real estate dealers who use
scare tactics to force white
homeowners in neighborhoods
undergoing racial transition to
sell.
The attorney general cited a
1969 commission regulation pro
hibiting blockbusting and noted
the 1970 blockbusting control law
passed by the General As
sembly.
He admitted, however, that
under the law the commission
can only revoke a salesman’s or
broker’s license if “he has been
found guilty” of a violation in
court.
Gov. Jimmy Carter named a,
special six-man committee to in
vestigate the problem last week.
Gov. Carter set
to appear on TV
ATLANTA (UPI)-Gov. Jim
my Carter is scheduled to ap
pear on the Georgia educational
television network tonight for a
viewer-participation telecast on
government and the natural en
vironment.
The telecast, scheduled to be
gin at 9 p. m., is one of a series
of eight planned during the sum
mer on the “Goals for Georgia”
program, started by Carter to
promote more grass-roots in
volvement in state government.
A panel consisting of State
Rep. Howard Rainey of Cordele,
State Game and Fish Commis
sion Director Joe Tranner and
Brunswick attorney Reid Harris
will appear to answer questions
from the audience. Viewers may
call, toll-free, 1-800-282-8653.
Irvin holding
line on spending
ATLANTA( UPI)-Notingthat
state revenues are expected to
fall S3O million below estimates,
Agriculture Commissioner Tom
my Irvin has ordered his depart
ment to keep spending to a
minimum.
Irvin announced an SBO,OOO re-
duction in the quarterly person
nel budget and said fifty retir
ing employes in his department
will not be replaced immediate
ly to help save on expenses.
Travel will be limited to only
those trips needed for consumer
protection inspections, the com
missioner said.
Lessinger says
education failing
WEMME, Ore., (UPI)-The
Skyrocketing costs of education
may eventually exhaust the
American Taxpayer, says a
former associate U. S. Commis
sioner of Education.
Leon M. Lessinger, now a pro
fessor of education at Georgia
State University, told education
experts at a meeting sponsored
by the Oregon Board of educa
tion experts at a meeting spon
sored by the Oregon Board of
Education Monday that educa
tion “has grown too rapidly and
now is collapsing.”
He said education costs in the
United States increased from
$6.5 billion in 1947 to $68.5 bil
lion in 1969—a rate of 1,000 per
cent. The gross national product
during that same period rose
only 400 per cent.
“The growth curves will cross
in 2084 and if we add to this
other nonproductive partsof our
economy, we see that the ex
haustion of the American tax-
payer may be nearer than we
think.”
Ex-student held
in bombing
ATLANTA (UPI)-A former
student at Southern Technical
Institute in Marietta is free on
SI,OOO bond after his arrest by
file FBI for allegedly setting
off a bomb at the school.
Phillip Quinton Cochran, 18,
of Homer was released on the
personal recognizance bond by
order of U. S. Magistrate J.
Roger Thompson.
A federal grand jury indicted
Cochran last week for “know
ingly making a firearm” in con
nection with the April 13 explo
sion, which damaged the Norton
dormitory and dining room at
the school.
The FBI described the fire
arm as a “galvanized pipe ex
plosive bomb.”
Cochran had been a freshman
at file school last year, the FBI
said.
Schools’ accent
on integration
COLUMBUS,Ga.( UPI)-%.5.
District Judge Robert Elliott,
who says the accent in schools
has switched from education to
integration, is expected to rule
this week a new desegregation
plan submitted by the Muscogee
County School Board.
Elliott told a group of citizens
opposing the new plan at a
hearing Monday that “integra
tion is the primary concern,
with education secondary.”
He said, “The three *r’s’ in
the educational system have
been replaced by the big *r’—
race or racial.”
An appeals court rejected an
earlier plan submitted by the
school board and told it to come
up with a new one in line with
the U. S. Supreme Court’s deci
sion in the Charlotte-Mecklen
burg (N. C.) case.
Elliott said after studying
that case closely, he found the
word “race” mentioned 58
times, white, Negro or black 55
times and segregation or deseg
regation 57 times.
“Echication” appeared once
and “educational” also ap
peared only once, he said.
The judge urged the groiq) to
diow “understanding and coop
eration.”
High winds hit
Columbus, Ga.
COLUMBUS, Ga. (UPI )-Two
Persons escaped injury when
high winds blew off the roof of
a small grocery store where
ftey were working Monday and
left the building a shambles.
The store, owned and operated
by the Georgia Rehabiiiation for
the Blind, was located in a Co
lumbus housing project.
After the roof was lifted off,
the front wall collapsed inward
and sent broken glass flying.
Inspection office
in Athens, Ga.
ATHENS, Ga. (UPI)-A meat
and poultry inspection office of
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture will be established in
Athens. U. S. Rep. Robert Steph
ens said the new office will also
maintain surveillance of the
fritra-state meat inspection pro
gram in Georgia.
Long County
welfare board
ATLANTA(UPI)-The county
commission in Long County
must submit nominations to re
place two members of the local
Board of Family and Children
Services who were let go for
being “anti-welfare.”
State Welfare Director Jim
Parham said he was not reap
pointing W. M. Jones, the local
board’s chairman, and was re
voking a waiver which allowed
J. D. Battle to serve on the
board even though Battle was
employed by another state agen
cy.
Parham described the two as
“terribly anti-welfare people”
and said they had not been sup
portive of welfare staff in Long
County.
“We are hopeful that the new
appointees to the board will be
mare supportive and more rea
sonable in their guidance to the
department there,” the state of
ficial said.
Carter promises
aid to cities
JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. (UPI)
—The era when state govern
ment neglected the needs of
cities has come to an end, Gov.
Jimmy Carter told delegates to
the Georgia Municipal Associa
tion convention here Monday.
Carter also urged the munici
pal officials to take an active
part in formulating urban legis
lation in Congress and said his
plans for reorganizing state
government would be alligned
with a general revenue sharing
program.
Carter said in the past local
government officials have only
watched “casually” as federal
legislation affecting cities was
drawn and passed, then
“screamed to high heaven that
it was inadequate to local
needs.”
He said cities have been dis
criminated against on the state
level as well, but the recently
concluded session of the General
Assembly helped bring down the
“barriers between urban and
rural people.”
Carter said efforts to improve
working relationships between
cities and state government
would continue and added that
he is in favor of more metro
politan growth so long as it
does not detract from the
“quality of life.”
