Twice in the last session of Congress, strip-mining bills survived the shoves and tugs of mining and environmental fac tions and were sent to the White House. Twice, President Ford scuttled the effort with vetoes. Ford agreed with industry that the bills would hamper production, cost jobs, and in crease reliance on foreign oil. This time, supporters of the legislation are cheered by Car ter’s campaign statements that he would have signed the legis lation.

They won’t hurt you any more than eating weeds, he said, “but who eats weeds.” Carter’s election denies the mining industry its White House ally. Environmentalists believe the coal industry’s strategy this session will be to try to gut the bill in committee and on the floor. Carl Bagge, president of the National Coal Association, puts it this way: The industry is concerned with obtaining a bill that will increase production. Bagge says the legislation in troduced by Rep. Morris Udall, D-Ariz., is nothing more than “a land use bill which has the explicit purpose of discouraging surface mining.” Over half of U.S. coal produc tion comes from strip mines. Western coal, with its low sulfur content, burns cleaner and therefore is more desirable. georgia news Southern layoff ATLANTA (AP) — Southern Airways Inc. is laying off about 190 employes because business has not been as good as expected, a Southern spokesman said Monday. “This does not indicate business is not substantially ahead of last year,” he said, but business “is not showing the continuing growth rate that was indicated earlier in the year.” Most of those affected, he said, were “junior per sonnel,” including about 75 part-time employes. The spokesman denied that the layoff had anything to do with a Civil Aeronautics Board decision earlier this year to change a regional subsidy program in away that Southern said might cut its net annual revenue by as much as $500,000. Mayor indicted ATLANTA (AP) — Alta Sam Dryden, the mayor of Tall apoosa who has been indicted in connection with an alleged gasoline theft ring, is a defendant in an unrelated federal civil tax case. The 57-year-old mayor is accused of transferring property to his wife in 1968 to avoid taxes, according to attorneys for the Internal Revenue Service, which filed the suit in 1973. Dryden transferred the property to his wife, according to his attorneys, because of an agreement he made to avoid becoming “involved With liquor” after he was ac cused of violating state liquor laws. Dryden and 31 others pleaded innocent Friday to charges that they conspired to illegally tap gasoline pipelines in Georgia and Alabama. Murder indictments MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Two persons face murder charges as the result of action Monday by a Baldwin County grand jury. George Yeager 111, 17, was indicted on a murder charge in the Dec. 14 sniper shooting of 58-year-old Meriwether County service station operator Thomas Humphrey. He’d rather die with legs on NEW YORK (AP) - A 58- year-old derelict from Alabama who has said he’d rather “die with my legs on” than have them amputated to stop gan grene, has been told by a judge that he needn’t have the oper ation. “I feel fine about it,” a Roosevelt Hospital spokesman quoted Otis Simmons as saying when he heard of the ruling Monday by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Hilda Schwartz. In ruling that surgeons cannot amputate Simmons* right leg below the knee and part of his left foot unless he consents, Justice Schwartz had spurned testimony of physicians and psychiatrists — the latter con tending Simmons wasn’t men tally competent to make the de cision. “A most important consideration,” the judge said in her 27-page decision, “is the fact that the one who will be most affected by the choice, whichever way it is made, is the patient himself.” Justice Schwartz also noted I AHENTION VETERANS I I 100% FINANCING I I 8% INTEREST I I, jj- I 110 KITCHEN/DINING UTIUTY Jj BEDROOM-3 I 1»• k>- . n'-r L'c-10l EJi *’°'' I |»amb<| 1 w HALL I — r - m—l ■ c. fl LIVINGROOM BEDROOM-2 | BEDROOM-I U is'-o-. vo- ■ «•-<• || w-r ■ u'-e w S c a IL - . uj — — I I 3 bedroom, 1 bath, 1028 sq. ft., carpet throughout, built-1 I in kitchen ...

Expressway Phone 228-7101 that while initial medical testi mony indicated amputation was the only way to save Simmons’ life, other doctors have sub sequently said that “in their view, death would not result if the proposed amputations did not take place.” The judge ruled that the hos pital could renew its application for permission to perform the operations if Simmons’ mental condition worsened or his life was obviously threatened without immediate surgery. A hospital spokesman said it had not been decided whether to appeal the decision. Simmons’ feet became gang renous after he spent 15 hours immobile on Broadway near the Americana Hotel in bitter cold last Dec. 22, then walked barefoot on the ice to the hospi tal. Justice Schwartz disputed the psychiatrists’ contention that Simmons did not understand the danger to his life.

Routes recommended ATLANTA (AP) — An administrative law judge recom mended Monday that Delta and Eastern Air Lines receive new routes between Atlanta and the Midwest. Judge Henry Whitehouse urged the Civil Aeronautics Board to give Eastern authority to fly nonstop between Atlanta and Cincinnati and Atlanta and Detroit. Delta should be given authority to stop in Cleveland on its Atlanta-Detroit runs, Whitehouse said. He said his recommendations were based on evidence that granting the routes would help Delta and Eastern “make more efficient their already large operations” to the Midwest. His decision will be considered by the full five-member CAB. Tipster admits killing SAVANNAH, Ga.
