murders for which the Florida
ex-convict is formally charged.
Baldwin County District At
torney Joseph Briley will be the
first to prosecute Knowles,
arguing in Superior Court today
that the suspect should be kept
in custody pending trial for the
murders of Carswell Carr and
his 15-year-old daughter,
Mandy.
Knowles, 28, is also suspected
in the murders of two Florida
women who were strangled last
summer and the shooting
deaths of Florida highway
patrolman Charles E. Campbell
of Perry, Fla., and business
man James E. Meyer, 29, of
Wilmington, Del., who were
abducted in Florida Nov. 16.
Their bodies were found near
Perry, Ga., last Thursday.
Authorities in Alabama, Ohio
and New Mexico also want to
question Knowles about mur
ders in those states.
Gov. Jimmy Carter has asked
Georgia Attorney General Ar
thur Bolton to assist in the
prosecution, to provide continui
ty in various cases made
against Knowles in different
counties and judicial circuits.
Col. Herman Cofer, the state
public safety director, and
Henry County Sheriff Jimmie
H. Glass Saturday directed a
massive but unsuccessful
search for Campbell’s gun in
the woods where Knowles had
run a week earlier. Police
believe Knowles was armed
when he crashed through a
road block near McDonough
and fled into the woods, but he
was unarmed when captured.
The search for the Florida
trooper’s gun will continue this
week.
In Macon, Miami attorney
Sheldon Yavitz, representing
Knowles, is in jail pending a
contempt hearing before U.S.
District Judge Wilbur Owens
Wednesday.
Yavitz twice refused to turn
over a tape recorded “diary” of
Knowles’ travels, but Friday
relented and told U.S. Marshals
that the tapes were in a safe at
his Miami home.
The tapes were brought to
Owens, who refused to com
ment on them.
The judge set bail at $15,000
for Yavitz, but attorney Ellis
Rubin of Miami Beach, repre
senting Yavitz, said the lawyer
would remain in custody as a
protest of Owens’ ruling that
the tapes can be used as
evidence against Knowles.
Yavitz said Knowles gave him
the tapes with instructions to
listen to them only after his
death, and that they have
remained sealed since then
unheard by Yavitz, who con
tends that they contain
privileged communication
between attorney and client.

Rep. Morris Udall
to seek White House
By STEWART POWELL
BEDFORD, N.H. (UPI) — Rep. Morris K. Udall of
Arizona has become the first Democrat to announce
officially that he will seek the White House.
Udall, moving to take advantage of a liberal void among
Democratic presidential candidates, announced Saturday
he would enter New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation
presidential primary.
Udall’s decision nearly two years before the election
reflected the growing trend of the last 15 years to start
campaigning for the presidency early.
Sens. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., and Walter
Mondale, D-Minn., have withdrawn their names from
consideration, although neither had formally entered the
race.
Udall, 52, said Kennedy’s withdrawal meant the
nomination was wide open. He did not mention Mondale,
but he is a liberal in the Kennedy-Mondale mold and
contrasts sharply with the more conservative politics of
Sen. Henry Jackson, D-Wash., who was expected to
announce his candidacy early next year.
No incumbent member of the House has been elected to
the presidency since James A. Garfield was inaugurated
in 1881. Garfield, a Republican, was a senator-elect when
he was nominated.
Udall said a five-month tour of 25 states convinced him
he had “enough support to justify an expanded effort."
He said he has raised about $25,000 for his presidential
campaign. Other major Democratic aspirants have
raised more than $300,000.
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen Jr., DTex., said last month in New
Hampshire he has raised $365,000 so far and has not yet
decided whether to run. Jackson also has raised more
than $300,000.
“It’s my judgment that it’s in the best interests of the
Democratic party and the country that we have the widest
possible field in 1976,” Udall said.
Udall started campaigning in May after 30 House
members said it was time for the Democrats to seek a
wide range of candidates, including those in the lower
chamber.
Udall said “the struggle for the 1976 nomination ought to
begin for the Democrats with a dose of realism, the
realization that we cannot hope to win the Presidency
unless we can put behind us the kind of divisiveness which
is responsible for two successive defeats,” in 1968 and
1972.
Udall said he would stage an “open campaign” and
chose to run in New Hampshire “because my supporters
here are anxious to go to work.”
Bus strike
is over
By JACK NOCK
PHOENIX (UPI) - Grey
hound buses —mostly empty —
were rolling again today
'following settlement of a six
day strike against the nation’s
biggest intercity bus carrier.
The strikers won pay raises of
about 16 per cent over three
years.
Negotiators prodded by a
federal mediator reached
agreement at midday Sunday.
It will take until Dec. 18 for the
16,000 strikers —represented by
30 unions —to finish voting on
ratification, but union leaders
predicted a yes vote.
Passengers trickled back to
the Greyhound terminals, either
unaware that the strike had
ended or reluctant to change
alternate plans made earlier.
The strike threw a burden of
thousands of unexpected pass
engers onto Amtrak, the rail
passenger agency, and Conti
nental Trailways, the only other
major nationwide bus line.
“Business is very slow, less
than half of what it would
ordinarily be,” said Marcan-
tonio Perales, Greyhound’s
assistant Los Angeles depot
manager.
At the station in Phoenix,
only blocks from where the
settlement was negotiated,
there were only three persons
waiting for buses more than
eight hours later, and only two
had left on earlier buses.
Details of the contract were
not made public, but a source
close to,the negotiations said
the offer generally involves
raises of 6 per cent in the first
year, and 5 per cent in the
second and third.
The pay agreement is com
plex because the bus line’s
employes fall into so many
categories.
Also, there is no single base
pay rate for Greyhound drivers,
who are paid according to a
complicated formula involving
minimum daily runs, mileage,
and the type of route driven,
with different rates for local,
suburban and inter-city service.
The source said drivers will
receive an immediate 11 cent
per hour raise plus an increase
of just over half a cent on
mileage rates, with a raise of
10 cents and four-tenths of a
cent on mileage the second
year and 10 cents and three
tenths of a cent the third year.
Hourly workers are to receive
an additional 25 cents an hour
the first and second years and
21 cents the third, the source
said.
Mechanics will get the hourly
raises given other workers, plus
an additional 10 cents an hour
immediately plus five cents
more in each of the succeeding
years.

Talmadge asks:
Can we afford it?
W ASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen.
Herman E. Talmadge, D-Ga.,
feels inflation has made it more
important for Congressional
budget writers to consider 1975
federal spending on the basis of
“can we afford it,” rather than
“do we need it.”
“The war against inflation is
not going to be won by summit
conferences at the posh Wash
ington Hilton Hotel, or by blue
ribbon panels holding coffee
and-talk sessions all over the
country,” said Talmadge. “The
battlefield for the war on
inflation is Congress.”
In his weekly news letter to
constituents, Talmadge said
Congress can combat inflation
by reducing government spen
ding.
In evaluating each federal
spending proposal, Talmadge
said, Congress should give first
priority not to need but to
whether the government can
afford it.
“The American people can be
relied upon to do their part,”
he said. “But before being
called upon to tighten their own
belts, they have every right to
demand that the government
stop wasting money, and stop
spending money we don’t have
sally desired by employes of
Greyhound nationwide,” said
Donald L. Rhodes of San
Francisco, secretary of the
Amalgamated Council of Grey
hound Divisions, the joint
bargaining unit.
for programs we don’t need—
whether they are at home, or
from Afghanistan to Zambia.”
Talmadge said the current
inflation was spurred by
American budget policies in the
post-World War II era, in which
“the United States government
has been spending, spending,
spending.
“There was little though for
the day of reckoning that sooner
or later would have to come,”
said Talmadge. “That day of
reckoning is now here.”
