21 tt By VIVECA EKERS Star Staff Writer PIEDMONT -The call came Monday, Just before Gerald Willis left for the snows of New Hampshire. It wu Bert Lance, chairman of the Georgia Democratic Party. The reaction of the lumberman from Nances Creek wu one of almost disbelief when Lance told him bis name had been added to the ballot for Georgia's March 13 Democratic presidential preference primary. "He asked me if I was feeling well," Willis said Tuesday from New Hampshire. "Of course that made me feel well, sure enough." The addition of Willis' name makes him the only candidate other than those WiUls refers to as "the sacred on the ballot.

Lance said he nominated Willis "in the Interest of fairness." "HE'S MADE AN effort in Georgia," Lance said Tuesday during a telephone interview from his office. "He made a good showing at the pre-primary caucus in fact, he had more delegates than some of the major candidates." Willis placed a surprising fifth in Georgia's delegate selection caucuses at the end of January, finishing in front of Ernest Holltngs, Reubln Askew and Alan Cranston. Being placed on the primary ballot In Georgia is an especially bright spot in the campaign of a minor candidate. The candidates are chosen by a selection committee composed of members from both parties, with the main criteria being "recognition by the national news media," Lance said. Willis has received little national press coverage until now.

Being on the Georgia ballot may change that. "Now I should be recognized as a candidate nationwide," he said. WILLIS ARRIVED in Concord, N.H.,n Tuesday and plans to be there, "appealing to the grassroots of the state," until the Feb. 28 primary. The conservative Democrat said he's gotten nothing but warm receptions so far in the stole Granite State.

Campaigning Tuesday In Peterborough, a town of about 5,500 in southern New Hampshire, Willis said "people were tickled to death to see me, because the other candidates hadn't been there. "They don't expect to be visited by a dark horse or minor candidate," Willis said. "When you come in and show an interest In their state, they show an Interest in you." Willis said be has not finished mapping out his New Hampshire tour, though It will include a trip to Dixville Notch, a tiny northern town where the first votes are cast in the primary, and to factories in Manchester and other larger cities in the state. But he said he is concentrating on the small towns where the "major candidates don't go and where the grassroots movement really Is." A finish in the top five in that state's primary would be a win for him, Willis said. "Then we can come back to Georgia and Alabama and do real well." He said be has a secret strategy to take the two southern contests.

THE HOTLY-CONTESTED New Hampshire race there is a field of 22 candidates is the second test of strength for the Democratic contenders, the first being next Monday's Iowa caucuses. Willis said he does not expect to do well in Iowa, because he is concentrating his campaign in three states New Hampshire, Georgia and Alabama. Asked whether he was shooting for the presidential or vice-presidential slot, Willis replied, "I'm running for president." Willis has said in the past he actually had his eye on the number two spot. He is on the vice-presidential as well as presidential ballot in New Hampshire, the only state where that is possible. oa 112-01.

Bergs trom, a spokesman for Winn-Dixie stores in Alabama, said letters were sent Tuesday to all 118 stores in four states, notifying them of the Alabama recall of the product. The letter told store managers they should take the product off ue shelves and store it for future pick-up by representatives of General Mills, parent company of Betty Crocker.

"I feel like I'm going into a good situation," said Thompson, a state revenue agent who has lived in Weaver since 1971. "It's a workable city council able to talk and argue and more or less work together."

Buddy Sawyer, a buyer for Associated Grocers of Alabama, a federation of Independent grocers, said he was told by General Mills executives that the chain had been sent a shipment of the product back in November. "We think most of it has been sold," he said. "We've notified our stores to check for the product." Sawyer would not say how much of the product had been shipped, or to what stores. However, he said none of the stores was in the Anniston area.

The Department of Agriculture and Industries is continuing to test food products for EDB residues. The state also began sampling groundwater in Escambia and Baldwin counties for EDB contamination. The pesticide has been used heavily in those counties as a soil fumigant. EDB has turned up in groundwater in both Georgia and Florida. Weaver council provide operating revenue.

"There is only a small amount of money to spend," he said. "The council doesn't have many choices we have to wisely use what we have." Thompson had received strong support from the council during the selection of LaRoy "Rocky" Russell to replace councilman Mark Stewart who resigned in January. During a short executive session before the meeting Tuesday, he was selected to fill the remaining council position. In other council business, mayor pro-tern Bobby Hendrix appointed Russell as his proxy to the board of directors for the East Alabama Regional Planning and Developent Commission. The state already spends 8500,000 a year on the State Capitol Police, whose duties Include patrolling the Capitol complex, but Covington said he didn't think the Capitol Police could provide the necessary security for the new legislative offices.

Covington's bill mandates that the security officers have previous law enforcement experience. The full-time officers would receive the same pay as the State Capitol Police some $17,000 a year. The pay of the part-time officers is left to the discretion of House Clerk John Pemberton and Senate Secretary McDowell Lee. Also, Pemberton and Lee would hire the security officers and would not have to go through the state merit system. Covington's bill provides that the security officers will have police powers "and may exercise such powers anywhere in the state." 64-0Z.

MONTGOMERY (AP) The Alabama Legislature is on Its way toward creating its own police force with statewide arrest powers. The Senate voted 23-0 Tuesday for a bill that would allow the clerk of the House and the secretary of the Senate to hire a full-time security officer for each chamber and as many part-time security officers as they feel are needed. The bill now goes to the House for consideration. The bill's sponsor, Sen. Foy Covington, I-Newville, said the Legislature will need Its own security force when lawmakers move their offices to the old Highway Department building behind the Capitol.

Sen. Ann Bedsole, R-Mobile, questioned the need for security. "Have you been over there and seen those halls?" Covington asked her. Ai? svn II tstl mm OATS um.
