Doraville man
in Miss, trial
MERIDIAN, Miss. (UPI) -
Theo Donald McDaniel of
Doraville, Ga., and two other
persons were arrested in 1973
after guns, ski masks and other
items were found in their red
pickup truck, a highway patrol
man testified Tuesday.
Patrolman Michael Shelton
told the court that he stopped
the pickup truck near Brooks
ville in Noxubee County on
Nov. 8, 1973, because it had an
outdated Alabama license plate.
He said the truck was driven
by Billy Ray Dawson of
Leighton, Ala. McDaniel and
Joseph Anthony Jones of
Leighton were passengers.
Shelton said after he and a
town marshal followed the
truck to a service station for
Dawson to make a telephone
call they saw the butt of a

pistol protruding from some
clothing on the seat. He said a
search of the truck disclosed
two other pistols, a sawed-off
shotgun, rifle, ski masks,
coveralls, pillow cases, gloves
and a pair of boots — all of
which were offered as evidence.
The testimony came at the
trial of McDaniel on charges of
violating the National Firearms
Act and conspiracy to rob a
bank opened in federal court.
Other witnesses during the
opening day of the trial were
Noxubee County Sheriff Cecil
Russell, who said he helped in
the investigation, federal fire
arms agent James B. Roberts
and an official of a branch
bank in Brooksville,
Dawson and Michael David
Sotola of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.,
changed their pleas to guilty
before the trial began.
McDaniel, Dawson and Sotola
were tried on the same charges
last November in federal court
in Hattiesburg but were
released on bond after the jury
was unable to reach a verdict
and a mistrial was declared.
Jones, who was also tried last
fall, was killed in December
during an exchange of gunfire
with a deputy sheriff in Rabun
County, Ga.
Prior to the opening of the
trials here Tuesday, Dawson
pleaded guilty to two federal
counts in Mississippi charging
him with conspiracy to rob a
bank and interstate transporta
tion of unregistered firearms.
He also pleaded guilty to a
two-count indictment from
Tennessee accusing him of
robbery of the Union Bank of
McEwen, Tenn, and use of
firearms to commit a felony.

CIA money hidden
in Air Force budget
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Somewhere in the $2,010,400,000
set aside for “other procure
ment, Air Force” in the fiscal
1976 appropriations bill are the
operating funds for the Central
Intelligence Agency.
Rep. Robert Giaimo, D-Conn.,
Tuesday used the word “con
cealed” to describe the location
of some of America’s spy
expenditures. He wants the CIA
budget total to be public.
Rep. Jack Kemp, R-N.Y.,
used the word “classified.” He
says releasing that figure would
help the enemies of the United
States.
Both agree that if the House
votes today to reveal that
appropriation, further probes
are possible.
This is expected to be the
major disagreement in the
debate over the sll2 billion
Pentagon money bill for the 15
months ending Sept. 30, 1976,
although there also is conten
tion over the Navy’s $132.7
million request for the FlB jet
fieghter plane.
The ClA’s budget and
the figures are hidden in the
accountings of other agencies
have always been secret,
known to a few select commit
tee members in both houses.
The precedent was broken
this year when the House
Appropriations Committee said
the spy funds were in the
Pentagon appropriations bill.
What’s more, the committee
report said $344.2 million had

Another slump
on the way?
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Even as the recession is
coming to an end, Congress’ Joint Economic Committee
today foresaw ‘‘ominous signs on the horizon that a new
recession could be in the making” and called for a big tax
cut to head it off.
In its annual midyear review of the economy, the
committee not only advocated continuation of the $25
billion worth of personal and business tax cuts enacted
last March to stimulate the economy, but proposed an
additional cut of $8 billion to $lO billion for businesses and
their employes.
Its recommendation came as President Ford prepared
to decide this weekend whether to ask Congress to extend
the 1975 cuts for another year. Treasury Secretary
William E. Simon opposes an extension as potentially
inflationary, but Labor Secretary John T. Dunlop told
Congress he favored making the tax cut permanent “to
maintain demand and increase employment.”
“There are ominous signs on the horizon that a new
recession could be in the making for late next year or
early in 1977,” the report said. “Swift and decisive actions
are required both to sustain the recovery through 1976 and
to cope with continuing inflationary pressures.
Republicans on the committee expressed misgivings
about the Democratic majority’s proposal.
“Whether the quickening recovery will falter in mid
stream is a legitimate concern,” the Republicans said,
“but the danger of excessive stimulation and the
consequent boom-and-bust cycle is grim enough to
warrant extreme caution in considering supplementary
economic programs.”

budget and that a secret letter
went to the various spy
agencies with spending recom

“I’m telling you today that
the funds for the Central
Intelligence Agency are con

...” Giaimo told the House
Tuesday. “We will retain in this
bill the exact funds the
committee voted for the CIA.”
The amount will not include
money for other intelligence
agencies. These, Giaimo said,
are tucked away elsewhere.
