Medical Association calls
compromise numbers game
By RANDALL H. HARBER
ATLANTA (UPI)—A spokes
man for the Medical Associa
tion of Georgia (MAG) said to
day Gov. Jimmy Carter’s com
promise proposals for the De
partment of Human Resources
amount to nothing more than
a “numbers game.”
The spokesman, James M.
Moffett, said, “Gov. Carter’s
compromise takes the form of
a compromise but not the sub
stance of a compromise” and
said the MAG will be fighting
its passage.
The House killed the heart
of the proposed new depart
ment when they vetoed its gov
erning board. The representa
tives also let stand the State
Health Board which would have
been abolished.
Carter said Tuesday it was
obvious to him that the legisla
ture wanted a larger board to
govern the proposed Depart-
Vandiver to push
freedom of choice
ATLANTA (UPI) — Former
Gov. Ernest Vandiver, who has
announced that he will prob
ably announce as a candidate
for the U.S. Senate seat held
by David Gambrell, said
Wednesday he would push for
freedom of choice in schools if
he is elected.
Moreover, Vandiver told stu
dents and faculty at Georgia
State University, there is a na
tional conspiracy to kill police
officers and such slayings ought
to be made a federal crime so
the FBI could be called in.
The former governor, one
time youngest mayor of La
vonia, former lieutenant gov
ernor and twice the adjutant
general of Georgia, said he had
the “experience, integrity and
honesty to serve in the U. S.
Senate in the great tradition of

ment of Human Resources, and
wanted the Department of Cor
rections along with pardons
and paroles as a separate de
partment.
He said then he would pro
pose a new Human Resources
Board consisting of 15 men with
a minimum of three doctors
and two more representatives
of the health field.
“Percentage wise he has of
fered us nothing,” said Moffett,
“They believe if they give us
enough seats they can buy our
support.”
The MAG, he said, is still
concerned that the department
is too large, even with the cor
rections, paroles and pardons
removed.
“What the governor has tried
to do,” Moffett said, “is try to
put everything that touches hu
man beings in one department.
What he’s come up with is an
unmanagable mess that’s eco-
the late Sen. Richard Russell.”
On the school issue, Vandiver
said he was the first governor
to propose freedom of choice
and have it enacted.
“This kept the doors open in
1961 when there was a monu
mental effort to close them in
the fashion of some systems in
other states," Vandiver said.
“I intend to work for national
freedom of choice legislation to
prevent busing, he said,
“since the very fabric of our
society is woven around the
schools and churches of each
community.”
Vandiver proposed federal
supplements to police salaries
so that officers won’t have “to
direct traffic in front of liquor
stores or shopping centers to
supplement their salaries.”
On other subjects, Vandiver
nomically deceptive.”
Additionally Wednesday, Dr.
Earl McGhee, a member of the
State Board of Health, said the
board is unwilling to compro
mise on the Department of Hu
man Resources.
Carter has been locked in
controversy with the board
since he unveiled the structure
of his proposed department.
The Senate, which completed
action on the reorganization
plan Wednesday afternoon, de
clined to do anything further to
the controversial department.
The Senators killed some 10
to 12 objectionable parts of the
reorganization package and be
gan reconsideration of several
sections today.
The Senate dispatched the re
mainder of the reorganization
plan with uncommon haste
Wednesday afternoon after
dealing a death blow to a pro
posal moving the Georgia For-
said Congress needs to work
with the President to reverse
the nation’s trade deficit and
foreign aid should be given
“only to strengthen our own de
fense posture, for purely hu
manitarian purposes or to aid
some nation in time of dis
aster.”
He said he was in favor of
a voluntary army but “I don’t
think we can destroy the fine
reserve forces we have built,
for they, too, are necessary for
our national security.”
Marriage dissolved

the grounds it had “irretrieva

said he would marry again as
soon as possible.
estry Commission under the
proposed Department of Nat
ural Resources.
Senate President Pro Tern
Hugh Gillis of Soperton led the
fight to veto inclusion of the
Forestry Commission, the For
est Research Council and the
Soil and Conservation Commit
tee in the Natural Resources
Department and was successful
on all three motions. However,
all the votes were close with
the Forestry Commission veto
passing 30 to 25.
Shortly after the section was
vetoed, Carter wrote a letter
to the Senators asking recon
sideration.
If the vetoes are allowed to
stand, said Carter, “forestry
will have no representation on
the Board of Natural Resources
and no voice in environmental
matters, or overall research or
planning functions relating to
the outdoors if separated.”
Mariner photo shows
bed of river on Mars
PASADENA, Calif. (UPI)-A
Mariner photo made public
Wednesday may show the bed
of an ancient river system that
carved canyons millions of
years ago in the soil of Mars,
now a dusty desert planet,
according to an American
geologist.
Mariner scientists have also
come to “a pretty general
concensus that there were
volcanos on Mars in the past,”
a spokesman said.
“We are getting a heck of a
lot of data that nobody
expected,” he said. “A lot of
things like this (the volcanic
presence and the river possibili
ty) are now being studied.”
The Jet Propulsion Laborato
ry, control center for the
American Mariner satellite
orbiting Mars, Wednesday re
leased a photo taken Jan. 12 of
an area about 300 miles south
of the Martian equator.
A JPL spokesman described
it as “just spectacular,”
diowing “a vast chasm with
branching canyons ... a resem
blance to a tree with many
branches, or you might say a
terrestial stream system, which
is probably superficial.”
A Mariner spokesman said
later, however, that “Hal
Mazursky now leaves the door
open to the possibility the
canyons were formed by water
erosion millions of years ago.”
Mazurky, head of the televi
sion camera team, is a
geologist with the U.S. Geologi
cal Survey.
“If I were seeing it on earth I
would name water as its
cause,” Mazursky said.

Gillis had argued that for
estry is one of Georgia’s major
industries and should remain
separate, but Carter said if for
estry and the two other agen
cies are included in Natural Re
sources the departments gov
erning board would consist of
15 members including at least
three members from the forest
industry.
Carter also guaranteed that
forestry would be “a permanent
division” in the department.
State Forester Ray Shirley is
on record as favoring the in
clusion of his agency in the
department.
Further compromising with
the governor, Senators decided
to withdraw reconsideration of
Tuesday’s veto of the consoli
date printing proposal and a
recommended veto of putting
data processing in the adminis
trative services department.
The speculation that rivers
once flowed on Mars “is highly
tentative,” the spokesman said,
and was indulged in only by
Mazursky, but “just the possibi
lity is a definite surprise.”
Although there is detectable
water vapor in the atmosphere,
and a carbon dioxide frost
forms on the polar caps,
modern scientific research has
failed so far to find any
indications there ever were
sizable bodies of water on the
Martian surface, which now
appears arid and deep in
windblown dust.

Bruder pumped two shots into
the helicopter, wounding Amato
in the cheek and leg and
earning himself a six-month jail
sentence.
Testifying in court Wednes-

once been good friends but had
quarreled over a wall between
their two homes and flying

buzzing the houses.
