85 percent of interstate
highway completed
ATLANTA (AP) - About 85
per cent of Georgia’s interstate
highway program has been
completed, but Transportation
Commissioner Tom Moreland
says the state needs more funds
to complete the remaining 15
per cent.
About $4 million in federal
funds for next year won’t be
available until July, Moreland
told the Transportation Board
on Thursday, “and frankly
we’ve got some of the system
that’s got to go earlier.”
The federal government has
granted Georgia $4 million for
the current fiscal year and the

Federal funding after next
year has not been promised.
“If we could get $8 million or
$9 million a year, we might be
able to squeak through,” he
said. “Otherwise, we may have
to start thinking about putting
major state funds in there, and
it’s going to put us in a real
bind.”
Moreland said he was “ex
tremely pleased” with the De
partment of Transportation’s
1978 fiscal budget from the
Georgia General Assembly, but
he warned that in future years
he may be asking the legisla
ture for major allocations to the

State rests case
in Conley trial
OXFORD, N.C. (AP) - The
state rested its case Thursday
in the murder trial of Reuben
Sonny Conley after testimony
by a ballistics expert linked the
defendant’s gun with a bullet
that may have killed Virginia
State Policeman Garland W.
Fisher.
Making the final link in the
prosecution’s case, Steven T.
Carpenter of the State Bureau
of Investigation’s firearm labo
ratory also said four of the bul
lets that entered the trooper’s
body —two of which had been
termed potentially fatal in pre
vious testimony — were fired
from a gun placed six inches or
less from Fisher’s side.
Defense attorneys have sub
poenaed three witnesses for
presenting their case —two
psychiatrists and Conley’s girl
friend.
The state has attempted to
prove Fisher, 33, was abducted
in Dinwiddie County, Va., and
forced to drive toward Atlanta
— Conley’s home. Their drive
ended at a roadblock set up by
North Carolina highway patrol
men on Interstate 85 between
Oxford and Durham, where
Fisher died in a gun battle in the
early morning hours of Nov. 15,
1976.
The closing testimony was in-
The department plans to have
S3O million allocated by the re
cent legislature for road repair
“out and in use by this sum
mer,” he said.
He also said a DOT task force
has begun preparing
regulations for the movement of
wide mobile homes on Georgia
highways in line with a new law
allowing 14-foot-wide vehicles
and directing the department to
regulate them.
The board and department
had opposed allowing the wider
vehicles on Georgia roads, call
ing them a safety hazard, but
Moreland commented Thurs
day, “The General Assembly
has spoken clearly on this.”
terrupted once when Conley
stood up and casually walked
toward Judge Lacy Thornburg
while defense and prosecution
attorneys were conferring at
the bench. During a brief ex
change with the judge, Conley
said in a low voice, “I can hear
voices and I don’t like it. Like
people trying to control my
voice. It’s not right. I just want
to be myself.”
Conley later said he wanted to
leave and court was recessed
for 50 minutes as his chief
counsel, Hugh M. Currin of Ox
ford, took him into another
room. During that time, The
Associated Press learned, a
doctor examined Conley at
Thornburg’s direction.
When trial resumed, Conley
returned to his courtroom seat
and sat silently, showing no
emotion as he had throughout
the trial.
The ballistics testimony was
brought out during complicated
questioning by assisting prose
cutor lister Chalmers of the
state Attorney General’s office.
Chalmers and Carpenter dis
cussed each weapon and bullet
by the number it was assigned
as courtroom evidence, with
little explanation to help jurors
recall which bullets struck vital
organs.

‘Pink collar workers'
A view of women on the job
By Ellie Grossman
NEW YORK (NEA) - "All
we’ve heard about these last
six months is Barbara Walters
and her million dollar con
tract,” says Louise Kapp
Howe, author of "Pink Collar
Workers," published by Put
nam.
"We don't hear that the ear
ning gap between working
men and women is higher than
ever,” she says. In 1956, the
average earnings of fulltime
working women were 63 per
cent of men's; in 1974, they
had shrunk to 57 per cent.
We don't hear, she adds,
that "women in the labor
force are as segregated today
as they were at the turn of the
entury.”
In i9OO, most working
women had agricultural,
manufacturing or domestic
jobs; today, most are in
clerical, service or sales
positions.
Women comprise 40 per
cent of the country's workers,
but only 15 per cent of them
are "professionals.” mostly
teachers and nurses,
traditionally female
categories.
The rest are “pink collar
workers." Mrs. Howe's term
for the underpaid, under
valued yet socially useful
beauticians, sales workers,
waitresses, office personnel
and homemakers whose
stories she relates in her book
It took her three years and
conversations with perhaps
two hundred women around
the country to write the book
She took the time, she says,
“because it was becoming
more and more clear that the
strategy defined by the
women s movement was not
affecting the majority of
working women in this coun
try.”
Certainly it helped the oc
casional lady banker or
lawyer, but in the main, "the
movement overlooked these
other women.
“When it all began." she
says, “women were saying we
don't want to do what women
have been doing all these
years. But they didn’t all
necessarily mean that pink
collar world had no value.” It
just seemed that way.
And even if they didn’t say
that, society has always un
dervalued women unless they
perform a man’s job.
Strangely enough, if you put
a man in a "pink collar” job,
that in itself upgrades the
position. Mr Seymour coifs
your hair and he’s fawned on.

The typical female beauti

Dutch owned
plant dedicated
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - Gov.
George Busbee joined Dutch of
ficials Thursday to dedicate a
SIOO million expansion of Nipro
Inc., a Dutch company.
Busbee, speaking at the dedi
cation of the new plant on the
Savannah River in Richmond
County, said, “I strongly be
lieve that Georgia’s economic
future is closely tied to the in
ternational community.”
He said there are 22 foreign
countries operating 234 inter
national firms employing more
than 15,000 persons in Georgia.

“The potential manifested by
Nipro Inc. is matched only by
the eagerness of state govern
ment for Georgia to realize a
similar growth and expansion
throughout the state,” Busbee
said.
The Nipro expansion will
create 100 jobs in the Augusta
area, he said.
The new plant will be used in

tam, used in the production of

tured into carpet yarns, apparel
