HELENA, Mont. (AP)-A
voting precinct without a single
registered voter was carried on
state records throughout 1976,
the and Clark County
recorder says.
Recorder Helen Kovich said
Friday that after Bill Wade,
89—only registered voter in
Marysville’s Precinct No. 13—
died in 1975, no move was made
to reunite precincts divided in
1974.

A measure giving the state
Department of Natural Re
sources control over surface
waters in Georgia and requiring
heavy water users to obtain a
permit if they use more than
100,000 gallons of water per day
also won House approval.
The Senate approved midyear
changes in the state’s budget
but balked at the House plan
adding S3O million to the budget
for a road rehabilitation pro
gram.
Conferees on the joint legisla
tive committee agreed Friday
to meet again Sunday after
spending 40 minutes reviewing
their differences on the highway
repair issue.
Sen. Paul Broun, chairman of
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, argued that it would be
“much better business” to have
the state transportation depart
ment make a thorough survey
of roads that badly need repair
than have the money ready to
be spent beginning July 1.
But Rep. Joe Frank Harris,
chairman of the House Appro
priations Committee, said the
lower chamber feels that money
will end up “in the candy bags”
of other programs if left for next
year’s budget.
On another front, the Senate
aproved a bill that would allow
motorists to turn left against a
red light from a oneway street
to a one-way street and sent
back to committee a bill that
would require television
repairmen and other
electronics repair workers to
register with the state.

Representatives agreed to take a new look at a proposed
constitutional amendment to give legislators four-year
terms.
Rep. Douglas Dean, D-Atlanta, introduced a bill

tenants or shutting off services to their rental property.

Smith’s white-minority regime
in Rhodesia does not want a
settlement with blacks in south

“The people in Rhodesia will
see Smith is leading them down
a dead-end street,” Young said
of the Rhodesian prime minis

nal settlement with unnamed
black moderates rather than
guerrilla leaders who he claims
are Soviet-backed.
“I do not think Smith wants to
settle—he never has,” Young
said at a press briefing. “It’s
just a question of how long it
takes him to realize how long
he’s got.”
Part of Young’s mission is to
assess the hopes for reviving
the Rhodesia talks in Geneva,
which broke down in December.

British plan to create a black

to oversee the transtion to
majority rule in the former

blacks and 270,000 whites.

prospect of Marxist govern
