ATLANTA (AP) - The
Southeast is expected to receive
nearly 3.7 million new jobs by
1985, the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics said Monday.
The bureau said the number
of jobs would rise 26.6 per cent
between 1974 and 1985.
Employment nationally is ex
pected to rise 20.3 per cent.
Preliminary projections show
there will be 17.5 million jobs in
the eight-state southern region
by 1985 — up from 1974’s figure
of 13.9 million, said Donald M.
Cruse, the bureau’s regional
manager.
All eight states are expected
to need more workers.
About 75 per cent of the new
jobs are expected to be in serv-

Griffin made the comment

Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., which
was aired Monday night on
Georgia educational television.
“It’s not that they’re (DEA)
not doing a good job because
they are," Bell said, adding that
a merger of the two agencies
could “enhance” the fight

Within the services in

the proposal. “Right now , I’m

to hear murder case
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - A
jury of eight women and four
men has been chosen for the
Chatham Superior Court mur
der trial of Albert Kenny Dick
ey, charged with the slaying of a
service station attendant.
The jury was empanelled
Monday to hear the case against
the 22-year-old Port Wentworth
man, charged with murder,
armed robbery, auto theft and a
firearms violation in the slaying
of Michael Wayne Hilton, 19, of
Garden City. Authorities said
Hilton was abducted from a
Port Wentworth service station
Feb. 9. His body was found the•
next day.

He said the merger of the two
agencies, with the possible
addition of ATF would mean
17,000 persons in the agencies
would be working on the drug
problem instead of the 4,000
currently employed by the
DEA. But Bell added, “We have
to very careful about it (a
merger). It has to be studied.”
Bell conceded that the prob
lems of reorganizing the two
agencies could slow down drug
enforcement and also noted that
the different regulations and
personnel requirements of the
two agencies could hamper a
merger.

Organized crime figure
in Atlanta increases
ATLANTA (AP) — The num
ber of organized crime figures
in the Atlanta area rose from
225 in 1975 to 500 in 1976, ac
cording to a report by the
Georgia Organized Crime Pre
vention Council.
The report also says the num
ber of big-time auto theft rings
in metropolitan Atlanta grew to
19 from about 10 or 12 in 1975.
Few of the organized crime
figures are members of alleged
Mafia families, the report said.
The council defined them as
“the local home-grown variety”

The council report does
claim, however, that members
of 10 to 12 Mafia families are in
the area.
Figures from the unreleased
report were contained in a fed
eral grant application by the
City of Atlanta.
While the Atlanta police de
partment has reported steady
declines in major crime, it has
asked for more than $500,000 in
federal money to establish an
organized crime unit and a ma
jor fraud unit to fight white col
lar crime.
The council’s chairman, De-
Kalb County Police Chief F.D.
Hand, said the report was not
officially released because it
had not been seen by Gov.
George Busbee, to whom the
council answers.
Hand said crime is “definitely
a serious problem,” but the
Atlanta area is "generally in
pretty good shape in our efforts
to deal with it.”
