Fiat executive
found slain
BUENOS AIRES (UPI)-
rwenty-one days after he was
udnaped, Fiat executive Ober
lan Sallustro was found on a
dood-soaked double bed in a
white chalet in a redeveloped
Juenos Aires slum neighbor-
K)od. One bullet had entered
his brain, two others his chest.
The 56-year-old Uruguayan
born Italian national, the
general manager for the Fiat
auto complex in Argentina, was
shot to death Monday as police
battled their way into the
hideout of his kidnapers,
members of the left-wing
People’s Revolutionary Army
(ERP).
Three of the leftist guerrillas
vaulted a rear garden wall and
escaped, including two of them
who afterwards commandeered
a sports car from a motorist at
gunpoint several blocks away.
A fourth, a woman, was
captured as she tried to scale a
side wall. Neighbors said police
dragged her by the hair to a
patrol car.
The ERP had demanded |1
million worth of school supplies
from Fiat to be distributed
among poor children. Fiat
accepted the ransom demand in
principle, but Argentina’s mili

Georgia Demo
procedures face
new challenge
ATLANTA (UPI)-The Geor
gia Democratic Party’s dele
gate selection procedures were
challenged again Monday, wid
ening the possibility the state
may be excluded from the
Dem ocraticNational Convention
this summer.
The Georgia Democratic For
um, which successfully chal
lenged then - Gov. Lester Mad
dox and the Georgia delegation
to the 1968 Democratic National
Convention in Chicago, filed a
formal challenge contesting nine
points of the “election process.”
This year for the first time,
Georgia Democrats elected
their delegate slate rather than
having them appointed by the
governor.
Some 40 delegates and 30 al
ternates were chosen in congres
sional district elections March
11 and another 13 delegates and
seven alternates were elected in
a statewide convention April 7.
Among the 53 delegates, 17
are women, 16 are black and
11 are under 30 years of age.
State Party Executive Secre
tary Zell Miller said the new
challenge will be heard at the
same time as an American Civ
il Liberties Union challenge to
two congressional district elec
tions.
The election process has al
ready been challenged in a fed
eral court suit by civil rights
leader Hosea Williams who con
tend the elections without prior
Justice Department approval,
violated the 1965 Voting Rights
Act.
The suit was thrown out, but

Kirbo said last week if the dele
gation were thrown out the
state probably would not have
time to select a new one.

als” and warned Fiat execu
tives they would be prosecuted
for “illicit association” unless
they broke off ransom negotia
tions. The 15,000-worker compa
ny, Argentina’s largest auto
maker, complied.
In Rosario, 187 miles north
east of the capital, terrorists
Monday ambushed the chauf
feur-driven car of Gen. Juan
Carlos Sanchez, the commander
of n Corps and a fierce anti-
Communist fighter, killing
Sanchez and critically wounding
his driver, Celestino Vameche,
police said.
They said a pickup truck
swerved in front of Sanchez’
car. Varneche wheeled onto the
sidewalk and around the truck
as terrorists in the pickup fired
with a submachine gun. A
rifleman popped through the
sun roof of another car parked
down the street and fired two
shots into the windshield of
Sanchez’ car. The car crashed.
The machine gunner from the
pickup ran to the general’s car
and fired through the rear
window. He and the truck’s
driver escaped in the car with
the sun roof, police said.

program.
He said he would not know
what the system could expect
from the application until after
the April 20 state board of
education meeting.
Mr. Christie said he would
have to hold the system’s plans
for developing the program
until then.
If funded, the program would
be housed in the Annie Shockley
school building. It would include
a kindergarten program for
five-year-old children who
qualify under the Social Secur
ity Act. A program to help
children, up to the age of five,
with physical and mental handi
caps and provide some
psychological and medical aid
for them and their parents,
would be included.
Mr. Ctristie noted today that
the system already has a pro
gram for some pre-schoolers
sponsored by some Griffin
churches.
The churches finance teacher
salaries and other needs and the
school system houses them in
elementary buildings. Mr.
Christie said he would have to
wait and see what the state
board allows the Griffin-Spald
ing System before knowing how
the church sponsored classes
might be affected.
Some churches already are
making plans to sponsor the
classes again next year. Mr.
Christie indicated he could not
make final decisions on these
until he hears from the state
board.
Miss Nelle Tanner,
curriculum director for the
Griffin-Spalding System,

Education Program application
for the local school board at its
monthly meeting last night.

Tremors
continue
in Iran
TEHRAN (UPI)-A thousand
minor tremors rattled through
southern Iran today, causing
landslides in an area already
devastated by a major earth
quake Monday, a spokesman
for the Geophysics Department
of Tehran University said.
Landslides blocked most
roads in southern Fars Pro
vince and telegraph communi
cations with towns in the area
were severed, a government
spokesman said.
Unofficial estimates put the
death toll for Monday’s quake
at between 2,000 and 4,000. A
Tehran newspaper said about
4,000 bodies had been recovered
from the rubble of houses and
said the final death toll would
reach 9,000.
Government officials denied
the report and the official
Iranian news agency Pars said
“unconfirmed reports put total
causalties between 2,000 and
4,000 but it is still impossible to
give definite figures.”
Crazy Joe’s
death is
‘avenged’
NEW YORK (UPl)—Police
responding to a call that a
gangland slaying had been
carried out in revenge for the
assassination of Joseph “Crazy
Joe” Gallo Monday night found
the battered body of a middle
age man in the trunk of a car,
his eyes shot out.
The victim was identified by
police as Richard R. Grossman,
36, of New York. Police said
Grossman had been arrested
previously for disorderly con
duct, rape, burglary, criminal
possession of stolen property
and grand larceny.
He was the third man whose
body was found in New York in
a 20-hour period following the
fatal shooting of Gallo in a
crowded restaurant in Manhat
tan’s “Little Italy’ section
Friday.
Police said Monday morning’s
two victims had gangland
connections and the method
used in killing Grossman led
them to believe this too was a
gangland murder.
He was the 16th man with
underworld connections killed
since the critical wounding of
Joseph Colombo Sr., a rival of
Gallo’s, at an Italian-American
parade June 28.
Gallo with his brothers waged
a bloody war for control of the
Brooklyn underworld in the
1960 s during which 14 people
were killed.

400 Gls airlifted

SAIGON (UPI)—U.S. trans

artillery pieces to the northern
most American outpost in South
Vietnam today to bolster its
defenses against the 12-day-old
Communist offensive.
The movement, the largest
shifting of U.S. troops since the
North Vietnamese invaded
South Vietnam April 1, involved
men of the 196th Light Infantry
Brigade and four 105 mm
howitzers. They were taken by
Cl3O transports from Da Nang
to the America base at Phu
Bai, which is only 42 miles
south of the Demilitarized Zone
(DMZ) separating the two
Vietnams.
About 2,000 Americans alrea

Glad Maddox won’t run
Sen. Gambrell breathes
a heavy sigh of relief
By United Press International
Sen. David H. Gambrell, D-
Ga., breathed a heavy sign of
relief Monday with an an
nouncement by Lt. Gov. Lester
Maddox that he won’t try to
take the junior senator’s job
away from him.
Maddox said, however, that
he is not going to be out of
the political limelight, and
“probably would be a candidate
for governor in two years.”
While bowing out of the
crowded field of six Democrats
seeking Gambrell’s post in the

Maddox said although a news

to run either for the Senate or
for governor, almost half of the
people wanted him to seek the
governor’s post he held from
1967 to 1971.
Gambrell said he looked at
Maddox’s decision as one that
“indicates that he and people
interested in him have undoubt

whether Georgia is being well
represented in the Senate at
