BOONE, lA—Ruth Nieman, Moingena, la., a member of a corn de-tasseling crew, keeps
her eye on a row of lowa corn near here while checking for any tassels that need to be
removed to prevent cross-pollination. Most corn is detasseled by machine, but manual
labor is still needed to detassel what the machinery misses. lowa farmers are hoping for
rain within 4 to 5 days or threatened drought damage to corn may become a reality.
Hot winds, high temperatures and lack of recent rain have corn belt farmers worried.

Serious crime
rises sharply
By ED ROGERS
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Seri
ous crime rose sharply in the
Drought threat
first three months of this year
and part of the reason,
according to Attorney General
Edward Levi, is the number of
repeat offenders on the streets.
In releasing the latest FBI
crime statistics Monday, Levi
said they were a “terrifying
fact of life.”
Serious crime was 18 per cent
higher in the first quarter this
year than in the same period
last year, when there was a 15
per cent increase over the 1973
reporting period.
For some crimes the in
creases were larger. Robbery
was up 28 per cent and
burglary up 20 per cent.
Preliminary figures for all of
1974, released at the same time,
rose 17 per cent over 1973.
Levi called the crime rate
increase “one of the terrifying
facts of life which we have
come to accept as normal and
which we must not accept as
normal.
”... Apparently, law enforce
ment is solving only about one
of five known serious crimes,”
he said. “But of even greater
concern is the downgrading of
charges of felonies to mis
demeanors at the prosecution
stage regardless of the defen
dant’s past criminal record.”
He said about two-thirds of
all persons arrested are repeat
ers and it is important that
such offenders be identified as
career criminals.
For the first quarter of this
year compared to a year
earlier, crime in rural areas
was 21 per cent higher,
suburban areas 19 per cent and
cities with populations of
100,000 or more 17 per cent, the
report said.
By geographic areas,
northeastern states reported a
21 per cent increase, southern
states 20 per cent, north central
17 per cent and western states
13 per cent.
The report said that while the
crimes of murder, forcible
rape, robbery and aggravated
assault rose 18 per cent as a
group over the year before,
robbery itself was 28 per cent
higher for the three-month
period.
Aggravated assault was up 10
per cent, murder 7 per cent and
forcible rape 4 per cent.

To discuss fuel
CLAXTON, Ga. (UPI) — Gov. George Busbee said
Monday he will go to Washington next week to meet with
Secretary of Transportation William Coleman “to discuss
our motor fuel crisis.”
“I feel that state governments should have the right to
preempt up to three cents of the federal gas tax and to
have the money go directly to the state, thereby
increasing our revenue at no additional cost to the
taxpayers,” he said.
The motor fuel tax revenues have slumped so badly
since the energy crisis that the state Department of
Transportation recently predicted that unless something
changes, the state will not have enough money to even
repair existing roads by 1978.
Busbee said he will also testify before Congress on the
discriminatory formula in which the Environmental Pro
tection Agency distributes its’ water and sewage facility
grants.
Busbee said Georgia is being shortchanged out of $Bl
million because of the formula, which favors states like
New York and California.
Busbee made the remarks to the Claxton-Evans County
Chamber of Commerce. He told the group that 32 states,
including all the southern states, lose money under the
present formula.
Puts aside plans
ATLANTA (UPI) — For the time being, Trust Company
of Georgia is putting aside its plans to acquire the
outstanding minority shares in five affiliate banks around
the state.
Board chairman A.H. Sterne said Monday that slowness
of response in getting the required approval of bank
regulatory agencies was the primary reason for not going
ahead with the plan at this time.
“We believe this exchange would represent a mutually
desirable goal and one to be sought when circumstances
may better accomodate such a transaction.”
The proposal has already been approved by the 700
minority stockholders of the five banks — Trust Company
Bank of Savannah, First National Bank and Trust of
Augusta, First National Bank of Rome, National Bank
and Trust of Columbus and First National Bank and Trust
of Macon.
Trust Company of Georgia owns from 70 to 87 per cent of
the five banks.
Welcome Centers
ATLANTA (UPI) — The Board of Community Develop
ment, anticipating another state revenue shortage, cut the
budget for the state’s welcome centers by about 25 per
cent Monday.
Roy Burson, head of the department’s tourism division,
said the board didn’t want to make cuts at the last minute
to the budgets of the welcome centers, which received up
to $5,000 each in grants.
“If we have the money in January, he said, “we will
give them the full grants.”
By January, the legislature should know whether it will
have to cut the budget again as they were forced to do
recently in a special session. Burson told the board he
understood state revenues once again were not coming up
to expectations.
He said the move was for the protection of the
department and could prevent more serious cuts at
welcome centers in the future.

‘No-smell’
underwear
DETROIT (UPI) — There’s a
new development in underwear
which may help to dispel
domestic discord around the
house.
At least that’s the word from
Bert Trebach, chief of market
ing for a firm that has come
out with deodorized underwear.
His company, Sanitized Sales
Co. of America Inc., of New
York, has come out with a
whole line of “no-smell”
underwear for men, including
socks, shorts and T-shirts. At
this point, there’s no such line
for women.
“The socks really even
amaze me,” Trebach said
Monday. “I know that without
them whenever I took my shoes
off at home, my wife would
say, ‘Get those socks out of the
room.’”
He says wearing the deodo
rized socks has ended that kind
of talk around his house.
The underwear, available at
a Detroit-area department store
chain, is treated with a secret
deodorant formula during the
manufacturing process.
Trebach said the deodorant
continues to fight odor for up to
50 machine washings.
Trebach thinks there’s a good
future for the deodorized items.
