Carter riles Georgians hy opposing dam WASHINGTON (UPI) President Carter, under fire for trying to eliminate 18 water and dam projects across the country, yesterday riled his supporters at home by proposing that a 19th be abandoned a massive reservoir in Georgia. The White House said the Richard B. Russell project on the Savannah River between Georgia and South Carolina should be added to a list of water projects the President wants stopped. "My God!" said former Georgia Supreme Court justice Peyton Hawes. head of group of Elberton residents who had pushed for construction of the $231 million project.

"That's just hard for me to believe. "I know Jimmy pretty well, and I got word from the White House last week that we didn't have anything to worry about," Hawes said. "Jimmy has been here many times, and he's told me personally he supports it." White House press secretary Jody Powell, who was Carter's press secretary in Georgia, said he couldn't recall Carter's ever taking a stand on the issue while governor. However, R.L. Williford, publisher of the Elberton Star, told UPI that "Gov.

Carter signed the agreement for the state saying the state would pay half the acquisition costs." "He came here and spoke at our chamber dinner in 1972 and wholeheartedly endorsed it," Williford said. "The only precinct in Georgia which voted 100 per cent for Carter was here in Elberton, where the dam is going." Carter defended the water project cuts in a Cabinet meeting at which he said: "We're moving in the right direction, though it's going to be controversial." Word leaked out during the weekend that Carter would ask Congress in his budget revision message today to eliminate funds for 18 water projects, most of them in the West. Top officials of Western states expressed shock and anger. Powell announced in a briefing yesterday that Carter wants 19 projects eliminated because they "now appear unsupportable on economic, environmental and-or safety grounds." Powell said the 19th project was the Russell dam "the one project was inadvertently left off," he explained. The printed budget message that goes to Congress today mentions only 18 projects none by name and says cutting them would save $268 million in fiscal 1978 alone.

The White House said elimination of the Russell project, named in memory of Georgia's longtime U.S. senator, would bring the saving to $289 million. The Ford Administration, which drafted the 1978 budget. had asked for $21 million to be spent on the project during the year. Construction of the Russell project is still in an early phase.

Carter ordered a review of all the nation's water and dam projects, saying only those that are "economically and environmentally sound" will survive the scrutiny. The review is to be undertaken by Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus. Army Secretary Clifford Alexander, the Council on Environmental Quality and the budget office, with a report due by April 15.

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 22, 1977 Hawaii Glenn Chun, owner of My Son's Jewelry Store, told police that diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds some loose and others mounted were taken from display cases and a safe in the store.

Also missing was a revolver, police said. Chun is preparing an inventory of the stolen items. He estimated the value of the missing jewelry at $400,000 and told WAILUKU About $400,000 worth of precious stones and other jewelry has been reported stolen from a Kihei shop, in a burglary that occurred sometime between Sunday and yesterday morning, according to Maui police. police it was most of his stock. Police would not say how the burglars gained entrance to the store.

The burglary is under investigation by the criminal investigation division. Maui police indicated that it was the biggest loss in a single burglary in Maui history. The loss figure in the burglary is also among the highest that can be remembered statewide.

The sign on the new freeway from H-l to Wahiawa does not mean that if you have a two-seater with an occupancy of two. then you have a high-occupancy vehicle.

The sign is just another way the State Department of Transportation has found to say "carpool lane." The lane is for cars with three or more persons; buses; vans; and other such "high occupancy vehicles." According to State Transportation Director E. Alvey Wright, this is the sign of the future because eventually those lanes out to Pearl City will be Used for the fixed-guideway system. Wright said the sign's wording has been cleared with the Federal Highway Administration. The lanes also have diamond patterns painted on them, indicating that their use will be restricted. Wright noted that eventually there will be a solid line on the side indicating that traffic is not to merge in and out.

Wright said there will be access to the lanes at interchanges only. All new freeway sections ewa of Middle Street will have such restrictive lanes. Wright said, and this would give Hawaii "a complete transit system." Such lanes will be used only where there are three lanes or more in one direction. Wright said. "I think we will always have congested highways." he said yesterday, "and the only way to get good occupancy of rapid transit is to limit highways." When people sitting in traffic see buses and vans whizzing by in the high-occupancy lanes.

Wright said, this will encourage mass transit. With a complete system of regular freeway lanes plus the high-occupancy lanes, Wright said, "we'll never have to build more highways." How the police will enforce what is high occupancy and what is not is another question and Wright said this must be defined by City ordinance. Presently, carpool lanes are defined in City ordinances as being for the exclusive use of any vehicle occupied by three persons or more. Presumably, Wright said, the ordinances will be reworded to indicate that on State highways high occupancy would mean three persons or more in one vehicle.

as much as $206,000, according to the firm's president. That blaze and two major brush-fires in North Shore foothills spread a smoky haze over much of Central Oahu during the afternoon. Three companies and Schofield Barracks soldiers fought each of the brushfires one in the Kahuku military training area and the other in the scrub forests above Kawailoa and brought them to a standstill by evening. Both were burning at nightfall, however. The Kahuku blaze was reported at 11 a.m.; the Kawailoa fire about 4 p.m.

At Oahu Sugar, president and. general manager David Bailie watched flames crackle and sweep through one of the "dividend" parcels of Ewa cane land and said the company would be lucky to salvage half of the prize crop. Bailie, who arrived on the scene soon after the fire had been reported, said the burned cane would go "sour" in the field before it could be processed. The factory is down now, he said, and it will be at least a week before operations resume. By then, however, the cane will be so sour that it will be good for molasses only.

-he said. Bailie said the field would have yielded 13.25 tons of sugar per acre. The average return for sugar and molasses now is $267 per ton, he said. "This is one of the better fields." Bailie noted, shaking his head as the smoke and soot poured out of the field and the fire roared through the dry cane. "It's part of the golden block the golden triangle." Returns from the cane in this area are used to subsidize the earnings of poorer fields, he said.

Bailie said the company already has anticipated a loss on its crop this year and the fire will make an even more substantial setback. "This company is fighting to stay in business," he said. "We've got enough problems as it is. Abetted by a shifting wind, the blaze changed directions repeatedly and fire fighters had difficulty when their hoses couldn't reach far enough. ft 0 a Money Matters GM, Ford and Chrysler set a profit record Page C-6 The Index 4 sections, 38 pages Ann Landers B2 Bridge C5 Capitol Calendar C8 Classified ads D4-11 Comics C5 Crossword puzzle C5 Editorials A8 Entertainment B6-8 George Daacon A3 Horoscope C5 Money Matters C6-7 Ms.

Dr. Donald Coggan. and Canon Burgess Carr "were disappointed when their plan failed and are presently at the center of anti-Uganda propaganda." Amin.

whose remarks came in a message to the Organization of African Unity, broadcast by Radio Uganda, also challenged his accusers to investigate the case themselves in Kampala. In London, the Anglican leader said that Amin should not be allowed to enter Britain and added that he never doubted that the Archbishop Luwum had been murdered. Canon Carr, secretary of the umbrella African church group, has said he is sure Luwum was murdered by Amin's forces. In Dar Es Salaam, the Tanzanian government newspaper reported that an enraged Amin personally shot and killed the archbishop after the churchman refused to sign a prepared confession admitting complicity in a coup. Quoting a reliable source in the Ugandan capital, the Daily News said Luwum had been stripped and tortured by two soldiers, all the while praying and denying any guilt.

Amin finally pulled his pistol and shot the archbishop twice in the chest, the report said. The Tanzanian government which the paper represents was accused by Amin last week of being involved in the coup attempt, along with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Israel, Britain, and other nations and individuals. In London, wire services reported that Luwum's predecessor in Kampala returned from attending memorial services in Nairobi for the prelate and said he was told by an eyewitness that the archbishop had been shot to death. "The archbishop had a bullet hole on each side of his chest, and he was also shot in the mouth." the Rt.

Rev. Leslie Brown said. "This information was passed on to me by someone who actually saw the corpse. I cannot say who it was or go into more detail because the person's life would be in danger." Meanwhile, it was learned that another Anglican bishop in Uganda, Festo Kivengere, reported arrested last week while trying to claim the body of the archbishop, is free today and attending to normal church duties. Ln llfrlrs T'uilr Si'l'lirr NAIROBI At least 1.000 Ugandans were killed, and hundreds more were arrested and tortured, in a two-week campaign of terror directed by President Idi Amin and climaxed by the executions of the nation's Anglican archbishop and two senior cabinet ministers, reliable intelligence sources reported in Kenya yesterday.

The sources said the campaign apparently stemmed from a decision by Amin to eliminate what he believes to be subversive elements within the Acholi and Longo tribes and the Protestant and Catholic churches. Amin is a Moslem and member of the Kakwa tribe, both minorities in Uganda. Meanwhile diplomatic sources said yesterday that more than 100 Christian missionaries have been told they must leave Uganda by April 1, when their work permits expire. Executed last week under the cover of an "auto accident" were Archbishop Janani Luwum and high government ministers Charles Oboth-Ofumbi and Erinayo Oryema. All three had been accused of plotting to overthrow the Amin regime.

Amin has insisted that they died in an accident while trying to overpower their police escort in an effort to escape. They had been en route to an interrogation session. But more than a dozen reports from Kampala to church groups, various news media and intelligence agencies have stated that the three were executed. Bodies of the three were buried by the government before they could be seen by family members and any impartial inquiry could take place. There have been some discrepancies in the reports over how they were murdered, but most have asserted they were shot by the secret police.

The assassinations have evoked massive protests from within Africa and from church groups and world leaders many of whom had remained silent during Amin's six-year tyrannical reign. At least 10.000 Ugandans were killed during this time. These other developments emerged yesterday: Amin charged that the archbishop of Canterbury and the leader of the All-Africa Conference of Churches were involved in a "sinister plan to cause chaos in Uganda."
