Lawmakers cut
their week short
ATLANTA (UPI) - Georgia
lawmakers cut their work week
short today so House and
Senate conferees can huddle
over the record 11.92 billion
state budget through the
weekend.
The budget, which cleared
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee Tuesday, was the main
item of business on the Senate
floor this morning, with the
leadership changing the rules
so it could be quickly approved
and shoved into the joint
conference committee for the
compromising to start.
Assuming a compromise
emerges from the six-man
committee by Sunday, the
House and Senate plan to
reconvene Monday and again
recess for one day Tuesday,
then resume floor work to pass
the record state budget and
adjourn the 1976 session on time
next Friday.
The Senate approved a
constitutional amendment
Wednesday which would pre
scribe uniform 45-day legisla
tive sessions every year, rather
than meeting 45 days in even
numbered years and 40 days in
election years. The proposal
would also provide for two
budget recesses during the
term, rather than the one break
the legislators now schedule
each year.
The alternating 40-and 45-day
sessions, with a two-week break
for budget work in committee,
are mandated by the 1945 State
Constitution.
“When the constitution was
adopted, we had an appropria
tions bill of SIOO million,” said
Sen. Paul Broun, D-Athens, the
chairman of the Senate’s
budget committee. “This year,
we’re dealing with an ap
propriations bill of nearly $2
billion and we need more time
in the committee.”
The $1.92 billion bill pending
before the Senate this week
includes two key differences
between House and Senate
approaches to state spending
priorities.
The House voted to spend $2.5
million on a health insurance
plan for public school em
ployes, which the Senate
committee switched to all state
employes rather than teachers.
In the other major change, the
Senate committee dropped the
Newton
sheriff
dead at 59
COVINGTON, Ga. (UPI) -
Veteran Sheriff W. Henry
Odum Jr. of Newton County,
who earned a reputation as a
tough, colorful law enforcement
officer, died Wednesday follow
ing a heart attack.
Odum, 59, died in an Atlanta
hospital.
He had been preparing to
announce for his fourth term in
the post to which he was
elected in 1965 after serving as
deputy. Longtime friend J. C.
Harwell said Odum would be
buried today in the 10-gallon
hat and cowboy boots which he
always wore on duty.
Odum was described by an
FBI agent who knew him as an
officer who “never backed up
from anything that he consid
ered a threat to his county. The
tough criminals learned to give
Newton County a wide berth.”
Survivors include his widow,
Mrs. Eloise Luke Odum; two
sons, Luke Odum of Covington
and W. H. Odum 111 of
Alexandria, Va.; a daughter,
Mrs. Mary Jane Arrington of
Conyers, and four sisters and
four grandchildren.
An interim sheriff was
expected to be named as his
successor until a special
election is held.
EMPTY WELL
SILSBEE, Tex. (UPI) - One
of less attractive aspects of
having an oil well in your
backyard is what may happen
to it when its pumped out
In 1929 a pumped out multi
million dollar field in Hardin
County began caving in. In two
days the land had dropped
more than 100 feet and the area
eventually became a lake.
181! tiff'
House plan for minimum 4 per
cent pay raises, ranging from
S4OO to SBOO per employe, and
approved a flat $450 pay raise
for every employe, regardless
of current salary scale.
In other legislative action, a
bill to let cities and counties set
up homesteading programs for
housing repossessed by federal
lending agencies was approved
by the House, 139-23, after
spirited debate.
Most of the homes had
federally guaranteed loans on
which the government had to
foreclose when owners were
unable to keep up the pay
ments. To qualify for homes
teading, applicants would have
to be at least 18 years old, have
the resources to rehabilitate the
homes and must live in them
three years before becoming
owners.
Earlier, the House passed a
bill to end government price
fixing on cigarettes and cigars.
Rep. Billy Evans, D-Macon, the
sponsor, said his measure
would bring down prices by
restoring competition but oppo-

With
the
legislature
nents said small grocers and
gasoline dealers would be hurt.
The bill repeals a law
forbidding distributors and
dealers to sell cigarettes and
cigars below a price set by the
state revenue commissioner.
Also, the Senate voted to
tighten up the state’s campaign,
spending laws Senators took
three issues of political
morality, setting forth a code of
ethics for public officials,
precisely forbidding any
padding of travel expense
accounts and requiring local
reporting of campaign finances
of city and county officials.
The ban on false expense
accounts was introduced by
Sen. Peter Banks, D-Barnesvil
le, a member of the judiciary
committee which organized the
censure of Sen. Roscoe Dean,
D-Jesup, for his travel reim
bursement claims.
Banks said his bill, spelling
out that public officers must
personally travel every mile
they collect a dime for, will
make it clear to jurors in any
future case.
Judge angry in Good case
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UPI)
— An angry federal judge has
denied a request by Manson
cultist Sandra Good that death
threat charges against her be
dismissed and criticized a
Supreme Court decision that
allows defendants to act as
their own lawyers.
U.S. District Court Judge
Thomas J. Macßride Wednes

argument that prosecutors, in
an effort to prejudice her case,

the conviction of her former
roommate, would-be presiden
tial assassin Lynette Fromme.
The judge also completed
pretrial hearings and said jury
selection in the case will begin
Monday. He scheduled opening
arguments for March 9.
Miss Good, 31, who is acting
as her own attorney, is charged
with conspiring to mail death
threats to 171 corporate execu
tives and government officials
and of threatening violence in
telephone conversations with
reporters.
