LOS ANGELES (UPI) — The city
attorney’s office has dropped a nar
cotics charge against Phyllis Bradley,
31, daughter of Mayor Tom Bradley.
Miss Bradley, who has a record of
earlier arrests, was charged with
possession of PCP, or “angel dust,”
allegedly found by an officer who
stopped her car for a traffic violation.
The city attorney’s office said the
amount found was too small to support
prosecution.
Watergater
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Alexander
Butterfield, the former White House
aide who revealed the existence of
Richard Nixon’s White House tapes,
has a new job as executive vice
president of a California-based air
service company.
James C. Jack Jr., president of the
International Air Service Co. Ltd., in a
statement Tuesday announced the
appointment of Butterfield, who also
headed the Federal Aviation
Administration.
‘All Abo-o-a-a-rd’ cry returning to Plains
PLAINS, Ga. (UPI) - The
old cry of “All Abo-o-a-a-rd”
will be heard soon for the first
time in 25 years at the small
white clapboard depot that has
become a symbol of Jimmy
Carter’s campaign and election
to the presidency.
By the time the first
passenger train in Plains since
May 31, 1951, disappears down

— with another band of Carter
supporters.
These two special trains, one
operated by Amtrak and the
other by Southern Railway, are
developing into one of the most
popular ways to travel from
Georgia to Carter’s inaugura
tion.
The Plains train — to be
called the “Peanut Special” —
promises to be more fun than
many of the formal inaugural
parties if the comments of the
townspeople who plan to ride it
are any indication.

Youth indicted
in stabbing
ATLANTA (UPI) — A 17-
year-old white Atlanta youth
has been charged with volun
tary manslaughter in the
stabbing death of a black
student that touched off a
racial controversy at Walter F.
George High School.
The Fulton County grand jury
Tuesday indicted Robert Emory
Edwards on voluntary man
slaughter charges in the Dec.
10 death of Clarence Demps, 16,
of Atlanta.
The indictment charged Ed

sudden impulse of passion,
which was irresistible.”

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga.
(UPI) — President-elect Jimmy
Carter says Vice President
elect Walter Mondale will be
his “top staff person” in the
White House, sharing the
responsibilty and the power of
the presidency.
Carter, in the past few days,
has said on several occasions
he has decided on an unpre
cented role for Mondale which
would give him the authority of
fun,” said one of the 350 persons
lucky enough to get reser
vations.
News organizations — includ
ing both wire services, all the
networks and many major
newspapers — scrambled to get
space aboard on the prospect
that it would be one of the better
stories of the Inaugural.
It was an assured sellout even
before it was approved last
week, and the Atlanta train is
well on its way to becoming a
sellout as well.
“I’ve never seen such interest
in all my life,” said Bill Hart-
charged with aggravated as
sault and carrying weapons.
Racial tensions were ignited
at the school two weeks ago
when a municipal court judge
dismissed murder charges
against Edwards on grounds of
insufficient evidence.
Edwards testified during the
municipal court hearing that he
stabbed Demps in self defense
after Demps and another youth
grabbed him in the school
parking lot, beat him and
demanded money.
Fulton District Attorney
Lewis Slaton said “even though
that was a shakedown, the
grand jury seems to be saying
it did not give him (Edwards)
the right to stick the fellow.”
a “boss” over other White
House staffers, although he
would not have any direct
authority over the Cabinet.
Press Secretary Jody Powell
explained to reporters Tuesday
that as Carter sees it, Mondale
will function as his principal
adviser and “almost as a co
equal.”
Powell said “we do look to
Sen. Mondale as a boss,
virtually the same way as we
look to Gov. Carter.”
man, the travel agent coor
dinating the Atlanta train, the
“Jimmy Carter Georgia
Inaugural Special.”
The Peanut Special is the
brain child of Maxine Reese, a
Plains resident who handles
press matters for Carter’s
mother, Miss Lillian, among
other duties. She pointed out
that it would be fitting for
Plains residents to go by train.
“We’ve been in a depot all this
time,” she said.
“I’ve never been on a train,”
she added. “One man told me he
hadn’t been on a train since he
was five years old.”
The Peanut Special will be a
throwback to a more elegant
age of railroading. Os its 18 cars
12 will be pullman sleepers, two
diners and two lounge cars. And
only two coaches.
Amtrak is charging SBO,OOO
for the round trip, partly
because the train must be
deadheaded from New Orleans
to Plains. This adds up to a
charge of $272.80 per passenger
for Pullman accommodations
or $172.80 for a coach seat.
It is scheduled to leave Plains
at noon Jan. 19 and arrive in
Washington at 7 a.m. on
Inauguration Day, Jan. 20. It
will return the following day.
The special will be forced to
take a circuitious route in
Georgia to stay on the fastest
tracks. It will take SCL’s lightly
used and slow Montgomery to
Savannah branch from Plains
to Cordele, Ga., where it will
head southeast to Waycross,
Ga., on the SCL Atlanta-Florida
main line. There it will join the
SCL main line through
Savannah and Charleston to
Washington.
The Atlanta train, which will
leave at 6 p.m. on Jan. 18, will
take a more direct route — the
Southern Railway main line
from Atlanta to Washington,
which still has passenger
service.
It will make only one stop, at
Gainesville, Ga., which likes to
call itself the chicken capital of
the South, where the Georgia
Poultry Federation will provide
chicken and “egg-cycles” —
seasoned eggs on sticks.
The 16-car Atlanta train — six
sleepers, six coaches, two
diners and two lounges — will
cost $282 in sleepers and $lB9 in
coaches, including Washington
hotel accommodations and
meals.
6-foot,
275 pound
sheriff
ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio
(UPI) — There’s nothing un
common about being a 6-foot
275-pound sheriff, unless you
happen to be a woman.
One such female peace officer
is Mrs. Kathy Cnunbley, who
today is sworn in as one of the
few women in the U.S. ever to
hold such a post — sheriff of
Belmont County.
A self-described “non
woman’s libber,” Mrs. Crumb
ley says she knows she "will be
tested but I can handle the job.”
