Maddox Sees New
Conservative Surge
ATLANTA (UPI) — "Conser
vatism is the surest route to
success” says Gov. Lester Mad
dox in a speech predicting a
new surge of conservative feel
ing across the nation.
Maddox addressed the Con
servative Club in Atlanta

He warned liberal politicians

Rescuers Have
No Hot Leads
On Missing Plane
BLAIRSVILLE, Ga. (UPI)—
Rescue workers were without
any “hot leads” today after
chasing down a dozen or more
in six days of searching for a
Virginia family, missing with
their plane since last Friday.
A spokesman for the Air Res
cue Center at Robins Air Force
Base said “The search is still
more or less centered around
Blairsville. That’s where the
heaviest concentration (of ef
forts) is now.”
Using light airplanes, a heli
copter, and ground parties, the
search has skipped about across
north Georgia in response to re
ports of downed aircraft.
One person still has hope of
finding the four members of the
family alive. Homer B. Stewart,
brother of the plane’s pilot, said
“I most assuredly am hoping
they’re alive — especially the
children; they’re younger and
can stand more.”
Missing were William Stew
art, a Sandston, Va. construc
tion firm supervisor, his wife
Elsie, and daughters, Kathy, 9,
and Patricia, 3.
Stewart’s brother, a Gaines
ville, Ga., bricklayer, has been
with the search since it started
last Friday evening.
Reports of sightings in the
Morganton area were checked
Thursday but proved errone
ous.
The aircraft went down while
on a flight from Richmond, Va.
to Lawrenceville, Ga., where
Stewart’s family lives.
