Barbershop singers
meeting in Atlanta
ATLANTA (UPI) — Thousands of persons dedicated to
harmony are in Atlanta this week to compete for the title
of the top barbershop quartet in the nation.
An estimated 6,000 members of the Society for the
Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet
Singing in America Inc. (SPEBSQSA) are attending their
annual convention at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta.
The outstanding quarter will be named Saturday night
from 45 competing groups from around the nation.
In addition to the quartets competing for the national
championship, 15 choruses, of about 70 members each,
will be involved in contests of their own.
Giraffes bound
for Lion Country
ATI ANTA (UPI) — Earl Tatum should arrive here late
Thursday, having driven, if everything goes right, from
Los Angeles without once going underneath a low bridge
or through a tunnel.
He is bringing a truckload of giraffes, who reach heights
of 19 feet, to the Lion Country Safari park near Atlanta.
Tatum will make the ride at speeds of up to 55 miles an
hour, but he said before departing Tuesday, “We’ll have
to go slower through the cities. Stopping too fast can hurt
their ankles.”
Six zebras are also tagging along.
Tatum figures the trip will take 50 hours of straight
driving, including time for the extra 860 miles he will have
to go to avoid anything too low for his head.
The trip won’t be unnoticed. To transport the long
necked beasts, Tatum uses a normal tractor with a special
animal carrier. Their heads will tower nearly 10 feet
above the top of the truck.

Regrets Suntan
BARNSLEY, England (UPI)
—Housewife Sylvia Sheridan,
36, almost had reason to regret
the holiday suntan she acquired
at the Romanian Black Sea
resort of Constanza.
Suspicious Romanian customs
men compared the bronzed
woman at the airport with the
pale one in her passport
photograph and refused to let
her leave until she produced
proof of her identity.
Frantic rummaging in her
handbag finally hit the jackpot
—her Barnsley Bingo Club
membership card.
“But it was the longest
moment of my life,” she said.
Demos await court word
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Democrats battling for dele
gates to the party’s national
convention, now only five days
away, awaited federal court
decisions today that could have
a crucial effect on the choosing
of their nominee for president.
In dispute and embroiled in
court action were the composi
tion of blocs of 153 delegates
from California and 59 from
Illinois. Courts in Washington,

THROUGH SATURDAY 134 SOUTH HILL ST OPEN ALL DAY WED.
JULY 8, 1972 WWW. v . FRI.'TIL 6:30 P.M.
D.C., and Chicago had been
asked to settle controversies
that grew out of a preconven
tion meeting of the Democratic
Credentials Committee in Wa
shington.
The committee, which ended
an 11-day session Tuesday
night, ruled that frontrunner
Sen. George S. McGovern
should not receive all 271
delegates from California, al
though the South Dakota
senator finished first in the
state’s winner-take-all June 6
primary. It decreed 153 of the
271 seats should be distributed
among other candidates who
ran in the primary.
The committee also ruled
challengers should receive the
seats of 59 Illinois delegates
from the Chicago area allied to
Chicago Mayor Richard J.
Daley.
Both disputes were taken into
federal court. The U.S. Court of
Appeals in Washington, which
spent four hours hearing
arguments in an extraordinary
Fourth of July session, was
expected to announce its
decision today.
At the same time, Daley
forces prepared to ask a circuit
court in Illinois for an
injunction to stop the Illinois
challengers from going to
Miami Beach to take their
seats at the convention opening
July 10.
JeromeTorshen, representing
the Daley group, said the
delegates in question were
elected by close to 1 million
voters and that it was wrong to
use the reform rules to
overturn such an election.
The credentials committee
Tuesday completed action on 82
challenges to 1,829 delegates
from 30 states.
McGovern, whose first ballot
nomination may have been
blocked when he lost the
California delegates, picked up
the endorsement Tuesday of the
American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Em
ployes. Monday, McGovern was
endorsed by Leonard Wood
cock, president of the United
Auto Workers. Both unions
earlier had come out for Sen.
Edmund S. Muskie.
