Gambrell raps Thompson
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) —Sen. David Gambrell said
Wednesday night that Congressman Fletcher Thompson
was deliberately making a martyr of actress Jane Fonda
for his own political ends.
Gambrell made the statement during the sixth in a
series of debates with State Rep. Sam Nunn. The two are
battling for the Democratic senatorial nomination.
Thompson is the Republican nominee.
Thompson recently urged that the Justice Department
consider seeking an indictment against Miss Fonda for
treason as the result of broadcasts she made while in
North Vietnam.
Gambrell said he did not approve of Miss Fonda’s
actions.
“Jane Fonda has been a freak since I first heard of
her,” Gambrell said. But he added he thought Thompson
was “swatting a gnat when we’ve got elephants standing
in the road.”
Election suit filed
DANIELSVILLE, Ga. (UPI)— A suit challenging the
Aug. 8 primary election of all county officials in Madison
County has been filed in superior court.
Joe Porterfield and W. C. Fowler claimed in their suit
that Ralph Mize and H. E. Hemphill, two candidates for
school superintendent, were ineligible to run, that
relatives of candidates were allowed to work at the polls
and that ballot boxes were moved and left unattended.
“The entire election is tainted with malconduct, fraud
and irregularities,” the suit charged.
No hearing date was set immediately on the suit.
Carter backs pay appeal
ATLANTA (UPI) — Gov. Jimmy Carter says he stands
ready to support an appeal of a ruling by the Federal Pay
Board holding a pay raise for Georgia’s teachers to 7.5 per
cent.
The figure approved by the federal agency is about $546
a year per teacher less than the General Assembly
allocated.
“It is obvious to me that the interpretations of the wage
and price controls by the Federal Pay Board have been
consistently designed to favor the privileged and well-to
do and to penalize those most deserving of increased
salaries,” Carter said.
The governor said that if an appeal is unsuccessful,
every attempt will be made to “find away to compensate
Georgia teachers for the loss they have sustained due to
this action.”

Japan’s new boss
is a man of decision
By ROBERT BETTS
Copley News Service
The “computerized bull
dozer” is how the Japanese re
fer to their new prime minister,
Kakuei Tanaka.
He is a tough, hard-working
politician with a gruff, forth
right manner —a self-made
man who climbed out of rural
poverty to make a fortune in
the construction industry.
He rose rapidly in the gov
ernment to become finance
minister, then minister of in
ternational trade and industry.
Now he has emerged from a
four-way power struggle to
succeed Eisaku Sato as presi
dent of the ruling Liberal
Democratic Party, and thus
prime minister.
In electing the relatively
young Tanaka (54) rather than
67-year-old Foreign Minister
Takeo Fukuda, who was Sato’s
choice, the LDP majority broke
the long line of Tokyo's tradi
tional over-60s bureaucracy.
Tanaka, though a Sato
protege, is considered some
thing of a renegade within the
party, less tied to Sato’s
“status quo” conservatism,
more liberal in outlook. Many
believe he is the man needed to
lead the nation out of an inter
national political backwater
that it has occupied for too
long.
Since the end of World War
11, Japan has closely followed
the U.S. lead in international
matters. Having attained the
position of the world’s third
greatest economic power,
Japan now feels it is strong
enough and influential enough
to play a more independent
role. Sato’s foreign policy was
increasingly criticized as being
too subservient to the United
States.
Tanaka, by contrast, is ex
pected to be more decisive in
his dealings with Washington.
He is said to be pro-American,
but first he is
He is popular with U.S. offi
cials in Tokyo who say that, un
like the traditional consensus
politicians who would gain
agreement from all sides be
fore moving, Tanaka expounds
his own philosophy, makes his
own decisions and sticks to
them.
“He’s a man who gives clear-
cut answers and expects clear
cut answers in return,” said
one official.
Tanaka affirmed his belief in
the continuance of strong U.S.-
Japanese ties during his first
press conference as new
leader.
“Japanese-U.S. relations are
like air and water,” he said. “If
we don’t have air and water we
would die. Our foreign policy
must be based on the mainte
nance of strong relations be
tween Japan and the United
States.”
Under his leadership, ex
panded trade, growing compe
tition and some hard bargain
ing can be expected between
the two countries. While he is
committed to a less subservient
role for his country in interna
tional affairs, he may seek,
through trade liberalization
measures, to reduce the some
what antagonistic economic re
lations that have developed be
tween Japan and the United
States.
He also has announced that
his administration would try to
open talks to improve relations
with mainland China.
There was little chance of
Japan reaching any accommo
dation with the Communist
Chinese so long as Sato was
committed to supporting Tai
wan. Since Chinese Premier
Chou En-lai indicated recently
that Japanese investments on
Taiwan would be respected
should the Communists take
over the island, there is less
Japanese enthusiams for sup
porting the Chinese Nationalist
government there.

honorable and lasting peace,
more than Good Evening. He
has experienced the dangers of
war and the sorrows of war as
well.
But he does not believe such
men as Ramsey Clark and
Sargent Shriver are helping
bring this about by their whole
sale charges against the Ameri
can soldier.
9 streets
included
in bidding
Nine city streets on which the
State Highway Department will
receive resurfacing bids
next week were included in the
priority list the city drew up last
November for the Department.
The streets include:
In Evergreen Forest: Oak
dale drive, Lisa circle, Green
view drive and Sherwood drive.
West Poplar street from
Meriwether to 16th street.
South Eighth from Oak street
to Milner avenue.
East College from South Sixth
to its end.
Mockingbird lane.
Hamilton boulevard from
East College to old Macon High
way.
Total number of miles in
volved includes 4.467, according
to Roy Inman, dty manager. He
worked with Highway officials
in drawing up the priority lists.
The bidding on projects
tomorrow will be the first under
the state program.
Other cities and counties in
the state will have projects
included in the bidding also.
Robert Shapard, Griffin busi
nessman, recalled that some of
the paving in the East College
section is as it was when it was
first surfaced in 1922.
Fawn goes
to new park
Mrs. Darryl Crumbley has
donated the fawn she fought
over with the State Game and
Fish Department to a new park
in Cumming, Ga.
State officials had threatened
to take her to court for not
turning over the fawn to them.
They pointed out it is against
the law to keep them.
Mrs. Crumbley was given the
fawn by a neighbor.
She took it to the new park
Sunday.
