(AP) 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.

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. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! ißeep! Beep! ?

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.

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. Page 9 — Griffin Daily News Friday, March 18,1977 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.

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.
