Carter
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (UPI) —
Former Rhode Island Gov.
Frank Licht has endorsed
Jimmy Carter for President
and plans to actively campaign
for the Georgia Democrat in
several states.
The two men have been
personal friends since the time
they both served as governors.
Licht Friday said he plans to
campaign for Carter in Rhode
Island and other states, includ
ing Florida.
He said Carter’s primary win
in New Hampshire this week
“is a tribute to his leadership
abilities and his ability to go all
the way to the Democratic
nomination for the presidency.”
The Carter organization said
the Providence campaign office
will serve as his New England
regional headquarters through
the June 1 Rhode Island
primary.
Probe
scheduled
ATLANTA (UPI) - State
Rep. Joe Frank Harris, chair
man of the House Appropria
tions Committee, says he will
appoint a subcommittee to
investigate a reported double
billing of state expense ac
counts by the dean of the
Georgia Medical College Nurs
ing School.
Harris, D-Cartersville, said
Thursday the subcommittee
will look into the expense
claims of Dr. Dorothy White as
well as “the process that
allowed this to happen.”
Dr. White, a member of the
board of examiners of nurses in
Georgia, reimbursed more than
SI,OOO to the Augusta school
after a state audit reportedly
disclosed more than 18 in
stances of double billing be
tween October, 1974, and May,
1975.
“Something is wrong with the
process that allows this to
happen,” Harris said. “This
case points out that it could be
happening in other agencies as
well.”
Gov. George Busbee Thurs
day called Dr. White a “most
capable administrator” but said
he could not “condone faulty
judgement on expense reporting
or excesses of any kind at
taxpayers expense.”

heard a “little girl crying hysterical

Other CB operators began monitoring
the channel and efforts were started to
try to find the “child” who was thought
to be stranded in an overturned car
somewhere in the Hickory Tree
community —a sparsely populated
farm area at the base of Holsten
Mountain five to ten miles south of
Bristol.
The highway patrol brought in a
helicopter to search for the child, while
more than 200 volunteers combed the
wooded areas.
Meanwhile, CB operators at the
Hickory Tree Volunteer Fire
Department maintained radio contact
with the voice.

Demonstrators
ATLANTA (UPI) - A group
of black demonstrators, led by
the Rev. Hosea Williams,
forced officials to postpone the
opening of bids Friday for the
$77 million Richard B. Russell
federal office building.
Williams, and about 25
demonstrators, chanting “all
we want is a piece of the pie”
pushed their way into the open
meeting at the General Ser
vices Administration building.
The group demanded that 20
per cent of the contracts for the
proposed 26-story building and
courthouse go to minority
contractors.
GSA officials first threatened
to have police clear the
building but later announced
the proceedings would be
indefinitely postponed and the
protestors peacefully left the
premises.

About 200 mostly-white con

could receive up to 35 years in
prison if convicted.
The trial of another man
charged in the case, larry
Shaffer, 34, of Chicago, is
expected to follow Methven’s.
The two men were arrested
about three weeks after the

bombs at oil company facilities
from Jacksonville, Fla. to
Chicago.

Leukemia
drive
in March
The Griffin-Spalding cam
paign for money with which to
fight leukemia will be held
during March, according to
Mrs. Loren Young, chairman of
the local drive.
“In the spirit of our bicen
tennial year, our goal is to
average 76 cents per house in
our door to door solicitations,”
Mrs. Young said.
“And we are hoping to receive
$76 dollars from many of our
professional and business
leaders,” she said.
Homer Sigman, Griffin auto
dealer, is business chairman.
The Georgia Chapter,
Leukemia Society of America,
estimated 20,000 volunteers
would help in the fund raising
campaign this year.
Leukemia is the number one
child killer in America yet it
attacks more adults than
children, officials of the
Georgia chapter pointed
out. “We must have the funds to
continue our research efforts
until a cure is found,” said
Robert Cousins, president of the
Georgia Chapter.
He said there are more than
300 patients on the patient-aid
rolls in the state. This covers
payment for outpatient ser
vices, drugs, transportation,
transfusing and other medical
care.
“Anyone in this state with
leukemia or an allied disease is
eligible for this outpatinet aid
and therefore, it is critical that
we dig deep and raise the
necessary funds,” Cousins said.
Bloodmobile
due Monday
Mrs. Mildred Holleman,
better known in Griffin as “Ma
Hanna,” reminded Griffinites
that the Red Cross Bloodmobile
will be here Monday.
Mrs. Holleman who works
with the Red Cross office in
Griffin, said the goal for the
visit is 250 pints of blood.
Headquarters will be at the
Cheatham building of First
Baptist Church. Donors may go
there 12:15-5:30 p.m.
