ard Overby of Gainesville, told

ers would not be raised. The

bill had the unanimous backing
of an advisory board composed
of labor, management and con
sumer representatives.
The 111-49 vote by which the
bill was passed represented a
narrow eight vote margin.
Benefits will n i be increased
across the board but new cate
gories for higher wages will be
added. Currently, persons earn
ing over $850 in the highest
quarter on which their com
pensation is based receive $35
per week.
The new categories would
provide up to $43 for $1,050
and over earned during the
highest quarter. Two added
categories in 1967 would bring
the maximum to $45 a week for
anyone p-rning over $1,100 in
the highest quarter.
In other action, the House
passed a bill that would in
crease possible prison terms
for stealing autos or parts, sev
eral auto-theft bills were passed
out of a House committee, and
the House Education Committee
was given unanimous consent to
reconsider a minimum wage
proposal for school lunchroom
employes.
The auto theft bill, passed
112-10, sets up uniform manda
tory prison terms of three to
seven years for car thieves and
two to five years for stealing
parts worth more than $1,000,
for first offenders.
For second offenses the pun
ishment would be five to 10
years for either crime and 10
to 20 years for third or sub
sequent convictions. The bill al
lows first offenses to be re
ducible to misdemeanors.
Sen. Paul Broun, who has in
troduced a package of nearly a
dozen bills aimed at the state’s
$8 million annual car theft
racket, said the bill, sponsored
by Rep. Hubert Wells of Wat
kinsville, met his objectives and
that he will sponsor it in the
Senate.
Three of the four bills Broun
is sponsoring received “do
pass” rer >mmendations from
the House Motor Vehicles Com
mittee.
One of the b "i would set up
a commission to regulate and
license salvage yard dealers,
requiring each yard to main
tain records of where parts are
bought and sold. Also, automo
bile makers would be required
to put serial numbers on the
major component parts of ve
hicles sold in Georgia.
In the House Education Com
mittee a bill by Reps. Dorsey
Matthews and Robert Pafford
that was killed Tuesday is up
for reconsideration. It would
guarantee school lunchroom
employes, who now average 77
cents per hour, a minimum of
$1.25 per hour.
The committee agreed to an
amendment to provide the
raises be made by state supple
ment, rather than local financ
ing, when the money is avail
able. In its new form the leg
islation will cost the state noth
ing during the present adminis
tration and the salaries of the
10,000 lunchroom workers would
not be increased.
The House also passed a bill
intended to help pave the way
for lowering the teacher retire
ment age from 65 to 63. The
General Assembly last year
lowered the age technically,
pending appropriation of enough
funds to make the program
fiscally sound.

Senate Makes Minor
Change In Budget Bill
By PATRICK CONWAY
United Press International
ATLANTA (UPI) —The Sen
ate is expected to pass Gov.
Carl Sanders’ $18.5 million sup
plemental appropriations bill
today. One minor change was
made in the bill, however,
which must have the approval
of the House before it can go
on to Gov. Carl Sanders for his
signature.
Tempers in the Senate were
cooled Wednesday when Mrs.
Bruce Schaefer, head of the
Department of Family and
Children Services, calmly ex
plained that she believed the
department actually had the
right under a clause of the 1965
budget to make internal trans
fers of lapsed funds.
Senators had become an
gered Tuesday when they dis
covered that a $1.2 million ap
propriation for participation in
the defunct Kerr-Mills medical
program had been transferred
to another program for care of
the aged.
The reaction to the transfer
held up passage of the supple-

change of mood virtually as
sured passage today.
The Senate amended the bill
with strong language to provide
that funds in the future cannot
be transferred within a depart
ment for new programs unless
authorized by the legislature.
The one minor change that
will send the budget back to
the House did away with a
mandatory state-supported driv
er education program but pro
vided $200,000 for teacher schol
arships to learn driver educa
tion techniques.

gin of Hapeville providing that

Wesberry of Atlanta would ex

MORE SNOW
WASHINGTON (UPI) —The
South, already reeling from
severe cold and snow, can
expect more of the same over
the next 30 days, according to
today’s extended forecast from

The bureau said that precipi

spelled S-N-O-W, is expected to
exceed normal over most of the

coming in the upper and middle

across the Great Lakes to the
