Muscogee
Studies
Court Change
ATLANTA (UPD—A proposal
to put Muscogee County into a
new Superior Court district was
under study today by a commit
tee chosen Monday to study
feasibility of such a move.
Muscogee, containing popu
lous Columbus, would be taken
away from the Chattahoochee
Judicial District, made up also
of Harris, Marion, Talbot, Tay
lor and Chattahoochee counties,
and put it in a new district,
possibly joining Peach County.
House Speaker George L.
Smith and Lt. Gov. George T.
Smith named a joint legislative
committee to study the proposal
with an eye toward making a
recommendation to the 1970
General Assembly.

Eating Too Fast a Cause
Os Gas in Stomach, Bowel
By WAYNE G. BRANDSTADT, M.D.
Q —l have an excessive
amount of gas after meals no
matter what I eat. The non
prescription drugs I have
tried have not helped. What
do you advise?
A—Eating too fast and
conscious efforts to belch
cause you to swallow air.
This increases the gas both
in your stomach and your
bowel. In addition to this,
gas in the bowel comes from
the fermentation of such
foods as dry beans, corn,
peas, potatoes and members
of the cabbage family. When
you eat a meal, the disten
tion of your stomach puts
added pressure on your
lower bowel and increases
the expulsion of gas.
Several preparations that
contain methypolysiloxane,
some of them requiring no
prescription, are now availa
ble. They have been a god
send to airplane pilots and
astronauts in whom high
altitudes favor the expansion
of any gases contained in the
body.
Q—After every meal I
have rumbling and gurgling
in my abdomen. I also belch
a lot. Is this due to indiges
tion or an ulcer?
A—Your rumblings are
caused by the movement of
a mixture of gas and fluid in
your digestive tract. They
are not, in themselves, a
sign of either disease but
may be associated with vari
ous gastrointestinal disturb
ances.

coming to Griffin in 1956, he
was employed at Duke Hosnftal
in Durham, N. C. He completed
requirements for a Masters De
gree in Guidance and Counsel
ing from West Georgia College
in June.
Q—l am taking Librium
for bloating and stomach up
sets. Do you know of any
thing better for those condi
tions?
A—Librium is a tranquil
izer. Although it may help
to relieve a “nervous stom
ach,” it will not remove the
underlying cause, which
should be determined by
your physician or a special
ist in gastrointestinal dis
eases.
Q—Can the paternity of a
child be determined through
blood tests? If so, where are
such tests made?
A—ls an agglutination test
of a baby’s blood with the
serum of the alleged father
is negative, this would prove
that the man is not the
father. If the test is positive
it indicates that the man
may be the father but it is
not proof thereof. This test
can be made in any clinical
laboratory.
Q—l have been taking
Atromid-S for a heart condi
tion. Do these tablets cause
an increase in urination?
A—Not unless you use a
lot of water to get them
down.

Western Electric
Workers End
Sympathy Strike
ATLANTA (UPD — Western
Electric Installers in an eight
state area returned to work to
day after a one-day sympathy
walkout Monday in support of
work jurisdiction dispute cen
tered in Mobile, Ala.
In all, an estimated 3,200 em
ployes left their jobs, but the
Alabama installers were the
only ones expected to stay off
work until the dispute is settled.
However, there appeared to
be no disruption of telephone
service. The workers involved,
members of Local 3290 of the
Communication Wo rke r s of
America, install in-plant equip
ment for Bell Telephone sys
tems in Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama, Louisiana, Mississip
pi, Georgia, Florida and North
and South Carolina.
Phil Padgett, president of the
local, said workers in Mobile
began the walkout to protest
the practice of South Central
Bell Telephone Co. hiring work
ers to do installation work, in
stead of using the installers of
Western Electric—a Bell subsi
diary.
"It precipitates some of our
people having to take transfers
to find work,” Padgett said. He
said it was the fourth time this
year that the Mobile workers
have walked out over similar
matters.

‘Beret’ Investigation
Temporarily Stopped
Communications
Satellite Hurled
Into Parking Orbit
CAPE KENNEDY (UPD—A
sls million pathfinder for
advanced communications and
weather satellites soared into
orbit today in the first step of
an attempt to use gravity for
an economical spacecraft con
trol system.
The experimental one - ton
craft, an applications technolo
gy satellite called ATS 5, was
scheduled to reach its final
stationary orbit 22,300 miles
above the Pacific Ocean this
evening.
A week after it is parked in
an orbit that keeps it constantly
over one spot on earth, ATS 5
will sprout silver-plated, X
shaped booms 253 feet long to
try out the gravity stabilization
technique in stationary orbit for
the first time.
The idea is to utilize basic
principles of physics: The pull
of gravitv on one end of the
booms will be slightly greater
ths.” on the our r end land
therefore one side of the
satellite should constantly face
earth—just as the moon does in
its distant orbit.
Such a control system would
be ideal for radio relay and
weather watching satellites that
must keep antennas and
cameras pointed toward the
earth in stationary orbits.
Gravity control requires none
of the gas thrusters, sensors
and complicated electronics
used for such stabilization
today.
The satellite, shaped like a
drum six feet long and five feet
in diameter, was launched at
7:01 a.m. EDT by a 118-foot
Atlas-Centaur rocket that thun
dered into the clear dawn sky,
leaving a long trail of orange
fire and brownish-white smoke
in its wake.

SAIGON (UPD—The Army
has temporarily suspended Its
investigation of murder charges
against eight Special Forces
(Green Beret) officers, the
civilian lawyer for one of the
accused said today.

of Cheraw, S.C., conferred for
three hours today with his
client, Maj Thomas E. Middle
ton of Jefferson, S.C.. nt, Long
Binh military stockade, 15
miles north of Saigon.
“I suppose this suspension is
to work out the attorney thing,”
Gregory said “I don’t know
how long the suspension will be
for but the pre-trial investiga
tion is about half finished.”
The investigation is to
determine whether the Army
will hold a general court
mart’al or special court martial
