(AP) — The South must guard against “punitive” legislation in Congress designed to slow the region’s industrial growth and block further entry into in ternational banking circles, Gov. George Busbee said Wednesday. Busbee blamed the efforts of northern interests concerned that the South is “taking their industry." “We are not taking their in dustry,” Busbee told the Wash ington County Chamber of Commerce. “All the expansion is coming here, but it is coming here be cause we had people who want ed it to come here. We recognize that you can have economic development and you can protect the environment. We work with the industries. We Could cost taxpayers Carter approves subsidies of ailing sugar industry WASHINGTON (AP) - Agri culture Department officials say President Carter’s decision approving subsidies for the ail ing domestic sugar industry could cost taxpayers up to $250 million a year. But Carter’s decision, an nounced Wednesday, isn’t ex pected to cause an increase in the price of sugar in stores. The subsidy payments will be coming directly from the Treasury Department, officials say. $ Get Your Mother ty A Hippopotamus For Mother's Day The Plant Emporium h Has Everything m) 125 W.

We are not going to succumb to any pressures when it comes to being treated fairly. All we want is fair and equitable treatment.” He cited an environment pro tection amendment offered by Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-Maine, as a proposal that would have an adverse affect on southern industrial development. Anoth er proposal would adversely af fect the South by restricting in ternational banking. "We are going to continue this growth, and I don’t think we are Carter approved subsidies of up to two cents a pound, with payments to farmers to start whenever the market price of sugar falls below 13.5 cents a pound. If the price falls to 11.5 cents or below, farmers will qualify for the full two-penny subsidy. If it falls to 12.5 cents a pound, the subsidy will be one cent.

Sugarman, the former top staff man in the Atlanta city government, has been nomi nated by President Carter to a seat on the three-member Civil Service Commission. Carter said Wednesday that he plans to name Sugarmman vice chairman of the com mmission if the appointment is confirmed by the Senate.

He has since worked as an assist ant to the current chairman of the Civil Service Commission. Sugarman said Carter noti fied his nominees for commis sion positions that he “wants a top-to-bottom look at the federal personnel system." Ex-Chancellor Erhard dies By DAVID MINTHORN Associated Press Writer BONN, West Germany (AP) — Former Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, who fashioned West Germany’s postwar “economic miracle” but was forced from office by a recession, died early today at the age of 80. The portly, cigar-smoking Erhard, whose appearance re flected the prosperity his pol icies fostered, had been in de clining health for months. He was hospitalized in March after an automobile accident in Duesseldorf, where he was at tending a convention of the Christian Democratic Union. Although Erhard served three years as chancellor, his most notable achievements came during his 15 years as West Germany’s chief economist — first as adviser to the British and American occupation forces and then as economy minister under Chancellor Kon rad Adenauer. His rise to prominence began in June, 1948, when, against the advice of the Allies and other German politicians, he reval ued the deutschmark and ended rationing and other economic Chattahoochee dams gets support ATLANTA (AP) — A propos al to build another dam on the Chattahoochee River to meet Atlanta’s anticipated water needs by the year 2000 gained further support at a public hearing Wednesday, but con servation advocates stepped up their criticism of the plan. Cecil Phillips of the Georgia Conservancy said that “no rea sonable alternative has been of fered” among proposals for a change in the management of Lake Lanier and the Chat tahoochee. He said none of the alternatives assigns value to fish and wildlife downstream. The alternatives under dis cussion were drafted by the Metropolitan Atlanta Water Re sources Study Group in con nection with a restudy of Lake Lanier by the Corps of Engi neers. The corps held public hear ings in Atlanta Wednesday and in Gainesville Tuesday. All alternatives except one call for changes in the flow of water from Buford Dam. The exception calls for the im poundment of streams other than the Chattahoochee in the Atlanta area to provide addi tional water supplies. The proposal for a new dam on the Chattahoochee was en dorsed Wednesday by the Cobb- Marietta Water Authority, as well as by the Metropolitan At lanta Water Managers Associ ation and the Atlanta Regional Commission. Many north Georgians sup ported proposals for the second dam at the Gainesville hearing. The cost of the dam, which would be built about six miles below Buford Dam near the Fulton-Forsyth County line, is estimated at >11.5 million. controls. The moves, plus the massive infusion of American economic aid and the hard work of the German people, revived the de feated country’s economy. Pro duction doubled within a year, and eventually the nation that lost the war became the strong est in Western Europe. In 1949, at the formation of the Federal Republic of Germany, Erhard became economy minister in Adenauer’s first cabinet and held the post until Oct. 16,1963, when he succeeded Adenauer despite the old chancellor’s opposition. But by the time Erhard took over the government, the boom had slowed down, and the coali tion of conservative Christian Democrats and liberal Free Democrats held together by the iron-willed Adenauer was com- 11 ’i j ' JHnihF 88 • 11 1 88 wWf / ///II I I \ \ \ \ 800 I ’ IF i MOOT ////II I l i * * * 800 i 11 | ~ Ofiv mq 11 1 ! j MT |j|F Dial 227-3276 F (IWII’FIN hF I)\l LA ?

Erhard’s critics accused him of indecisiveness in a succes sion of crises, and he resigned in December, 1966, after the Free Democrats bolted the coalition because he planned to raise taxes despite the recession. Erhard was succeeded by Kurt Georg Kiesinger, who formed a new coalition of Christian Democrats and Social Democrats. A firm friend of the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Erhard worked for an Atlantic partner ship that would bring the United States and Europe closer together and resisted efforts by French President Charles de Gaulle for a more restrictive European policy. The son of a poor shopkeeper, Erhard was born Feb. 4,1897 in Fuerth, a city in northern Ba varia. He studied at universities in Frankfurt and Nuernberg, where he earned a doctorate in economics. In 1924 he joined the Nuernberg Commercial Institute but was fired 18 years later for refusing to join a Nazi labor movement. He later established his own marketing research firm. Erhard was elected in 1949 to the first Bundestag, the lower house of Parliament, and was still a member when he died. After his retirement from the government, he was a member of the board of directors of a number of investment com panies. He was married in 1923 to Luise Lotter, his childhood sweetheart. They had a daugh ter and two grandchildren, both girls.
