—Griffin Daily News Thursday, September 29, 1977 Page 20 Jimmy’s White House President avoiding publicity concerning Lance affair By FRANK CORMIER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Three small incidents added up this week to a large suggestion that President Carter, at least for now, is done with publicly embracing Bert loanee. On Monday, when the resign ed director of the Office of Management and Budget re turned to Washington for a quick round of farewells, there were these companion develop ments: —The White House revealed, but only in response to ques tions, that loanee had left the federal payroll two days ear- Henry Co. to look at local option sales tax McDonough, Ga. Representative Ray M. Tucker, in a letter to the Henry County Commissioners, reminded that ad valorem tax relief is available through imposition of a local option sales tax. Representative Tucker sent along a chart indicating tax reductions for the county and its four incorporated communities amounted to $702,613 based upon 1976 revenues. In the letter addressed to Commissioner Chairman Frank Tingle, Rep. Tucker said, "I regretted to learn that the Commissioners, at a recent meeting, drastically increased millage rates. It seems to me that alternatives might have been considered, possibly a more gradual increase or a local option sales tax. •'ln 1975, we, in the General Assembly, passed and the Governor signed into law, a bill providing that the governing authority of each county is empowered to Impose a sales and use tax at the rate of 1 percent, subject to the requirement of a referendum election by the people.” The Tucker letter further stated that while no claims were made regarding the inclinations of Henry Countlans to pass a local option sales tax, he felt it incumbent upon the governing officials to provide citizens that opportunity.

A spokesman said Carter had written his friend a person al letter that would not be made public. —A handful of reporters were invited to Lance’s old office at 3:30 p.m. that day to attend a farewell reception he gave for friends, acquaintances and erstwhile employes. However, uniformed police of the Executive Protective Service, which guards the White House complex, barred the invited reporters from entering, saying they had not been cleared through proper security channels. The reporters finally were admitted shortly after 4 p.m. — after Carter and wife Rosalynn ended their 20-minute stay at the reception. —Later, a Lance emissary passed word to news organ izations that the presidential presence at the Lance party had been recorded by White House staff photographers, who might be prepared to release photos for publication. But calls to the White House produced word that the photos had been taken “for historical purposes only” and would not be made public. But perhaps all this was noth ing more than coincidence. As for Carter’s letter last Sat urday in which the President privately accepted Lance’s res ignation, effective im mediately, there was cause to wonder Monday what had happened to it. Robert Dietsch, the OMB’s top spokesman, said he asked about it and was told the letter had not been received. Inasmuch as the Carter letter had to travel only about the length of a football field, from the Oval Office to the OMB di rector’s office next door, there was speculation that the Presi dent had disdained the inter office mail system in favor of the Postal Service. Carter’s emotional trauma at presiding over the departure of his friend was evident to anyone who watched the televised news conference at which the Lance resignation was announced. Unnoticed, perhaps, was Car ter’s impatience at ending the news conference ordeal, which produced nothing but questions about Lance. After the session had been in progress about 35 minutes, the President looked at his wristwatch and an nounced, “Thank you very much.” Then he strode from the room, abandoning his custom of engaging in departing small talk with reporters in the front rows. Os course, Carter also aban doned the tradition of waiting for the senior wire service re porter to end the conference by shouting, “Thank you, Mr. President.” The last time a President did not wait for a press corps “thank you” was when Richard M. Nixon, barraged with ques tions about Watergate, cut short a news conference in 1973. ■* The hard way SAXONBURG, Pa.—Ed Lachendro, mascot for Knoch High School in Saxonburg, Pa., tries his hand at getting a cool drink recently during a refreshing 20-0 football victory over Northgate High.

Employees In the Mc- Donough Federal Build ing, were greeted Wednesday morning by an unusual warning sign taped to the front door. The sign, written by the night janitor read, "Danger.

Seeing the reptiles, the janitor jumped on top of another nearby desk. When the snakes crawled out of sight, the janitor jumped onto the floor and ran to the Henry County Police Department. He ex plained the situation to Officer Eddie Wilson, who called McDonough Police. Inside the building, Sergeant Goins and Of ficer Farlow found one of the snakes crawling around the front door. Sergeant Goins killed the snake by taking the janitor’s push broom apart and jamming the sharp edge against the snake’s head. “The snake, which was about two feet long, is believed to be a rattle snake," the sergeant said. "We looked throughout the building, but were unable to locate the other one. It could have gone to the boiler room, the lowest place in the building where It Is moist," he continued. Since the second snake was not located and the sergeant also believes there could be - more inside the building, the janitor was advised to call an exterminator.
