Break-in reported
ATLANTA (UPI) — Police said the offices of the ar
chitects designing the reviewing stand to be used in
President-elect Jimmy Carter’s inauguration were
broken into Sunday, but apparently nothing was taken.
Authorities said the break-in at the firm of Muldauer
and Patterson in Atlanta occurred between 5 p.m. and 8
p.m., when the architects, who had been working on the
reviewing stand designs, were out for supper.
Officials said the molding around the window leading
into the third-floor office was removed and the glass lifted
out of place. Two other offices in the building were also
entered, but nothing appeared to have been disturbed in
those offices.
Atlanta police have sent reports of the incident to the
Secret Service.
Tourism promotion
ATLANTA (UPI) — State Industry and Trade Commis
sioner Milton Folds says Georgia will be the first state in
the nation allowed to set up a tourism promotion exhibit in
the National Visitor Center in Washington, D. C.
Folds said the exhibit will be opened in January to
coincide with the inauguration of President-elect Jimmy
Carter.
Folds said the project, commissioned by the National
Parks Service, will serve as a model for use of the center
by other states.
“The promotional potential of an exhibit like this is
limitless,” said Folds.
No other state has been given exclusive use of the
center’s Hall of States, two 500-seat auditoriums and other
promotional facilities.

Entertainment queen Roz Russell dead
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (UPI) -
Rosalind Russell, the queen of
sophisticated stage and screen comedy
who capped her career with her un
forgettable protrayal of the crusty but
charming Auntie Marne, is dead at the
age of 63.
Miss Russell died Sunday at her home
from cancer, complicated by her long
battle with severe rheumatoid arthritis.
Her husband, Fred Brisson, and their
son and daughter-in-law were with her
when she died.
Tentative funeral arrangements
included services at the Church of Good
Shepherd at 11 a.m. Wednesday,
followed by burial at Holy Cross
Cemetery in nearby Culver City.
A family spokesman asked that
contributions, in lieu of flowers, be sent
to the Rosalind Russell Memorial Fund
in care of the Bank of America in
Beverly Hills. The fund will be used to
build a research center for both cancer
and arthritis.
Miss Russell was afflicted with
breast cancer 15 years ago and was
stricken with arthritis six years ago.
She vowed at the time, “If I beat this
rap, I’ll search for a cure for the rest of
my life.”
Miss Russell was bom in Waterbury,
Conn., on June 4,1913. She was one of
seven children of James Russell, a
famous trial lawyer and his wife, Clara
Knight, a fashion editor of Vogue
Magazine.
After brief studies at the American
Academy of Dramatic Arts in New
Australia devalues its dollar 17.5 percent
By BRIAN DEWHURST
SYDNEY, Australia (UPI) -
A record 17.5 per cent
devaluation of the Australian
dollar today triggered similar
devaluations of the currencies
of neighboring New Zealand
and Papua New Guinea.
The devaluation pegged the
Australian dollar at 1.017
against the U.S. dollar, com
pared with Friday’s closing
quote of 1.235, making the two
currencies roughly equal in
value on international monetary
markets.
Australia’s announcement of
the devaluation Sunday prompt
ed a 12.5 per cent devaluation
of the currency of Papua New
Guinea against the Australian
dollar and 7.25 per cent against
other world currencies.
New Zealand waited until
today to announce it was

Eight inmates failed
to return after furlough
ATLANTA (UPI) — Warrants
were issued Sunday for eight
Georgia prison inmates who
failed to return to prison after
their 56-hour Thanksigiving
furlough expired.
Corrections Department
spokesman Sarah Passmore
said 702 other inmates returned
by the 6 p.m. Saturday
deadline.
In addition, two inmates were
shot and a third was jailed
during the holiday.
Charles Hann, an inmate
from Houston County, was
reported in serious condition in
a Clayton hospital with a chest
wound he received in a shooting
Thursday.
Hiawatha Truesdale, a Rich
mond County inmate, was
slightly injured when his
brother-in-law shot him in the
face with a shotgun. Truesdale
was treated and sent back to
the Richmond County facility.
Pamela Carson, an inmate
from the Columbia House pre
release center for women, was
jailed in Marietta on charges of

York she started her career with a
touring tent show and bit parts on
Broadway.
She signed a long-term contract with
MGM Studios, made her movie debut
with William Powell and Myrna Loy in
“Evelyn Prentice,” and gained star
dom with her portrayal of the malicious
gossiping female in “The Women” in
1939.
After that she was cast most often as
a brash and efficient career woman in
such comedies as “His Girl Friday,”
“Take a Letter, Darling” and “My
Sister Eileen,” which earned her first
Oscar nomination in 1943.
She was also nominated for “Sister
Kenny” in 1946, “Mourning Becomes
Electra” in 1948 and “Auntie Marne” in
1958, but never won the award.
However, she was awarded a Tony
for the musical comedy “Wonderful
Town” in 1954. And for her work in civic
and humanitarian projects she re
ceived the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian
Award in 1973.
Miss Russell won her greatest ac
claim for her irrepressable portrayal of
the uninhibited Marne and once com
mented, “I could have gone on playing
Auntie Marne for ever.”
She was most proud of her film on
Sister Elizabeth Kenny’s work against
polio, however.
“I wanted to help her keep polio in front
of the public,” she said. “The studio
never wanted it. They thought nobody
would want to go to a film to see
crippled children.”

and 7 per cent against other
world currencies including the
U.S. dollar. Prime Minister
Robert Muldoon said the effect
of the action was to peg New
Zealand’s currency at about 91
cents to the Australian dollar.
The immediate impact of the
devaluations will be to increase
the cost of imports, making
local industries more competi
tive and making exports more
attractive on international mar
kets.
In announcing Australia’s
devaluation, Treasurer Philip
Lynch said wage increases had
reduced Australia’s competitive
position in world markets,
resulting in foreign currency
reserve losses. Manufacturers
and business leaders strongly
criticized the decision because
of higher import costs.
