Hanes, is one of the FBl’s 10
most wanted criminals.
Officials said two men held
eight bank employes and two
customers at bay while they

Auto Body Repair
Is 18-Month Course
Auto body and fender repair
Is an eighteen-month course. It
consists of repairing damaged
automobile and truck bodies,
body parts, examining damaged
vehicles and making cost esti
mates, removing upholstery, ac
cessories, electrical and hydrau
lic window and seat operating
equipment and trim to gain ac
cess to vehicle body and fend
ers.
It includes removing dents, re
placing damaged parts, filling
depressions, filing, grinding and
sanding surfaces, and applying
primer and finishing coats of pa
int.
The body repairman’s work is
characterised by variety, becau
se the repair of each damaged
vehicle presents a different pro
blem. Therefore, in addition to
having a broad knowledge of au
tomobile construction and repair
damage Israel incurred.
(It has been estimated the
United States spends $34 million
per day fighting the Vietnam
war.)
De Rothschild said the critical
days of the war and the tense
two weeks before it brought no
disorganization to the Israeli
economy. Although the Israeli
pound climbed to a rate of 4.05
to the dollar during the war, it
lieved to have been near the
scene of the crime.
Roy K. Moore, special agent
in charge of the FBI bureau in

and Bill Hanes checked out of
a motor court in West Birm

to develop appropriate methods
for each repair job. Most body
repairmen find their work chal
lenging and take pride in being
able to restore badly damaged
automobiles.
Thousands of job opportunities
are expected to be available dur
ing the next decade. This poten
tial is due to the ever increasing
number of automobiles and tr
ucks in use. The average hourly
earning for skilled mechanics
in 61 large communities was
$2.60 to $4.80 per hour. It is pos
sible for a body repairman to
earn as much as SIO,OOO in the
larger communities.
Normally the mechanic per
forms his work inside a shop. He
usually works from 40 to 48
hours per week.
The cost of attending Griffin

TEST FLIGHT
EDWARDS AFB, Calif. (UPI)
—The triple sonic XB7O was
flown on its 63rd test flight
Friday to evaluate handling
qualities and outer surface
effects during supersonic
speeds.
The two-hour flight was
restricted to a top speed of 1,000
miles an hour and 42,000 feet
altitude by Air Force Col. Joe
Cotten and Van Sheppard of
North American Aviation.
A National Aeronautics and
Space Administration spokes
man said data obtained from
*the flight would be used to
check out airborne and ground
simulators for future commer
cial supersonic transports.
is now back to under 3.45 to the
dollar.
The Israeli stock market has
climbed 20 per cent in the past
few weeks and investors are
buying at an increasing rate.
Foreign investment has also
given a quick shot in the arm to
the Israeli construction industry
which had dropped to a low
point in months before the war.
Another major Israeli indus
try that promises to soar as a
result of the war is tourism.
The war also brought hopes of
expanded commerce with the
re-opening and securing of the
port of Elath, briefly blockaded
by Egyptian President Gamal
Abdel Nasser, and the possibili
ty that the Suez Canal might be
eventually opened to Israeli
shipping.
New markets are now opened
to Israel with the capture of the
West bank of the Jordan river.
The nation of Jordan always
has needed manufactured goods
and has always sought markets
for its agricultural products.
At one fell swoop, all the
barriers restricting trade be
tween Jordan and Israeli were
torn down. Israeli officials now
believe Israel can trade with
the whole west bank region of
Jordan to the miftual benefit of
both nations.
Thompson Says
Labor Leaders
Used ‘Threat’
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Rep.
Fletcher Thompson, R - Ga.,
Wednesday charged that Atlanta
labor leaders used “threat and
intimidation” against him in
asking his support of a union
backed picketing bill.
Thompson wrote a letter con
taining the charges to Robert
Butler, president of the Atlanta
Labor Council, concerning a
visit Butler made to Thompson’s
congressional office Tuesday.
Butler sought Thompson’s sup
port of a bill to give building
and trades unions expanded
picketing rights at construction
sites.
‘‘l do not appreciate the
threat and intimidation you
used in order to attempt to
coerce my vote against what I
consider to be in the best inter
est of all individual working
people in my district,” Thomp
son wrote.
He also recalled that the visit
resulted in “somewhat heated
discussion” and that Butler said
he was “raising $40,000 to
defeat me in the next election
because I will not support” the
bill.
“I shall continue to work for
the best interest of all the peo
ple in my district,” Thompson
wrote.

Policemen
Guard Home
In Michigan
WARREN, Mich. (UPD—
About 200 policemen were on
alert today, ready to resume a
cordon around the home of a
Negro man and his white wife
who have been the objects of
rocks and epithets hurled the
past three days by angry
neighbors.
Fifty local policemen in this
Detroit suburb of 100,000
persons barricaded streets and
sidewalks surround the home of
Corado Bailey and his wife,
Ruby, Wednesday night.
Another 150 Michigan state
police were placed on standby
alert in the Warren area.
Authorities reported relative
calm prevailed during the night.
Housewives and children in
the neighborhood have gathered
in front of the house the past
few days to shout threats and
obscenities at the family and
toss stones against the $25,000
ranch-style home purchased by
the Baileys less than two weeks
ago by a white intermediary.
The Bailey family, including a
7-year-old daughter and Mrs.
Bailey’s 18-year-old son by a
previous marriage, have es
caped injury. Bailey, a skilled
tradesman at a Detroit auto
plant, stayed home Wednesday
to protect his family.
About 200 angry neighbors
gathered outside the home
Tuesday night to jeer at the
couple. Another 200 gathered at
a public meeting Wednesday
night to try to iron out their
disagreements with police who
would not let them march in
front of the home.
One man vowed, "they (the
police) won’t be able to stay
there forever. And when the
police take down their blockade,
the trouble will start all over
again.”

Soviets Appear Certain
Os Getting UN Session
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.,
(UPD—The Soviet Union today
appeared certain of getting the
U.N. General Assembly emer
gency session it wants to carry
on its anti-Israeli campaign in
the Middle East crisis.
Early returns in a poll of the
world body’s 122 member
nations indicated more than the
necessary 62 votes would be on
Russia's side.
The session might come
Friday night or Saturday.
Moscow diplomatic surces
said Premier Alexei N. Kosygin
would lead the Kremlin delega
tion in its propaganda drive to
name Israel as the “aggressor”
in last week’s war and to get
Israeli troops withdrawn from
occupied Arab lanas.
There was speculation other
world leaders might come and
turn the session into one of the
greatest musters of world
leaders since ousted Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khruschev
attended a session seven years
ago.
U.S. Ambassador Arthur J.
Goldberg was reported to have
said the United States would not
oppose the emergency session.
The session wae taken for
granted, like a political heat
wave.
Hie legal way for the
emergency session was cleared
Wednesday when the 15-nation
Security Council rejected a
Soviet resolution condemning
Israel.

The Russians promptly
dumped their 20-year policy of
refusing to take war and peace
issues to the General Assembly
and pushed for the session to
carry on its campaign to win
Arab friends. Secretary General
Thant duly sent out polling
telegrams to the 122 member
nations.
Once a majority approves, the
session was expected to be
convoked in 24 hours.
The United States kept the
Middle East issue alive in the
Security Council by delaying a
demand for a vote on its
resolution calling for mediation
in the Arab-Israeli dispute.
There was talk the council
and the assembly might meet
concurrently next week.
Few expected much of
anything but a propaganda show
from an assembly session.
Security Council orders are
binding under the U.N. Charter.
The assembly can only give
advice.

Dirt Fanner
Gone Forever,
Maddox Says
ATLANTA (UPD — Gov.
Lester Maddox said Wednesday
he believed “farms are alive as
ever, even though the methods
of agriculture have changed and
the day of the dirt farmer is
gone forever.”
In an address to the Annual
Conference of the Georgia
Teachers of Vocational Agricul
ture, Maddox said the state was
in a period of rapid transition
from an agricultural to an in
dustrial economy.
"We must recognize that yes
terday’s solutions will not solve
tomorrow’s problems,” Maddox
said. “We must be willing to
undergo self-examination when
ever necessary to make certain
that we are getting the job
done.”
Maddox said the teaching of
vocational agriculture was es
sential to the future of Georgia
and every farmer must be
knowledgeable in the latest farm
methods “to feed and clothe
people in this time of booming
population explosion...”
