No quick
re-entry
at Point
WASHINGTON (AP) — Army
Secretary Martin R. Hoffmann will not
permit the early readmission of West
Point cadets ousted in the worst
scandal in the history of the U.S.
Military Academy, according to Army
and congressional sources.
He is scheduled to announce at a news
conference today whether to adopt
recommendations made Dec. 15 by a
panel headed by former astronaut
Frank Borman, now chief executive of
Eastern Air Lines.
The Borman commission had
recommended the reinstatement “as
soon as possible” of the 151 cadets
implicated in honor code violations
since the homework cheating scandal
surfaced last spring.
Under Hoffmann’s timetable, cadets
caught in the scandal would not be
readmitted until after a year’s
suspension. This means most cadets
will not be allowed back until late June
or early July.
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman—worst, worst
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Louise Lasser, television
“Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” tops this year’s list of
worst-dressed women, but Jacqueline Onassis didn’t
make it because designer Mr. Blackwell says he’s “very
bored" with her.
Blackwell, issuing his annual list of the world’s 10
worstdressed women Tuesday, said Miss Lasser dresses
like a tumbleweed that “picks up every little piece of
dust.”
But he went out of his away to praise incoming First
Lady Rosalynn Carter, saying she “dresses very nicely”
and has “nice soft taste.”
“She is a fine-looking lady,” he added. “If she ever
submits to becoming a Seventh Avenue hanger, I’m sorry
for her.”
Blackwell said he studied the women for the past year
and based his selections on clothes they chose to suit their
own tastes, not on those worn as costuming for a show.
“It’s a whole new crop,” he said. “I’m so bored with
having said Liz Taylor looks terrible. Who cares now? And
Zsa Zsa Gabor — that’s like saying my grandmother just
had a baby.”
Blackwell said he asked 60 people to select the worst-

Carlisle says kindergarten issue controversial
Rep. John Carlisle listed the proposed
state kindergarten system as the most
controversial issue that the coming
session of the General Assembly will
face.
“It was a hotly contested issue two
years ago and I expect it will be again,”
he said.
Tax reform bills will follow a close
second according to Carlisle.
“We’ll be considering land use taxes,
additional sales taxes with the money to
be returned to the counties and circuit
breaker taxes,” said Carlisle.
“We have been considering all of

dressed woman on television, and all 60 voted for Dinah
Shore. But he said he dropped her to No. 10 on his list
because he found her “very boring." Mrs. Onassis,
prominently displayed on the list in past years, was
dropped this time for the same reason, he said.
Blackwell said he believes the best dressed women are
former California Gov. Ronald Reagan’s wife, Nancy;
Mary Tyler Moore and Ann-Margret.
The complete list and Blackwell’s comments:
1. Miss Lasser, “last summer’s tumbleweed, tumble
weed.” 2. Opera singer Marilyn Niska, “Carmen dressed
like Sadie Thompson.” 3. Television star Angie Dickinson,
“the policewoman that has caught everything but
fashion.” 4. Singer Charo, “a rumble seat with a pushed
up front.” 5. Dancer Ann Miller, “a 1937 screen test.” 6.
Holland’s Queen Juliana, “all the Queen’s horses and all
the Queen’s men couldn’t make Julie look good again.” 7.
Lee Radziwill, “Did Lee’s designer go down with the
Titanic?” 8. Country singer Loretta Lynn, “the right dress
in the wrong century.” 9. Television star Nancy Walker,
“vacuum cleaners have better covers.” 10. Dinah Shore,
“wild again, beguiled again and constantly contrived
again.”
these for some time, however, I feel at
this point we are closer than ever to
getting some tax reform legislation
passed,” he said.
Carlisle listed pay raises as another
big issue facing the next session.
“We are losing good teachers and
personnel because the salaries are not
competitive with other states,” he said.
“Before we decide on a raise for
teachers and university personnel, we
have to determine our projected
income. The amount of the raise would
depend on that,” he said.
He said ERA would be coming up
again and he has heard it stood a good
chance of passing the Senate. He said if
it does, it would stand a better chance of
passing the House this time.
“Handgun control and legal services
New center gets nudge
Marie Merk, area director of mental
health and retardation programs,
reported to the Spalding County Health
Board, Tuesday night, that pending
for the indigent are other issues that we
will face,” he said.
Carlisle said that he was pleased with
Gov. George Busbee’s intentions to cut
spending by sl4 million.
“It’s just good business," he said.
“The state can’t spend more than it
has. I have favored the cut since it has
been under consideration.”
Carlisle said local legislation includes
the creation of another Superior Court
Judge seat for the Griffin Circuit.
“Griffin is rated high on the list of
circuits that need another judge,” said
Carlisle.
“We are looking into the costs of
another judge and we’re talking with
many people. Personally, I haven’t
made up my mind on the issue and I
don’t believe the other members of the
review by the federal government,
plans for the proposed mental health
center should be returned to the board
within coming weeks.
She said bids for the construction
could be sent out by the first half of
February.
The old post office building on West
Solomon street will be renovated to
house the center.
She also asked the board to permit
her to begin writing an application for
an operations grant from the federal
government. The grant would provide
staff as well as other operational
expenses for the center.
The board approved her request and
asked her to provide information to the
board which might pertain to the
amount of the grant application as it
becomes available.
Busbee wants university pay hikes
ATLANTA (AP) — Gov. George
Busbee is expected to ask for pay raises
of 7.5 per cent for University System i
employes and 7 per cent for other public
school teachers in his 1977-78 proposed
budget.
“That’s in the ballpark,” said a
spokesman for Busbee Tuesday.

Seminar planned
Internal thefts
worry merchants
Griffin merchants will zero in on
ways to cut internal business thefts
during a seminar here next Tuesday.
Two experts in the field will be
speakers. The seminar will be at the
Chamber of Commerce from 10 a.m.
until noon.
Co-sponsors with the Merchants
Association will be the Chamber, Major
Emphasis Committee of the Griffin
Kiwanis Club, and the Institute of
Government at the University of
Georgia.
The speakers will be Neil Chamelin,
director of Police Sciences Division of
the Institute of Government; and David
Post, security consultant and president
of Future Security and Investigating.
They will cover such things as pre
employment screening, reducing
internal thefts and the use of the
polygraph (lie detector).
The seminar will be free.
The Chamber will handle
reservations. The seminar will be
limited to 50 people on a first come
basis.
delegation have either.”
At the request of the Spalding County
Commission, the local delegation will
introduce legislation dealing with
changes in compensation for county
offices.
“We have refused to introduce
legislation to change the method of
compensation for county
commissioners,” he said. “They
wanted a flat rate of compensation
instead of being reimbursed for actual
expenses.”
Carlisle said so far, the local
delegation has received no request
from the city commission.
As one of -Gov. Busbee’s assistant
floor leaders, Carlisle said he would be
sponsoring many pieces of legislation
particularly the “Sunset Law” which
Dr. Roy Sandidge, medical director
of the West Health District, said the
WIC program had been put into
successful operation in Spalding County
Dec. 13. He said 58 people were enrolled
during the first week and 99 are being
served now.
The WIC program (Women, Infants
and Children) is a federally funded and
provides under-nournished infants,
children and pregnant women with food
packages.
Sandidge said the program is serving
82 women, 12 infants and five children
in Spalding County.
Ralph Davis, chief environmental
sanitarian, introduced two new
environmental health employes to the
board. Danny Rice will serve as
superintendent sanitarian and Almand
Garrett will work as a sanitation
trainee in Spalding County.
Tuesday that a 5 per cent pay raise for
all other state employes is also included
in Busbee’s recommendation for $65
million in salary increases.
The governor had planned to reveal
his budget proposals Tuesday, but he
was confined to bed with a cold and
fever. The recommendations now may
be announced Thursday.
Post, one of the speakers, said
internal theft accounts for about 60-80
percent of retail losses. He said about 50
percent of those businesses going
bankrupt do so because of losses
incurred from theft and not necessarily
the inability to sell the product.
