Judge Stevens
clears hurdle
WASHINGTON (UPI) - U.S.
Appeals Court Judge John Paul
Stevens has cleared the first
hurdle to approval as an
associate Supreme Court jus
tice.
Stevens, 55, was unanimously
approved Thursday by the
Senate Judiciary Committee.
His confirmation by the full
Senate is expected Monday.
Stevens, nominated by Presi
dent Ford to fill the seat of
retired Justice William 0.
Douglas, completed two days of
committee hearings earlier this
week without encountering seri
ous opposition.
The committee voted IM to
recommend confirmation.
Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., a
candidate for his party’s
presidential nomination, voted
for Stevens but indicated he
disagreed strongly with the
Chicago judge’s opinions on
women’s rights issues.
“His views...on equal justice
for women do not demonstrate
the type of empathy and

concern that I would prefer in a
Supreme Court justice,” Bayh
said. “If the choice had been
mine, Judge Stevens would not
have been the nominee.”
Bayh said he voted for
Stevens because of his “intel
lectual abilities” and integrity
and because he felt the judge’s
views on women’s rights were
not “of such magnitude to deny
him confirmation.”
Reporter
arrested
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) -
Augusta Herald reporter Mar
garet Twigg has been arrested
on charges of smoking a
cigarette in a public building
Mrs. Twigg turned herself
into authorities Thursday after
Richmond County Commission
er Norman Simowitz swore out
a warrant for her arrest
Wednesday, charging she was
smoking during a Dec. 2
meeting of the commissioners.
Under a new state law
smoking in a public building
where “no smoking” signs are
posted is a misdemeanor.
Simowitz, who said he was a
chain smoker, said Mrs. Twigg
was smoking two feet away
from a no smoking sign during
a pre-meeting session of the
board in the commissioner’s
conference room in the munici
pal building.
But Mrs. Twigg, a Herald
reporter for 25 years, said there
is "some question as to whether
it (the conference room) is a
public place.”

Fiscal woes sidetrack
Busbee’s budget study
By WILLIAM COTTERELL
ATLANTA (UPI) - Gov.
George Busbee says budget
woes during the current fiscal
year have sidetracked him
from drawing up blueprints for
the next state budget, but he
expects to have things back to
normal by Sunday.
Busbee told his weekly news
conference Thursday his fiscal
year 1977 budget plan may be
late because he has been
spending so much time on
finding ways to slash the
current year’s spending by $57
million.
“We’re working pretty much
‘round-the-clock on the budget,”
he said.
Busbee last week ordered all
state agencies to submit plans
to cut state spending by 3.5 per
cent. He said the department
heads “did a good job. There
may be some adjustments, and
I’m not prepared to say I can
rubber stamp them.”
Sluggish revenue growth dur
ing the first five months of the
fiscal year have caused Busbee
to make the cuts — the third
budget reduction this year.
The governor said he expects
to finish reviewing budget
cutting recommendations by
Saturday night, “and Sunday
we’ll be back on fiscal year
1977.”
Busbee said his new budget
will probably get to the House
and Senate appropriations com
mittees late this month. The
commitees begin joint budget
hearings Jan. 5.
Busbee said he hopes to have
his $57 million budget reduction
passed within the first two
weeks of the legislative session
and “that will determine the
funding level for the 1977
budget.”

Busbee said he is going ahead
with plans to trim 1,000 jobs
from the state payroll — even
if it means layoffs. But he said
most of the reductions for the
1977 fiscal year budget would
be accomplished through attri
tion.
"By July 1, we’re going to
have most of those positions
vacant,” he said. “I cannot
assure the people of this state
that no one will be fired. The
state has to operate as a
business.”
On other matters, Busbee
announced the state will re
ceive about $12.3 million from
the Law Enforcement Assist
ance Administration for distri
bution to state, county and city
police agencies.
He said the federal funding
would fall short of the the sl3
million state officials had
anticipated, requiring the State
Crime Commission to cut 5.2
per cent from its budget today
and Saturday.
Busbee also announced he is
asking the joint federal-state
Appalachian Regional Commis
sion to allocate more than $4
million for health and child
development in north Georgia.
He said he would ask the
commission to spend $4,004,658
