ThE TENNE City Suburban NEWS Tuesday Oct. 17, 1972 Page 15 Couple Allowed To Pick Up Loan. Without Penalty Spring Threat To Interstate Projects Told I I I GALLATIN Chancellor Edward M. Turner upheld yesterday the right of a Hen-dersonviile couple to assume a $14,000 mortgage without any change in interest rate, an order which was viewed in courthouse circles here as a landmark decision. The ruling, which permanently enjoins Security Federal Savings Loan Association from foreclosing on the property on this basis, came following a one-day hearing yesterday in a suit filed by Mr.

and Mrs. Earl Lorenz, Center Point Road, Hender-sonville, against the savings and loan firm in 1970. THOMAS E. Stewart, and Tom Black, Nashville, represented the plaintiffs and Richard D. Speight, of Goodpasture, Carpenter, Woods Sasser, was counsel for the weekend that antitrust attorneys from Atlanta have begun looking into possible bid-rigging, or an allocation of business conspiracy, among suppliers of crushed rock and asphalt here between 1965 and 1970.

Smith said he understands the investigation may turn up some violations and indicated they could involve purchase of crushed rock. He said that when he took office in 1970 he noticed that the state received identical prices from a number of rock quarries but he could not say what amount of money was involved in the violations if they took place. Smith did, however, deny that the total would be $200 million as reported earlier. He said that total covered all purchases during the period under investigation, and said he understands that the violations, if they exist, occurred only in the purchase of asphalt products. aii(iiwwiMiitityiwiiiWitai Staff photo by Jimmy Ellis 'And Mom Has Trouble With Just Two of Us' whose first litter was a whopping 13 pups, seven Ceorge, 4'2, left, and Jason Payor, 3Vi, sons of Dr.

Schools To Air Long-Range Plan The Metro schools long-range plans for kindergarten i and secondary school pro- grams will be discussed today at a special study session of the Metro Board of Education. Citizens wishing to speak to the board on these topics may appear at 4 p.m.

at the board's conference room, 2601 Bransford Ave. Squire Quits lo Keep School Board Post firm. Court records show that the Lorenzes purchased the property on Center Point Road in 1970 from the previous owner, paying $21,000 cash and assuming a $14,000 mortgage held by Security Federal. Lorenz, who is Midstate and Eaststate district manager of the Pepsi-Cola Bottling sought to assume the $14,000 mortgage but the savings and loan company called for an increase in interest on the mortgage, which had been made in 1964 bearing 6 interest, to 8. THIS INTEREST rale increase came, according to the complainants, after the Tennessee legislature had raised the legal interest ceiling to 10.

The savings and loan firm then sued to foreclose on the mortgage and the Lorenzes obtained a preliminary injunction against the foreclosure. Testimony in court was that Security and Federal is the only firm which seeks to increase the interest rate in such transactions and that this is the first such court case in the state. OLLOWING yesterday's hearing on the plea for permanent injunction, Chancellor Turner ruled orally that the By ALEX BONTEMPS Tennessee's interstate highway program could be halted on several fronts unless Congress passes a federal highway bill by this spring, State Highway Commissioner Robert F. Smith said here yesterday. Until then, Smith said, the department will have to delay work on only one project 30 miles of 1-81 paving east of Knoxville.

Smith make his remarks at a news conference called here yesterday afternoon to discuss the effect on Tennessee of Congress' failure to allocate funds, for federal highway systems this term. THERE HAD been speculation, when highway appropriations bills failed in both houses of Congress last week, that Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia would run out of highway funds in the near future as a result of the current congressional bottleneck over appropriations. Smith said the state will be in fairly good shape until this spring because of a $100 million bond issue for highways approved by the 87th General Assembly. Smith said he could not comment specifically on what projects will be affected if funds are not allocated by spring, but he said the situation could become critical and indicated that future projects would have to be delayed. WHATEVER happens, Smith added, the state will be able to continue projects already under contract because of the $100 million bond issue.

Construction primary, secondary and urban roads will not be affected because of money already received from other federal sources, Smith said. Smith said that even though Congress has failed to approve a highway appropriations bill this term, it is still not too late to avoid a crisis in the interstate program in Tennessee. When Congress has been unable to work out its appropriations difference in the past, Smith explained, it has passed continuation resolutions that maintain programs at a current rate. If this happens or if Congress is able to pass a highway appropriations bill when it reconvenes next year, Smith said, the interstate program can be continued at its present level and the 1-81 paving can be put back on schedule. CONGRESS was unable to agree on an appropriations bill for highways because of differences over a proposal by Sen.

John Sherman Cooper, to open up use of the highway trust fund for mass transit funding. When the appropriations bills were killed in congressional committees Saturday night, the House and Senate were considering appropriations of $29 billion and $25 billion respectively. Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky were thought to be among the first states likely to run out of presently authorized money next By BILL PRESTON JR. If the results are any indication, Mrs. Louis G.

Payor's first attempt at midwifery and her Labrador Retriever's first attempt at being a mother were ringing successes. The result was a whopping and totally unexpected baker's dozen healthy pups eight males and five females. "IT'S QUITE UNUSUAL for a Labrador Retriever to have so many pups, especially on her first litter," Mrs. Payor said, explaining that all her advanced planning for the maternity was based on an estimate of eight pups arriving on Friday the 13th. The dog, Dana Point, usually sleeps in a bathroom shower stall, Mrs.

Payor said, but the family concluded a molded plastic kiddie swimming pool would be more suitable. "I decided that would be a real good place so I put all her bedding in it," Mrs. Payor said, "but she wouldn't get in it unless I was In it with her." With that bit of planning dashed, Mrs. Payor watched both Friday and Saturday pass into history with no pups. "She was just enormous, so I knew it had to be soon," she said.

"SOON" CAME AT 4 a.m. Sunday when Mrs. Payor awoke to find Dana Point giving birth in where else the shower stall. Rushing to Dana Point's aid, Mrs. Payor knew she could rely on the doctor in her house, her husband, a resident cral surgeon at Vanderbilt Hospital, to help with the midwife chores.

"With all his scientific training, I did all the delivery and he did all the watching he spent the whole time watching me do the work," she laughed. About 9 a.m. Sunday after a series of calls to Dr. W. H.

Flowers, a veterinarian, Mrs. Payor was convinced Dana Point had concluded her work with nine pups. "SHE SEEMED OKAY so I went about my work," Mrs. Payor said. "But each time I went back there was another one.

I washed the dishes and there was 10; I ran the vacuum and then there was 11. I didn't know when it would end." It ended after Dana Point went out for a casual stroll around the yard and returned to deliver her final two pups. Mrs. Payor was just beginning lo learn the problems of a big family when she realized Dana Point was equipped to feed only eight of the pups, requiring bottle feeding of the rest. But with all the problems of delivery, mother, midwife and pups dubbed the "Lucky 13" were all in good condition last night.

FRANKLIN, Tenn. A Williamson County man who had to give up one of his two county positions, formally resigned as a member of the county quarterly court yesterday. Billy S. Dodd, a mechanic at the county school bus garage, was elected to represent the 3rd County District Aug. 3 but a state law prohibits a county official from holding a job funded with county money.

LAST MONTH the county school board notified Dodd it was taking him off the payroll on the advice of its legal counsel, Frank Ingraham, who researched the law and said the board could not legally issue Dodd a paycheck. Although he was not being paid, Dodd continued to report to work while his own attorney studied the law. BUT RATHER than test the law which exempts school teachers, Dodd submitted his resignation as a magistrate so he could continue his job at the garage. Earlier, Dodd had said he was unaware of the law when he made the successful race and felt he should have been notified of the conflict before he spent his time and money in the election. County officials said a special election will have to be held to fill the vacancy.

Not Necessary To Stick Around This Bumper Year to use the old-fashioned paper stickers. "We're really having a time trying to teach our supporters that they can get the new a dozen so far because people have removed my stickers lor me." CLAUDE CURLIN, state campaign coordinator for Sen. George McGovern, said he has experienced the same problem. "My wife complained to me that the sticker on her car just came off," he said. An official in Ray Blanton's campaign for Howard Baker's Senate seat said he is encountering opposition from people who are still reluctant about how many of the stickers actually wind up on bumpers," Curlin said.

"A lot of them probably wind up in the car rather than on it." Barnette has a different view of the situation. "IT LOOKS to me like bumper stickers are taking over the role that buttons used to play," he said. "We give out more bumper strips than anything else." Even with the apparent success of the new type stickers, Mrs. Rubye Pate, saleswoman MOST MAJOR candidates and some minor ones have gone the extra mile this year and purchased more expensive, vinyl bumper stickers which you can peel off the bumper after election day (or sooner if you change your mind about a candidate). However, the new sticker does have its drawbacks.

"The main problem with bumper strips now is that they're too easy to take off," said Nixon campaign executive Frank Barnette. "I've had to replace at least halt By JOHN R. MOTT III Remember the last big election year when you stuck your candidate's sticker on your bumper and discovered after the election that you were stuck permanently with the sticker? Well, American scientific know-how has come to your rescue. No, there isn't a revolutionary new way to take off last year's bumper sticker, but there is a new sticker that doesn't become a permanent part of your car. at a supplier of bumper stickers here, said she still sells more of the cheaper paper stickers.

"However, it is pretty easy to tell the two apart," she said. "The difference between paper and vinyl is fairly obvious." She adds that vinyl stickers aren't really as new as they seem. "They've been around for years," Mrs. Pate said. "This is just the first time the candidates have really started using them." vinyl stickers off their cars," he said.

DESPITE THE problems, Senate and presidential campaign officials agree that they probably will give out more than a quarter of a million of the stickers in Tennessee before the Nov. 7 election. "Despite all that we give out, I still have questions Judge Orders Teen Tested In Man's Death Juvenile Court Judge Richard W.

Charles Anderson, said here over the 1-65 South Section This Week Opens By GEORGE WATSON JR. Meigs Junior High School, the target of vandals over the weekend, has been victim to six or seven other break-ins or thefts this school year, its principal said last night. "We have been hit by vandals six or seven times at least this year," said Owen Warford. "The other cases of either break-ins or thefts were not nearly as bad as what happened this weekend." VANDALS BROKE into the junior high school building over the weekend, ransacked offices, emptied the contents of students' lockers, threw food from the kitchen and splattered paint on walls and floors throughout most of the building, police said. Classes were delayed yesterday for a couple of hours until the hallways could be cleared of strewn materials.

According to Warford, the most extensive damage was done near the art department where the vandals took numerous cans of paints and splattered it on walls and floors. Meanwhile, Metro police continued to search for clues as to the identity of the vandals. Investigators have determined the intruders gained entrance to the school building by smashing a window in the rear of the school and by lifting another window leading to a teacher's lounge. WARFORD SAID last night it appears the vandals took only a couple of items from the school building. "We are missing a large paper cutter and another cutter which may have been taken," said Warford, "but nothing else was stolen." The school principal said he believes the school now may need a security guard to protect its premises while school is not in session.

On Sept. 26, the Metro School Board approved expenditure of $1,800 for the International Association Chiefs of Police to conduct a study of the school system's security and alarm systems. In earlier incidents of break-ins this year, Warford said "items were taken from the school but there was no real damage done." HALE HARRIS, director of Metro school-community relations, said last night that a break-in over the weekend also was reported at Ingle-wood Elementary School but said "the damage there was very minor. Nothing was taken and there was not much damage at all." Harris said the estimated total cost of damage at both schools will be "about $200." "The main cost will be the cost of labor to clean the place up," said Harris. ing before Jenkins.

MISS SHAFFER is charged with the slaying of Charles Owen Woo ten, 61, of 1120 Fourth whose body was found a wooded area near Antioch High School Sept. 25. Police said he had been shot once in the Ghest with a 22-caliber pistol, and a medical examiner said Wooten had been killed the day before. Miss Shaffer was arrested by Memphis police last week. Upon her arrival in Nashville, she claimed she shot Wooten after he attempted to rape her, Metro police said.

Her attorney, R. B. J. Campbelle of Legal Services of Nashville, asked that Miss Shaffer be committed after seeing a psychiatrist's preliminary report on her. Asst.

Dist. Atty. Gen. Tom Moon concurred in the motion. Moon said Miss Shaffer "has gone through a lot in the last few weeks," and the preliminary report concluded she is in need of psychiatric care.

A new section of Interstate 65 south of Nashville between Interstate 40 and Berry Road will open this week, probably Thursday, Tennessee Department of Transportation officials said yesterday. Charles Appleton, director of information for the Transportation Department, said there will be no opening "The barricades will simply be removed, and traffic will be permitted to flow," he said. According to Appleton, highway crews are busy painting divider stripes along the new highway. Opening of the highway depends on the weather during the next few days. He said the remaining portion of Interstate 65 from Berry Road to Harding Place will open next summer.
