still looked suspicious. Tyrone
Brooks said the men apparently
left their food and fishing gear
behind them in a camper when
they set out in their boat,
presumably to go fishing.
But Lt. Floyd Rose, chief
investigator for the Escambia
County sheriff’s office, said not
all of the men’s food and gear
had been found.
“There absolutely was no
evidence of foul play,” Rose
said. “The men each wore two
to three sets of heavy clothing
and heavy boots.”
He said a witness had told
him the five set out in an
overloaded boat in bad weather
Nov. 30.
Members of the families of
the five victims, all from the
Atlanta area, accompanied by
representatives of the SCLC,
planned to call on Pensacola
authorities today to learn
details about the investigation
of the tragedy.
The Rev. Ralph Abernathy,
head of the SCLC, looked at the
Santa Rosa Sound area Thurs
day and talked to members of
the search and rescue unit
which led a 13-day search for
the bodies.
Those of Robert Walker and
John Sterling were found

By 1980, about half the U.S.

opinion sometimes heard, all
through the remaining 1970 s the
demand for workers with
manual skills will be just as
great as that for people with
mental skills.

More
jobs
to go
By JERELYN EDDINGS
ATLANTA (UPI) - More
Georgians will lose their jobs
during the coming months,
according to a state Labor
Department spokesman who
predicts the job market is going
to get tighter before it loosens.
More than 73,000 Georgians
are currently out of work,
40,000 of them receiving unem
ployment benefits from the
state.
“We’re not going to come out
of this as quickly as people
think and hope,” said Labor
Department spokesman Bill
Robinson. “Things have got to
run their course. It will be
some time before the wheels
start turning again.”
The Labor Department,
which has paid out around $2
million in unemployment bene
fits each week for almost two
months, predicts inflation will
hit 7.5 to 8 per cent next year
in Georgia, compared to more
than 5 per cent now.
Robinson said the job market
in Georgia is being hurt by
troubles in the automotive and
housing industries. But the
state’s textile industry has been
hardest hit, he said, and has
been forced to cut back more
jobs than any other industry.
The textile industry’s eco
nomic problems stem from a
depressed housing industry,
Robinson said.
“If there are no new houses
or apartments, there’s simply
no demand for carpets, tiles
and so on,” he said. “People
are being very selective in
what they are buying and
they’re just not buying those
extra tiles.”
In addition to the 40,000
Georgians receiving unemploy
ment benefits, 33,000 have ex
hausted their unemployment
benefits. The state has a work
force of two million and 25 per
cent of the work force is not
included in the 73,000 because
they are not eligible for the
jobless benefits.
However, some hopeful signs
are visible.
Robinson noted that interest
rates are dropping and the
money market is loosening. He
said the public service employ
ment program now in Congress
is also encouraging.
Construction of some two
million homes is to begin next
year, and Robinson said that
would get the housing industry
moving again.
Bulloch
stores
to open
STATESBORO (UPI) -
Stores will be open in Bulloch
County this weekend pending a
motion next Friday by Superior
Court Judge Colbert Hawkins.
Earlier Judge Hawkins had
signed a temporary injunction
to prevent Woolworth’s, Elliott
Drugs and Super X Drug stores
from operating on Sunday
because of the common day of
rest law.
A show-cause hearing was
held in Superior Court Friday
and Hawkins heard arguments
for dismissal of the injunction
based upon the constitutionality
of the law.
Lawyer Lehman Franklin
entered a motion for dismissal
and asked that the injunction
be lifted and asked for a
continuance until he could
prepare a stronger case.
