They want litterbugs
put in public stocks
MILLBORO, Va. (UPI) -
Fearing their scenic little
community was fast becoming
an oversize garbage pit, the
Ruritan Club of Bath County
looked to the 17th Century for a
solution.
The 30 members of the club
have unanimously endorsed a
resolution asking that the

Brando visits
ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPI) -
Marlon Brando visited the trial
of Dennis Banks and Russell
Means Friday.
Brando rejected an Academy
Award last year while the
American Indian Movement,
led by Banks and Means,
occupied Wounded Knee.
“I came to give my support
to Dennis and Russell and to
give my hope that they will get
a fair trial,” Brando said.
“Those on trial here really are
the American people. I should
say the American conscience.”
this year it seems the problem
is as bad if not worse than ever
before.
“A few members suggested
that maybe the stocks might be
considered cruel and unusual
punishment. But maybe that’s
just what’s” needed to make
people stop and realize what
they’re doing.”

HOUSTON (UPI) — Arguments were ended Friday on a

Merger ruled out
GENEVA (UPI) — Following a meeting here Friday

as recycling, increased policing
and stiffer fines for the tongue
in-cheek suggestion of reviving
the use of stocks—wooden
contraptions that bind a per
son’s hands, ankles and neck
into a slightly bent posture of
humility and contrition.
“This is a rural county with
sparse population,” Walters
said. “We’ve got mountains and
streams and parks and some of
it has been designated as scenic
areas.
“But it’s both the tourists and
the locals who are causing all
this litter trouble,” he said. “To
be honest most of it comes
from the people who live here.
“One weekend we went out
and picked up 24 bushels of
trash from just a 1.3 mile
stretch of road. Picking up cans
is a good experience spiritually
but it doesn’t give you a very
good picture of your fellow
man.”
Both Walters and Ruritan
president Ashby Rusmisel con
cede their idea is “rather
outlandish,” but say serious
consideration should be given to
the stocks if they are judged
legal punishment.
“We sent our resolution for
the stocks to the county board
of supervisors, the common
wealth’s attorney and two state
legislators,” Walters said. “The
decision is up to them.”
Nunn says
energy crisis
may be key
TIFTON, Ga. (UPI)- Sen.
Sam Nunn, D-Ga. said today
that the energy crisis may open
“the doors to the greatest op
portunities American
agriculture has ever ex
perienced.
Nunn said in a speech pre
pared for the Georgia Young
Farmers Association said the
nation’s best hope for dealing
with inflated fuel prices was in
agriculture production.
“The same energy shortage
which is contributing to our cur
rent problems may be the way
which opens the doors to the
greatestopportunitiesthe Amer
ican agriculture has ever exper
ienced,” Nunn said.
He said during the energy
crisis, there are “great oppor
tunities and great challenges
for young farmers.”
Nunn said that as a result of
the energy situation, America
will receive an unprecedented
Arab demand for investment
opportunities during a world
monetary flow to the Persian
Gulf nations.
Peanut growers
get lease okay
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
agriculture department made a
partial retreat from a previous
ly announced crackdown on
peanut support policy for 1974.
Under pressure from law
makers and farmers from pea
nut states, the department an
nounced Friday that it will per
mit peanut growers to lease or
sell acreage allotments this
year. Last October, as part of
a general crackdown on peanut
price support rules, the agricul
ture department had prohibited
lease or sale of allotments in
1974.
Congressional sources attrib
uted the move partly to reports
that the agriculture department
and peanut growers seemed to
be making progress toward a
Brinkley
will push
time switch
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Rep.
Jack Brinkley, D-Ga., a long
time Nixon supporter, has vow
ed to be suspicious of any
administration proposals after
making the mistake of voting
for nationwide Daylight Saving
Time (DST).
Brinkley said he has introduc
ed a proposal to switch Georgia
back to Central Standard Time
to ease problems created by
the change to DST Jan. 6.
He said he has become in
creasingly aware of hardships
caused by the time change, and
he has seen no proof that ener
gy is being saved as a result of
the move.
The only Georgia congress
man to vote in favor of nation
wide DST, Brinkley said he
knew the proposal was unpop
ular among Georgians, but he
felt it important to rally behind
Nixon and pass the administra
tion’s emergency proposals to
avert an energy crisis.
“If I made a mistake in
voting for Daylight Saving
Time, my mistake was in trust
ing the President,” he said.
He vowed to reevaluate his
position regarding support of
the President and said in the
future he will need “hard facts,
not speculation” before he sup
ports another administration
proposal.
Brinkley said if his bill to
return the state to its former
time zone fails to win House
approval, he will support
another bill sponsored by four
Georgians.

possible compromise
agreement on peanut legislation
which would relax production
control and reduce government
cost beginning in 1975.
The sources said, however,
that the administration move
may also have been influenced
by a desire to smooth away
Senate opposition to the possible
nomination of Kenneth E. Frick
as assistant secretary of agri
culture.
Frick is currently head of the
department’s Agriculture Sta
bilization and Conservation Ser
vice and has played a major
role in the peanut controversy.
Officials also modified an Oc
tober regulation under which
1974-crop peanuts acquired by
the government in its support
program could not be resold for
export at less than 150 per cent
of the support price. Under the
modified version the govern
ment will resell its peanuts for
100 per cent of the support
price.
Spokesman for Sen. Her
man Talmadge, D-Ga., one of
the leading critics of the admin
istration peanut policy, said the
moves were welcome but not
“as much as we would like.”
Georgia Farm Bureau Presi
dent H. Emmett Reynolds said
the administration’s latest
move frees peanut farmers
from “some of the worst of the
harrassing regulations” that the
October policy changes had set
up.
Reynolds, who is also chair
man of the National Peanut
Growers Group, said the action
clears the way for resumption
of “good faith negotiations” be
tween growers, the peanut in
dustry and the agriculture de
partment.
