Carter can expect fight
over SSO tax rebate
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Thanks to the “honeymoon"
that Congress traditionally
grants to a new chief executive,
President Carter apparently
has the votes to win Senate Fi
nance Committee approval of
his SSO-per-person tax rebate.

But Carter can expect a stiff
fight when the measure reaches
the Senate floor.
A final committee vote on the
tax bill could come today.
Democratic members of the
committee stuck together when
the panel refused on separate
10-8 votes Thursday to substi
tute a permanent tax cut for the
rebate. Four Democrats ad
mitted afterwards they had
misgivings about the rebate,
but voted from party loyalty.
Independent Harry Byrd of
Virginia joined the seven Re
publicans in voting against Car
ter.
The President’s program did
not fare so well in the Senate
Appropriations Committee. By
a 10-7 margin, the panel
stripped from a House-passed
bill $3.2 billion that had been
earmarked to pay for a portion
of the rebate program. That de
cision is subject to review by the
full Senate.
It took a last-minute pitch by
President Carter’s chief eco
nomic adviser and all the per
suasiveness of Chairman Rus
sell B. Long for the finance
committee to reject GOP al
ternatives to the rebate.
Democratic Sens. Abraham
Ribicoff of Connecticut, Daniel
P. Moynihan of New York,
Floyd Haskell of Colorado and
Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. of Texas
conceded they voted against the
GOP plan mainly because they
think Carter’s program should
be given a chance to boost the
economy.
Americans free to travel anywhere in world
WASHINGTON (AP) - An
executive order that has kept
Americans from traveling to
four Communist countries is ex
piring today and that means
U.S. citizens are free to travel
anywhere in the world for the
first time in 27 years.
President Carter announced
nine days ago that he would not
renew the ban on travel by
Americans to Cuba, Vietnam,
North Korea and Cambodia.
Construction of midfield terminal
at Hartsfield Airport moves ahead
ATLANTA (AP) — Construc
tion of the proposed S4OO million
midfield terminal at Hartsfield
International Airport will go
ahead as scheduled even if
three airlines don’t sign an
agreement, city officials said
Thursday.
Officials had feared construc
tion might be delayed by a pos-
6 people die in house fire
SPARTANBURG, S.C.
(AP)— Four North Carolinians
were among the six persons
killed in a pre-dawn house fire
in Spartanburg County
Thursday.
The other two victims of the
blaze along Lake Bowen in the
community of New Prospect
were Alabamans.
Spartanburg County coroner
George L. Adams identified the
victims as Daniel Beckham, 21,
and John Young of Charlotte;
Donald Richard Bounds, of Mo
bile, Ala.; Graham Ballard Ba
refoot, of Wrightsville Beach,
N.C.; Kyle Crook, of Matthews,
N.C.; and Doris Lynne Steph
ens, of Huntsville, Ala.
Another resident of the wood
en A-frame house, 19-year-old
Ewell Robert Culbertson of
Charlotte, escaped injury.
Culbertson, Bounds, and Ba
refoot were students at Wofford
Move planned
to forestall
executions
ATLANTA (AP) — Attorneys
for three men scheduled to die
in Georgia’s electric chair this
month plan further legal moves
to forestall the executions, offi
cials said Thursday.
Troy Leon Gregg of Asheville,
N.C., convicted of murder in the
1973 deaths of two Florida men,
is scheduled to be executed
March 28, as is James Lee
Spencer, convicted of mur
dering the father-in-law of a po
liceman who was taking him to
the state prison to serve a sen
tence for another crime.
Samuel Gibson 111, convicted
of the rape and murder of Joan
Delight Bryan of Gray, Ga., is
scheduled to die March 21.
All three have lost bids to
have the U.S. Supreme Court
overturn their convictions and
sentences.
Gregg’s appeal to the high
court last year resulted in a
ruling upholding Georgia’s
death penalty law.
Spokesmen for the Board of
Pardons and Paroles and the
governor’s office said Thursday
Gibson’s attorneys plan to seek
a writ of habeas corpus in an
attempt to at least delay his ex
ecution. Spencer’s attorneys
plan a similar appeal and
Gregg’s attorneys are making
plans for other appeals.
Gov. George Busbee has in
dicated he will issue 90-day
stays of execution to those who
ask for them so the Board of
Pardons and Paroles can re
view the cases.
The board has the right to re
duce a death sentence.

The restrictions had been re
newed semi-annually by pre
vious administrations but Car
ter decided they were inconsist
ent with his commitment to in
ternational human rights.
The ban on travel by U.S.
citizens to North Korea was im
posed 26 years ago and to Cuba
16 years ago. The State Depart
ment banned travel to Cam
bodia and what formerly was
South Vietnam in 1975; travel to
sible appeal by Southern Air
lines of a federal court ruling
that went against the airline
this week.
Southern had complained that
it was to be charged too much
for its gates at the proposed
terminal, but U.S. District
Court Judge William O’Kelley
ruled Monday that most of the
College in Spartanburg, and had
rented the house, along with
Beckham. Miss Stephens was a
student at Converse College,
also in Spartanburg, and Crook
and Young were visiting at the
house.
Crook attended Appalachian
State University in Boone, N.C.
Adams said the six bodies
were burned beyond recogni
tion.
Firemen said when they ar
rived on the scene at about 6
a.m., they found Culbertson
outside in a dazed condition. He
was hospitalized in shock.
Units from three nearby fire
departments responded to the
call. They worked for about an
hour and a half before bringing
it under control.
Only a wall of the structure
was standing after the fire.
Authorities said Culbertson, a
Wofford sophomore, told them

North Vietnam was banned
previously.
Technically, only the use of a
U.S. passport for travel to the
four countries had been barred,
not the travel itself.
From 1950 until 1971, the
United States restricted travel
by U.E. citizens to Communist
China.
Thousands of Americans in
recent years have circum
vented the regulations by trav
eling to Cuba without the use of
cost formulas were reasonable.
Southern has not said whether
it will appeal.
The two other airlines that
have not agreed to the city’s
terms are TWA and National.
A Thursday agreement be
tween the city and five other
airlines stipulates that those
five will bear the extra cost if
in a statement before being re
leased from the hospital
that when he went
to bed, three persons
remained awake partying.
Culbertson said when he got up
at 5:30 a.m. to begin his job de
livering newspapers, he opened
the hall door because the room
felt hot. He said the bedroom
immediately filled with smoke.
Culbertson jumped from the
first-floor room and tried to
awaken the others by throwing
rocks at the windows and yel
ling, but got no response.
The student got a neighbor to
call firemen.
Officials said arson investiga
tors from the Spartanburg
County Sheriff’s Department
and the State Law Enforcement
Division were called in to
investigate the blaze. However,
foul play is not suspected.

a passport and with the prior
consent of the Cuban govern
ment.
From the U.S. government
standpoint, only journalists,
members of Congress, scholars
or persons on humanitarian
missions were exempt from the
regulations.
The end to the restrictions is
not expected to have any short
term impact on travel to North
Korea or Cambodia. Only a
handful of Americans have vis-
any of the other three decide
they don’t want to be included
under the city’s terms.
The proposed terminal also
could be trimmed in size, offi
cials said.
“If Southern does not sign the
lease in time for bids to be let
(next week), the Southern space
will not be built,’’ said
Councilman Richard Guthman,
chairman of the council’s fi
nance committee.

ited North Korea in the past 26
years and no American is
known to have visited Cam
bodia since the Communist
takeover there in April 1975.
There is no sign that either of
these countries is about to relax
its policies concerning
American visitors.
The greatest potential impact
of the new U.S. policy is ex
pected to involve travel to Cuba,
which has shown increased
interest in developing its
tourism industry.
Because of the absence of a
direct airlink, however, Ameri
cans wanting to visit Cuba will
have to go by chartered airplane
or byway of Canada, Mexico or
Jamaica.
Officials say they are hopeful
that an accounting by Vietnam
of the missing will lead to nor
mal diplomatic relations, and
create opportunities for two
way tourism and business
contacts.
