of money, not fuel, may force
the State Transportation
Department to curtail scheduled
road construction.
Transportation Commissioner
Downing Musgrove said Thurs
day his department has already
spent all its allotted federal
money on June contract let
tings.
Musgrove said the contracts
for June and July amounted to
more than S2OO million, and
some of the July contracts were
let contingent on obtaining
more federal highway funds
from Congress or the U.S. Sup
reme Court.
“We figured the (U.S.) Senate
and House committees would
have reached agreement on a
new transportation bill by July
1,” he explained. “That would
have been in time for the con
tracts let for July.
“But the committees appear
hopelessly deadlocked over
mass transit so we’ll have to
wait for them to resolve that
and pass a bill.”
Musgrove said another pos
sible source of funds for the
highway program might come
when the Supreme Court rules
on state funds impounded by
President Nixon.
“If we could get those im-
presented pins were Jewel Bozeman for 30 years and Walter Festerman for
30 years.
pounded funds, it would be like
a windfall,” he said. “If we
could get that new highway bill
from Congress and the im
pounded money too, why then
we’d be pretty happy. We have
plenty of work if it could be
financed.”
Musgrove said the fuel short
age had not affected road work
yet, but he said “if things don’t
get any better, then I’m sure
the shortage will hit us and
delay work.”
Musgrove is a member of the
five-man Petroleum Board cre
ated by Gov. Jimmy Carter to
study and oversee the state’s
fuel supply and consumption.
“The board had its first
meeting Monday,” he explain
ed. “It was an organizational
meeting where we discussed
how best to pool fuel supplies
that are available and study the
general needs in case a fuel
shortage develops.”
D.A. tired
of filth
SAVANNAH (UPI) - “I am
tired of filth in the community,”
said Chatham County District
Attorney Andrew J. Ryan Jr.
Thursday after the grand jury
returned an indictment against
a store owner for selling alleg
edly obscene material.
The indictment was returned
by a special presentment
against Harvey H. Woo, a local
store owner for “selling and
exhibiting certain obscene mat
erial.” It is the county’s first
test of the recent U.S. Supreme
Court ruling on pornography.

County line
districts
possible
ATLANTA (UPI) — Former
executive assistant Atty. Gen.
Harold Hill told the House Re
apportionment Committee
Thursday it may be able to
“return to following county
lines in some instances” when
drawing up a new reapportion
ment plan.
Hill, in a letter to House
speaker George L. Smith, said
the county boundaries might be
honored “where a district con
tains all but a small portion of
a county, such small portion
may be returned to the district
in which the majority of the
people in that county reside...”
Hill said the reversion to use
of county lines came about
from U.S. Supreme Court deci
sions on redistricting in Texas
and Connecticut.
A federal court has ordered
Georgia to devise a new reap
portionment plan by the 1974
legislative session. The present
plan calls for county lines to
be crossed 47 times, and much
of the plan’s opposition has
come from those divided coun
ties.
The House Reapportionment
Committee Wednesday decided
to consider as its first priority
15 districts the federal court
objected to, and then 17 precar
ious multimember districts.
The court has warned that
multimember districts may di
lute a minority’s voice, and
Georgia has 32 multimember
districts.
Hill also told the Committee
Georgia may be able to retain
some of the multimember dis
tricts and permit more popula
‘ion deviation between districts.
Gambrell
hacks
at Carter
ATLANTA (UPI) - Former
U. S. Sen. David Gambrell took
on Gov. Jimmy Carter and his
par tymatesThursday, attacking
the state’s Democratic party as
the “worst example of personal
ity cults, instability and hip
pocket politics” in the nation.
“There is no Democratic
party in Georgia,” said Gam
brell, appointed in 1971 to fill
the unexpired term of the late
Sen. Richard B. Russell.
“It is a piece of paper, now
lost in somebody’s files, which
took the place of another piece
of paper used by (Former Gov.
Lester) Maddox and (former
state party chairman James)
Gray.
Gambrell said Carter was
wrong when he said the party’s
strength consisted of its lack of
organization.
“That’s like saying the Am
erican government would be
stronger if we had no Constitu
tion or saying the Constitution
could be rewritten by every
president that was ever elect
ed,” the former Democratic
senator said.
Gambrell, a speech to the Ful
ton County Democratic party
called on the Democrats to
model their party after the state
GOP.
He said the recent state Re
publican convention elected its
slate chairman, vice chairman
and adopted a platform advocat
ing electoral reforms, racial
equality and consumer protec
tion.
“To my knowledge,” he said,
“the Democratic party of Geor
gia has never held any such
convention, and never adopted
any such platform.”

Carter denies poll
ATLANTA (UPI) — A spokesman for Gov. Jimmy
Carter Thursday denied reports by Lt. Gov. Lester
Maddox that Carter was conducting a poll of state
employes to “improve his image.”
Maddox said someone who was contacted told him of the
poll.
“I feel hurt — they haven’t called me,” Maddox said.
But Carter aides denied any knowledge of the survey.
“We have not taken any poll of any kind,” he said.
Russell statue planned
ATLANTA (UPI) — A commemorative statue of the
late Sen. Richard B. Russell will be created by a
University of Georgia professor for display on the state
Capitol grounds.
William Thompson, an Art Department professor at the
Athens school, was chosen for the task by the Richard
Brevard Russell Monument Commission, according to an
announcement by Gov. Jimmy Carter.
Thompson, a native of Denver, Colo., was selected
over six other sculptors who each submitted scale models
of their planned sculpture.
Thompson was formerly an assistant instructor at Ohio
State University. He was commissioned to create a
commemorative sculpture of the late President John
Kennedy at Dayton, Ohio. 3
Disaster checks delivered
ATLANTA (UPI) — Gov. Jimmy Carter Thursday pre
sented two checks totalling $183,000 to Catoosa and Whit
field counties as advances of federal disaster relief for
damage from March storms.
Catoosa County Commission chairman James
Moreland accepted a check for $90,396 while Bud Griffin,
chairman of the Whitfield Board of County Com
missioners, received $92,991.
Carter said the money was 50 per cent of approved
disaster relief for work on debris clearance and road and
utility repair.
The governor said the funds were the second and third
advances of federal disaster relief and more money would
be coming at a later date.
