Busing, economy,
taxes tops: Vandiver
ATLANTA (UPI) — Former Gov. Ernest Vandiver,
busing around Georgia in search of votes in his campaign
for the Democratic nomination for the Senate, says
“busing, the state of the economy and high taxes are the
issues on most people’s minds.”
Vandiver said Thursday that he has completed one third
of his red, white and blue camper bus tour and estimated
that he has shaken 30,000 hands. His wife Betty is
traveling with him on the tour that began March 7.
“I’ve lost 15 pounds and I’m in great shape,” Vandiver
said. He added that he developed a blister the first week of
the tour.
Vandiver said he had visited 101 towns in almost half of
the state’s 159 counties and rolled up 2,000 miles on the
bus.

Gov. Carter treated
almost like president
ATLANTA (UPI)—Gov. Jimmy Carter, on tour south of
the border, reported Thursday from Brazil. He said he
was almost treated like a visiting president.
Carter leaves today for Buemos Aires on another leg of
the tour of Latin and South America he is making in
efforts to drum up trade with Georgia.
The governor told newsmen by telephone that he had
met with the president of Brazil and Brazilian legislative
leaders and found he had an unexpected element in his
favor.
“Some think I resemble (the late) President Kennedy,”
Carter said. “The people here almost worship him. He is
still looked upon as the greatest friend Latin America ever
had.”
He described Brasilia as a “tremendous city, an
unbelievable place.”
All was not happy travelling for the Carter entourage,
however.
Jody Powell, Carter’s press secretary, disclosed that
nearly all of the 11 member party, except Carter, had
come down with diarrhea. However, he said they were
now recuperating.
Third man faces
trial at Cumming
CUMMING, Ga. (UPI)— A jury was selected here
Thursday for James Lingerfelt, the third man to go on
trial at Cumming for the murders of two Forsyth County
deputies last January.
Testimony in the case was expected to get underway
today before Superior Court Judge Marion Pope.
Earlier this week, former Buford policeman Charles
Bennett, 28, was convicted and sentenced to death for the
murders of deputies Bill Cantrell and Larry Hulkey.
Marcus Wayne Ratledge, 25, of East Point, the first man
to be tried, was given a life sentence.
A fourth defendant, Herbert Dean Smith of Cumming, is
scheduled to be tried next week.
The two deputies were shot to death and their bodies
locked in the trunk of their patrol car on U.S. 19 near
Cumming. The state charges that they were killed by the
defendants to protect a burglary ring they were operating.
Catholic Bishops
rap control report
ATLANTA (UPI) — Roman Catholic bishops have
endorsed a resolution attacking a presidential
commission report on population control.
Cardinal Terace Cooke of New York said the report by
the Commission on Population Growth and the American
Future disseminated a “dangerous and immoral
principal” in that it favors abortion on demand.
Cooke said the church’s position is that “abortion,
directly willed and procured, even if for therapeutic
reasons, is to be absolutely excluded as a means of
regulating births.
“We are opposed to government policies devoted to
population control, especially those which put pressures
on parents to control the size of the family,” he said.
The bishops, winding up a three day spring conference,
rejected a move to include the IndoChina war in the abor
tion condemnation.
Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit sought to put his
fellow bishops on record against the renewed American
bombing in Southeast Asia.
“If we believe our own statements and expect others to
believe us,” he said, “we must begin to act as though
ending the war is really a moral imperative and that it
rates priority over almost anything else.”
But Coole said while war, racism and violence were ab
horred by the church, they should both be included in the
resolution. He said these subjects would be included in a
week of study prayer and education to be held in various
parishes across the nation in October.

Vietnam veteran
drowns in river
CLAYTON, Ga. (UPI) — A 25-year-old Marine Corps
veteran of Vietnam, Alfred Hochlan of Indianola, lowa.,
drowned Thursday while canoeing in the swift-flowing
Chattanooga River in north Georgia.
Hochlan, and a friend, Nelson Long, 24, of Tucker, had
started their trip Monday, authorities said, and had been
moving at a leisurely pace down the river, which was
swollen by heavy rains and was running close to flood
stage.
Authorities said the canoe, loaded with camping gear,
continued to take water, and finally sank on a shoal.
Long continued to be dragged downstream by the
current, and found Hochlan floating in the river when he
made his way back up the river bank, the authorities said.
