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 CATFISH CABIN Highway 16 East Jackson Road Griffin, Ga. 228-7620 All You Can Eat Friday Night FRIED SHRIMP (Reg.

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 interstate highway system. 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.

(AP) ‘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. Dr. Laney succeeds Dr. Atwood ATLANTA (AP) — Dr. James' T. Laney, dean of the Candler School of Theology, has been named to succeed Dr. Sanford S. Atwood as president of Emory University. The appointment was an nounced Thursday following a meeting of Emory’s board of trustees. respected and paid very well The typical female beauti cian who performs the same functions, however, earns less, has no job security, no adequate union protection, and is subject to the bad temperament and hiring and firing whims of the man who owns the shop. She's not Ms. or Miss Anybody. Then there are waitresses and waiters. I SPRING SALE I I Now On At I CRONIC CHEVROLET I Continues Through March 31.
