no question I would have won 
against a white candidate," Rich­
ardson said •. 

Single-member districting Is a 
potential boon to Republicans as 
well as blacks. Republican offi­
