Page 6 — Griffin Daily News Tuesday, September 20,1977 Carter, Lance to reach a go or stay decision By W. DALE NELSON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - A de cision about whether Bert loanee stays on as President Carter’s budget director will be a “personal” one between two old friends, a White House spokesman says. White House Press Secretary Jody Powell said Monday that no decision on lance’s future seems to have been made yet, adding that he thought Carter and loanee would reach a deci sion together. Carter has said he will hold a news conference this week, but has not said when. The I>ance question could be expected to dominate any presidential news conference. The Senate Governmental Af fairs Committee ended its nine days of public hearings into I-ance’s finances on Monday. The chairman of the panel, Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, DConn., said he has “grave doubts” that the committee will issue a final report. Meanwhile, an Associated Press public opinion poll taken Monday night showed Ameri cans sharply divided over the affair. SMITH BROS. REALTY TO 630 W. Taylor St. LU Griffin.

Nearly 27 per cent expressed no opinion. And the nationwide telephone survey of 1,548 adults showed about 26 per cent of those inter viewed said their confidence in Carter’s keeping his promise to enforce high moral standards in government had decreased. Eight per cent said their con fidence had increased and 53 per cent said their opinion of Carter’s commitment to that promise was not affected by the Lance controversy. After adjourning the Senate committee’s investigation of on Monday, Ribicoff said he would call a closed-door meeting of the panel in two weeks or so to discuss what ac tion, if any, should be taken. Asked what options would be discussed at that time, he noted that "I don’t know what’s going to intervene between now and then.” who has insisted that he will not resign, met privately with Carter on Monday. Powell disclosed the meeting, but did not say who requested it or what was discussed. Powell also said he and presidential aide Hamilton Jordan discussed the Ixince affair with the Presi dent on Sunday night. Powell said White House offi cials felt Lance did well in his testimony before the Senate committee. A White House aide said Carter praised the former Georgia banker during Mon day’s Cabinet meeting. Carter reportedly spoke “very favorably” about Lance’s testimony and about “the way he conducted himself and the way he answered questions.” Meanwhile, Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., the only sen ator who voted against con firming Lance, said he is not as concerned about allegations concerning Lance’s conduct as a banker as he is about signs that isn’t doing his White House job. Proxmire, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, said, “All indications are that he has delegated virtually all authority to subordinates and really hasn’t taken charge at all.” t/gSg " j ‘ f Rep. Edward Koch kisses his campaign chairperson, former Miss America Bess Myerson, after he won a Democratic primary runoff handily Monday night in New York. (AP) Koch N. Y.’s Demo nominee By MARC ROSENWASSER Associated Press Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Rep. Edward Koch, a liberal who eased slightly to the right dur ing the campaign, has won the runoff for the Democratic nom ination to be the next mayor of Democrat-dominated New York. Koch defeated Mario Cuomo, New York’s secretary of state who had early backing from Gov. Hugh Carey. The governor indicated on the eve of Mon day’s runoff that he would back the winner provided he won by a substantial margin. “All of the people, people from every borough, must join together to rebuild New York,” Koch, a five-term Congress man, declared after capturing 55 per cent of the vote that all but assured his election as the SCLC praises Carter ATLANTA (AP) - The presi dent of the Southern Christian leadership Conference says the Carter administration has kept at least one of its promises to blacks by coming down on the side of affirmative action in a controversial case involving ra cial quotas and reverse dis crimination. The Rev. Joseph Lowery is sued a statement Monday com mending the administraton and Attorney General Griffin Bell “for reinforcing the nation’s commitment to affirmative ac tion by supporting the admis sions policy of the University of California-Davis Medical School which attempts to rectify historical neglect of blacks and other minorities.” The case involves Allan Paul Bakke, who sued after he was refused admission to the Cali fornia medical school. Bakke, who is white, charged that he was better qualified than some black applicants who were ac cepted but said he was denied admission because the school had to fill an arbitrary quota for black students. The case is now before the U.S. Supreme Court. Bell and other top U.S. Justice Department officials have signed a 74-page legal brief en dorsing affirmative action pro grams which take race into ac count. According to the brief, those programs are a legitimate way to overcome the effects of past discrimination. The brief followed much speculation and public concern by black leaders over what po sition the administration would take in the case. Lowery said that had the Jus tice Department filed a brief in agreement with Bakke, “the Carter Administration would have completely deserted the blacks that had supported it.” Mayor sentenced COLUMBUS, Ga.

Bethea was sen tenced Thursday in U.S. Dis trict Court by Judge J. Robert Elliott. city’s 105th mayor. About 800,- 000 Democrats voted. The 52-year-old bachelor from Greenwich Village reiterated a campaign theme that sacrifices must be made “to get the city back on its feet.” Early polls placed Koch sixth in a seven-way race in the regular primary on Sept. 8. But Koch, who represents the Silk Stocking district of Manhattan’s East Side that was also the home base of former mayor John Lindsay, and Cuomo fin ished ahead of the field, setting up the runoff because neither received at least 40 per cent of the vote. The 45-year-old Cuomo, who received the editorial endorse ment of The New York Times, will remain on the ballot in No vember as the Liberal party nominee. He told his dis appointed supporters: “It’s not over.” But Cuomo’s chances for vic tory in November, like those of Republican nominee Roy Good man and Conservative Barry Farber, are considered bleak at best. ;g /....../......... :£ BxW BETTER ft.
