afternoon without making head
way and has talks scheduled
today and Sunday. Busbee and
the legislative leadership want
the General Assembly to
adjourn its 40-day session next
Friday, and the budget is the
only piece of “must” legislation
still pending.
“I’ve been working on the
budget with the House and
Senate conferees,” Busbee said
• Friday night at the Democratic
1 Party’s Jefferson-Jackson Day
1 dinner. “They’re going to work
t all weekend. I’m hopeful that
> ’ they’ll be able to resolve it by
t Monday.”

le.
The budget conferees were to
have a three-day break to work
on the budget, but the
lawmakers decided to break
just for the weekend and
resume the session Monday.
Previously, the leadership had
intended to take off Friday and
next Tuesday as well as
breaking for the weekend.
The House spent most of the
day killing a bill 91-58 to
establish judicial administra
tion districts roughly following
present boundaries of the 10
congressional districts in Geor-
Page
giu, with an administrative
judge from each district.
The administrative judge
would oversee the workloads
and distribution of cases in his
district.
Opponents said the bill would
infringe on the separation of
powers between the legislative
and judicial branches and be
“nothing but a headache” to
judges in the state.

The House passed a bill 109-18
that would allow persons under
the age of 18 to work as
busboys and dishwashers in
establishments that serve li
quor.
A bill reducing the number of
prospective jurors required to
empanel a jury from 42 to 34
passed the House, reducing the
number of defense strikes from
20 to 14. It also cuts prosecution
strikes from 10 to 8, and is
designed to speed the judicial
process.
Running through a relatively
uncontested calendar Friday,
the Senate unanimously ap
proved a bill granting materni
ty leave benefits to school
teachers. The bill provides that
pregnant teachers can work as
long as they feel fit, but may
take maternity leave “at a time
to be determined by the
teacher, the physician and the
local school superintendent. ”
Judge throws out
charges against Guhl
DECATUR, Ga. (UPI) - A
neighboring Fulton County
judge threw out invasion of
privacy charges against De-
Kalb County Commission Chair
man Bob Guhl and his former
executive assistant Friday.
Superior Court Judge Elmo
Holt issued the ruling in the
case of Guhl, Tim Mitchell and
businessman Jack Moriarty
following a three-day pretrial
hearing.
District Attorney Richard
Bell, saying the ruling was
based on a “technicality,” said
Coca-Cola
settles
with chain
ATLANTA (UPI) - The
Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co.,
which has been fighting How
ard Johnson’s for two years in
an effort to preserve its
copyrighted trademarks—
“Coca-Cola” and “Coke”— has
finally reached a settlement
with the restaurant chain.
Attorneys for Howard John
son’s agreed to a judgement
decree in U.S. District Court in
Atlanta this week. The settle
ment requires its restaurant to
tell customers who order
“Coca-Cola” or “Coke” that it
is serving them “Ho Jo” cola
and that the Coca-Cola product
is not available.
Donald R. Keough, president
of Coca-Cola U.S.A., said he
was pleased with the court
settlement. In a statement
issued Friday, he also said the
company would continue its
vigilant campaign against copy
right violators.
“The company must and will
take whatever steps necessary
including recourse to the courts
to protect the integrity of these
trademarks,” said Keough, who
heads the domestic arm of the
Coca-Cola Co.

The Senate also voted to set
up a study commission to seek
out trends toward “regional
government” eroding authority
of state agencies and state
laws.
Major Senate changes in the
budget include a hike from $32
to $33 in the average monthly
payment per person in family
welfare programs and a shift in
Busbee’s SSO million pay raise
package for state employes.
The House version of the pay
raises would assure employes
at least a S4OO raise next year,
ranging to SBOO for the higher
paid workers, while the Senate
version would give every
employe a $450 raise regardless
of current salary.
The House passed a bill
increasing the penalty for
assault for a deadly weapon on
a law enforcement officer on
duty from one to 10 years in
prison to five to twenty years
imprisonment.
he would appeal the decision to
the state Court of Appeals.
Guhl was not in the court
room when Holt issued his
ruling and refused comment
pending a discussion with his
attorney. Mitchell embraced his
attorney and said he was
“happy as the devil.”
Guhl and Mitchell had been
charged with covertly tape
recording conversations with
other persons.
In his ruling, Holt declared
DeKalb Superior Court Judge
Clyde Henley was not an
impartial magistrate when he
issued search warrants that led
to the confiscation of taped
conversations between Guhl,
Mitchell and other persons. His
ruling upheld a defense motion
to suppress the use of the taped
conversations as evidence.
Bell said without the tapes
there was no way he could
prosecuted the invasion of
privacy charges.
Mitchell’s attorney, Don
Weissmmaan, had contended
Henley was not a “neutral and
detached magistrate” because
of remarmjudge allegedly
made about Mitchell. The judge
had been quoted as saying
Mitchell was a “crook,” and he
would “get that ”
Guhl and Mitchell also
contended Henley had told
them they could legally tape a
conversation without informing
the other person, but the judge
denied making the statement.
Holt had been asked to
preside over the case because
of the controversy it created in
DeKalb County.
