(1 Modd mm BILL By The Associated Press Lester Maddox, a symbol of Southern segregationist defiance a decade ago, has lost his bid to become Georgia's governor for the second time. Maddox, 59, who led a 12-can-didate field in the Democratic primary on Aug. 13, was defeated in the runoff on Tuesday by state Rep. George Busbee, who had the support of black civil rights leader Julian Bond and most of the party's moderates. "People are quicker to turn out to vote against somebody than they are to vote for somebody," a tearful Maddox told campaign workers.

Busbee, 47-year-old majority leader of the Georgia house, said after-winning by a comfortable margin: "I do think people have made it clear they want four years of sound, stable government." In addition to the Georgia runoff, primary elections were held Tuesday in North Dakota and Nevada. Maddox had served as governor from 1967 to 1971, then was elected lieutenant governor under a Georgia law prohibiting a governor from succeeding himself. The governor for the last four years has been Jimmy Carter, a moderate considered one of the leaders of "The New South" of white and black cooperation. Maddox' career was forged a decade ago when as owner of Atlanta's Pickrick Restaurant he became a symbol of southern resistance to integration by issuing clubs to his employes. The clubs were used to drive away blacks and college students attempting to patronize the Pickrick.

Maddox eventually sold the restaurant. In the Republican gubernatorial primary, Macon Mayor Ronnie Thompson, a law-and-order candidate who once gave "shoot to kill" orders to his police in a crackdown on crime, held a slim lead over Harold Dye, a retired Army officer from Atlanta. In Nevada, former Gov. Paul Laxalt easily captured the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Alan Bible, who is retiring.

Laxalt will face Lt. Gov. Harry Reid, who won a three-way fight for the Democratic nomination. His main challenger was Maya Miller, a political newcomer who campaigned as an environmentalist. Rep.

David Towell, Nevada's first Republican congressman in 20 years, easily won renomi-nation. Two Democrats were locked in a close race for their party's nomination. In North Dakota, former Gov. William L. Guy won the Democratic nomination for U.S.

Senator over Bismarck businessman Robert P. McCarney. He will face Republican Sen. Milton Young, 76, who is seeking a fifth term. Young was unopposed for renomination.

Laxalt played a key role as Harrell, a brothel madam who campaigned on a platform of VD education for teen-agers, has won her way into a runoff for a Nevada state assembly seat.

Hawthorne garage owner Don Moody, 46, ran second. Since no Republicans are seeking the seat, Moody and Mrs. Harrell, 40, will face each other in a runoff in November.

A number of years ago Gordon (The Barefoot Toe) Tovani started a game called knee ball in this area. Kneeball is like football, the one big difference being you must do all your running and even passing while you're on your knees.

With Gordon giving kicking exhibitions, it looked like kneeball might catch on, but it really didn't. Several years ago Don Hopper was pushing head butting in Petaluma. In head butting you had to butt your head against a wooden door, and the fellow who made the biggest indentation ended up the winner. Head butting came to a halt when the butters ended up with headaches and sore heads. During the same period toe wrestling was initiated in this area, but like head butting and knee ball it never became a rip-roaring success.

In the above picture you see an illustration of the sport of toe wrestling. Travelers And Ripoffs ABOUT 90 per cent of the people who are traveling tell me, please don't print anything about my trip until I get back. The reason they give for the above statement, they are afraid their homes will be ripped off and vandalized while they are away. Will Chief Run? ACCORDING to my spies along Political Row, there's a move to get Petaluma insuranceman, Chief Wages, to run for the city council. When Chief first moved to Petaluma, he ran unsuccessfully for the city council, but since then he has made hundreds of new friends and acquaintances.

Note Some people now refer to Chief Wages as the Petaluma Chief and even as Chief Petaluma. "We've been coming to the consulate for seven years and the government refuses to pay us for the property they took from us," Jeannie said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "My family owned a factory and farm in French Africa (now Algeria), but when the French-African war started there, they told us to go to France and they would help us start over, but they haven't helped us at all." The Berenguers stayed inside for seven hours while police and sheriff's officers kept a vigil and friends told them to come out. Finally, Peter Noel Medina, 46, a friend who said he had similar claims, told them they had won the public's attention and could do no more good by extending their stay. They voted to come out.

Sheriff's deputies removed three one-gallon glass jugs of clear liquid from the consulate offices after the Berenguers left. Joseph Berenguer, his wife, son and three daughters occupied the French consulate here for seven hours on Tuesday. They threatened to set it on fire before emerging after listening to the pleas of a longtime friend and sheriff's officers. The French nationals said they were frustrated over repeated attempts to settle a 12-year-old claim for $20,000 for land confiscated when France granted independence to Algeria in 1962. "It's a matter of honor," daughter Jeannie, 16, said at one point.

The Berenguers, who run a French delicatessen in Santa Barbara, entered the office of Consul General Jean Francois Roux on Tuesday afternoon, ejected its lone occupant, a secretary, and nailed the door shut. They said they planned to fast for justice and announced, "We have enough gasoline to burn down the building and we're willing to burn with it unless we get justice." UNION CITY (AP) While a heliocopter hovered overhead to watch for possible disturbances, some 450 police officers from Northern California gathered to memorialize slain Police Chief William Cann. After services at a tiny Catholic church Tuesday, the police officers and sheriffs drove in a mile-long procession to the cemetery in neighboring Hay-ward where Cann was interred. The 32-year-old- police chief was shot twice in the neck on June 11 while attending a community relations meeting at a church in a Mexican'American part of town. Police still are searching for clues to the identity of the sniper who fired through a church window.

"He was going out of his way to prove good will by exposing himself without escort, guns or fear," eulogized Father Eladio Pasqual. "To prove that good will, he gave his life." Before the funeral, police cordoned off a five-block area around the church and stationed the helicopter overhead. LOS ANGELES (AP) "We came out because the American police said they'd help us," said Charlotte Berenguer. "We decided there was no use in staying forever," said her daughter, Jackie. Cranston Confident Of Victory LOS ANGELES (AP) Sen.

Alan Cranston is so confident of winning reelection in November that he doesn't plan to begin hard campaigning until the fall Senate recess that he expects about Oct. 15. "I'm really not going to do a great deal until the cesses," Cranston told an inter viewer Tuesday. Until the recess, Cranston says he will come to California only on weekends and will spend most of his time in Washington, The Democratic senator faces conservative Republican State dat's new friendship toward the United States, which so far has brought neither a reduction in U.S. arms support for Israel nor any American weaponry for Egypt.

The French government's recent cancellation of its seven-year arms embargo against Israel and neighboring Arab nations has been followed by re- ports that France will send Egypt new Mirage jet war-planes, paid for by oil-rich Arab countries. But supplies of new French aircraft and weapons would not help the Egyptian military keep its Soviet-supplied arms in operating condition. That depends to a considerable extent on receiving replacement parts from the Soviet Union. The Egyptian army, air force and navy have been equipped almost entirely with Soviet material since the late 1950s. WASHINGTON (AP) Senior Egyptian military officers are pressing their government to patch up differences with the Soviet Union so they can obtain Russian arms again, U.S.

intelligence sources report. These sources said Egyptian Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy has been invited to Moscow in mid-October and a top Egyptian general probably will accompany him. The Russians have withheld deliveries of new equipment and critically important spare parts from Egypt since mid-April, according to U.S. intelligence. The Soviet cut-off came as U.S.-Egyptian relations were warming after nearly two decades of hostility.

Egyptian military officers are said by U.S. intelligence sources to have soured on Egyptian President Anwar Sa Time Flies I didn't really realize that our summer is coming to an end until I ran into Petalumans Charley Terzian and Laurel Brown. Charley and Laurel made me realize that the fall is upon us, because their main topic of conversation was skiing, and how the snow season will be this year. i i If VrV So Many Children (UFSiomb cam wcon amaim WHILE MAKING my morning rounds of Petaluma Tuesday, I noted the long line of children walking from St. Vincent Church to St.

Vincent School. I recall making the same march many years ago, but there weren't a quarter the number of children making the walk in those days. Petaluma has grown from a town to a city, and I'm afraid that the once small town atmosphere is lost forever. Sen. H.L.

Richardson in the November election, but he expressed confidence in his chances. "It looks very good, but I know the situation can change." Public opinion polls show Cranston far ahead of Richardson, and the senator says he agrees with that estimate. And he says he does not feel Richardson's campaign has been effective thus far. "I don't have a clear impression of him since I haven't seen much evidence of his campaign," he said. Cranston's campaign manager, Mickey Kantor, said the senator will spend "a lot less than $800,000" in his campaign.

That would be less than half of what Cranston spent in his campaign against Max Rafferty in 1968. FALL 1974 CLASSES About A Beard I GREW a beard for the Old Adobe Fiesta, and so far I haven't shaven it off. What kind of reaction am I receiving to my beard now that the Old Adobe Fiesta is over? Most people over 35 are saying shave it off, while those under 35 are saying keep the beard. About Long Hair ONE of the subjects of the coffeecuppers at the U.S. Bakery Tuesday morning, long hair.

Those at the table were discussing long hair and how it went hand in hand with being a hippie. Now it's interesting to note that 90 per cent of the fellows at this table had what would have been called mighty long hair a few years back. COURSE NO.

Bay Bridge Rush Hour Is Reduced OAKLAND (AP) With the return of AC Transit buses after a two-month strike, the morning commute hour across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge lasted only three hours instead of five. Bridge officials said 24,000 vehicles moved "beautifully" across the bridge Tuesday morning, the first work day since AC Transit bus drivers, mechanics and clerical workers returned to their jobs.

Rush hour on the bridge usually runs between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. Monday through Friday, the spokesman said. But frequently during the strike, rush hour lasted until 11 a.m. Santa Rosa Fats BACK in the late 1930s marble playing was big in Petaluma, and one of the games played was called Santa Rosa Fats.

I've often wondered who originated the Santa Rosa Fats game. The next time I see Al Benito, the old Petaluma marble champion, I am going to ask him if he knows who the originator was. The Name Caulfield CAULFIELD LANE has been very much in the news lately, so I thought you'd like to know that the original Caulfield home in Petaluma was on Hopper Street.
