Sunday, April 3 from 2 P.M. until 4 P.M. 509 West Taylor Street tial sedan entered the White House grounds, an alarm sys tem signaled the presence of an intruder in a wooded area some 100 yards away. Within minutes, uniformed White House police had seized a 26-year-old woman who some how had managed to scale the eight-foot-high wrought iron fence that surrounds the prop erty. Delores I. Bauer, of Bak ersfield, Calif., told officers she wanted to see the President, a Secret Service spokesman said. The woman, who was unarmed, was arrested and charged with unlawful entry. The Carters, who did not see the intruder, showed no dis position to hustle inside the house because of the incident. In fact, they paused momentar ily to look out across the south lawn, which faces the Was hington Monument, to watch police launch the search. The Carters had attended a National Theater performance of Eugene O’Neill’s play “Anna Christie” starring Liv Ullmann. It was their second cultural outing of the week. On Monday night the Carters attended a Washington National Symphony concert at the John F. Kennedy center conducted by Mstislav Rostropovich. After watching “Anna Christ ie,” the Carters greeted Ms. Ullmann and other members of the cast on stage behind the closed curtain. After offering con gratulations, Carter said he looked forward to seeing Ms. Ullmann at the White House today. She obviously was plan ning to pay a visit but seemed surprised that Carter intended to see her. She was not on his announced schedule. ‘Outhouse’ fire baffles firemen LITHONIA, Ga. (AP) - The DeKalb County fire department says it is baffled by a fire which destroyed a 30-year-old outhouse. The little red outhouse which sat in Charles Wilson’s back yard burned down several days ago, and Lt. Joe Foster says he’s stumped. “I don’t know how in the world the thing got started,” he said. But once it began, Mrs. Wil son said, it was not to be ex tinguished. “We were fighting it” with a garden hose, she said, but “it burnt to the ground." Foster said after sifting through the remains of the out house, he ruled out an electrical cause, since the Wilson outhouse, like most similar structures, is not wire for elec tricity. But said some fertilizer which was stored in the outhouse might be responsible for the blaze. Water might have seeped into the fertilizer, causing it to gen erate enough heat to ignite the outhouse, Foster said. Blitz’ sniffer too good SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - Having a wonder dog to sniff out illegal drugs can bring its headaches as well as its joys, Chatham County District Atty. Andrew J. Ryan 111 has found. Ryan says his office is too busy to prosecute 47 drug pos session cases stemming from the activities of Blitz, the coun ty’s pot-sniffing German Shep ard. He said Thursday that he has asked'U.S. Attorney Jackson B. Smith Jr. of Augusta to help his department prosecute persons caught with illegal drugs aboard Amtrak trains heading through Savannah. Ryan said that since Blitz sniffed out the drugs aboard a federal conveyance traveling interstate, the feds ought to handle the prosecutions.

No April’s Fool joke Tag deadline has passed ATLANTA (AP) - Many Georgia residents may think of themselves as April fools today as they stand in line on the last day for buying automobile li cense tags in Georgia. Tag offices around the state reported delays ranging from 30 minutes to two hours Thursday for motorists lining up to buy the tags. An estimated 10 to 15 per cent of the motorists in Clarke County had not purchased new tags by Thursday afternoon, of ficials there estimated. In Fulton County, tag sales through Thursday were about 16,000 fewer than for the same period last year, a spokesman said. The deadline for buying the tags officially comes at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, but for motorists attempting to buy tags in person, the deadline will fall whenever the local office closes today. The penalty for buying a late tag is 10 per cent of the ad valorem tax levied on the automobile, plus 25 per cent of the charge for the tag, plus sl. Georgia motorists must pay ad valorem taxes on their automobiles at the time they purchase their license tags. There’s another penalty for driving around without a cur rent tag — drivers in that situ ation could be charged with a misdemeanor bringing a fine of ‘Abduction’ puzzles sheriff ASHBURN, Ga. (AP) - Turner County Sheriff Lamar Whiddon said he was “at ropes end” Thursday night in the search for Candy Renee Town, 20, who allegedly was abducted while she and a friend were hitchhiking. The friend, C. W. Depper, told police a man who had picked them up drove off with Miss Town after Depper got out of the automobile to check a tire. Police said Depper and Miss Town, both of Atlanta, were hitchhiking home from Florida on Wednesday when they were picked up in Tifton by an unidentified man. Depper said the man told the couple he would take them as far as Macon, but turned east onto Georgia 32 in Turner County, saying he had friends to visit. Whiddon said Depper told po lice that the man stopped the car in Irwinville and asked Depper to get out and check for a flat tire, then drove away. The sheriff said neither the man nor Miss Town have been seen or heard from since the Wednesday morning incident. “We’re just looking and wait ing,” he said. Depper was picked up by a sheriff’s patrol car and stayed at the jail until early Thursday when he left to hitchhike to At lanta, deputies said. Officers said the man who picked up the hitchhikers was driving a brown, 1965 Pontiac Bonneville with a Georgia li cense tag. Whiddon described Miss Town as being medium height, weighing about 120 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. around S2O to $25, depending on the judge. But state patrol Capt. W. F. Richardson said troopers are instructed to be careful about writing such charges in order to “give everyone the benefit of the doubt.” Many counties allow motor ists to apply for their tags by W FRI.,SAT., sun. only A h«t wr.
