ATLANTA (UPI)-The House
Urban Caucus will move this
week to delete a proposed milk
price fixing board from the pro
posed new constitution, and if
they are unsuccessful, likely op
pose the document.
The caucus, a loose coalition
of city-oriented legislators form
ed last year, met Sunday night
on the eve of the second week
of consideration of the proposed
new constitution in the House.
House Speaker George L.
Smith predicted Sunday night
that the document, on which the
House began working last
Wednesday, will be ready for a
final vote on Thursday.
The Urban Caucus, headed by
Rep. Joe Mack Wilson of Mari
etta, decided Sunday night
against going on record yet as
either favoring or opposing the
document. But the members
said they would take no part
in a rumored move to table the
constitution before the final
vote.
Wait To See
Instead, they decided to wait
to see what is finally included
in the constitution before it
comes up for a vote. Wilson
said a position will be taken by
the group before then and, if it
is unacceptable to them, “we
have the votes to beat it.”
The items included in the
document during voting last
week —constitutional allocation
of gasoline taxes to the High
way Department and creation
of the milk pricing board—are
especially hard for the urban
legislators to swallow.
But members indicated Sun
day they have given up on the
gasoline allocation, a feature in
the current constitution. “We’ve
made our point on that for now,”
one said.
But the milk board is another
matter, and the urban legisla
tors asked one of their mem
bers, DeKalb Rep. Elliott Levit
as, to make a motion to recon
sider including it in the consti
tution. J . x . ..
A proposed amendment to the
current constitution which would
have created a similar board
was defeated by the voters in
1968.
After a meeting of 20 to 30
of the Urban Caucus leaders
Sunday night, they issued a po
sition paper which said “certain
amendments adopted last week
would render the revised con
stitution unacceptable.
“While the caucus decided not
to favor a motion to tazle prior
to final consideration of the doc
ument, if the necessary changes
are not made, then the caucus
would be inclined to oppose the
document,” the paper said.
“Among the items which the
caucus believes unacceptable is
the Northcutt amendment
(backed by dairy operator Rep.
Lamar Northcutt of Clayton
County) to establish a price fix
ing milk board, and the pro
posed Brooks Amendment call
ing for constitutional freezing of
county and municipal grants.”
Rep. George Brooks of Craw
ford, a leader of rural forces in
the House, has proposed an
amendment which would freeze
into the constitution the current
state grants to cities and coun
ties totaling some $9.5 million.
Action on his amendment was
put off last week until today.
The caucus also went on rec
ord as favoring passage of
funds this session to provide
matching grants to local govern
ments for funds to build facili
ties to fight water pollution.
The State Water Quality Con
trol Board is seeking $lO million
for grants to match federal
funds for polution control. But
most legislative leaders have
indicated that $5 million is
about all that will be approved.
Rep. Howard Atherton of
Marietta told the urban group
that federal funds on hand
would require less than the $lO
million in state funds sought by
the Water Quality Control Board
to match.

Money—
NEW YORK (UPl)—Michael
James Brody, who now says he
will distribute SIOO billion, or
maybe an even trillion, also
promises a plan for peace in
Vietnam to President Nixon
plus cures for cancer and all
other diseases.
Brody, whose long red hair
and hip clothing belie his
claimed wealth, insists he will
give away money to anyone
who needs it.
Before a national television
audience on the Ed Sullivan
Show Sunday night, Brody, 21,
played a 12-string guitar and
sang a ballad written by Bob
Dylan, “You Ain’t Goin’ No
where.” Then he proclaimed
again:
“I’m worth 100 billion dollars.
Does that stagger your mind?
In fact, that was yesterday. I
might be worth a trillion
today.”
Crowds Mob Theater
Crowds of people, many of
whom said they hoped for a gift
from Brody, mobbed the
college dropout philanthropist
as he entered and left the
theater. “You’re killing me,”
he shouted before police hustled
him into a car and he drove
away.
He made promises to bestow
massive sums upon North
Vietnam in order to end the
war and called on Nixon to
meet him this afternoon at
Kennedy International Airport
here to discuss poverty and
world peace.
“I have cures for all
diseases,” Brody said. “I have
a cure for cancer.”
He promised to disclose it at
the airport during a news
conference.
A reporter for the New York
Times, who traveled to Puerto
Rico with the Brodys over the
weekend, reported today the
young heir conceived his plan
to give away his money while

Brody Continues
To Give It Away
he was “tripped out on drugs.”
Meets Wife In Scarsdale
The report added Brody met
Renee (his wife), when she
came to Scarsdale, N.Y., where
he lived in a rented SBO,OOO
house, “to sell Michael and
some of his friends some
hashish.”
As Brody escalated estima
tions of his wealth Sunday,
circumspect statements from
his bankers were less dazzling.
Officials of the Continental
Bank of Chicago, who would not
discuss Brody’s actual net
worth, said the initial reports
he had inherited $25 million
were a “gross exaggeration.”

The money came from Brody’s

Jelke, the oleomargarine manu
facturer, who died in 1966. The
estate, filed for probate, was
said to be worth $6,881,000,
divided among several benefici
