Escorted by motorcycle poli
ce, the crowd paraded orderly
through the streets, marching
from the state Capitol to City
Hall and then to the Equitable
Tower, where headquarters of
the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid
Transit System are located.
The workers stopped at City
Hall to protest the delay in
construction at Hartsfield Inter
national Airport. They blamed
the delay on disputes over a
controversial program proposed
by Mayor Maynard Jackson
designed to involve more blacks
in the airport expansion work.
The construction workers
wound up their protest by ]
marching to the regional j
headquarters of the U.S.
Department of Labor, where
the federal Wage Appeals
Board was holding a hearing on
wages to be paid construction
workers on three MARTA
projects.
The board was reconsidering
its earlier decision to let
MARTA pay workers on three
projects less than union scale.
Federal law allows the board
to fix minimum wages in
projects involving federal
funds, such as the MARTA
projects. But the law provides
that workers on such projects
be paid the prevailing wage for
similar work.
In the earlier ruling, the
board said three MARTA
projects were comparable to
I bridge and highway construc
i tion work rather than water
I and sewer projects, which
i meant generally lower mini
> mum wages for the workers
j involved.

Dominick sees cure
DENVER (UPI) - Peter H. Dominick, former U.S.
Ambassador to Switzerland, says he’s been to 13 doctors
in the past two years, but they have been unable to
diagnose his ailment.
The former Colorado senator has complained of back
problems for years and says he sometimes slurs his words
and stumbles while walking.
So Dominick, who resigned his diplomatic post earlier
this year, has put his hopes for a cure on a small, black
box emblazoned with flashing, multicolored lights. He
bought two of the boxes for $250 each.
“When the doctors say they don’t know what the answer
is and the good Lord is busy, you might as well try one of
these,” Dominick said, referring to the plate-sized,
electromagnetic discs.”
Astros go fishing
SOCHI, USSR (UPI) — The Apollo astronauts went
fishing in a frigid Siberian river Tuesday, then flew 2,000
miles to this Black Sea resort where they found the
temperatures in the 80s.
“TTiis was the best moment since I got here,” Donald K.
Slayton told fellow astronaut Thomas P. Stafford after
their morning fishing expedition outside Novosibirsk in
western Siberia.
The pair later joined astronaut Vance D. Brand and the
two Soviet cosmonauts with whom they carried out a joint
Apollo-Soyuz space docking mission in July, Valeri N.
Kubasov and Alexei Leonov, for the flight to Sochi.
Apollo commander Stafford reeled in six fish and
Slayton got 13.
But in Sochi, one of the Soviet Union’s most popular
summer resorts, the temperature was at 82 degrees when
the group arrived at dusk.
Glenn Ford testifies
LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Actor Glenn Ford delivered
the kind of line he often speaks in movie portrayals of soft
spoken, but resolute westerners: “I hate to call anybody a
liar, but that’s not true.”
Ford was not before the cameras Tuesday, but on the
witness stand in Superior Court, testifying against two
men charged with fraud in promoting a nationwide chain
of 200 movie theaters.
Ford testified that he agreed to serve as an adviser to
the chain because the theaters were to show only family
type movies — “a good concept to my way of thinking.”
But although he resigned from the advisory panel because
he thought the chain’s advertising was misleading, the
promoters continued to identify him as a sponsor, Ford
said.
Debbie Reynolds gave similar testimony last week.
Asked whether he and Miss Reynolds ever drew up a list
of films for the theaters to show, as the defendants
claimed, he replied “I hate to call anybody a liar, but
that’s not true.”
