Tuition-free classes ATLANTA (AP) — The Geor gia Gerontology Society has asked the University System Board of Regents to revise its policy regarding tuition-free classes for the elderly. The board’s policy places too many restrictions on the law al lowing the elderly to attend uni versity system institutions, Richard Haimes, chairman of the GGS, said Wednesday. A constitutional amendment approved by voters in Novem ber said that persons over the age of 62 can attend classes Local legislators met Wednesday with Busbee at the request of a Hall County grand jury and presented him with copies of the grand jury presentment calling for a probe. without paying tuition, provided space is available. But in implementing the law, the regents approved a policy which requires the elderly to meet entrance requirements set for younger students. Haimes asked the board to waive some requirements, “based on individual circum stances,” and to allow the el derly to audit courses if they do not want to take them for credit. Charles T. Oxford, chairman of the regents, said the issue would be placed on the agenda for the board’s June meeting. Pretrial hearing resumes LAKELAND, Ga. (AP) - A long-delayed pretrial hearing in the case of a black man accused of killing a white south Georgia police officer was to resume today with the sixth judge presiding. Defense attorney Millard Farmer has subpoenaed Gov. George Busbee and two of Bus bee’s aides, William Harper and Tom Daniel, as well as Superior Court judges Dunbar Harrison of Savannah and Asa Kelley Jr. of Albany. Last week Busbee appointed Superior Court Judge John S. Langford of Atlanta to hear the case of Henry Willis of Moultrie, one of three men charged with murder and kidnap in the February 1976 slaying of Ray City Police Chief Ed Giddens. Langford was named to the case after Dist. Atty. Vickers Neugent of the Alapaha Judicial Circuit asked that Harrison be removed because of time spent on a defense motion that he be disqualified because of alleged racial bias. Kelley had been hearing that motion. Two other judges assigned to the case disqualified them selves, two stepped down after proceedings began and a fifth declined to serve because of a schedule conflict. After Busbee’s appointment of Harrison, Farmer questioned Busbee’s authority to “remove” a judge from a case. An aide to the governor said Harrison had asked that he be removed. Son H. Fleming, also of Moultrie, was convicted earlier this year of murder in the Gid dens case and sentenced to die in the electric chair. His nephew, Larry Donnell Fleming, faces murder and kid nap charges in the case but no trial date has been set. One-third have local option tax ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Gerald Thompson, president of the Georgia Municipal Association, said Wednesday that about one third of the state’s population lives in areas which have a 1 per cent local option sales tax. Thompson, mayor of fitz gerald, said he believes that when 50 per cent of the popu lation goes under this sales tax, a statewide increase may be able to replace the local refer endum necessary now to put it into effect. Addressing the 10th District GMA meeting, Thompson said such a move could eliminate ad valorem taxes in some cities and counties.

Plane lands safely Senate Republicans are reading counter to Carter’s energy plan WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen ate Republicans are ready to counter President Carter’s energy program with a major proposal of their own that seeks to increase U.S. energy produc tion by lifting price controls from oil and natural gas. The GOP energy “alterna tive,” expected to be backed to day by the Senate’s Republican membership, would allow ener gy companies to reap larger profits on domestic energy pro duction. But according to a draft of the proposal, these firms would be subject to a “windfall profits tax” unless they reinvested the added profits into finding and developing new oil and gas re serves. A copy of the draft was ob tained by The Associated Press. GOP leaders stress that the draft is not final and may be subject to last-minute changes. But Republican congressional sources say it is unlikely that the main elements of the pro posal will be modified. While the President’s propos al aims to reduce U.S. con sumption by taxing excessive use of scarce fuels, the proposed GOP plan would let energy prices rise without taxation in an effort to spur production. “Unwise government inter vention in the marketplace has been the major cause of supply shortages, unrealistic prices, excessive consumption and in creased dependence on foreign sources,” the draft asserts. But the proposed GOP plan also advocates energy con servation incentives similar to those in the adminstration plan, including tax breaks for those who install home insulation or solar energy units. And it calls for continued de velopment of the controversial breeder reactor program at Clinch River, Tenn., which the administration has proposed canceling. But it urges that a decision be delayed on whether technologies that use plutonium — such as the breeder reactor — should be used com mercially. The proposed plan also rec ommends that utilities wishing to convert from oil or gas to coal be given a five-year exemption from meeting federal clean air standards.

The plane, en route from Miami to New York, circled for an hour over the Gulf of Mexico while emergency crews from the airport and Mac Dill Air Force Base readied the runway. There were nine passengers and a crew of six on board. (AP) administration’s energy plan, which would continue price con trols on both gas and oil, fails to offer industry enough in centives to find new sources of energy. Such an incentive can only be provided by a “return to free market pricing,” says the GOP draft proposal. “The plan will call for a bal ance between strong con servation and strong produc tion” efforts, said Max Frie dersdorf, staff director for the Senate Republican Conference. Along with removal of price controls on oil and gas, the GOP plan would establish a windfall profits tax that “would be triggered only when producers fail to reinvest any excess revenues into expanded domes tic energy exploration and de velopment,” the draft says. ’7l CHEVELLE MALIBU $ lAQC 4 Door, sliver with black roof, auto., l*fvU PS, and air. ’7O FORD TORINO WAGON JIOOK Squire wagon, biege, auto., PS, PB, air, I AMU 8 pass. ’6B FORD MUSTANG SOOS Green, auto, radio and heater.
