Human Rights Commission condemns Chile, not Uganda GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) — The U.N. Human Rights Commission, with U.S. support, has condemned repression by Chile’s military junta, but the 32-nation panel rebuffed a Brit ish bid for public debate of mass murder charged to President Idi Amin in Uganda. The United States voted for the anti-Chilean resolution Wednesday although the Carter administration repudiated the admission by its representative Adairsville men killed ROME, Ga.

(AP) — Two men have been arrested and 25 pounds of marijuana estimated to be worth SIO,OOO seized, Bibb County Sheriff Ray Wilkes reported Wed nesday.

(AP) — Two persons were killed and two injured Wednesday in a collision near Georgia 87 and Interstate 75. The victims were identified as Sylvia Underwood, 54, of Orlando, Fla., and her husband, Bobby Underwood, 46, of Juliette, Ga. Underwood was an outdoors writer for The Macon Telegraph. Wildcat strike ATLANTA (AP) — A wildcat strike was called Wed nesday by union workers at an Arrow Shirt plant in Atlanta, a New York spokesman for the manufacturer said. at the meeting that the U. S. government had a part in the “subversion” of the elected Marxist government over thrown by the junta. The resolution denounced “constant and flagrant viola tions of human rights” in Chile and was adopted by a 26-1 vote. Uruguay cast the negative vote, while Jordan and four Latin- American nations — Peru, Pan ama, Costa Rica and Ecuador — abstained. The United States during the Nixon and Ford administrations abstained on similar resolutions critical of the Chilean junta, but this time it was among the cosponsors of the resolution, along with the Soviet Union and Cuba. The change presumably reflected President Carter’s stated concern for human rights throughout the world. By a vote of 17-8, the human rights body also adopted a Cu ban motion to take up in private session a British resolution calling for an inquiry by the commission into the human rights situation in Uganda. As usual, the Africans and Soviet Bloc members voted together and were expected to kill the British resolution if it ever comes to a vote. The United States, Canada, Britain, West Germany, Sweden, Italy, Uru guay and Costa Rica voted against the secret debate. Washington, meanwhile, called U.S. delegate Brady Ty son home for having expressed to the commission on Tuesday “profoundest regrets for the role some (U.S.) government officials, agencies and private groups played in the subver sion” of the Chilean regime of Marxist President Salvador Al lende in 1973. Teamsters, Chavez agree FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Years of farm labor strife marked by occasional violence in California appear to be end ing with the giant Teamsters Union leaving the fields to Ce sar Chavez* scrappy United Farm Workers. Chavez and Teamsters Inter national President Frank Fitz simmons are to announce an agreement today which would split organizing rights: the UFW will get sole jurisdiction in the fields, the Teamsters sole jurisdiction over cannery workers. Twice before, the bitter rivals reached agreements that failed. The scheduled announcement at a 2 p.m. EST news confer ence at Western Conference of Teamsters headquarters in Burlingame comes after nego tiations that began late last year. They were conducted qui etly without the pressure of a crisis in the fields and with only occasional public comments from Chavez. Chavez gained national fame when he struck the table grape workers of central California in 1965 and led a five-year boycott. But the Teamsters Union was first to organize field hands. It signed a contract in the Salinas farming region in 1961 with Bud Antle, one of the nation’s largest lettuce growers. Almost a decade later, a battle for dominance in that re gion sparked the bitter dispute bet- ?en the two unions. Chavez accused the Team sters of signing “sweetheart contracts” that benefited grow ers and claimed that only his union represented farm work ers’ interests.

(AP) — The City of Macon is "seriously considering filing a lawsuit” against the U.S. Secretary of Labor over the secretary’s re fusal to certify the city for ur ban mass transit grants, Mayor Buck Melton said Wednesday. Melton, who spent Monday and Tuesday in Washington, said the labor department re mains adamant in its demand that Macon recognize a union representing a majority of the transit system employes as a condition of certification. Melton said he told federal officials that the employes are now enjoying better benefits and salaries than they pre viously had under union con tract. “If we go to court, we will proceed on two major points: the fact that the union did not exist at the time the city pur chased the system and the ad ditional contention that the sec retary of labor is abusing and misusing the broad dis cretionary powers given him by the Congress,” Melton said.
