Maintenance
Hike Sought
ATLANTA (UPI)- Sen. Rob
ert Smalley of Griffin has rec
ommended that the state’s out
lay for school maintenance be
Increased $3.1 million even if it
means a revision of the budget
estimate.
l Smalley and Sen. Jimmy Car
ter of Plains, members of the
Senate appropriations commit
tee, have both come out in fa
vor of raising the state contri
bution to school maintenance
(M ft O) from the current $450
per teacher to local systems to
at least $550 per teacher. Main
tenance is estimated to cost an
average of $872 per teacher
with the local systems making
up the difference.
Gov. Carl Sanders’ $18.5 mil
lion supplemental appropria
tions bill, already passed by
the House, contains no provi
sions lor increasing the so
called M & O allocations.

Mills Lane Proposes
‘Forward Georgia 9
\ ATLANTA (UPI)— An Atlan
ta banker, Mills B. Lane, has
called for an intensive “For
ward Georgia” program to pro
mote the state and the crea
tion of a forward Georgia Insti
tute to recommend programs
in various fields.
Lane, speaking to a group of
mayors Sunday night on the
eve of the annual “Mayor’s
Day” at the state legislature,
said the program would be con
ducted over a 17-year period
climaxed in 1983, the 250th an
niversary of the state.
The institute. Lane said,
would recommend programs in
taxation, highways, mass
It, education, penal reforms,
delinquency, recreation, housing
and the arts.
“We must pick the brains of
the outstanding specialists in
these fields in Georgia,” Lane
said.
Lane, who has been in
terested in Georgia politics
many years, said Georgia could
become one of the top 10 states
In the country by 1983 and esti
mated that the state’s popula

ing an additional $100 per
teacher added to M ft O
funds,” Smalley said Sunday.
“I’d be perfectly willing to vote
with the General Assembly to
increase the budget estimate.”
Last week Sanders proposed
that the M ft O allocations be
boosted by modification of the
present law that says all allo
cations unspent at the end of
the fiscal year must lapse. San
ders said he would not oppose
legislation providing that any
money not spent by the Educa
tion Department would auto
matically shift to M ft O.
The department had about
$5.5 million left over last July
mainly because of an over
estimation of a new program
providing extra professional
staff members for teachers.
The unspent money is now up
for reappropriation in the sup
plemental budget.
tlon at that time would be in
creased by 30 per cent.
He said Included in the “For
ward Georgia” program would
be construction of a replica of
the S. S. Savannah, the first
steamship to cross the Atlantic.
The ship left Savannah and
reached England In 1819.

Baker Indicted;
Trial Set Oct. 14
WASHINGTON (UPI) —
Robert G. (Bobby) Baker
pleaded Innocent today to a
nine-count federal indictment
charging him with grand
larceny, tax evasion, fraud and
conspiracy.
Trial date was set for Oct. 14
for the 37-year-old former
Senate aide, once a protege of
President Johnson when the
latter was a senator. He was
arraigned in U. S. District
Court before Chief Judge
Matthew McGuire.
McGuire set Baker’s bond at
$5,000. He ordered all pre-trial
motions filed by June 27.
Broun Pushes
For Auto Theft
Package Of Bills
ATLANTA (UPI)— Sen. Paul
Broun of Athens said today
that he will push to get his en
tire package of bills to combat
auto theft in Georgia out of the
Senate Rules Committee.
The committee, last week,
approved part of the package
but delayed consideration on
six measures after voting to
kill two.
Broun said he had little hope
of reviving the two bills that
were killed. They would have
given the Georgia Bureau of in
vestigation and the State Patrol
widespread powers to go any
where in the state necessary to
enforce the law.

Six Remove
Names From
Committee Plea
ATLANTA (UPI) — Six of
some 70 House members who
originally signed a measure to
create a legislative im-Amerl
lean activities committee re
moved their signatures today by
the time the House opened for
business.
Some observers predict
ed many more of the signers
would seek to withdraw their
names before the end of the
day.
The six names were obliterat
ed beyond recognition.
Gov. Carl Sanders spoke un
favorably of the proposal at a
news conference Friday.
The resolution would set up
a committee with apparently no
limit on expenses and with sub
poena powers to investigate any
evidence of subversive activity
in Georgia. It could meet at any
time.
Sanders told reporters that
“when we get down to setting
up a committee with unlimited
financing and subpoena powers
it would be very difficult for
this to pass In the legislature.”
The governor said he would
not support anything that re
sembles a “witch • hunt” and
added:
“I think historically the legis
lature has refrained from set
Ing up committees of this
kind.”
The measure was assigned to
the administration - controlled
Rules Committee where It prob
ably would die if a substantial
number of original signers with
drew support
Williams Claims
Police Brutality
BIRMINGHAM (UPI)—Hosea
Williams, an aide to Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., Sunday
charged “police brutality” aft
er his arrest on drunk and reck

Williams, 42, who led demon
strations against alleged voter
registration d i s c r i m ination
here, called police a “bunch of
lying, thieving Negro haters.”
The Southern Christian Lead
ership Conference official was
arrested at 3:15 a.m. and
charged with running a red
light and driving under the in
fluence of alcohol. He is to ap
pear before a traffic court
judge tonight.
According to Williams, a po
liceman on a motorcycle fol
lowed him after he turned a
corner and asked to see his
driver’s license.
“As soon as he looked at the
name he turned and said very
sarcastically, “So you’re the
nigger that is going to put
some black in these suits’,”
Williams said.
Williams said he told the of

and then I won’t be afraid when
that Negro policeman stops me

next four years.
Peters told the Albany Ki
wanls Club that all Georgia
children will never receive
equal education opportunity so
long as classroom quality de
pends greatly on present local
property tax revenues.
This local taxation for schools
cannot continue to “pyramid,”
Peters said.
“There is not the least doubt
in my mind the voters of this
state would overwhelmingly ap
prove such a program provided
Constitution provisions are so
changed that ad valorem taxes
...would not be Increased but
maybe in some instances de
creased," he said.
Widespread Opposition
Peters has repeatedly urged
that the sales tax be increased
from 3 per cent to 4 per cent
to provide a huge spurt in
state financing but the idea of
doing so in one immediate step
has met widespread opposition.
Gov. Carl Sanders and vir
tually all General Assembly
leaders have predicted such a
proposal would have little
chance of passing In the cur
rent legislative session.
Peters, with apparent refer
ence to Sanders’ view, made
these comments:
