Maddox said "the people won" when the Senate rejected the changes and voted 33-23 to re-adopt rules in effect last year. The old rules give Maddox authority to name committees and their chairmen. Gov. Carter denied being "personally disappointed'' by the Senate vote. "I believe the rules eventually must be changed," Carter said, "but it's a matter for the Senate to decide." During two hours of debate, Rowan denied that Gov.

Carter was behind the proposed changes. "My actions and my convictions are my own," he said. "I couldn't care less what Gov. Jimmy Carter wants on any proposition. I have fought him tooth and toenail on many issues."

By SAM HOPKINS and FRANK WELLS A massive ice storm described as the worst in decades continued to disrupt hundreds of thousands of metropolitan Atlantans Tuesday morning with the prediction that some electric power won't be restored before Friday. Thousands of ice-laden tree limbs kept cracking like rifle shots and knocking power lines down while more than 1,000 repairmen worked around the clock in freezing weather. Damaging winds up to 15 miles per hour were predicted for Tuesday, threatening to break even more ice-laden limbs and snap power lines. Weathermen predicted that wind velocity could rise to between 10 and 15 miles per hour, raising the chance of more limbs" breaking and carrying electric power lines to the ground. To add to the misery, the winds should be from the northeast to the north the weatherman said.

Mariettans saw some light snow falling late Monday night, but the chance for any measurable precipitation by early Tuesday, was slight, the weatherman said. "But there won't be any decrease in the weight already on the limbs. We aren't out of the woods by a long sight, yet," he said. A Georgia Power Co. official who has been in Atlanta since 1936 said he had never seen an ice storm as bad as the current one.

Another official predicted that the damage to the power company's property would be "at least $1 million." One Georgia Power Co. official estimated that some 149,000 of the company's customersmostly residential families lost See ICE, Page 19-A 5 Xj' Li V't tation Talks with the Soviet Union. Page 2-A.

His body lay on the roof all night and all day Monday.

Police technicians did not move the body, but took fingerprints from it. Giarrusso said the body had been tentatively identified, but would not give the name to newsmen. Before the search, there was a report that one gunman was trapped in an air conditioning duct, but a search turned up no one.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Heavily armed police rushed a rooftop hotel bunker Monday afternoon in a search for snipers who killed six persons and wounded 17 others, but found no trace of gunmen. A room-by-rcom search of the hotel was begun Monday night, but there was no immediate sign of snipers. Police admitted there was a chance one or two snipers had escaped, or even a remote chance there was only one gunman. One sniper was killed Sunday night by police gunfire from a helicopter which swooped over the roof of the hotel. At that time, police thought there was a total of three snipers.

Police Sitpt. Clarence Giarrusso said Monday night he still believed there were at least two snipers originally, but "if they don't turn up anyone and there was another sniper, then he got away." "If we don't find anyone, then we're going to admit something went wrong, possibly with us, and return to normalcy," said Giarrusso at a news conference Monday night. "There's a gamut of possibilities ranging from police negligence to a superbrain sniper," said He said thfV-was a possibiliiy there was is ISDEX Good Health 7-B Goren on Bridge 2-C Jesse Outlar l-D Movies, Amusements Ifi-A Reg Murphy 4-A Sports J-D Television- 12-A Want Ads 3-C Astrology 17-A Bob Harrell 2-B Eusiness.
