Here’s What
Measure
Would Provide
ATLANTA (DPI) — Here are
major provisions of the hunting
and fishing license bill as
passed Tuesday by the House:
It would make these increases
in annual resident licenses:
— Fishing, $1.25 to $2.25.
— Hunting, $2.25 to $3.25.
— Combination, $3.25 to $5.25.
— Bow and arrow hunting,
$2.25 to $3.25.
— Trapping, where permitted,
$3 to $4.25.
(Persons under 16 would still
need no licenses.) .........
It would make these increases
for nonresidents:
— Fishing (annual) $6.25 to
$7.25; (Five days) $1.25 to $2.25.
—Hunting (10 days) $12.50 (no
such license now).
— Hunting, (annual) $20.25 to
$25.25.
— Hunting on public preserves
$5.25 (no change), on private
preserves (annual) $12.50 (new
type of license).
— Hunting, bow and arrow,
(annual), $20.25 to $25.25; (10
days) $12.50 (new type license).
— Trapping, (annual) where
permitted, $25 to $35.
It would allow one to hunt or
fish free on his own land. Pres
ent law allows free fishing In
ones own pond but not a stream,
and requires a license to hunt
on ones own land.
It restates present law requir
ing no license for salt water
fishing. It leaves unaffected pres
ent honorary free license for
persons 65 years old or older
and for disabled veterans.
It raises an estimated $850,
000 in additional revenue. The

Campbell Looks To
Senate For More
Fire Ant
present revenue is about $1.5
million. The legislature appro
priates about the same amount
annually to maintain the depart
ment and the federal govern
ment adds about $500,000.
From questioning during
Campbell’s appearance before
the Senate appropriations Com
mittee Tuesday It appeared
Sen. Brooks Pennington, Senate
agriculture committee chair
man, favored giving it to Camp
bell.
In addition, a number of
senators who have problems
back home with farms being
damaged by destructive fire ant
mounds appeared to go alolng
with Campbell’s request for a
full $400,000 restoration.
The problem of where to get
the money was likely to arise
this afternoon when the Senate
committee begins action on Gov.
Carl Sanders’ $18.5 supplement
al appropriations bill.
Trim Funds
In the House Campbell’s com
mittee friends pushed through
a vote to trim $200,000 from
$800,000 funds for a proposed
mental health center at Bain
bridge and give It to Campbell
for his fire ant warfare.
Campbell said the biennial
budget passed in 1965 financed
full scale eradication by aerial
spraying during the current fis
cal year but reduced the war to
one of mere containment for the
next fiscal year.
Nor did Sanders’ supplemental
budget contain a dime more for
Campbell to continue a full
scale fight.
The committee was also urged
to support a project to build a
$5 million underground parking
garage with a state park across
tiie street from the Capitol.
Three Governments
The garage would be located
on a plot of land surrounded by
the Capitol, the city hall and
the Fulton County courthouse
and would be shared by three
governments.
State Auditor Ernest Davis,
who appeared before the com
mittee Tuesday, said the state
would have to guarantee $350,
000 annually to retire the bond
issues for construction of the
garage. However, the three
governments and the operators
of the garage would pay toward
amortizing Its cost.
Davis said that after the cost
was paid in 18 or 19 years the
property would revert to the
state which would then receive
all income from garage rent
als.
Campbell, who explained the
budget items for his depart
ment, also said he needed $40,
000 a year to finance a poultry
market report that was discon
tinued by the D. S. Agriculture
Department He also asked for
$120,000 for a bond issue to fi
nance major improvements
at the Columbus farmers’ mar
ket.

Cong Pall Revenge
Attack In Viet Nam
By Michael t, malloy
United Press International
SAIGON (DPI) —The Com
munist Viet Cong, striking only
hours before a Lunar New Year
cease-fire goes into effect,
swept through a refugee village
south of Da Nang today and
shot dpwn men women and
children in what appeared to be
a vicious act of revenge.
Though fighting elsewhere in
Viet Nam came almost to a
stop, a government spokesman
said the Viet Cong struck the
village of Tu Hiep, 36 miles
southwest of Da Nang, and
massacred 33 civilians and
wounded 54 while holding off
government troops with a
mortar barrage.
Reports from Tu Hiep said
one mother and her infant were
cruelly gunned down after the
mother had pleaded on her
knees for the child’s life.

fighting issued in Da Nang said

House Panel
Okays Bill On
Drunk Test
ATLANTA (DPI)—The House
Motor Vehicles Committee
Tuesday approved a bill to al
low traffic officials to force a
suspected drinking driver to
take a blood test.
Some committee members ex
pressed misgivings about the
soundness of the bill and indi
cated they approved it merely
because they believed it deserv
ed full debate.
The state and federal consti
tutions both declare that no one
can be forced to furnish evi
dence against himself.
The bill seeks to sidestep the
Constitution by declaring that a
person obtaining a driver’s li
cense gives an “implied con
sent” to having his blood tested
if he is suspected of violating
laws forbidding driving under
the influence of alcohol.
The committee also approved
bills that would require auto li
cense plates to be reflectorized
and to require almost all state
highway patrol cars to have
easily identifiable dome lights
and uniform two-tone colors —
Confederate gray and blue.
Each highway patrol station
would be allowed to maintain
one car that is “marked” In
the present way—any color with
signs on the side and rear that
motorists find hard to spot from
a distance.
