CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP): C&S takeover droppped.
NCNB Inc. announced Monday it was dropping its $2.4 billion bid to
acquire The Citizens & Southern Corp. because the Atlanta bank had
refused to discuss the proposal. The Charlotte, N.C., banking
company launched the takeover bid last month. It was promptly
rejected by the C&S board, which turned down appeals by NCNB
Chairman Hugh L. McColl to negotiate a new deal. C&S officials were
not immediately available for comment because their telephones were
busy. NCNB made the initial offer, which would have created the
nation’s sixth largest bank, on March 30.
ATLANTA (AP): Harris vetoes death penalty bill. Gov.
Joe Frank Harris on Monday vetoed legislation that would have
allowed judges to impose the death penalty in some cases where the
jury could not reach unanimous agreement on punishment. Harris
said he supports capital punishment “but in the final analysis, I
believe that the decision to execute an individual should be made by
no less than a unanimous vote of 12 citizens." The bill would have
allowed judges to impose the death penalty in cases where the jury
deadlocked 10-2 or 11 -1 in favor of capital punishment. Under current
law, a life sentence is mandatory under tnose conditions. Critics of
the legislation included some who argued that any change in the
state’s capital punishment laws could lead to new rounds of appeals
for condemned prisoners.

CHICAGO (AP): Bush 'pleased' with first 100 days.
President Bush on Monday pronounced himself “pleased with the
progress we’ve made" in 100 days in office and said he will soon make
key arms control and foreign policy decisions that will chart a course
for the future. “In three short months we’ve made a good start coming
to grips with issues demanding urgent attention and decisive action,”
he told newspaper publishers attending The Associated Press annual
luncheon. He ticked off his savings and loan legislation, ethics
proposals, the beginning of a war on drugs and agreements with
Congress on the federal budget and Contra aid. At the same time, he
said defense and foreign policy reviews, environmental legislation
and a program to deal with homelessness “are all on the near
horizon." The Bush-Quayle team took office on Jan 20 and marks 100
days on Saturday
WORLD
MOSCOW (AP): Central Committee convenes. Four
years into Mikhail Gorbachev’s reforms, the Communist Party
leadership must decide how to handle restive nationalities, how much
power to give a new legislature and other questions perestroika has
raised. Gennady Gerasimov, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry,
told a reporters no agenda haa been announced for the Central
Committee, which has more than 300 members, but said the
nationalities issue would not be on it. Gorbachev, 58, has said an
entire Central Committee meeting this summer will be devoted to
policy toward the more than 100 nationalities in the Soviet Union.
Tass, the official news agency, said Tuesday a Central Committee
panel meeting Monday worked out ways to increase the effectiveness
of capital investment and management in the social-economic area. It
gave no details. This will be the first full Central Committee meeting
since the March 26 elections, when at least three dozen top local
officials across the country lost bids for seats in a new parliament that
will choose a smaller legislature.

No doubt about it, southerners love their
catfish. And their bass and their trout.
At the Cohutta Fisheries Research Extension
Center in north Georgia, the University School
of Forest Resources and Cooperative Extension
Service are working to make sure we get the
biggest, juiciest, tastiest, most nutritious fish
possible.
Today the center, which the University
leased from the federal Department of the Inte
rior’s Fish and Wildlife Service since 1985, will
be handed over to the Board of Regents for con
tinued use by the University. Then-President
Ronald Reagan approved the deed-transfer last
fall, said Cohutta Center Superintendant Ron
Shinnick said.
The two primary activities conducted at the
center are research and extension demonstra
tions, Shinnick said. The results of the research
provide material for workshops which many re
gional fish farmers attend, he said
"Our extension work is bridging the gap be
tween researchers and fanners,” he said
George Lewis, aquaculture and fisheries
deartmenthead, said since 1985, the center has
had 8,000 to 9,000 visitors attending iti* educa
tional programs.
The center has helped train Peace Corps vol
unteers in fish farming as well as educating
farmers on new production and marketing tech
niques, he said.
Because the facilities are very much like a
typical fish farm, the workshops are very prac
tical, providing useful hands-on experience, he
said.
The center includes 55 acres of hatching fa
cilities, 24 ponds and 20 acres of water, Shin
nick said.
Lewis said current education programs are
encouraging small fish farmers to allow cus
tomers to come to their farms and harvest the
fish themselves, for a fee.
He said the most important research projects
currently are:
• studying the feasability of commercial pro.
duction of striped basH, which involves nutri
tional studies and comparisons of productivity
in open ponds and cages
• a joint effort with Auburn University
studying six genetic strains of channel catfish
to determine which are best for production
• studies to increase productivity and economic
growth in rainbow trout farming
• studies to make feeding catfish more efficient
and less costly.
Even though the University haa been oper
ating the Cohutta Center since 1985, official
ownership will give researchers more flexibility
to alter the facilities to their needs, I*wis said.
The federal government operated the facility
ns a hatchery from 1938 to 1985 before aban
doning it, Shinnick said.
