in 38 Georgia counties have
been declared eligible for a fed
eral emergency livestock feed
program, it was announced
Tuesday.
A spokesman for Gov. George

Coke will not disclose
its secret drink formula
ATLANTA (AP) - The Coca-
Cola Co. says it will not turn
over its secret soft drink for
mula to the Indian government.
India’s Industry Minister,
George Fernandes, told the
parliament in New Dehli Mon
day that Coca-Cola has
achieved “runaway growth" in
India at the expense of Indian
bottlers.
He accused the Atlanta-based
company of squeezing profits of
up to 400 per cent out of local
bottlers and demanded that the
company turn over its “techni
cal know-how" and 60 per cent
control of its Indian operations
to an Indian company.
In a statement from its head
quarters here Tuesday, Coca-
Cola said it would not meet the
government’s demands because
they run contrary to the firm’s

ers were selling stock because
they were unable to pay feed
prices driven up by this sum
mer’s drought.
The spokesman said Carter
also extended the life of the
program in Georgia 90 days be
yond its scheduled termination
date to Dec. 1.
The spokesman said Busbee
had requested that the aid pro
gram be extended until April 1,

Coca-Cola is a popular drink
in India, selling for about 11.5
cents a bottle.
The company said it must

State
to sell
bonds
ATLANTA (AP) - The State
of Georgia hopes to finance six
projects by selling $76.8 million
in general obligation bonds this
month, the second time it has
issued bonds this fiscal year.
State Auditor William Nixon
said the bonds, authorized by
the legislature this year, will be
put up for bids Aug. 30.
About s4l million will go to
pay for construction of the new
“twin towers” complex for
state offices. About S2O million
will be used to finance two cor
rectional centers. About $4 mil
lion will be set aside for a
vocational-technical school in
Augusta, and $5 million will be
split between the Academy for
the Blind in Macon and the
School for the Deaf in Cave
Spring.
On July 1, Georgia sold $77.1
million in bonds to finance high
way construction and the
building of vocational and com
prehensive high schools.
That issue, which was
awarded to a consortium of
dealers represented by Citibank
and Chase Manhattan Bank,
cost the state 4.85 per cent in
terest.
Since that issue, interest rates
have risen slightly, but Nixon
said he could not predict what
rates will be required for the
Aug. 30 sale.
The legislature authorized
other bond issues for fiscal 1978,
but no definite plans have been
made for further sales, Nixon
said.
Canadian controllers ordered to work
OTTAWA, Canada (AP) -
The House of Commons early
today ordered Canada’s strik
ing air traffic controllers back
to work. Normal air service, all
but suspended for three days,
was expected to resume later in
the day.
The emergency back-to-work
legislation was passed over
whelmingly in the Commons
and was sent to the Senate for
its approval. Passage in that
largely powerless house and the
signature of Canada’s gover
norgeneral were considered
mere formalities.
The legislation also imposes a
7.4 per cent pay increase on the
government-employed control
lers, who wanted 12.6 per cent,
and calls for individual fines of
up to SIOO a day if they refuse to
return to work.
Leaders of the striking Cana
dian Air Traffic Control Associ
ation (CATCA) had said they
would urge members to go back
to their jobs if the bill was
enacted.
“Air Canada ... could have
aircraft aloft by noon,” a
spokesman for the airlines’ in
dustry association said early to
day. “And there might be some
going out bright and early, de
pending on local circum
stances.”
The legislation was passed in
the House of Commons by a vote
of 136 to 11. The ruling Liberals
and the major opposition party,
the Progressive Conservatives,
voted for the measure. Ten
