JONES MADISON, Wis. (UPI) - A 31-year-old bachelor has tired of the singles clubs, bars and dance halls and has decided to take a more direct approach to findng a wife. He spent $175.07 for newspaper ads and is accepting applications from prospective brides. “It’s not a joke at all,” said wife-seeking bachelor, who wished to remain anonymous. “There should be some more convenient way, more efficient way of seeing people that you like than just taking potluck at bars, dance halls and things like that,” he said. So he placed 11-by-4-inch ads this week in Madison’s two newspapers. But from the looks of the advertisement, it appears he is seeking the perfect wife. “Are you tired of hanging Vol. 102 No. 291 She was trying to help Car pool under court order SANTA ANA, Calif. (UPI) - Garlene Zappitelli said she was just trying to heed President Ford’s advice to save gasoline. Now she may have the only car pool in the nation placed under a state order not to share gasoline expenses. Mrs. Zappitelli pleaded her case Wednesday before a hearing by the California Public Utilities Commission. At issue is whether Mrs. Zappitelli is running a car pool or a small busline. To the commission, a car pool must be noncommercial and operate with a private auto no bigger than a station wagon.

Banks reportedly had been hunting in the area where the bodies were found just after sundown on Nov. 7. It was he who led officers to the site. Investigators would not divulge the information which resulted in the arrest of the young black man, but it is known that Banks owned a shotgun of the type which killed the Jonesboro band director and his former star student. On the night of Nov. 7, Henry County Detective Dick Barnes answered a telephone call from an anonymous caller stating a man had attempted to wave him down on Rock Quarry road with the story two people had been shot. Officers went to the scene and found the two bodies in dense woods about 100 yards off Rock Quarry road. Both victims had been shot twice at close range with a 12 gauge shotgun. Miss Hartsfield had a red blanket pulled over her body. Both bodies were still warm. The subsequent investigation resulted in hundreds of in terrogation sessions in attempts to solve the baffling crime. Mr. King was a respected band director who presented half time performances at to the bus line for lost business. Eight of Mrs. Zappitelli’s riders appeared at the commis sion hearing Wednesday, testi fying that they had not been commercially solicited to ride the Zappitelli line, as the bus company charged. The commission said its decision will take about a month to prepare. “I don’t feel I’m guilty of anything except sharing a ride, which the President and every one else asked us to do,” Mrs. Zappitelli said. “I asked them (the commis sion) if I could continue the car pool if I charged them nothing,” she added. “They said yes. So I won’t collect any money.” Daily Since 1872 Atlanta Falcon football games. Miss Hartsfield was a student at Clayton Junior College and a former band student of King’s at Jonesboro High School. Miss Hartsfield was a close personal friend of the entire King family and one of the closest friends of Marvin King’s daughter. College tuition to go up ATLANTA (UPI) - Shealy McCoy, vice chancellor for fiscal affairs of the state Board of Regents, said Wednesday inflationary costs may make it necessary to raise tutition fees at Georgia colleges by at least 10 per cent. McCoy said at least $5 million is needed to make up for inflation in the cost of fuel, paper, utilities and other items. The $5 million would come from a 10 per cent increase in over-all tuition for the system’s three levels of institutions. McCoy said the present annual operating budget for the university system is $384 million with $259 million com ing from state appropriations, SSO million from tutition fees and the remainder from other sources. Board of Regents member Lee Burge said it may be necessary to increase the tuitions because of the “failure of the governor to include inflationary cost figures in operational areas” of the university system budget. A 10 per cent pay increase has been requested by the board of regents for faculty members of the university system and McCoy said the amount of the tutition increase would depend on whether or not the pay increase is granted. Jim Mclntyre of the state office of planning and budget said Gov.-elect George Busbee is expected to make a decision in the next few days of the salary increase. Mclntrye said, “The universi ty system is going to get somewhere in the neighborhood of S3O million more for its budget excluding a salary increase for its faculty.” I WIFE jfl WAVTED * H *”»w-s .’ * "*/*’ ’ * ’*>♦**< »»> * A *«t*| »•< »♦* * > SRE -* ‘t MS«a>l «• H '.J ’■ i»-«r.s- jy — ... ’•'•'•■■’ - .. *X“ J”’ m *«««*« i.;.’, V JKfaM OwirW AMwtw $ «t» n •»w «« ~<■ mßk - ‘ /*»**•*> •»» *• *-*• Jl -»•**' *■ <* **’ ♦» "*'••■•■• .>» n< **»>-, OF IS » t- |r JK «■ ?«■..-1« M t *■’ t* FW *^x»'.. / / f. -t 9*4 - >• - ?r «. >•.* -vv *S'<l« **» -t . . - f JV ■*••? ■•**»*' «*-*«> k :«♦ ‘f •? t •**“ M p»t« ■»« .*«--» 9* *<:*<* \t> ■•-' f •;.<■» >•<♦«-< .««»• I a- -‘■- - • WW* ’• 'J W.WI-S • «'. . •.’..■l *"'•■ ••»♦■•« • '•> •*■•«<• »• ‘‘-o*. •♦■*»,«•« -« \'B Mv 2HB ; ' mJ WlWry’nw* M« :■ WH >;-.- ■ r ' How ad looked in newspaper. • A '^' v ' -i' I 1 * ■ ? “1; President Ford, addressing the Business Council at the Mayflower Hotel, said he would soon present Congress new plans to fight the “devils of inflation, recession and energy.” (UPI) Concerned Ford talks with auto makers WASHINGTON (UPI) - A “deeply concerned” President Ford met with the ailing auto industry’s top executives and union leaders at the White House today after promising new proposals to help beat inflation and recession. In a speech Wednesday night, Ford said his proposals would include “no drastic action.” Ford said he called today’s meeting to see what could be done to solve the auto industry’s problems of falling sales and rising layoffs. The industry has been one of the hardest hit by inflation and recession. The President sat at the Cabinet table with officials of Ford, General Motors, Ameri can Motors and Chrysler and President Leonard Woodcock of the United Auto Workers union. Also attending were Tran sportation Secretary Claude Brinegar, Treasury Secretary William Simon and Michigan Gov. William Milliken, who has pressed hard for federal inter vention in his state, biggest auto producer in the country. Spelling out his latest views in a speech Wednesday night, ®A Prize-Winning Newspaper 1974 Better Newspaper Contests Ford said he is “deeply concerned” about “three domestic devils — inflation, recession and energy.” He said the auto industry’s problems “affect our economy on a very broad basis.” Ford told a dinner meeting of the Business Council “the economy is in difficult straits” and that he would propose “a number of new or alternative measures to augment and update” his policy by mid- January, shortly after the new Congress convenes, “if not sooner.” The President did not go into specifics before the group of more than 100 corporate of ficials. But he made it clear that he is not planning a major shift in the broad policy he advanced last October, although the White House said earlier Wednesday Ford had all but abandoned hope for passage this year of his 5 per cent income tax surcharge proposal and did not know if he would put it before the new Congress. In sum, Ford said in his speech, “Our country is not in an economic crisis ... that demands immediate and dras tic action.” At one point, he drew applause when he told the businessmen: “If there are any among you who want me to take a 180-degree turn from inflation-fighting to recession ary pump-priming, they will be disappointed. I will continue to treat this general economic ailment with a balanced pro gram.” Ford said he knew further steps must be taken to deal with continuing high rates of inflation, declining production and rising joblessness, which reached 6.5 per cent last month. But “I cannot and will not promise you a sudden change for the better,” he said because even if additional steps are taken now the results “would not be felt for months to come.” Moreover, he said he was skeptical about “short-term panaceas” such as an immedi ate return to wage and price controls, mandatory gasoline rationing or “other compulsory programs that treat the symp toms but retard the cure.”
