The governor of Alabama had
come to Capitol Hill to testify
in support of federal funds for a
waterway project, but found
himself Monday about to
undergo an hour-long question
ing by unabashed House fresh
men Democrats.
The same House freshman
had played a major role earlier
in the year in deposing two
powerful House committee
chairmen. Now they were
setting their sights as inter
rogators of presidential as
pirants.
Wallace had been invited by
Rep. Carroll Hubbard, D-Ky.,
chairman of the group, to speak
to the freshmen.
“My aides talked me into
this,” he told reporters; “I
didn’t know about the question
and answer period.”
All day long Wallace had
been in charge —during the
traditionally cordial hearing of
the House appropriations sub
committee where he received a
rare standing ovation, chatting
with reporters both on camera
and off, and greeting well
wishers at a luncheon reception
hosted by the Tennessee-
Tombigbee Waterway Au
thority, of which he is
chairman.
Now Rep. Gladys Spellman,
D-Md., was reminding the
governor she represented Lau
rel, Md., where he was shot
during the 1972 presidential
campaign. Then the questions
began. Would he accept a black
or a woman as running mate?
Since he was shot, has he
changed his mind on gun
control?
Rep. Max Baucus, D-Mont.,
said Alabama’s per capita
income and aid to education
were decreasing. What did the
governor have to say?
“You can do anything you
want with figures,” Wallace
returned.
Rep. Don Bonker, D-Wash.,
asked what Wallace could do
for law and order at the federal
level, saying the crime rate in
Montgomery, Ala., had the
sharpest rise in the country.
Wallace said it wasn’t the
crime rate, but rather the
murder rate. “There’s nothing
you can do with murder
because that’s a crime of
passion.”
The buzzer on a clock went
off, signaling a House vote.
“There’s the buzzer,” Wallace
said.
Hubbard wanted Wallace to
stay until the congressmen
returned.
“You don’t really want me to
stay, do you?” Wallace asked
pleadingly. Hubbard said
“yes.”
When they came back, the
same caustic questioning con
tinued —on the Middle East,
Vietnam, an independent party
bid, on Wallace’s statement
that the United states should
have bombed Hanoi. .
Wallace asked whether the
clock was buzzing again. It
wasn’t.
Finally, the ordeal was over
and Wallace, looking tired, was
wheeled from the room with his
wife, Cornelia, at his side.

Nunn says allies
should help
with refugees
ATLANTA (UPI) - Sen. Sam
Nunn, D-Ga., says the nation’s
allies in the Southeast Asia
Treaty Organization should be
called upon to aid in the
relocation of thousands of South
Vietnamese who are fleeing
their country.
“The United States cannot
afford economically, militarily
and diplomatically to continue
its foreign policy on a strictly
unilateral basis,” Nunn told
President Ford and Secretary
of State Henry Kissinger in a
letter Monday.
Nunn said that the United
States cannot even provide jobs
for more than 8 million
unemployed Americans and
urged SEATO allies to assist in
absorbing the refugees.
Nunn said that of America’s
six SEATO allies, only Aus
tralia has shown a willingness
to accept a large number of
Chrysler offers
new cash rebate
By EDWARD S. LECHTZIN
UPI Auto Writer
DETROIT (UPI) - There
won’t be any balloons or clowns
in the new cash rebate program
Chrysler Corp, is launching to
entice car buyers to use then
federal income tax rebates as
down payments on its small
cars.
But the No. 3 automaker is
hoping the promise of S2OO
rebates will be as successful as
the “Car Clearance Carnival”
that added the word “rebate”
to dealer vocabularies. It’s
tying “Rebate II” to the federal
tax rebate checks that start
going out in the mail in May.
Beginning Thursday, Chrysler
will offer the S2OO rebates to
buyers of its Dodge Dart,
Plymouth Valiant and Ply
mouth Duster models. The
program runs through May 31
and also offers S2OO payments
to buyers of its Tradesman,
Sportsman and Voyager van
models.
Since Chrysler’s original pro
gram ended, its sales have
slumped along with the rest of
the industry but the major auto
makers say they have no
intention of joining in the new
program.
The central theme in “Rebate
II” is the 70 million income tax
rebate checks the Internal
Revenue Service will begin
mailing May 12. Worth a total
of $B.l billion, the rebates will
range from SIOO to S2OO.
Chrysler will hit hard on the
theme: “Good news for you
from Congress. Good news for
you from Chrysler.” Advertis
ing pictures will show checks
from both the IRS along with
Chrysler rebate checks.
R. D. McLaughlin, Chrysler
vice president for sales, said
Monday that the firm is re
entering the rebate ring be
cause its small car inventories
have begun growing again. It
has a supply of Valiants and
Darts that could last more than
three months if sales don’t pick
up.
ISRAEL PILGRIMS
NEW YORK (UPI) - More
than 2,250,000 Americans have
visited Israel since creation of
the Jewish state in May, 1948,
Israel Zuriel, Commissioner for
Tourism North America, told a
news conference here. He noted
that many of the visitors were
Christian pilgrims and said
Israel was making special
efforts to increase the flow
during the Roman Catholic
Holy Year.
refugees.
“I am afraid that without the
support of our allies, the
refugee problem will intensify
the severe economic problems
in our country,” the junior
senator from Georgia told the
President and the secretary of
state.
“Our country has a moral
committment to our citizens to
push our allies to fulfill their
neglected obligation,” he said.
“Our country is now bearing
the cost of the entire evacua
tion, and will, unless some
diplomatic initiatives are made,
bear the major brunt of the
problems attendant in relocat
ing thousands of homeless
Vietnamese.”
In a separate telegram to the
President, Nunn called for
clear orders for a total and
complete evacuation of all
remaining Americans from
South Vietnam.
“What we’re trying to do is to
keep the pipeline filled and
keep all of our plants working,”
McLaughlin said. “All consum
ers need is a reason to buy a
car and this program will do
it.”
Mercer to build
-MACON, Ga. (UPI) — Mercer University officials say
studies have revealed it will be cost almost as much for
them to buy a department store building in downtown
Macon for use as a law school as it will be to build a new
building on campus.
A university spokesman said because of the calculations
plans will proceed to build the new law school center on
the campus.
The spokesman said architects’ studies of the old Sears
Roebuck building, for sale for SBOO,OOO, showed that $1.3
million in renovations would be needed to make the
building useable, and the cost of the new building on the
campus would be $2.5 million.
Loss reported
-ATLANTA (UPI) — Fuqua Industries, Inc., the Atlanta
based leisure-time business corporation, has reported its
first quarterly loss in nine years.
A company spokesman said the loss was attributed to
the poor performance of Fuqua’s subsidiary, Interstate
Motor Freight, a trucking firm. He said that the
corporation’s mobile home and real estate operations
were also unprofitable this year.
The Atlanta-based conglommerate said that it lost
$1,585,000, or 19 cents per share, on sales and revenues of
$119,041,000 in the quarter ending March 31.

More security for mountain
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga.
(UPI) — Stone Mountain Park
Police Chief W.C. Studdard
says park officials plan to hire
four more officers to patrol
both the top and the bottom of
the mountain, after another
amateur climber came close to
falling from the peak.
Studdard said Monday plans
were also being made to paint
a white strip around the base of
the mountain and post more
warning signs at appropriate

intervals.
Dr. Mark Edward White, 28,
an internist at the University of
Michigan Hospital at Ann Arbor
who described himself as an
“amateur climber,” had to be
rescued Sunday from the north
slope of the 825-foot-highmoun
tain.
He told rescuers that he had
climbed up the east side of the
mountain and had made it
about 300 feet down the north
slope when he discovered he
was on incline where he could
go neither up nor down.
He said he heard somone
yelling to stay where he was,
and he clung to the side of the
mountain until rescuers
reached him.
’ “I think once we get this line
and more policemen maybe we
can slow this kind of thing
down,” Studdard said. “It’ll
cost a good bit of money but if
we can save a life, it’ll be
worth it.”
