A.A. Crim
withdraws
ATLANTA (UPI) - Atlanta
School Superintendent Alonzo
A. Crim has withdrawn his
name from consideration for
the $56,000 administrative job in
Chicago.
Crim said he was “flattered”
to be among the five finalists
for the school superintendent’s
job in Chicago, but he felt “I
should remain here.”
Crim said he went to Chicago
to interview for the job since
that was his hometown and he
felt he should consider the
offer.
Prior to coming to Atlanta,
Crim served as superintendent
of the Compton, Calif, school
system for four years and
before that he was an area
superintendent in the Chicago
school system.
If Crim had gone to Chicago,
it would have meant a $16,000
raise and he would have been
in charge of some 540,000
students instead of the 85,000 he
now supervises.

Mr. Head said he did not think
it was asking too much to let

control. Other lounges sell
liquor; Holiday Inn is an asset
to Griffin, he noted.
Goldstein commented that he
did not see how their having a
pouring license could affect the
residents.
Norsworthy said there was no
way he would vote to change the
ordinance.
Commissioner Ernest
“Tiggy” Jones also said he was
against changing the ordinance,
that the city would be “laying
ourselves open for criticism”.
Commissioner Bunn asked if
the code is changed to
accommodate Holiday Inn,
what procedure would the city
have to rectify to others who
have been turned down.
The commissioners said they
would discuss the matter and
see what could be done.

climbed slowly out of a pit in
its concrete firing pad and rose
over the flat, hot expanse of the
Russian base that opened the
space age in 1957 with Sputnik.
The rocket’s engines, gulping
liquid oxygen and kerosene,
produced 1 million pounds of
thrust. Their combined red and
orange flame soon became all
that could be seen as the booster
accelerated in the clear sky.
The cosmonauts gave a
running technical commentary
in Russian of the launch phase.
“Very slight swinging,” Leo
nov said. “Pressure normal.
Everything is perfect. Little
overload (pull against gravity)
but it is possible to work under
these conditions.”
“One hundred and sixty
seconds and the sky is very,
very blue,” one of the pilots
said. “Saw little white snow
flakes.”
Ten minutes after launch,
Soyuz went into an orbit
ranging from 137 to 116 miles
high.
“The program of flight for
the first orbit has been
normal,” said Moscow control
as the 25-foot spaceship went
into its second 88-minute swing
around Earth. The basic
objective of the Apollo-Soyuz
mission is to demonstrate that
men of different nations, using
to accommodate five lanes in
front of Spalding Junior High
School. He noted there is a
bottleneck on school days with
cars attempting to make left
turns. He suggested a center
lane be added for turns only.
He also requested turn signs
be placed on Flint street, next to
Griffin Farm Equipment Co.
City Manager Roy Inman
announced he has been appoint
ed to the intergovernmental
relations committee of the
GMA.
The problem of children’s
stealing balls and disturbing
players at the City Golf Course
also was discussed.
The recreation board will be
asked to help with solutions.
The commissioners said the
city will continue to enforce the
ordinance requiring owners of
vacant lots to keep their
property clean.
They had received several
complaints which were discuss
ed this morning.
Commissioner Bunn
remarked it was a shame to see
an ill kept lot next to residences
with nice yards.

orbit. This could be used for
future rescue flights and more
ambitious cooperative ventures.
U. S. Ambassador Walter J.
Stoessel Jr., his wife and two
other Americans watched the
launch from the cosmodrome.
They were the first Westerners
to see a manned shot there.
President Ford watched the
shot on television with Russian
Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin
in a ceremony washed with
detente in Washington. The
ambassador then flew to
Florida to see the Apollo
blastoff.
Twice the 300 viewers in the
State Department auditorium
burst into applause during the
show from Russia and both
times it was the President, his
hands raised over his head and
clapping, who led the cheering.
“I am impressed,” Ford said.
“I am very impressed. I wish
them well.
“The launch marks the
beginning of a very epic
venture into space. It’s my
judgment that this joint space
mission is a truly historic
occasion. Never before have
representatives of two countries
lived and worked together in
space. They have a wonderful,
unique opportunity as a result.”
In Moscow, Secretary Leonid
Brezhnev wished the spacemen
a safe journey and a successful
accomplishment of the mission.
Aboard Soyuz 19 was a
United Nations flag the cos
monauts plan to give to the
Americans who will bring it
back to Earth for presentation
to the United Nations. Both
spaceships also carried seeds,
medallions and other gifts to be
exchanged.
The Apollo also had 8.7
ounces of gold and 4.5 ounces of
lead to be melted and mixed in
a special furnace in the Apollo.
Some of the resulting alloy will
be presented to the Russians.
On the American crew,
Stafford, 44, was making his
fourth spaceflight. But it was
the first for Brand, 44, and
Slayton, 51-year-old Mercury
pilot grounded for years by a
minor heart irregularity.
Leonov and Kubasov were
scheduled to parachute to a
landing on the Siberian plain
near Karaganda Monday. The
Apollo astronauts planned to
stay in orbit three additional
days to carry out experiments,
splashing down in the Pacific
Ocean July 24.
