better than any other can
didate,” he said.
While some candidates may
feel the office of lieutenant
governor should be abolished,
Laite not only feels that it
should remain, but the duties
should be expanded.
“I have strong feelings about
the office of lieutenant
governor. I oppose the idea of
abolishing it.
“Those candidates, who are
running for the office, and at the
same time, think it should be
abolished, are hypocrites,” he
said.
“It is a vital office and
especially important to the
people.
“The lieutenant governor
should be a lobbist for the
people. His loyalty should be to
the people for he is elected
state-wide and he is in a position
of influence legislation affecting
their daily lives,” Laite said.
“If the duties of the lieutenant
governor were expanded it
would cut down on the bickering
that sometimes goes on. I think
the lieutenant governor’s duties
should be clearly defined.
“The people are hungry for
grassroots politics.
“If elected, I will hold
townhall meetings throughout
the state where people can sit
down and discuss their con-

cerns, needs and fears,” Laite
said.
The Macon Democrat thinks
he has a very good chance being
elected.
He served three terms as a
state representative.
The candidate is married to
the former Marilyn M. Meeks of
Alma, Ga. They have three
children.
“I promise the voters that I
will not become just another
bureaucrat, but will be an
elected official of the people,”
he said.
Mudslides
Rain that falls on “quick
clay” — ground that has a
high water content with little
salt to bind the soil — can
trigger massive mudslides. In
1950, a slide in Sweden
shifted 106,000,000 cubic feet
of earth and carried much of
the town of Surte into the
Gota River.

Liddy no comments
latest trial order
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Sporting his familiar bushy
mustache and white prison
socks, Watergate conspirator G.
Gordon Liddy was customarily
silent Friday when a federal
judge ordered him to trial on
charges of contempt of Con
gress.
At the end of a hearing at
which his lawyer argued the
charge should be dropped, the
flamboyant but ever mum
former FBI agent and White
House “plumber” hoisted a
large envelope for reporters to
see. It said, “No Comment.”
In a separate development,
another judge Friday ordered
Special Watergate Prosecutor
Leon Jaworski to provide him
and the six defendants in the
Ellsberg break-in case, includ
ing Liddy, any evidence Jawor
ski has about President Nixon’s
possible involvement in the
case.
U.S. District Court Judge
Gerhard A. Gesell ordered
Jaworski to respond by April 29
whether Nixon might have
authorized or known in advance
of the Labor Day weekend,
1971, burglary attempt at the
Beverly Hills, Calif., office of
the psychiatrist of Pentagon
Papers defendant Daniel Ells
berg.
Gesell noted that former
White House special counsel
Charles W. Colson, one of the
defendants, had contended the
break-in was justified because
it was “authorized by the
President pursuant to his power
to protect national security.”
The indicted Ellsberg con
spirators also include former
White House domestic affairs
adviser John D. Ehrlichman,
Felipe de Diego, and convicted
Watergate break-in conspira
tors Liddy, Eugenio R. Mar
tinez and Bernard L. Barker.
According to various official
accounts, the Ellsberg break-in
was carried out by Martinez,
Barker and De Diego, and
planned by Ehrlichman, Liddy
and Colson.
Liddy, already sentenced
twice, was charged last month
with two counts of contempt of
Congress for refusing even to
take the oath at hearings last
July probing possible CIA
He thinks fishing
bad for children
NEWCASTLE - UNDER-LY
ME, England (UPI) — Fishing
can lead to violent behavior by
children, according to a local
official.
“Children who fish are being
taught to inflict cruel injuries,”
City Councillor Derek Wright
told a town meeting. “Once
they become insensitive to
harming fish, they may feel the
same way towards human
beings.”
Got the message
POMONA, Calif. (UPI) —
Todd Misfeldt, 39, and Bonnie
Johnson, 19, were injured
Friday when an airplane
piloted by Misfeldt crashed into
a billboard reading “Learn to
Fly.”
Both were listed in satisfacto
ry condition after the crash.
The Cessna 150, which had
developed engine trouble,
crashed into the billboard while
Misfeldt was making an emer
gency landing at Brackett
Airport.
