Princess gives birth to a son LONDON (AP) — Princess Anne gave birth to a 7 pound 9 ounce boy this morning, a day after her fourth wedding anni versary, and the baby’s grand mother Queen Elizabeth II made the first announcement of his birth. Arriving 10 minutes late for an investiture at Buckingham Palace, the queen told the crowd awaiting her: “I apologize for being late but I have just had a message from the hospital. My daughter has just given birth to a son.” Both the 27-year-old princess and the baby were reported “fine.” The queen’s gynecologist, George Pinker, had been called to the palace at 4 a.m. when Anne went into labor. After a quick examination, Anne’s hus band, Capt. Mark Phillips, drove her in their Rover sedan to St. Mary’s Hospital in West London. The baby was bom at 10:46 a.m. Phillips, who had been present during the delivery, telephoned the queen, who talked to her daughter and then went to the investiture. The baby is the queen’s first grandchild and is fifth in the line of succession to the throne, after the queen’s three sons and Why it pays to sell your home through a Realtor.

But since any sons bom to his three uncles will take precedence ahead of his mother, his chances of oc cupying the throne are remote. The baby is also the first grandchild of a ruling British sovereign to be born without a title. The palace made clear that his commoner father would not be given the courtesy title that in the past has been traditional on the birth of such royal babies, and Anne’s title of princess confers no titles on her children. The nalace gave no reason for Investors interested in peace between President Carter, Burns NEW YORK (AP) - If you judge by the stock market, in vestors are much more inter ested in peace between Presi dent Carter and the Federal Reserve System than in the the break with tradition, but it was another step by the queen away from the pomp and cir cumstance of the past. The queen was the only mem ber of Anne’s immediate family in London for the birth. Her father, Prince Philip, was visiting relatives in Germany and the news was telephoned to him there. Her older brother, Prince Charles, was visiting friends in the north of England, and her two younger brothers, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, were away at school. dubious fate of the two-martini lunch. Seeking to erase publicly recorded admissions of dis agreements with Arthur Burns, Fed chairman, the President told Americans they had it all wrong and that he and Burns really saw eye to eye. Analysis That news didn’t even have to be digested by Wall Street — and perhaps it is just as well, because the chairman and the President do have very obvious differences — before prices shot up. So did volume. To attribute the big increase — 27.46 points on the Dow Jones industrial average on just Thursday and Friday of last week — might seem to over state the importance of good relations between Bums and Carter. But maybe not. Arthur Burns has become a symbol to the business commu nity. He is trusted as the man who can speak conservatism without embarrassment.

Carter supports diluted employment legislation WASHINGTON (AP) - Spon sors of “full-employment” leg islation, holding a fresh en dorsement from President Car ter, are hoping for swift con gressional action on a diluted bill that sets a goal of cutting Polk school to fight HEW’s racism charge ATLANTA (AP) - Polk County school officials say they will fight any U.S. Department of Health, Education and Wel fare charges of racism in the system’s hiring and promotion policies. The northwest Georgia school system favored white employ ees over blacks, according to a report scheduled to be released today by HEW’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR). flag over inflation and waste and deficit spending. From their point of view he is a realist. He believes that we cannot emerge from economic malaise without making it ad vantageous to invest in Ameri can industry. He knows in vestors abhor confusion, dis unity and indecision. He has power. His influence over the money supply and in terest rates is greater than the president’s. He can therefore quite literally challenge the president’s economic policies if he feels they are ill-advised. He does not flaunt that power but he doesn’t shrink from using it either. He isn’t afraid to speak out, and in recent weeks he has done so forcefully, about his disbelief in Carter’s ability to lower inflation and unem ployment, for example. He has also criticized Carter’s energy policy and the ad ministration’s consideration of an end to the capital gains tax advantages. The latter, he said, would be “most unfortunate.” Business people appreciate another of Burns’ criticisms, DOCTORS! • The latest provisions of • the Keogh Act for self- • employed persons allow • you to defer Federal in- • come taxes each year on J as much as 15% of your Z earned income up to a Z maximum of $7500 when Z you put this income to Z work to build your own Z .retirement plan.

If there is any doubt that the words the chairman speaks are not also the words of business, one has only to read the mes sages of bank letters, stock market advisories, economic newsletters and the like. With Bert Lance gone from Washington, many people in the business community have ral lied behind Burns. He has be come their hope, but an almost forlorn one until last week. Burns, you see, was due to go, they felt. His term as chairman was up, and while he could continue after Jan. 31 as a board member, he hardly would have the clout he used to have. He would be a hero without power. But, if there is genuine peace between Burns and Carter, there might even be a new term for the chairman. a rob JI were ® $ /I oo sSll You Save $1.58 3=ll ° ne Hi Per ! „ r i 21st ialtyi gal EPwWWI Vt M—W —— w w W —— W — — ******* ** ***** *** ***. Page 7 the unemployment target. It also does not require the administration to take specific steps to meet the goal. A House labor subcommittee plans to begin hearings either later this year or early in 1978 on the bill, a spokesman said. An aide to one congressional backer said sponsors “foresee the bill passing in 1978.” The two sponsors of the origi nal bill, Sen. Hubert H. Humph rey, D-Minn, and Rep. Augustus Hawkins, D-Calif., issued a joint statement predicting favorable congressional action. “This legislation is of great importance to every Ameri can,” they said. “We are grate ful to the president and his ad visers for the priority assigned to developing an agreement and for the cooperative manner in which the discussions were carried out.” AFL-CIO President George Meany called Carter’s declara tion of support Monday “a com mitment to full employment that we welcome.” But he added that “a goal, without fol lowup action, would be mean ingless.” But the chief U.S. Chamber of Commerce economist said the president was recommending a policy “that will add to inflation and the size of the federal government.” Jack Carlson said the bill’s goals are “unattainable without causing double-digit inflation.” Carter conceded that the 1983 goal of cutting joblessness to 4 percent overall and 3 percent for adults may be very tough to meet. “But setting our sights high challenges us to do our very best," he said in a state ment. Unemployment has been run ning at 7 percent of the total work force but has been much higher for young workers, in cluding black youths. Earlier versions of the bill called for reducing unemploy ment to 3 percent within four years — one year less than the revised bill allows. They also called for government public service jobs as a last resort for adults unable to find work else where. -Griffin Daily News Tuesday, November 15,1977 Allen E.
