197 Usery optimistic on labor's vote From Staff, Wire Reports President Ford will win support from rank-and-file workers despite strong union backing of Jimmy Carter, U.S. Secretary of Labor William Usery told a press conference in Aimiston Wednesday. "Historically, the unions have been more allied with the Democratic Party," Usery said. He felt, however, that -f' workers overall would vote their personal convictions regardless of union endorsements. Campaigning on Ford's behalf, Usery said Ford "has just about closed the gap" between himself and Carter.

Usery was optimistic Ford could win several southern states, including Alabama. The secretary of labor conceded that the veto of the common situs picketing bill hurt Ford with organized labor. Ford, though, allowed the negotiation process to continue in labor matters, a mark in the president's favor, Usery said. Speaking in Birmingham prior to the afternoon press conference in Anniston, Usery predicted a national health insurance program would be in effect by 1980. But, Usery said, it will be more costly than health service 1 today.

He said the nation should "think long and hard before we go down the routes in this area that some countries have gone." Usery also said the "economy is good and it's improving." He called the recovery from recession "tremendous I fantastic." He said he thought labor leaders' endorsements of Democratic presidential candidate Carter would have an effect on the election. But he added, "I don't think there is an all-out labor vote as there was in the past." He said Alabama and North and South Carolina were 1 Southern states Ford would have a good chance of carrying 1 in Tuesday's election. Usery also traveled to Gadsden where he made brief speeches and shook hands at factory shift changes.

Some of the money will be used to hire' a transporation coordinator who will receive requests for transportation and establish routes in the three counties. The transportation routes will help low-income and elderly persons reach facilities such as medical offices, food stores and government agencies.

According to Mrs. Johnson, the Department of Pensions and Security, which is handling the grant, has assured the CIB that the money is available. Dec. 1 is the target date for the beginning of the program, she said. However, $9,000 must be raised to pay the local share of the funding.

"It is hard to get a commitment from some counties on funds," Mrs. Johnson said. "Although we know from past experience that we will find the money somewhere." Cleburne County has notified the CIB that they can allocate their share of the funds, she said. The board also heard a report on the sixth annual meeting of B0DNER EXTRA LARGE EGGS D0Z.
