Sen. Talmadge Seeks Changes
In Food Stamp Eligibility
WASHINGTON, D. C. U.
S. Senator Herman E.
Talmadge said this week
abuses in the food stamp
program are largely the
result of mismanagement as
well as basic faults in the law
itself.
The Georgia Senator said
the food stamp law has been
amended to include deduc
tions that “really got it up to
where people above the
poverty level under certain
conditions” are eligible for
the program.
“That, to my way of
thinking, is wrong,” Senator
Talmadge said in a radio
interview taped for broad

according tQ Southern Bell
District Manager Bill
Byram.
“On this date,” he said, “in

Alexander Graham Bell and
Thomas Watson successfully
tested a ‘gallows-type’ tele
phone. The one drawback to
the experiment was that the
instrument transmitted only
recognizable speech sounds,
Flynt Votes
Against
Congress Hike
WASHINGTON, D.C.
“At a time when The
Congress is expecting every
one else to bite the economic
bullet, we should be setting
an example by doing a little
bullet biting ourselves.” It
was with those words today
that Sixth District Congress
man John J. Flynt, Jr.
commented on his vote
Wednesday against two
measures which will in
crease benefits to members
of the United States House of
Representatives.
“It is irresponsible for The
Congress to increase its own
spending while at the same
time blaming the rising cost
of government on other
branches of government.
The Congress has the
responsibility of represent
ing the people and I don’t
think the people will stand for
continued Congressional
spending in light of current
economic conditions,” Ren.
Flynt continued.
In the vote last Wednesday
the House of Representatives
passed the 1976 Legislative
Appropriations Act. Included
in the bill were provisions to
increase staff allowances for
the House of Representatives
and increased travel allow
ances for members along
with other miscellaneous
benefits at government ex
pense. Amendments were
proposed to strike the added
allowances from the bill, but
both amendments were de
feated. Rep Flynt voted for
the amendments which
sought to delete the addition
al allowances and thereby
voted against increased
Congressional spending.
“The Congress must take a
realistic look at the money it
is spending on itself if it is
going to effectively reduce
spending in the Executive
Department. I intend to vote
for substantial reductions in
appropriation bills that will
come before us in the coming
months. I made a start on
this by voting for substantial
reductions in our own
appropriations.”

cast over 125 stations
throughout the state.
“People who have the ability
to buy their own food should
not expect the government to
buy it for them.”
He said he hoped the
Senate Committee on Agri
culture and Forestry, of
which he is Chairman and
which has food stamp
legislative oversight, would
act to “correct these ex
cesses,” but he warned that
the Senate, “being what it is,
may make it worse.”
He also urged that state
and local officials be “more
careful” in the future in
certifying food stamp eligi
and not intelligible speech.
The day before, the twang of
a reed was transmitted over
a harmonic telegraph wire
and confirmed Bell’s speech
transmission theory.
“For the next six months,”
he added, “Bell continued to
experiment with the ‘gal
lows-type’ and other forms of
magnetic transmitter tele
phone-reed receiver. In Feb
ruary 1876, Bell filed his
patent application and, at the
same time, began his
experiments with variable
resistance transmitters.”
Bell’s first telephone
patent was issued on March
7, 1876. “Three days later,”
Byram said, “the transmis
sion of the first intelligible
sentence was made by

Also discussing the use of
United States’ force to secure
the return from Cambodia of
the seized U.S. merchant
ship, Senator Talmadge said
that was the only alternative
that the President had. “But

A BONA FIDE BEAUTY SPOT - One of the most
attractive residences in Jackson is the home of Dr. and Mrs. Tom O’Dell at 265 McCaskill
Drive. Until only a few weeks ago it was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hal Summers and family for
whom the house was built. The lawn, flowers, shrubs and trees are a model of what each should
be and the overall appearance of the house and yards is beautiful in the extreme. It was
selected as a Beauty Spot by the committee on Beautification Through Conservation in Butts
