Hughes.
The 14-passenger Jet Star
planes are owned by Summa
Corp., a branch company of the
Hughes financial empire, and
have been parked at Lockheed-
Georgia’s big plant here under
armed guard. The planes
reportedly have not been used
since they were test flown.
Cobb tax records show the
planes have depreciated
$700,000 in value since 1970 and
taxes have amounted to $250,000
in those years.
The Jet Stars were listed in
the Hughes Tool Co. name from
1970 to 1973, then Summa was
named as the owner. The 1975
taxes will amount to $38,000.

Students
to check
on solons
CEDARTOWN, Ga. (UPI) -
The 1976 General Assembly will
be under the scrutiny of a
group of high school students.
Principal David Rose of
Cedartown High said today that
15 students will take part in a
pilot social science course
whereby they will spend up to
60 per cent of their school time
in Atlanta observing the legisla
ture in session.
Rose said he believed the
course, which will be worth 20
hours, is the first of its kind in
the state. He said it would give
the students a chance to
“actually get involved and
increase their knowledge about
legislative government func
tions.”
Christians, Moslems
shrug off new truce
By MICHAEL KEATS
BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI) -
Christian and Moslem gunmen
battling from seafront hotel
strongholds today shrugged off
a newly arranged truce — the
14th in three months — with a
thundering barrage of rockets,
bombs and rifle fire.
Premier Rashid Karami an
nounced the surprise truce
Wednesday, saying it would
begin in stages at 10 p.m. and
take effect two hours later.
But the midnight deadline
passed with leftist Moslems and
right-wing Christians battling
from their seafront strongholds
— scene of the worst fighting in
Lebanon’s eight-month civil
war.
At least 250 persons have
been killed and 600 wounded in
three days of nonstop street
fighting. The latest casualties
brought the total death toll
since April to nearly 5,000, with
11,000 persons injured.
One gunman, asked what
would follow the new cease-fire,
said, “More fighting — what
else?”
By 9 a.m., however, shooting
had dropped to sniper fire and
occasional machinegun out
bursts.
Early risers in Ain Mreiseh,
about 300 yards from the
American embassy, gawked at
leftist gunmen parading an
armored car seized from the
army during the fighting. The
gunmen said it was one of two
captured Wednesday.
Karami’s announcement fol
lowed a meeting of the
Coordination Committee, com
posed of representatives of all
political factions but boycotted
by the main leftist parties.
The prime minister said all
parties had agreed to the cease
fire and that suspects in a
spate of killings last weekend

authorities.
The leftists refused to com
ment on the truce, saying they
knew nothing about it “because
we are boycotting the Coordina
tion Committee meeting until
the criminals are handed
over.”
The Christians said they
would abide by the agreement,
on condition it was obeyed by
“the other side.”
Meanwhile, the 18,000 man
Lebanese army, trying to
establish a buffer zone between
the warring factions, con
solidated their positions in the
Holiday Inn and the Phoenicia
Hotel, both supposedly deserted
by rightists.
Leftists claimed the Chris
tian-led army and rightists
have joined forces in the two
buildings, but reporters could
not get close enough to either
building to check the charge.
Leftists also blamed the army
for lobbing an incendiary bomb
into the 40-year-old St. Georges
Hotel, forcing them to quit the
stronghold they occupied Tues
day.
Fire gutted the international
ly known seaside hotel and also
chased leftists out of the nearby

Judge won’t lift
Henry suspension
MCDONOUGH, Ga. (UPI) -
U.S. District Court Judge
Newell Edenfield has refused to
lift the suspension imposed on a
Henry County High Scool
cheerleader who refused to
allow school authorities to
search her for weapons.
Joi Fuss, claiming her
constitutional rights were vi
olated in a Dec. 3 search of the
school’s 600 students, filed suit
Tuesday against principal Ran
dall Ponder, who ordered the
search, and Henry County
School Supt. Howard Baker.
“I feel that it violated my
rights,” Miss Fuss told Eden
field Wednesday. “It was the
principle of the whole thing. All
— Griffin Daily News Thursday, December 11,1975
people are supposed to have
rights.”
Edenfield refused to grant a
temporary restraining order
that would have forced school
officials to allow Miss Fuss to
return to school.
The principal ordered the
search, which resulted in
confiscation of 35 weapons,
after hearing reports that a riot
would be staged. Miss Fuss,
who was given a five-day
suspension by the school
disciplinary committee, was
one of two students who refused
to be searched. Thirty-four
students were suspended from
one to five days for “carrying
weapons,” and one student was
suspended for the remainder of
the year.
Edenfield said there “were
circumstances justifying the
search” and constitutional
rights were not at stake.
“There was a box full of
weapons,” he said. “Any one of
them could have been used to
kill this little girl.
“As the law is, the school
board and the school people,
while the child is in the school,
stand in the place of the
parents and have the rights to
discipline to run the school.
The suit asks SI,OOO in actual
damages to Miss Fuss’s career
and business expectations and
SIO,OOO in punitive damages.
