fire - cracked rocks and bone
that has been reduced to ash
with the exception of some very
small fragments,” said Dr. Ar
thur Kelley, head of the team.
“But you can’t reduce human
bone to pure ash,” said Kelley,
professor emeritus of anthropol
ogy at the university. “We
haven’t found any burial evi
dence and this disturbs us.”
The team doesn’t have long
to look.
The site, where bulldozers un
covered the village last Decem
ber, is being made into an in
dustrial park by the Great
Southwest Corp., developers of
Six Flags Over Georgia, a near
by amusement park.
“It’s a race against time,”
said Kelley. “We have maybe
a month or two at the most.”
Kelley said the team is try
ing to uncover as much of the
village as possible in the time
left, photographing, mapping
and cataloging the relics.
“We just hadn’t expected to
find so many houses so beauti
fully preserved. The bulldozers
unintentionally bit into a lot of
prehistory,” Kelley said.
He said the house sites were
marked by fallen support posts,
and each one had a cooking
place and an earthen pot in the
center. The inhabitants, Kelley
said, were members of a preag
ricultural civilization who hunt
ed small mammals.
They sat around the roasting
pit "collectively enjoying” the
meat and tossed the bones back
into the fire, he said.
Also unearthed, he said, was
a clay figurine, about three
inches long, which links the vil
lage site to some finds in other
states dating from the same
period. The village thrived on
the river bank about 1,500 to
2,000 years ago, Kelley said.

Help Support
Youth Campaign
Griffin merchants, who are
participating in the 1969 Youth
Opportunity Campaign, will be
guests at an Atlanta Braves
baseball game and an Atlanta
Chiefs soccer match, according
to Tom Gregory of the Georgia
Retail Association.
For the fourth consecutive
year, GRA is cooperating with
the State Department of Labor
in sponsorng the statewide You
th Opportunity Camaign —a dr
ive to find summer jobs for high
school and college students who
otherwise might be idle. Last
year thousands of young people
were employed during the sum
mer in retail stores. This year,
predicts Mr. Gregory, there will
be even more.
Since 1966 the Atlanta Braves
have expressed their apprecia
tion to employers who have gi
ven jobs to students during the
summer by providing them with
free tickets to a Braves game.
This year they are giving
bonus-tickets also to an Atlanta
Chiefs soccer match. Each
participating employer will be
invited to the Atlanta Chiefs-
Kansas City soccer match on
June 15, and the Atlanta Braves-
Houston Astros game on June
18. Each youth employed will al
so receive free tickets to each
of the games.
Retailers in this area who de
sire further informattion on the
Youth Opportunity Campaign
may contact Edward S. Crouch
of Crouch’s, Griffin.
Maddox Dips

To Help Bibb
MACON, Ga. (UPD — Gov.
Lester Maddox dipped into his
contingency fund again Monday
to help Bibb County, this time
to renovate the Dudley M.
Hughes Vocational School here.
The latest funds, totalling
$70,000, brought to $123,000 the
amount of money the governor
has recently released from his
fund for Bibb County.
Earlier, tne new state patrol
driver’s licensing office in
Macon got $23,000 from Mad
dox’s fund, and then there was
$30,000 for a new Game and
Fish Commission law enforce
ment office in the Tobesofkee
lake and Recreation Area north
of here.
Goldwater
Likes CSA
MARIETTA, Ga. (UPD —U.S.
Sen. Barry Goldwater R-Ariz.
piloted the controversial CSA
Galaxy for about 15 minutes
Monday and liked what he was
driving, said a spokesman for
Lockheed-Georgia.
The Lockheed spokesman
quoted the Arizona senator as
saying he was impressed a
plane so large was so easy to
handle. The spokesman also
quoted Goldwater as saying
there were not “half enough” of
the conroversiial CsA’s, the
world’s largest airplane.
Goldwater, a retired Air
Force major general, has long
been a strong advocate of huge
defense spending. The Lock
heed contract with the Air
Force is under heavy fire in
congressional circles because
cost overruns have jumped the
price of the 115 aircraft order
far beyond the original contract
estimate.

ate Democratic leader Mike
Mansfield said today Earl
Warren’s desire to break in his
successor helped prompt the
quick Senate vote confirming
Warren E. Burger as Chief
Justice.
The Senate confirmed Burger
74 to 3 Monday, but only after
five Democratic senators com
plained the nomination was
being rushed through.
“All the ultraconservatives in
the Senate were gung ho to
have this nomination approved
without delay,” Sen. Stephen M.
Young, D-Ohio, told UPI after
the vote.
The complaints were unex
pected. Mansfield was away,
touring Montana. He said he
would have postponed the vote
if any senator asked him to.
Mansfield said Atty. Gen. John
N. Mitchell also was anxious
for quick confirmation.
"I was requested by the
minority leader to take it up,”
Mansfield said by telephone
from Glasgow, Mont. “I’m
sorry that this difficulty arose .
. . it was my understanding
also that the Chief Justice
Warren wanted to prepare
the way for Mr. Burger to
assume the responsibilities—
getting him (Burger) used to It
before he (Warreu) stepped
down, I suppose.”
Burger’s confirmation cleared
the way for Presidon Nixon to
appoint a Supreme Court
justice to succeed Abe Fortas,
woo resigned amid a controver
sy concerning his acceptance
and subsequent return of a
S2O,CuO foundation fee. Mans
field said “in view of the
sl’.ual’on that developed” on
Burger he would make sure the
Senate moved more slowly in

££“££ New Industries Step Up
Puerto Rico's Boom Pace
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
NEA Washington Correspondent
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (NEA)
Puerto Rico still has a long way to go to reach mainland
America’s average income levels. But it keeps on gaining
and seems to have averted the peril of a heavy exodus of
industry feared when tax lures began to run out.
As an index of fresh promise, capital investment in
machinery and equipment in 10 months of the current
fiscal year hit $370.2 million, compared to $113.6 million
for all of 1967-68. Two or three large installations account
for the surprising bulge.
By June 30, the new yearly figure is expected to surpass
S4OO million, and to provide some 38,800 new jobs. The
1967-68 investment supplied 24,500 jobs.
Industrial payrolls generated by 1967-68 investment came
to $64.1 million. They probably will pass S9O million this
year.
In the mid-19605, the commonwealth’s economic plan
ners grew shaky as the mortality rate for industries lured
to the island by tax concessions rose above 10 per cent for
three years running. But then it dropped back, and the
most recent annual figure is a modest 3 per cent.
What the island’s development agency finds most heart
ening today is the fact that new plants coming in are
major makers of glass products, petro-chemicals and
electronics items which involve investments so large that
a later pullout is considered very unlikely.
Depending on what part of the island is chosen for an
industrial site, newcomer plants are free of the island’s
corporate income tax (maximum 36 per cent) for periods
of 10, 12 or 17 years.
A high proportion of those companies which have left
the island were the celebrated fly-by-night, needle-and
thread enterprises which make a career of seeking tax
and other bargains and have in many cases already cut
a swath through U.S. southern states.
Development officials think that phase is over. They
bank now on what they term big “core” industries, like
petro-chemicals, which they believe will lead to hosts of
satellite firms that can greatly magnify job opportunities
on the crowded island.
Last year Puerto Rico got its total product up to $3,740
billion, an advance over the previous year of 9.1 per cent
after discounting for inflation.
Nevertheless, unemployment today is officially figured
at 12 per cent, and some government officials think the
real total is closer to 30 per cent. If that figure should be
the more accurate, it means that nearly 300,000 islanders
out of a potential work force of 900,000 cannot find adequate
work.
Moreover, in his “state of the commonwealth” address
to the Puerto Rican legislature this January, new Gov.
Luis Ferre said that about 30 per cent of all island urban
housing is inadequate.
Ferre, for one, is not looking only to industry for a big
boost. He wants to sec Puerto Rico’s S2OO million annual
tourist business catapulted to $1 billion a year. The job
gain would be huge.
