Fire chief

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Athens
Fire Chief Tom Eberhart isn’t
asking for more men to fight
fires. He just wants a computer.
A computer “would be a defi
nite asset to the city, but a lot of
work would have to be done,’’
Eberhart said.
He said buildings in the city
would have to be surveyed and
the information fed into the
computer.
Then, when an alarm
sounded, the computer would
tell exactly where the fire was,
what type of structure was
burning, how many persons
might be in it, the exact location
and size of the nearest water
supply and if there were any
special hazards in the building.
Last year the department re
sponded to 2,130 alarms in
which nearly $2 million in dam
age was reported.

reached in another five years.
“I would estimate that our
project of producing the best we
can in a catfish, one which will
gain the most weight for the
amount of food he eats, is about
half complete,” said Dr.
Thomas K. Hill, a biologist and
professor at the Fisheries Fa
cilities of the Coastal Plains
Experiment Station.
“It should take another five
years for us to come up with the
ultimate catfish,” he added.
Hill said researchers have
found that catfish breed well in
10-gallon milk cans.
“I guess that can is just as
good for them as a hollow log on
a river bed—or better,” he said.
The size of fish a farmer
raises depends on which market
the fanner wants to deal with.
“The processors, the ones
who dress and freeze the fish for
the supermarkets and fish
stores, want a fish that dresses
out at about a pound,” Hill said.
“But the catfish restaurants
want a smaller fish.”
Hill said fish at the station
gain about one pound of weight
for every one and a half pounds
of feed. Researchers have been
able to cut the ration of feed to
fish size by selective breeding.
“We’d like to get that down to
1.1 pounds of feed, and we think
it is possible,” he said.
Involvement
in Oman
protested
ATLANTA (AP) — About 200
persons marched around the
state Capitol Thursday, protest
ing America’s involvement in
the Persian Gulf country of
Oman.
The demonstrators, many of
them Iranians, chanted and
carried signs which said, “U.S.
Out of Persian Gulf,” and
“Shah’s Troops Out of Oman.”
A spokesman said the protest,
one of a series throughout the
nation, was to condemn U.S.
support of the Shah of Iran, who
controls Oman,' a tiny country
on the Persian Gulf.
“Being totally defeated in In
dochina, the U.S. monopolies
have placed all their hopes on
• the Persian Gulf,” said a state
ment distributed by the demon
strators, who said they were
members of the Iranian Stu
dents Association.
The statement also accused
the media of a news blackout on
activites in the country, which
has a population of about
200,000.
House to reconsider government
role in funding legal abortions
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
House is preparing to reconsid
er the federal government’s
role in funding abortions after
voting to prevent the use of tax
money to finance crosstown
busing of school children.
By a margin of 225-157, the
House sought Thursday to pre
vent the use of federal funds to
pay for busing in school dis
tricts that merge, pair or clus
ter their schools under deseg
regation orders from the De
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare.
Amendments on abortion, af
firmative action and other sen
sitive issues were likely to come
up today as the House resumed
consideration of a $61.3 billion

appropriation bill for the
departments of Labor and
HEW.
The busing amendment, pro
posed by Rep. Ronald Mottl, D-
Ohio, strips HEW of the power
to enforce the 1964 Civil Rights
Act provision barring dis
crimination on the basis of race,
religion, color or creed.
It prevents the use of funds to
bus pupils to any school other
than the one nearest their home.
Opponents of the amendment
argued it would not affect court
ordered busing. They also said
the subject was an in
appropriate topic for debate
during discussion of a funding
bill.
The expected debate on abor
tion centers on whether federal
marriages between members of
the same sex “contrary to the
divine plan,” but offers
“Christian help and counsel” to
assist homosexuals in changing
their ways.
Floor debate on the two
homosexuality proposals is ex
pected to come on Wednesday
or Thursday of the week-long
session.
The 410 voting delegates rep
resenting Presbyterians in 16
southern states will also have
before them a 25-page study

analyzing the church’s alterna

funds should be used to pay for
such operations. The bill calls
for prohibiting the use of federal
money for abortions except
when a woman’s life is in dan
ger, a position opponents say
denies poor women abortions.
Last year’s bill contained
similar language and is being
appealed in court to test its
constitutionality.
The affirmative action
amendment would bar hiring or
admissions quotas based on
race or sex. Opponents claim it
would undermine guarantees
against discrimination con
tained in civil rights legislation.
In addition to the questions on
social isses, the appropriations
measure is controversial
because of differences over
money.
members instead of a statement
from the assembly, but it does
present a judgment that
Christians should advocate and
defend homosexuals’ equal
rights and protection from so
cial and economic dis
crimination.
A Miami ordinance protecting
homosexuals from dis
crimination in housing and em
ployment was repealed earlier
this month after a well-publi
cized drive led by Anita Bryant
and cheered by many church
groups.
The Southern Baptist Con
vention voted Thursday in Kan
sas City to commend Miss
Bryant’s campaign.
The House Democratic lead
ership has President Carter’s
support for the bill, despite
Carter’s opposition to two pro
grams.
The President at one time had
suggested he might veto the bill
if it called for more spending
than he favored.
But under a compromise ar
ranged between the White
House and the House leadership
in recent days, Carter has
agreed to drop his threat to veto
the House bill if no costly
amendments are added and if
the House works toward phas
ing out programs he opposes.
The programs opposed by
Carter call for aid to school dis
tricts in areas with large feder
al installations and for a na
tional direct student loan pro
gram.
Including the programs in the
bill raised the measure’s cost to
$740 million above Carter’s
request, but SIO.B billion below
last year’s appropriation.

Edsel B. Ford II
NEW YORK (AP) - Edsel B. Ford 11, 28-year-old great
grandson of the founder of Ford Motor Co., marked the
firm’s 75th anniversary by leading a nostalgic motorcade
of shiny vintage autos down lower Broadway.
Mayor Abraham Beame accompanied Ford on the
noonhour cavalcade Thursday in a 1911 Model T Ford
touring car.
As auto buffs watched the dozen gleaming ancient
autos, spectators lining the six-block route from City Hall
to Liberty Street cheered a 1916 doubledecker Fifth
Avenue bus laden with passengers.
After the motorcade reached Liberty Street, Beame,
Ford and other officials attended a luncheon at the New
York Chamber of Commerce.
Don Boltes widow
PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) — The widow of Arizona
Republic investigative reporter Don Bolles, whose death
from a car bombing triggered a lengthy investigation by
reporters, will marry a Phoenix insurance executive.
Court records revealed that Rosalie Bolles, 37, and
Donald Alexander, 41, took out a marriage license June 9.
Alexander confirmed that he and Mrs. Bolles will be
married Saturday in Phoenix, but declined to give further
details.
Bolles, 47, was fatally wounded June 2, 1976, when a
bomb triggered by remote control exploded beneath his
car at a midtown hotel. He had been lured to the hotel by a
promise of information on land fraud involving prominent
Arizona politicians. Bolles died June 13.
John Harvey Adamson, 33, a dog breeder and han
dyman, later admitted placing the bomb was sentenced to
20 years in prison in exchange for testimony against two
alleged confederates, both of whom are to be tried on first
degree murder charges next month.
Anita Bryant
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Anita Bryant’s arrival Friday
for a concert is such a well-kept secret that even the
manager of the performance says he doesn’t know when
she is getting here or where she is staying.
Pat Twoley, manager of the annual Summer Pops
concerts, said Thursday that Miss Bryant’s arrival and
her hotel are not being disclosed “for security reasons.”
Church groups backing the Florida singer’s stand on
homosexuality plan a rally outside the hall where she is to
perform Friday night, while homosexuals say they will
demonstrate before her Saturday show.
Idi Amin
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Ugandan President Idi Amin
claims that 19 Britons carried him on their shoulders for
11% miles on his way to a meeting in the capital of
Kampala.
The original plan was for the bearers to carry him for 25
miles, according to a speech by Amin carried by official
Radio Uganda. There was no confirmation of the report.
A military spokesman quoted earlier by Radio Uganda
said the Britons would carry the burly dictator to
demonstrate solidarity with the people of Uganda.
