The governor said he may appoint an interim superinten dent to serve until he makes his choice. In response to a question, Busbee said he believes the United States must cooperate with other nations in developing alternative sources of energy. Energy programs in the United States are too frag mented, as is cooperation in re search among countries, he said. “I don’t think anyone is deal ing effectively with energy," he said. Busbee praised federal ener gy chief James Schlesinger and said Congress and the nation need “leadership in an individ ual such as Dr. Schlesinger.” The governor said he would be reluctant to recommend decriminalization of marijuana in Georgia despite President Carter’s decision to recommend decriminilazation at the federal level. “I realize it’s terrible to see a child or adult arrested for a small amount of marijuana”. to give them a (criminal) record,” the governor said. But he said he had seen drug abuses in his long practice and “without exception every one I saw started out with mari juana.” Noting reports of an increase in highway deaths in Georgia this year, Busbee said he is “distressed" but he does not believe additional state patrol men will solve the problem. State Public Safety Director Herman Cofer said Wednesday that additional troopers could help cut down the highway death toll. “The people of Georgia can not support this kind of loss of life. Neither can they support financially a trooper behind ev ery car for enforcement," Bus bee said. “What can be done is to appeal for the cooperation of the Georgia motorists to obey our speed limits and drive so berly." The governor announced that Georgia will receive grants to taling $602,000 from the Depart ment of Labor to operate an employment program for senior citizens. He also announced the ap pointment of Col. Joseph M.

Gordon said the case centered around the reported discovery of a jar containing 111 gold coins inside the remains of a chimney at the site of a house first owned by the Adams family. The jar was discovered, he said, by Joe Payne of Royston, who showed the treasure to his employer, J. R. Davison. He said the pair, thinking they had legal rights to the money, told “folks all over Royston” about the discovery. However, Gordon said, Geor gia’s treasure trove law pro vides that the finder of a treas ure has rights to the loot over everyone except the rightful Farm Bureau meet is soon The annual meeting of the Pike County Farm Bureau will be August 11 in the Pike High cafeteria.

Adams died in 1957. At the trial, Payne and Davi son argued that the treasure did not exist and that Payne had concocted the tale to attract girls and to draw help to clean out the old homesite. Although Mrs. Strickland said she did not see her father hide the coins, she testified that she knew her father built the chim ney in which the coins were al legedly found.
