H. B. Davis, J. W. Landrum and
incumbent R. L. (Skeeter)

in both ward races, regardless
of the ward in which a voter
lives. Voters living in the

from a three to a five member
commission.
The campaign has been
rather low key, compared to
some previous city elections.
But due to the number of
candidates, a runoff election is
likely.
Runoff elections usually are
held two weeks from the date of
the first vote. In that event, the
runoff would be Nov. 20.
One change has been made in
polling places. Voters
previously voting at the
Masonic lodge on East Solomon
street have been moved to
Spalding Junior High I.

problem facing area industry,

More and more, Griffin and
' surrounding area industrialists
are turning to greater com

people to “keep the plant
running” when a malfunction
occurs.
Often the breakdown of one
piece of equipment can cripple
a plant’s operation for days
while production lines await the
repair of a single machine.
After talking with
businessmen and manufactur

offer its resources of establish a
center for training workers in

Courses in maintenance

special program.
Each 10-unit course would
take approximately 40 weeks to
complete.
Trainees would attend one
night a week for four hours of
instruction and hands-on
training.
The lessons would be
primarily self-study and include
no homework.
Each student would be
allowed to progress at his own

There will be no costs to the

with his aides at his vacation retreat today to talk about
what step to take next to deal with the rising call for his
resignation.
His assistants said the President was determined to go
on with his work and confident that he would be vindicated
once all the facts are known. Nixon was elected by an
overwhelming majority one year ago this week.
Among those calling for the President to step down were
Sens. EdwardW. Brooke, R-Mass., and Henry M. Jackson,
D-Wash.; The New York Times, The Detroit News, the
Denver Post and Time Magazine in editorials; and many
of those persons interviewed by the Gallup poll. Only 27
per cent of the interviewees said they thought the
President was doing his job, compared to 68 per cent less
than a year ago.
Cannon against delay
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen. Howard Cannon, D-Nev.,
chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, which is
studying the nomination of Rep. Gerald R. Ford to be vice
president, said he has been getting many letters urging
that approval of Ford be held off until after it is known
whether the President will step down.
Cannon said he is against any such delay.
Sirica to meet with lawyers
WASHINGTON (UPI) — U.S. District Judge John J.
Sirica was to meet privately with President Nixon’s
lawyers to talk about the nine tapes the President said he
would hand over to the court. The White House now says
tapes of two conversations that may be crucial to the
Watergate investigation are missing. Press Secretary
Ronald Ziegler said the President has a “good story” to
tell about the missing tapes.
Kissinger leaves for Far East
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger leaves today on a trip to the Near and Far East.
The trip, expected to last at least 11 days, will take him to
Cairo and other Mideast nations and then to China and
Japan. Sunday, he met separately with Israeli Prime
Minister Golda Meir and Ismail Fahmi, the Egyptian
Foreign Minister. Mrs. Meir left Sunday without discusing
the talks with the press.
In the Mideast, Israel accused Egypt of mobilizing
combat troops on the West Bank of the Suez Canal for
another try at war. Egypt called the situation explosive
and said Israel was planning a large-scale military
operation.
Ash talks with aides
