Jackson readies
mayorlty bid
ATLANTA <UPI) — Maynard Jackson, first Negro ever
elected vice mayor of Atlanta, announced his candidacy for
mayor of Georgia's capital city Wednesday with a "get tough"
stance on law and order.
Jackson became the fifth candidate and second black to
announce his intention to seek the post now occupied by Major
Sam Massed, who is expected to enter his name for
re-election.
"We must start recognizing the causes of street crime, drug
abuse and unemployment," said Jackson to a crowd of about
250 persons who jammed the aldermanic chambers. "There
has been an inadequate police protection and response.”
Jackson’s candidacy paired him against another black
mayor hopeful, state Sen. Leroy Johnson, and threatened to
split Atlanta’s powerful black vote. Black Atlantans currently
hold 53 per cent of the population while white residents exert a
slight edge in voter registration.
Macon opposes
fluoridation law
MACON, Ga. (UPI) — The city of Macon has moved to
block a statewide fluoridation law which was bitterly
denounced by Mayor Ronnie Thompson.
Thompson directed City Attorney Lawton Miller Sr. to file
suit in Bibb Superior Court against the law, which makes
fluoridation of all drinking water in Georgia mandatory.
Thompson said Macon voters showed their preference when
they voted down the special water treatment in a 1970 special
referendum and claimed the law should not be “forced” on
the residents.
Signed into law Monday by Gov. Jimmy Carter, the bill is
unique in providing financial assistance to counties and
municipalities to put the program into effect. Effective July 1.
the law requires the state to pay for all fluoridation equipment
and supply chemicals for the first six months.
Mutiny splits Indians;
plane brings supplies
PINE RIDGE. S.D. (UPI> — A government negotiator said
Wednesday he has learned that a mutiny, which escalated into
an armed confrontation, has split the Indian militants holding
Wounded Knee.
Assistant Attorney (ieneral Kent Frizzell said an informant
got word out of the occupied hamlet that a violent
disagreement erupted between two chief leaders of the
American Indian Movement (AIM) and Oglala Sioux who
have teamed with AIM in the 29-day-old occupation.
Frizzell said the forces of AIM leaders Russell Means and
Dennis Banks "got the drop” on the dissident Oglala group led
by Pedro Bissonette in a guns-drawn showdown and remained
in command in the besieged village.
Means and Banks, who had slipped out of Wounded Knee
early this week, returned there before the mutiny, the
government learned, and Frizzell said the informer quoted
Banks as saying. "I am going for broke today.”
Frizzell indicated that he had information that about KM)
Oglalas. natives of the Pine Ridge Reservation, may decide to
leave Wounded Knee and come out through the forces of U S.
marshals. FBI agents and Bureau of Indian Affairs police
encircling the village
If they lay down their arms and quit the occupation, the
government negotiator said, the occupying force would
dwindle to only 50 or 60 persons.
Frizzell, asked if the government forces had any plans to
close in on Wounded Knee if the mutiny escalated further,
said, "it is not our desire to create bloodshed." He had
warned Tuesday that the shooting around the village, in which
a US marshal was seriously wounded Monday night, "is
going to stop one way or the other — by negotiation or
otherwise."
He said the government's informant, whom he described as
reliable in the past and not a "government man." reported
that a private plane landed inside government lines at
Wounded. Knee Tuesday and unloaded supplies of ammunition
and food

Lynn's increases prices

Lynn's Restaurant
247 East Broad I !t'j minute
walk from l.iimpkiii at Baxter)
Open 7 a.m. to 7::tu pin.
(Closed Sunday)
-Ounplele dinners: $1.2.7 to St.
Like some other Athens
restaurants. Lynn's increased
their prices during the quarter
break, when the students were
not looking. Unfortunately lor
Lynn's, the price increase
eliminated the only dining
distinctions the restaurant
could boast.
Of course, in the President's
economy. Lynn's had no choice
but to meet rising beef prices,
but now the $1 29 complete
dinner costs $139 and no
longer rates as a true bargain.
That's Lynn's present predica
ment nothing is special about
the restaurant except its
convenient location across
Broad from the north campus.
Keen where Lynn's tries to
be special, it fails. For
example, the service is quick,
but too quick As soon as the
waitress has handed the client
a menu, she stand waiting to
take the order As a result,
most customers feel rushed
into selecting from the com
plete dinner offerings rather
than making a choice after a
perusal of the entire menu
Lunch is the best time to read
the menu because the dining
room is often a bit crowded
then
Another example of special
but ineffectual service is the
use ol fresh potatoes for
trench fries, while most
restaurants use frozen spuds.
Vet the potatoes are evidently
tried in the same grease as
chicken, fish, and veal, and
carry those combined and
contrary flavors.
Lynn's entrees almost all
carry the same burden of
unspeciality, either for piquan
cy or price For example,
Lynn's six fried shrimp with
fries and salad are palatable
enough, but a local seafood
house offers a tastier version
in a more attractive atmos
phere tor the same price
* SI .751. Similarly, the chicken
dinner < $1.39) is unspecial
since it includes only two often
small pieces of chicken fried in
the multi-purpose grease.
On the plus side ol mediocri
ty Lynn's can pride ilsell on a
clean, brightly lit. and nicely
cared for dining room. There
are numerous small booths for
the single diner who is often
shunted to the counter or dark
corners in other restaurants.
Service is invariably friendly
and ias before warned'
terribly quick.
Breakfasts are a new plume
for Lynn's cap I Lynn's started
serving breakfast again this
past Monday), with prices
starting at 50 cents. For
breakfast. Lynn's is very
competitive, for instance serv
ing two eggs, sausage, grits,
toast, jelly and coffee for 91)
cents.
Hamburgers are the only
bargain among Lynn's sand
wiches which start at 35 cents
for egg salad and 40 cents for
grilled cheese. The hamburger,
however, is only 45 cents (55
cents dressed) for what
appears to be a quarter pound
patty on a large bun.

Guerrilla fighters employing
Ihe tactics of Vietnam's Viet
Cong are challenging the
Philippines government of
President Ferdinand E. Mar
cos in both the north and the
south
Both are led by young
intellectuals who in 1970 began
touching off the brush fires of
discontent among the contry’s
38 million inhabitants, from the
slums of Manila to the sugar
fields of the north and to the
Moslem minority in the sputh.
In the south the guerrillas
call themselves the Moslem
Revolutionary Forces.
In the north they are the
New People's Army, succes
sors of the Mao-oriented
Hukbalahaps They call them
selves the Re-established Com
munist Party of the Philip
pines.
Numerically, both are com
paratively small. As do the
Viet Cong, they operate within
the population.
Philippines army intelligence
places N.P.A. strength at 200
•
men. plus 800 cadres, and
40,000 sympathizers.
In the south. Moslem rebels
are placed at about 3,000, with
many thousands of sympathiz
ers among a Moslem popula
tion of about three-and-a-half
million.
They are especially active on
Mindanao island and the Sulu
islands stretching southward
toward Malaysia
In Manila, police blamed
Moslem dissidents for an
assassination attempt against
the secretary of defense, the
chief of staff of the armed
forces and the secretary of
information. A leaflet reported
ly foCmd on the body of one of
the attackers bore the mark
ing, "Free Mindanao Republic
Revenge Group.’’
Marcos has charged foreign
connivance in both north and
south, but government tactics
to eradicate the menace
scarcely seem designed to win
sympathizers to the govern
ment side
A government scorched
earth policy in the north
produced some 50,00 refugees.
Similar tactics in the south
are said to have forced some
90,000 refugees off the land in
Cotabato province on Minda
nao alone.
The troubles in the south
began in 1970 when Moslems
began resorting to violence to
hold their lands against
Christian migration
For a number of reasons
fighting in the south has taken
on international complications.
Marcos' charge that foreign
troops, "some in uniform”,
were taking part in the
Moslem revolt created a
possibility he would call for aid
under the terms of the
Southeast Asia Treaty Organi
zation.

Carter signs
death penalty
reinstatement
ATLANTA (UPI) - Gov
Jimmy Carter quietly signed
into law yesterday a bill
restoring capital punishment in
Georgia
Acting with little advance
word Carter signed the new
law along with several others
It goes into effect immediately
and makes murder, rape,
armed robbery and kidnaping
punishable by death under
certain conditions.
It also makes airplane
hijacking and treason capital
crimes
Opponents of the bill claim it
will not withstand a challenge
by the U S Supreme. Court
which last year declared the
death penalty unconstitutional
because it was arbitrarily as
sessed
