Welfare recipients
need work: Ginn
WASHINGTON(UPI)—Citing
an “urgent need” for jobs for
welfare recipients, Rep. Howard
“Bo” Ginn urged President Ford
Monday to create jobs for the
recipients with money proposed
persons unemployment rolls.
In a speech to the U. S. House
of Representatives, Ginn, D-Ga.,
called on Ford to “ restore dignity
to deserving people who are on
the welfare rolls by giving them
an honest day’s pay for an hon
est day’s work.”
Ford has said he will spend
$415 million to make public ser
vice jobs available in state and
local governments. He said the
jobs would be filled by those on
unemployment rolls.
But Ginn proposed that able
bodied welfare recipients get the
jobs instead, saying they are “at
the bottom of the ladder in terms
of education, skills and
experience.”
Ginn, who outlined his plan
in a telegram to the President,
told fellow congressmen, “We

Richard still
loves Liz
By ROBERT MUSEL
LONDON (UPI) - Richard
Burton says he still loves
Elizabeth Taylor and she feels
the same way about him, but
they just can’t get along with
each other.
Burton brushes off any idea
of a reconciliation, however,
saying last June’s divorce was
the final burial rite of the two
stars’ great romance.
“Unfortunately, we’re incom
patible,” he says. “We love
each other, but we can’t live
together.”
There are some 15 million wel
fare recipients in the United
i States. Georgia pays out about
; $lB million in welfare funds each
month.
Burton sat in a crowded
tavern last Friday, chatting
amiably with luncheon compan
ions until asked about reports
Elizabeth is planning to marry
Henry Wynberg, the man who
showed up when he moved out.
The 49-year-old actor’s face
suddenly hardened.
“Who is he?” he asked,
staring straight ahead.
He paused for a moment.
“Ah, well,” Burton finally
said. “Elizabeth is such a
moral person that unquestiona
bly she will marry this chap.
She’s not a layabout. If she
goes to bed with someone she
marries them.”
He went on to say he had “no
doubt she will marry this... Mr.
Weisberg” —deliberately mis
pronouncing the name of his
former wife’s friend.
“I’m very fond of her and I
love her very much,” he said.
“And that’s reciprocal. And I
admire her very much. She’s a
very lovely and loving woman.
I’m perfectly convinced she will
marry somebody. Presumably
this fellow.”
Burton and Miss Taylor
separated in July, 1973, after 10
years of marriage and several
attempts at reconciliation. She
obtained a Swiss divorce last
June.

\ Calories needed
\for normal growth
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I’m 11
years old, five-feet-three and
weigh 90 to 95 pounds. People
think I’m rather slim, but I
don’t think I am. I take ballet
and in ballet you should be
skinny. People think I’m
crazy, but I think I need a
diet. I’ve gained 15 pounds in
six months. I’ve stayed at my
present weight about a
month, and I suppose I’ll gain
five more pounds. I’ve only
grown a little over three in
ches with my weight gain.
I have a real problem be
cause I eat continually and
can’t stop. I’ve tried several
times to go on a diet, but it
just won’t work. Do you have
any suggestions? I’d like to
lose five or 10 pounds.
DEAR READER - The
only way to tell if you are too
fat or not is to see how much
fat you have under your skin.
If, indeed, you have a roll
around the middle or some
excess fat around your navel
then you are eating more
calories than you need.
Otherwise, you probably need
all those calories for your
normal growth and develop
ment, and I wouldn’t do a
thing to help you damage
your health. Sorry about that.
During growth you are
forming a lot of new body
structures. Each tiny chemi
cal compound that is formed
uses some energy from your
food to hook the atoms and
chemicals together. Every
muscle fiber you develop to
help you become a mature,
good ballet dancer is con
structed by using lots of
energy. That is why growing
people use more energy than
those of us who have stopped
growing. Obviously you are
still in your growth phase and
need that vital energy badly.
Also, the energy you use in
ballet takes a number of calo-
Democrats better off
without Ted: Kirbo
ATLANTA (UPI)-State par
ty leaders say Sen. Edward
Kennedy’s decision not to run
for president will not substan
tially affect plans for the 1976
elections.
“Most people had already
reached the conclusion that he
wasn’t going to run,” said
Charles Kirbo, chairman of the
state Democratic party.
Kirbo said he believes the
Democrats will be better off
without Kennedy on the ticket
in 1976. Although admitting
Kennedy is widely popular, Kir
bo said “he has a strong neg
ative vote all over the country.
There’s a large group of people
that just don’t like him.”
Kennedy, a Democratic sen
ator from Massachusetts and
considered to be the party’s
leading presidential hopeful, an
nounced Monday he would not
accept the nomination because
of personal and family commit
ments.
Gov. Jimmy Carter said, “I
don’t think it will materially
change the situation in the
Democratic party two years be
fore the election.”
Carter, who has been men
tioned as a possible 1976 Dem
ocratic presidential nominee,
said anyone interested in run
ning would not have been held
back by a Kennedy campaign.

ries. I know you have to prac
tice regularly to become any
good at ballet and regular ex
ercise does end up using a lot
of calories. I think the best
thing I can do for you is to
discourage any real weight
loss effort on your part unless
you truly have excess fat
under your skin. A good
ballet dancer needs a strong,
healthy body, and it is impor
tant that you eat right to ob
tain this goal.
DEAR DR. LAMB - Will
you kindly tell me if there are
any side effects to the drug
Atromid-S used to reduce
cholesterol levels? I use little
or no food containing high
amounts of cholesterol.
DEAR READER - Pa
tients have tolerated
Atromid-S surprisingly well.
A few patients have digestive
complaints, mostly nausea,
diarrhea, gas and similar
problems. Even fewer pa
tients complain of headache,
dizziness or weakness. This
medicine, also known as
clofibrate, is useful for many
patients. It is not a substitute
tor a good dietary program,
but, if needed, should be used
with the diet.
To control the cholesterol
level you need to do more
than just limit the foods that
are high in cholesterol. The
body also makes cholesterol
and will do so if you eat too
many calories of any type,
carbohydrate, protein or fat,
and is especially likely to pro
duce fatty-cholesterol particles
in the blood if you eat too much
fat, particularly the saturated
fats from animal sources.

Lamb’s booklet on
cholesterol, send 50 cents to

Cliff Arquette
dead at 68
BURBANK, Calif. (UPI) -
Cliff Arquette, who played
television’s Charley Weaver,
the baggy pants sage of “Mt.
Idy,” died of a heart attack
Monday at age 68.
Arquette had been admitted
to St. Joseph’s Hospital Satur
day night, complaining of chest
pains.
He had suffered an almost
fatal heart attack on April 24,
1972. He recovered well enough
to return to “The Hollywood

was a regular, although he was

Maddox may enter
presidential primary
By WILLIAM COTTERELL
ATLANTA (UPI) - Lt. Gov.
Lester G. Maddox, worried that
“the radicals, liberals and so
cialists,” might dominate presi
dential politics in two years,
plans to enter the 1976 New
Hampshire primary if Gov.
George Wallace doesn’t — or if
Gov. Jimmy Carter does.
Maddox, who lost the Demo
cratic nomination for governor
to House Majority Leader
George Busbee by more than
200,000 votes just three weeks
ago, told Capitol newsmen in a
series of separate interviews
Monday that Wallace is the only
candidate he could support for
president currently.
The Alabama governor’s
health has made it doubtful that
he can run, and a Wallace
spokesman said Monday the
three-time candidate personally
hopes not to run again if some
other Democrat will take up the
causes Wallace espouses.
“I say, if George Wallace is
not a candidate, there is a very
strong likelihood Lester Maddox
will be,” Maddox said. “I still
believe that there is a very
strong possibility that Gov. Wal
lace will be a candidate.
“But,” Maddox added,
“rather than let the nomination
go by default to the radicals,
liberals and socialists, I would
be a candidate.”
The only thing that could get
Maddox into the race more
quickly than Wallace’s absence
would be Carter’s presence, the
lieutenant governor said. Carter
has been actively campaigning
for Democratic candidates as
chairman of the national party’s
campaign committee this year,
and plans a presidential bid in
“He can change his attack in
New Hampshire to outdo (Sen.
Henry) Scoop Jackson (D-
Wash.) and others who may be
seeking the nomination.”
Shaw said he believes Car
ter’s previous strategy had been
to try and capture about 25 per
cent of the vote against Ken
nedy in the New Hampshire
primary, then “try to show
some strength” in the Florida
primary against Alabama Gov.
George Wallace.
ville family, and early in his
career, while still a relatively
young man, made a reputation
for playing pixillated old men.
For the last 20 years of his
life he was identified with
Charley Weaver, a character he
originated for a local Los
Angeles television show, “Dave
and Charley,” and made into a
national television institution.
His specialty was recounting
tales of “Mt. Idy,” the Ohio
hamlet he invented, along with
a cast of townfolk. The town
served as a backdrop for his
homespun philosophy and
humor, especially when he
would read “a letter I got today
from Momma.”

“If Wallace doesn’t enter,
Carter’s entry would give
strong impetus to my entering,”
said Maddox. “He speaks for
the radical establishment that
thinks government belongs to
the in-crowd.”

Maddox’s unsuccessful cam

political debts have not been

Saturday afternoon and ignited
it in her home.
She was listed in critical
