cused the Georgia Public Serv
ice Commission (PSC) of de
liberately putting off action on
SIOO million in rate increase re
quests until after the Aug. 8
primary.
“Months ago I predicted the
PSC would not take any posi
tive action on any rate in
creases until after the elec
tions,” said Thomason.
“They’ve us§d every excuse
known to man to avoid this.”
Now pending are requests
from Southern Bell seeking $24.4
million, Georgia Power Co.
seeking $47.9 million and At
lanta Gas Light asking $15.7
million. Additionally, several
old requests from Savannah
Electric and General Telephone
would put the total over SIOO
million.
Thomason is running against
Commissioner Ford Spinks of
Tifton.
Spinks, according to Thoma
son, has accused him of trying
to make the rate increases a
political football.
“He’s right,” said Thomason.
“The football game is real
simple: he’s representing the
utility companies and I’m rep
resenting the people who pay
the bills, and on Aug. 8 the peo
ple are going to win the foot
ball game.”
Marie. Wallace will attend a homecoming rally in
Montgomery, Ala. enroute to Miami Beach, Fla. and the
Democratic National Convention. The cake in front of the
governor reads: Best Wishes to Governor Wallace from the
Sisters and Staff Holly Cross Hospital. (UPI)

a family of five from Georgia
to Texas was believed to have
crashed during a heavy thunder
storm Wednesday.
Mechanical trouble aboard
one of the search boats forced
Vermilion Parish sheriff’s dep
uties to return to shore early
Thursday night after they had
found the body of a young boy
believed to be the son of Librick
O’Brien of Mount Belvieu, Tex.
The bodies of two women
were recovered near the site of
the crash Wednesday. They
were believed to be Mrs.
O’Brien and her daughter.
Authorities said they were
“pretty certain” the bodies
were those of the O’Brien fam
ily because the Cherokee 235
plane was registered in that
name and the family was over
due at Anahuac, Tex.
The wreckage of the plane
was sited by a tugboat crew
which came across a nine-foot
section of the aircraft’s wing
Wednesday morning.
The search for the other two
bodies was to continue today.

Migration raises
state population
ATLANTA (UPI) — A State survey shows Georgia
gained in population because of in-migration during the
last decade, with whites coming while blacks continued to
leave.
The Office of Planning and Budget said 81,000 or slightly
less than 2 per cent of the population came into the state
between 1960-70.
“Ulis indicates that Georgia has become attractive
enough as a place to work and live to compare favorably
with surrounding states and the nation, said planning
officials.
During the 10 years between 1950-60, 9,000 more whites
left Georgia than moved here.
Between 1960-70 it was the black population on the
move, with 125,000 non whites leaving during the period.
The greatest gain in population due to migration was in
the 20-29 age group, with a gain of more than 70,000.
the number of deaths and births during the 10-year period
with the change in population shown in the census. The
residual, or unaccounted for, change is considered due to
migration.
Two men sentenced
in alligator case
SAVANNAH, Ga. (UPI) — Two Atlanta men have
drawn sentences on charges they illegally sold and
shipped alligator hides.
Q. C. Plott, 47, was sentenced to six months in prison
and his son, Christopher, 24, was given a 90 day term by U.
S. District Judge Alexander A. Lawrence. Both were
placed on five years probation.
The pair changed their pleas from innocent to guilty.
They could have been sentenced to a maximum of more
than 60 years in prison and over $600,-000 in fines on the 67
counts against them in Savannah, Atlanta and New York
City.
Lawrence, who fixed the start of Plott’s sentence as
Sept. 1 and his son’s as March 15,1973, said the evidence
indicated the Plotts had a “business operating an illegal
poaching ring.”
Man, wife, son
killed in crash
VIDALIA, Ga. (UPI) —Authorities have identified the
victims of a plane crash Thursday as Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
Manno and their son of Uniontown, Ohio.
Their Cessna 182 cracked up and burned shortly after
takeoff, killing all three in the second fatal plane crash
here in less than a week.
The family spent the night in Vidalia after a short flight
from St. Petersburg, Fla. Their flight plan called for a
stop at Greensboro, N. C., and a final flight to their Ohio
home.
A witness said the craft apparently suffered mechanical
trouble of some kind.
Macon plans clinic
for sick firemen
MACON, Ga. (UPI) — Macon Mayor Ronnie Thompson
vowed to set up a clinic for the city’s firemen Thursday
who have been calling in sick to protest a wage increase
given policemen.
As the Thursday shift began 21 firemen reported sick
and Thompson said he would set up a clinic in the Macon
Coliseum and send ambulances for those reporting they
were too ill to work.
Thompson said the clnic would help head off an “epi
demic” before it reaches the rest of the 200 man fire
department.
The mayor fired 14 firemen after they ignored his work
or else ultimatum Wednesday.
The firemen are calling in sick because the Macon
Mayor and council gave policemen a raise that put the law
officers a pay grade above the firemen.

Ft. Valley State
federal suit filed
MACON, Ga. (UPI) — A second federal court suit has
been filed seeking more complete integration of Ft. Valley
State College.
Named as defendants are the Board of Regents and
school president W. E. Blanchet. The suit was filed on
behalf of white taxpayers, parents, students and some
members of the faculty.
The latest suit asks federal Judge Wilbur Owens to
consider the exchange of faculty members and
administrators between Ft. Valley State and three
predominantly white schools in the area — Macon Junior
College, Georgia Southwest and Middle Georgia.
An earlier suit, currently taken under advisement by
Owens, charged that registration of large numbers of
blacks diluted the white vote in Ft. Valley.
Vandiver calls
Gambrell ultra-liberal
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI)— Former Gov. Ernest Vandiver
continued his attack on incumbent Sen. David Gambrell
Thursday, claiming Gambrell is an “ultra-liberal.”
In a news conference, Vandiver said Gambrell has
voted opposite to Sen. Herman Talmadge on a number of
occasions, proving he is a liberal.
“Now my reading of the record has gone only through
February 20, but I do know that since then the appointed
senator has voted against the only meaningul antibusing
legislation to pass Congress this year,” said Vandiver of
Gambrell. “This is only part of the record, but I think it
clearly establishes the ultra-liberal voting patterns the
appointed senator has slavishly followed in Washington.”
Schools may get
surplus funds
ATLANTA (UPI) — State Revenue Commissioner John
Blackmon said Thursday surpluses in revenue may be a
way for the state to assume the total cost of education.
Blackmon said the surplus the state takes in could
amount to S4O million this year. He said with the normal
expansion of revenue, the state might have the money to
totally fund education in the state without relying on local
property taxes.
Currently property tax revenue for education is about
S7B million.
