Maria Peron fights
for political life
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
iUPI) — President Maria
Estela (Isabel) Peron fought
for her political life today,
weakened by the ouster of her
top aide and an ultimatum
from organized labor.
The virtual exile of rightrwing
strongman Jose Lopez Rega
left Mrs. Peron on her own at
the most critical moment since
she took office a year ago.
The 44-year-old widow, the
world’s first woman president,
was expected to bow to the
demands of organized labor and
dismiss five other top aides.

Country music singer
Frizzell is buried
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UPI) -
Lefty Frizzell, whose nasal
twang songs were familiar to
country music fans the world
over in the 1950 s and early
19605, was eulogized Sunday as
the most copied country enter
tainer ever.
Frizzell, 47, died late Satur
day night after suffering what
was described as a massive
stroke. Services will be held 2
p.m. Tuesday at the Cole &
Garrett Funeral Home in the
Nashville suburb of Goodletts
ville. Burial will be in Forest
I .awn Cemetery.
Most of the big names in
country music are expected to
attend the services, said Rusty
Adams, a business associate of
Frizzell.
Adams said Frizzell had been
in good health until he suffered
the stroke Saturday morning.
He died at Nashville Memorial
Hospital.
“He was looking forward to
starting work on a movie Aug.
1 in Kanab, Utah. It was an
acting part and no singing. It
was a comedy called ‘The
Ballad of Billy Bugle,’” Adams
said.
In 1952 Frizzell had four
and a voice in shaping the
nation’s economic policy.
The labor organization also
warned Mrs. Peron against
cutting salaries to deal with
Argentina’s $6.6 billion budget
deficit and soaring 110 per cent
annual inflation.
songs in the top 10 on the
country charts — ’’Always
Late,” “Mom and Dad Waltz,”
“I Love You in a Thousand
Ways,” and “Travelin’ Blues.”
Both sides of his first record
in 1950 were No. 1 songs — ”If
You’ve Got the Money, Honey,
I’ve Got the Time” and “I Love
You in a Thousand Ways.”
Adams said Frizzell’s family
had received numerous calls
from country music stars from
across the nation. He men
tioned Merle Haggard, George
Jones, Faron Young, Johnny
Cash, Porter Wagoner, Webb
Pierce, Carl Smith, Little
Jimmy Dickens and Grandpa
Jones.
Adams said Frizzell helped
and influenced the careers of
many artists including Hag
gard, Fredie Hart and Merle
Kilgore.
“He was the most copied
artist ever. He was a terrific
person. He loved it,” Adams
said. “He was very humble.”
He said Frizzell wrote most
of his material along with his
friend and co-writer Whitey
Schaffer. “They liked to write
songs riding the car in the
country.”
In the early 50s Frizell and
the legendary Hank Williams
were unquestionably at the top
of the country music field.
Frizzell, who was less active
in recent years, had begun
making personal appearances
only about four days a month,
Adams said. He has a new
album to be released soon.
William Orville Frizzell was
born in Corsicana, Texas on
March 31, 1928 and grew up in
the oil fields of Texas and
Oklahoma where his father was
a driller.
The nickname “Lefty” was
reportedly given him for his
prowess in boxing. Frizzell
moved here permanently in
August of 1962. He had
formerly lived in Northridge,
Calif.
Survivors include his widow,
Alice, three sons and a
daughter.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - President Ford relaxed at

celebrities in Washington, Ford was meeting today with
tennis stars Billie Jean King and Arthur Ashe, the singles

i Pilots settle dispute
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UPI) — Northwest Airline

progress in contract talks.

=: recent hostilities with Greece.
“The purpose of the Aegean army is to defend our
national security,” Defense Minister Ferit Melen said
■: Sunday.

which lies on the other side of the sea.
The announcement marked the first anniversary of the

Sentenced in fake death
LONDON (UPI) — Member of Parliament John
Stonehouse was ordered jailed on 21 charges of fraud,
conspiracy, theft and forgery in connection with his
attempt to get away from business pressures by faking his
own death.
The former minister of aviation listened impassively
Saturday as Magistrate Evelyn Russell denied him bail.
Stonehouse faked his own drowning at Miami Beach
Fla., Nov. 20, and lived in Australia for 34 days under the
borrowed identity of “John Markham,” a dead man.
Stonehouse, accused of defrauding a number of compa
nies of $310,000, told Prime Minister Harold Wilson in a
cable he wanted to escape business pressures and start a
new life.
i Lockheed sued
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Information disclosed by
: Lockheed Aircraft Corp, shows it is being sued for $2.5
: billion because of a cargo jet crash that killed more than
100 Vietnamese orphans in April.
Documents filed Saturday with the Securities and Ex
change Commission described five damage suits filed in
; May and June in California, Illinois, New York and
Washington, D.C.
The CSA cargo jet was one of five being used to evacuate
2,000 orphans for adoption by U.S. families in the final
days before the Communist takeover in South Vietnam.
The actual amount is probably substantially less,
Lockheed said, “since plaintiffs in each of the class
actions purport to represent all others.”
The plaintiffs were not listed, but it was assumed most
were adoptive parents of the dead or injured children.
= Sen Fong: no danger
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen. Hiram Fong, R-Hawaii,
said security checks of Indochinese refugees have not
uncovered immigrants who are security risks to the
United States.
Fong, noting the investigations have not found anyone
guilty of running “tiger cages,” of misappropriating U.S.
funds or other crimes, called for stepped-up efforts to
finds homes and jobs for the refugees.
“By now security clearances are, for all practical
purposes, behind us,” Fong said Saturday. “The results of
these clearances should amply demonstrate to the public
that these Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees are no
danger to this country or its people ...

ELECTRICITY AND
THE CONSUMER
Straight Talk by I f v
Bob Scherer
President,
Georgia Power Company
These days we hear much talk about
“the consumer.” Sometimes it seems “the
consumer” has just been discovered.
Since Georgia Power Company was
formed in the late 1920’5, our only reason
for being in business has been to serve
that "consumer,” or customer.
In our early years, it was easier to
provide for our customers’ electrical
needs than it is now. We were in an
expanding economy, able easily to borrow
money and achieve earnings necessary to
finance the ever-increasing needs of a
growing Georgia. For example, it took
until 1964 to reach an investment of
$1 billion in electrical plant to serve our
customers. In just 10 more years, that
investment increased by more than two
and a half times to reach $3.7 billion in
1974. During this period we decreased
our rates 16 consecutive times. Unfor
tunately, those days of decreases are over.
Since 1971, we’ve had to request annual
rate relief to help us meet your future
electrical demands.
All this means is that we, like you,
are facing the problems of inflation, reces
sion and rising costs of doing business.
It’s tougher to provide you with
electric service today. But as the new
president of Georgia Power Company,
I want you to know that our newly
organized management team is taking a
positive view of the future. We are looking
at every way we can to reduce costs while
maintaining the level of service you, our
customers, deserve.
I would welcome your suggestions
about how we can better provide for your
present and future electrical needs.
