"CLOTHING OF CHARACTER"
ON THE SQUARE - GRIFFIN, GA.

Monday, October 9, 1967
away with only a scratch on
his forehead when his plane
crashed near a Marietta resi
dential district — also in a
heavy fog.
The Atlanta man, F. E.
Barnes, 40, was admitted to
Gainesville’s Hall County Hos
pital, after Union County Sher
iff H. T. Duncan, who also hap
pened along the highway,
helped the doctor remove
Barnes from the wooded area
on a litter.
The crash occurred around
dusk some 150 yards alongside
of U.S. 129 near Neal’s Gap in
Lumpkin County about 14 miles
north of Cleveland.
Dr. Cecil M. Grogin of Smyr
na said the mountain area was
covered with a heavy fog when
he found Barnes some 50 to 75
yards from the highway.
“He was burned and had a
broken leg and lacerations,*’
Grogin said.
The doctor said he found the
plane, completely burned, hang
ing in trees about 50 yards fur
ther back from where he found
the pilot.
“He had been completely cov
ered with fuel after the crash,”
Grogin said. “When the plane
caught on fire he crawled out
of the cabin and apparently slid
down the wing.
Billion Pact
Not Enough,
Reutther Says
DETROIT (UPD — United
Auto Workers President Walter
P. Reuther, indicating the
current strike against Ford
could be a record breaker, said
Sunday a $1 billion a year,
industrywide contract is not
enough.
Reuther, at a special conven
tion that Sunday approved an
extra S2O million a month dues
assessment from more than one
million UAW members, said the
strike against Ford, now in its
second month, could be a record
breaker unless talks get off
dead center this week.
The longest strike in history,
113 days in 1945-46. was staged
against General Motors Corp.
Delegates to the emergency
convention overwhelmingly ap
proved the special monthly dues
increase of $250 per member to
help finance the Ford strike and
maintain the strike fund in
anticipation of strikes at GM
and Chrysler Corp, when it
becomes their turn to settle.
The delegates also approved a
regular dues increase of 36 per
cent to take effect after the
emergency boost has ended. It
will be based on the equivalent
of two hours of straight-time
pay per month.
17 Killed In

By United Press International
Seventeen persons died in
Georgia weekend accidents, in
cluding two young children who
burned to death in a house fire

Much Married
Manville Dead
CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. (UPD—
Marrying millionaire Tommy
Manville, who once locked his
11th wife out of his home
because he said he was tired of
her “fussing around,” died
Sunday with her at his side. He
was 74.
The widow, German-bom
Christina Erdlen, 26, married
the heir to asbestos millions in
1960 soon after he met her when
she was working as a waitress
at a restaurant in nearby White
Plains, N.Y.
Death came to Manville at his
secluded home in this fashiona
ble New York City suburb. He
had been a frequent heart
patient at Doctors’ Hospital in
New York City during the past
two years.
Will Inherit Fortune
Mrs. Manville is expected to
inherit the bulk of her
husband’s fortune estimated at
S3O million. Manville had no
children and the only other
survivor is the daughter of his
sister.
The fortune, Inherited from
his father who was the founder
and chairman of the Johns-
Manville Corp., has been
reduced by about $2 million by
marriage settlements and law
yers’ fees.
These were run up during a
half century of marriages and
divorces that left his final score
at 13 marriages, 11 divorces, 11
wives and innumerable separa
tions. He married two of his
wives twice and was widowed

Six Escaped
In ‘Key’ Slip;
Four Captured
MARIETTA, Ga. (UPD—Po
lice today widened the search
for two of six men who re
mained at large Sunday night,
after they unlocked their cells
and walked out of the Cobb
County jail.
The six men, all awaiting
trial on charges ranging from
check - forging to armed rob
bery, slipped out of the jail ear
ly Sunday when a guard mis
takenly handed a trusty a mas
ter cell key, instead of one lead
ing to an exercise compound.
Remaining at large were 25-
year-old Gerald F. Summers,
Atlanta, facing trial on drug
charges and Robert L. Denike,
38, Union, N.J., to be tried on
burglary charges.
The other four fugitives were
rounded up by police shortly af
ter the dawn escape in this small
suburban city just north of At
lanta.
Two were captured at separ
ate houses here, while the rest,
considered the most dangerous,
were caught using separate
telephone booths along a high
way south of the city.
They were identified as Lar
ry Joe Risner, 18, of Asheville,
N.C.; Dean Vincent Ford, 23,
Atlanta; Donald Claude Webb,
20, Smyrna; and Leslie Charles
Hattey, 30, Marietta.
Sheriff Kermit C. Sanders
said Risner being held on check
forging charges, apparently was
given a master cell key instead
of a key that would open a cell
block door to let the prisoners
take morning exercise in the
jail compound.
The sheriff said the six then
slipped through the adjoining
