Via Associated Pi Call-in show guests angry over strip-search 4 of 5 Clay commission seats up for grabs in runoff By Jena Janovy Star Staff Writer By Jena Janovy Star Staff Writer TALLADEGA Talladega has victims to rival Rodney King, Selma attorney Rose Sanders told a television audience Friday night: two 8-year-olds who say they were strip searched by a teacher for money they did not take. "They were not beaten by the cops," Mrs. Sanders said during an hour-long call-in show on cable station Channel 7.

"But it Was just as painful or even more painful for two little 8-year-old girls to be treated in the humiliating way they were treated by their own teacher." The teacher. Susannah Herring of Graham the Rev. Johnnie McCullough ot Mount Cleveland Baptist Church, said the board failed to do its duty. "Since the board did not do justice, we will not rest until justice is done," she said. Turning toward the camera, she added, Let me just appeal to you to say, what is it we can do to get this teacher terminated? Anything less than a termination will not be justice." Mrs.

Herring, Gaines, school board members and others involved in the case were invited to take part in the program but chose not to attend station spokesmen said. Host Rick Robinson told viewers he hoped to have Mrs. Herring on next Friday's program. About 33 callers reached the station, 18 made it on the air, the overwhelming majority sympathetic to Mrs. Sanders' position.

The attorney, an outspoken and trequent participant in Selma's recurring racial disputes, spoke calmly throughout the show, though her role as board attorney as a factor that may have influenced the board's decision. "It's clear to me that the purpose was to humiliate these children," she said. "It is hard to believe this would have happened to a child of professional parents or a child of wealthy parents. 1 cannot imagine this woman of wealth would have done this to one of her own." Others, she said, must also answer for their actions. "There's a lack fo justice in this county because powerful people take- precedence over powerless children," she said.

"This county, black and white, cannot afford this case of child abuse. Teachers are obligated by law to report cases of child abuse. Every teacher present had a responsibility to report this. Why wasn't it reported? Mrs. Hall and Mrs.

McKenzie said (hey contacted Mrs. Sanders after they said the school ignored their concerns about the treatment of their daughters. Said Mrs. Hall: "It hurt my feelings to hear that something like this could have happened at school. The only place I can think of something like this happening is in a prison." survey worker, says he's running because he wants to improve county roads.

In District 3, another incumbent, Elbert "Red" Kennedy, who received 40 percent of the votes, must defeat Manard Amason, who won 33 percent, to remain in office. There is no Republican candidate, so the winner of that race will claim the district unless an independent'" candidate enters. Kennedy, 57, owner of Red's Catfish Cabin in Mellow Valley and a commission member for 12 years, wants to bring more industry into Clay County. Amason, 57, is a utility contractor for GTE Systems of the South and a former Lineville City Council member. He sees the county's finances in need of major repair.

And in 5, voters will choose between Rickey Burney and Walter Kidd, who tied with 30 percent of the vote. The winner meets Republican Gary Pitts in the fall. Burney has said he will concentrate on improving roads in his district. Kidd, a deputy sheriff for two years, plans to focus on budget- ing problems. Polls are open from 8 a.m.

to 6 p.m. at the same sites for the June 2 election. ASHLAND Clay County's 4th commission district is the only seat that will sit out Tuesday's runoff. In District 1, Willoughby Gaither faces incumbent Roy Hudson. Gaither received 45 percent of the votes on the June 2 election, while Hudson, who has been in office four years, claimed 33 percent.

The winner will face Republican Liz Hamlin in the general election this fall. Hudson, 56, a poultry and cattle farmer, says many of the problems in his district are present throughout the county, and that he thinks he's done a good job and would like to continue his work. Gaither, 56, a used-car dealer and former two-term county commissioner, says his business background is an asset. In District 2, incumbent Charles "Bug" Jordan took 48 percent, and Wayne Creed claimed 37 percent. The winner faces Republican Johnny Brown.

Jordan, 52, who runs a lumber mill, says if elected, his top priority will be to get the county out of debt. Creed, 61, a retired government Elementary School, was suspended by the Talladega Board of Education on May 25. The board voted this week, however, not to fire Mrs. Herring, despite the recommendation by Superintendent Ed Barney that she lose her job. Mrs.
