Man indicted
in alleged
computer theft
ATLANTA (UPI) - Fred
Arthur Heath, 35 of Atlanta,
was indicted Friday for alleged
ly embezzling $190,500 from the
Electrolux Corp, in Sandy
Springs while he was payroll
supervisor for the firm.
The Fulton County Grand
Jury indicted Heath, who had
been working for Electrolux for
18 years, on one count of theft
by taking.
Heath allegedly typed in
numbers on adding machine
tapes that inflated the payrolls
about $15,000 a month. One
month $19,000 was missing.
Fulton County Dist Atty.

Cab drivers warned
about auto insurance
ATLANTA (UPI) - A
spokesman for the state De
partment of Public Safety said
Friday that taxicab drivers who
think that they can just
proclaim that they are self
insured without registering that
way with the state will be in for
a big surprise, if they are ever
stopped by a state patrol
trooper.
Herschel Clark, administra
tive assistant to the Public
Safety Commissioner, said if a
state patrol trooper stops a cab
driver without insurance “a
ticket will be issued just like
with anyone else.”
He said many cabbies think
that they can just say they are
self insured because of a fund
the company they work under
might have set up.
Clark said that many of the
cab drivers own the cars they
operate, but they work under
the name of a large company.
Each driver puts in dues to
cover the costs of an accident
by any of the drivers.

ATHENS, Ga. (UPI) -

he took in a bank hold up here
for 11 minutes Friday before

said Moses was found hiding in
the trunk of a car at a nearby
supermarket parking lot after
he walked into a branch of

CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind. (UPI) — Gov. Otis Bowen

| Extensions unlikely
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) — Russell Train, the
g Environmental Protection Agency director, says he
doubts car makers will be granted further extensions for
complying with federal pollution control standards.
At the end of a midwest tour including a luncheon with
Kansas Gov. Robert Bennett, Train said Friday the five
g year extension recently granted auto makers was the
> result of the Ford administration’s campaign for energy
■: conservation. ig
“Any further extensions are most unlikely,” Train said.
! “The American automobile industry has some very
: severe problems, largely of their own making. They are
• committed to a size of automobile that the American
; people don’t want any more.”
; Petrillo honored
CHICAGO (UPI) — Labor Leader James Petrillo has
his very own music shell named for him. ig
The Chicago Park District Board Friday voted on the
name change for the Grant Park facility.
Petrillo is currently president emeritus of the National
and Chicago Federaion of Musicians.
Officials said they decided to give Petrillo’s name to the
bandstand because he has helped raise money to hold
concerts in the park in Chicago’s Loop.
“We want to recognize his great contribution in bringing
music to Grant Park and in elevating the importance of
music throughout the world,” said Patrick O’Malley, park
:• board president. .

| Susan keeps ’em hopping
DURHAM, N.C. (UPI) — Susan Ford kept her Secret
Service entourage scurrying across the infield of Duke
g University’s Wallace Wade Stadium Friday as she shot
pictures of women’s events in the USA-Pan Africa-West
g Germany triangular track meet.
Miss Ford, daughter of the President, is spending the
summer as an intern with a Kansas newspaper and was on
assignment with her boss for Time Magazine.
Wearing a white ribbon to hold her blonde hair out of the
g way, Miss Ford kept the Secret Service agents hopping by
g taking off across the field when their backs were turned to
get pictures of the women athletes in action. She deputized
one of the agents to carry her film supplies.
Miss Ford, who wore red slacks and a blue and white
striped blouse, declined to be interviewed and left the
track before the meet ended for the day.

His pockets had been turned
