Cochran rejects bids
on Plains, Ga. land
PLAINS, Ga. (AP) - After a
confused land auction during
the weekend, speculators and
residents of President Carter’s
home town were trying to figure
out just who owned what of
more than 1,000 acres of farm
land put up for bid.
William 0. Cochran split up
his 1,056 acres of property in 49
parcels. Bids on Saturday
ranged from $14,000-an-acre for
the four acres nearest town to a
low of |975 per acre. That to
taled about $1.2 million.
Cochran accepted a bid of
$16,400 for a four-acre tract and
turned down bids on the re
maining 46 parcels. Then, he
asked for offers for the remain
ing 1,052 acres as a single
package.
However, on Sunday, Cochran
said: “I haven’t accepted any
offer, that’s all.” Ground rules
set up before the bidding gave
him the right to reject any offer.
The highest bid to buy the
large package was $1.25 million,
offered by a Forsyth, Ga.,
fanner who said he was repre
senting two attorneys from
Farmersville, 111.
Cochran decided to turn down
that bid and, a few hours after
that, one of the Illinois men said
the whole thing had been a
mistake.
One of the attorneys, Marc
Fuchs, said he had been think
ing of buying about 100 acres,
not 1,052.
Meanwhile, the buyer of the
four-acre tract, Alton Foster of
Macon, Ga., said he’d resold it
to a man claiming to represent
Billy Carter, the President’s
brother.
Billy Carter said talk of his
involvement was “just rumors”
Assembly approved 913 bills
ATLANTA (AP) - The Geor
gia General Assembly approved
913 bills or resolutions out of
some 2,200 introduced during
the 1977 session, according to
the latest figures.
A total of 769 bills and 146
resolutions were passed. Both
the House and Senate approved
355 general bills affecting the
entire state and 414 local bills
which affect single cities or
other small areas.
Gov. George Busbee has
signed some into law already
and has until July 1 to make a
decision on the others, signing
them, vetoing them or letting
them become law without his
signature.
The resolutions, which do not
require the governor’s signa
ture, often have little signifi-
Inmate
found
hanged
JACKSON, Ga. (AP) - An
inmate who said he feared for
his life, was found hanged in a
cell Saturday at the Georgia
Diagnostic Center in Jackson, a
spokeswoman for the Depart
ment of Offender Rehabilitation
said.
David Morton, 44, of Sylvania,
Ga., was found by a guard
Saturday morning, she said.
Morton was serving a two
year sentence for criminal at
tempt, a charge covering vari
ous offenses, the spokeswoman
said.
She said Morton feared for his
life because he had been in the
Georgia prison system before
and served as a “dog boy,” a
prisoner who chases escapees
with bloodhounds.
An autopsy will be performed
and an investigation held in the
incident, she said.

and that he hadn’t planned to
buy any land in the auction or
authorized anyone to purchase
land for him.
Most bidders admitted they
were putting high prices on the
land in hopes of profiting from
the land’s proximity to the
President’s home town. Local
farmers and real estate agents
estimated the farm value of the
land at $750 an acre.
Property belonging to another
of the President’s relatives,
brother-in-law Walter Spann, is
surrounded by the Cochran
farm.
Before the auction, Spann
said: “It looks like we’re going
to have new neighbors.”

Georgia Power asks
discounts for the poor
ATLANTA (AP) — The Geor
gia Power Co., which requested
a $197.6 rate hike Friday, has
asked the Public Service Com
mission to allow discount elec
tric charges for the poor.
“We understand that poor
people and people on fixed in
comes are having a hard time ..
. and we’re advocating an op
tional rate,” Georgia Power
President Robert Scherer said
Sunday.
Scherer, head of the largest
electric supplier in Georgia
with more than one million cus
tomers, said, however, that any
reduction in prices to the poor
would have to be accompanied
by further increases in charges
to Georgia Power’s other resi
dential users.
President Ngouabi
WASHINGTON (AP) — The assassination of President
Marien Ngouabi of the People’s Republic of the Congo
“appears to be a typical internal problem there,” CIA
director Stansfield Turner says.
Turner, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, that
it was “something handled by some people inside the
Congo” but added that “the evidence is very, very tenuous
and slim at this point."
He said he has begun “a careful review” of all covert
and clandestine activities being conducted by American
intelligence and declared, “There’s nothing illegal or im
proper going on at this time.”
Estimates show that 8 in 10
of all women visit a physician

four years.
Georgia voters will decide the
fate of such proposed con

year’s general election.
save as much as sls million in
the construction of a 1,000-
megawatt coal power plant,
represenatives of the Electric
Power Research Institute told
utility executives at a recent
Atlanta meeting.
The researchers also are
aiming to save money in its
search for a substance that
would keep woodpeckers away
from power line poles.
The company’s request Fri
day to the PSC for a rate hike
would mean an increase of
nearly 20 per cent to residential
customers, if approved.
“The cost is going to have to
be shifted elsewhere if we do
this (aid to the poor),” said
Scherer, who said the company
is suffering from rising costs.
Scherer said the proposal to
help the poor was included in
papers submitted with the PSC
along with the rate hike request.
Ben Wiggins, chairman of the
five-member PSC, said Sunday
the discount rates for the poor
“are something I’ve had in
mind for a long time. If it can be
legally done, I will do every
thing in my power to implement
it.”
