Two cars which were stolen in

They also made off with a 1961

Nichols visits
Rep. Flynt, wife
Clyde Nichols, vice president
of Happyvale Flour Mills, said
he visited Rep. and Mrs. Jack
Flynt at the LaGrange Hospital
and found the congressman in a
great deal of pain from broken
ribs.
He was not allowed to have
visitors, but Mr. Nichols said he
did see Mrs. Flynt who also is
still a patient. She narrowly
escaped serious head injuries
when she was thrown through
the bus window and left hanging
head down by her feet which
caught between the seat and
window. Mr. Nichols said she
could barely touch the
pavement with her fingertips.
Had her feet not caught, she
might have suffered serious
head injuries, he said.
The Flynts were among 19
passengers, including Army
Secretary Howard “Bo”
Callaway and his wife, who
were riding a bus which collided
with a pulpwood truck near
Hamilton Friday. Both drivers
were killed in the mishap.

Governors having
energy word war
NEW ORLEANS (UPI) - A
wordy war between the states
over the best way to deal with
the national energy crunch was
the among the last items on the
agenda at the closing session of
the National Governor’s Con
ference.
One bloc of governors was
favoring increased development
of more energy sources, espe
cially offshore and Alaskan oil.
Another group was stressing
stringent conservation meas
ures as a first step toward
reaching energy independence
in the United States.
The governors had a pile of
policy resolutions to deal with
before adjourning today, but
energy was the main topic.
Three hurt
in wreck
Three people were injured in
a wreck about 7 o’clock last
night on Vineyard road at Ga. 3.
According to the Griffin Post
of the Georgia State Patrol,
Danny Timothy Harwell, 22, of
Breman, was driving at a high
rate of speed when he crossed
the railroad tracks at Vineyard
road. His car crossed Ga. 3 in
the air and was airborn for
some 82 feet. It bounced another
87 feet, then traveled an ad
ditional 105 feet before hitting a
tree. It also struck a fireplug,
troopers said.
Harwell was injured, along
with his passengers, Edward
English, 18, and Barbara
English, 15, both of Zebulon.
They were carried to the

Tuesday, after sending Con
gress a request that it give the
states a share of any new
gasoline tax increase, the
governors held a preview
debate on the energy issue.
The governors argued and
sidetracked a proposal by Gov.
James Rhodes, R-Ohio, to ask
the Federal Energy Research
and Development Administra
tion to increase its gas shale
program from $2.5 million to
SIOO million.
Rhodes’ resolution was nar
rowly drafted, but it opened a
much broader discussion.
Before finally delaying the
Rhodes measure for action in
the final session, the governors
agreed with Gov. William
Milliken, R-Mich., that the
resolution should include oil
shale as well as gas shale
research.
And when Gov. Reubin
Askew, D-Fla., asked if Rhodes’
proposal would take money
away from the solar energy
research his state is interested
in, the Ohioan said he favors
more research on all sources of
energy and would gladly “vote
for SIOO million for that too.”
Govs. Daniel Evans, R-Wash.,
and Philip Noel, D-R.1., warned
against rushing into action on
proposals that might conflict
with the action of the conferen
ce’s own natural resources
committee.

Fined for orchid assault
NEWTON ABBOT, England (UPI) - A judge fined
Graham Toghill $24 Tuesday for assaulting an orchid.
Toghill, 37, a businessman, had been taken to court by a
hotel owner who said he had badly damaged the flower, a
rare Cattleya Van Hotten variety.
The court was told that Toghill first touched the orchid
with his finger while leaving the hotel and then,
apparently not realizing its value, “screwed it up in his
hand.”
He offered the hotel owner, Georgina Haywood, $l2O to
pay for the damage. But she rejected his gesture and
called police instead.
“I didn’t mean any damage,” Toghill told the court
“Perhaps I picked up the orchid a bit heavy handedly.”
The judge agreed and fined him for causing willful
damage to the flower.
No link to JFK killing
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Rockefeller Commission
says it found “no credible evidence” the CIA was involved
in the assassination of President John Kennedy.
The commission reported Tuesday it assembled a new
panel of five experts to restudy motion pictures taken as
Kennedy was shot in Dallas on Nov. 22,1963.
The experts concluded separately and unanimously that
Kennedy was struck by only two bullets, both fired from
the rear, and that no medical evidence points to any other
shots.
