‘These kids are peaceful’
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (UPI) — “These kids are the
most peaceful citizens we’ve had in here all season. They
remind me of the kids from the ’so’s,” Jim Laughlin, «
president of the Daytona Beach Hotel and Motel
Association, said.
Hotel operators estimated more than 100,000 visitors,
about two-thirds of them college students, descended on
the resort area during the weekend, nearly doubling the
metropolitan Daytona Beach area population.
Besides the young people, there also were thousands of
family vacationers who intermingled with the college

crowd on the 23 miles of beach.
A police spokesman expressed “surprise” at the
comparatively low number of weekend arrests — 181,
mostly for drinking violations — and called it “pretty
quiet.” More than 800 were arrested three weekends ago
during the Spring break for many Northern colleges.
“Maybe it was the rain we had here last week — it
rained two days before the weekend — that scared people
off. The main part of the crowd started arriving Sunday.
We expect them to keep coming up until Easter Sunday,”
the spokeswoman said.
“This used to be a pretty hairy operation 12 years ago,”
Laughlin said. “I guess those kids brought all that
combustion with them during the Vietnam War years, but
now that it’s over they’re more like the kids used to be in
the ’so’s.”
Chet Szemborski, manager of the 98-room Daytona Inn,
said hotel and motel occupancy was running near 90 per
cent and “rooms are very scarce this week,” adding there
had been “no appreciable number” of acts of vandalism
at motels.
Lifeguards made 50 rescues during the weekend, but
there were no reports of drownings, a spokesman for the
Volusia County Beach Safety Division said.

Butz blamed for skyrocketing
costs of federal peanut subsidies
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
farmers’ representative today
blamed Agriculture Secretary
Earl Butz for skyrocketing
costs that have enmeshed
federal peanut subsidies in
controversy and brought calls
for their conclusion.
Reuben Johnson, legislative
director of the National Farm
ers Union, was scheduled to
appear along with peanut
growers before a House agricul
ture subcommittee that is
considering compromise
legislation that would reduce
price supports and acreage
allotments for peanuts.

$2,000 stolen
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) -
Police have arrested a man and
a woman in the theft of more
than $2,000 and press creden
tials from nine motel rooms,
including those occupied by four
reporters covering the Masters’
golf tournament.
Jerry Lee Miller, 27, of
Martinez, Ga., and Sharon
O’Connor, 27, of North Augusta,
S.C., were arrested Monday.
Authorities said Miller was
the “night auditor” of the
Ramada Inn South, where the
thefts occured during last
weekend’s golf tournament.
Police said the pair used pass
keys to enter the rooms, some of
which belonged to two
Associated Press reporters and
two St. Louis Post-Dispatch
writers covering the golf
classic.
A spokesman for the Rich
mond County sheriff’s office
said police recovered several
pass keys to Georgia and South
Carolina motel rooms in a raid

when Butz charged Democratic
presidential aspirant Jimmy
Carter has “grown fat” by
receiving peanut subsidies.
Carter denied this, saying the
subsidies he had received
amounted to “small potatoes.”
Butz said laer the flap over
his charges points up a serious
need for reform of peanut
subsidies, which rose from $3
million in 1973 to $l5O million in
1974 and are estimated to have
shot up to about $250 million last
year.

son said Butz caused the
increase in costs in 1973 by
ordering an end to sales of
surplus peanuts for crushing
and export on a bid basis. Butz
instead required their sale at a
floor price at least 15 per cent
above the price support rate, he
said.
Although the proposed
legislation has the support of
some growers, Johnson
charged, “This bill is before this
subcommittee because of the

Secretary of Agriculture Earl
Butz.”
Among other things, the bill
would reduce price supports
from 75 to 70 per cent of parity .
and reduce from 1.6 million to
1.2 million acres the amount of
land on which peanuts could be
grown. Other proposals have
called for larger cuts in
subsidies with the entire
program to end within five
years.
