2-C THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, Friday, July 23, 1976 i LOSING STEPCHILD STATUS? LEGAL NOTICES I have made application to the City of Atlanta for a Restaurant-Beer and Wine ecte Upgrading Is Exp DeKalb Airport's Consumed license at 1609 Gordon S.W., dba Hungry House Restaurant. Hear ing to be held by the License Review board Aug. 4, 1976 at two, in the late 1960s, were marked "closed" for lack of matching funds from the Board of Commissioners.

4, 1976 at 5 p.m. fourth floor, Police Headquarters, And all along there was the landfill problem. 175 Decatur S.E. The county's Buford landfill, located on airport property, attracted birds and the FAA never did like it, said Manget. Arthur J.

Mclntyre, Owner Lie. NOTICE OF PUBLIC SALE Please lake notice lhal on Monday. Then when the birds caused a 1973 jet "It's nice to have all these people ready to sink money into DeKalb County," commented Manget, "but it's sad that we haven't been able to provide the taxiways and hangars." By his guess two to three corporations a year fail to locate in DeKalb largely because of the inadequancies at the airport. That's just the ones he hears about. "They can look in any airport guide and see that we've got a beautiful location, but then they turn over and look at the next page for an airport with a runway and a complete ILS." Airport Authority Chairman Linton Broome agreed.

"That's very true. We have been told that large clients have not come to DeKalb because they could not find a place at the airport or because the runway was not quite long enough with a full load of passengers and fuel." That's where the airpot is, and will be until improvements can be made. To explain how it got there, airport authority members point an accusing finger at the county commission. "The airport's been expected to make its own way," said Broome. "Very little has been put in in the way of capital improvements." To be exact, according to Manget, nothing has been put in by the county in the way of capital improvements since 1962, when DeKalb voters agreed to issue $540,000 in bonds for airport improvements.

That money was spent over a five-year period, but that was it. Manget, in his office, leafed through a notebook describing old projects. The last volving both bodies, according to DeKalb Executive Assistant R. Jerry Dover. The $460,000 is that portion of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant that the county has claimed as its own.

Even though the money is carried as accounts receivable on the county's books, officials on both sides confirmed that the county will release the cash in exchange for an obligation from the airport. In exchange, the airport gradually will pay the county back by allowing it to use some 30 acres of airport land on which several county facilities are located. The agreement is described as a "bookkeeping arrangement" whereby the county can write off the accounts receivable without having to appropriate the $460,000 directly to the airport. The county's Dover claimed there would be no "significant" effect on DeKalb tax rates or services. And, he added, "I think on this basis there will be a majority vote in favor on the board." Two of the seven commissioners readily agreed.

If all goes well Tuesday, the way will be cleared for the first major improvements at the airport in 10 years. DeKalb-Peachtree, FAA figures show, has more takeoffs and landings than Dulles International Airport in Washington and more than any other airport in Georgia except for Atlanta's. It also has 400 based aircraft, more even than Atlanta. Yet ever since the county commission stopped putting up matching funds in the late 1960s and the FAA lifted the airport's grant clearance for a couple of reasons, By JAY LAWRENCE Georgia's second busiest airport, 10 years behind aviation times in the estimation of its own manager, will soon fly away from what supporters say is its position as the stepchild of the DeKalb County commission. Because of a lack of improvements at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, in the view of knowledgeable officials, many businesses have been reluctant to locate in DeKalb Couhty and some have been driven away.

The individuals with this opinion include members of the newly created DeKalb Airport Authority, officials of the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce, professional pilots and Airport Manager H. P. (Doo) Manget. "It's not that the airport is second class," said Manget. "It's just that it doesn't have the full facilities that it should." That may soon change.

Through a bit of financial fancy footwork, the airport authority and the county government have figured out a way to pay the airport a disputed $460,000 reportedly without impact-ting DeKalb tax rates or cutting back on services. Without that money, the authority has said it would be stillborn. But using a total of $640,000 in seed money as matching funds, said Manget, the airport could reap more than $5 million from the federal government through grants. But the initial improvements are still one to three years away. The agreement between the airport authority and the county commission is to be, completed at a luncheon Tuesday in explained nothing of significance has been done.

Right now, he and other airport officials claim, the airport desperately needs three things: A glide slope, at a cost of as much as $1 million, to complete the airport's Instrument Landing System (ILS). A runway. The longest now is 5,000 feet. More hangar space. All three items, say officials, are hurting DeKalb's chances of landing big corporations and seriously.inconveniencing business there now.

No one will say DeKalb-Peachtree is unsafe, even though the first two items relate directly to safety. "We've got a pretty darn good safety record," said one professional pilot critical of the airport in other respects. The same pilot pointed out that he can't take off in the corporate jet he flies with more than a half-load of fuel because of the short runway. As Manget put it, that "nullifies the effect of a fast jet if the pilot has to stop and refuel it." Without the glide slope, any time visibility drops to less than one mile or the cloud ceiling to less than 400 feet, the pilot has got to hunt someplace else to put down. These two factors, said Manget, "affect us quite a bit." But for the economics of it, the third is just as bad.

Manget has a waiting list of 150 planes trying to become based at DeKalb-Peachtree. By 1982, says the FAA, present hangar capacity will need to be doubled. crash killing seven persons, that was it.

A.

(Billy) Johnson. Johnson and 10 others were on trial for their alleged participation in a seven-state prostitution ring that federal authorities believe Johnson headed. A total of eight counts have been stricken from the original 44-count indictment, and all charges against two defendants have been dropped by the action. U.S. District Judge Albert J.

Henderson dismissed the only charge against Roger Franklin Holtzclaw, a conspiracy allegation, on Thursday. The government failed to link Holtzclaw to any interstate prostitution activities, Henderson said. On Wednesday, a conspiracy charge against 36-year-old Gordon Sheets of Johnson City, was dropped after the government also failed to link him with the alleged prostitution. One count against another Rome defendant, Michael Cleamons, was also dropped Thursday. However, other charges are stilling pending against Cleamons.

Defense attorneys called six witnesses to the stand, including a former associate of Johnson in the bonding business, Mike Farmer, and Fred Rhulman, the FBI agent who headed the investigation of Johnson.

Experts from Sea World, a marine attraction in Orlando, were flown in to advise workers and truckloads of equipment were on the way to try to get the still-living whales off the sandbar, Hendrix said. Also enroute to the scene were Dr.

Robert Schimpff and Dr. Nicholas Bell of the University of Florida Health Center in Gainesville. Both men helped investigate the beachings near Sarasota last week. "We don't know what is causing these beachings and that's what we are very concerned about," said Schimpff, a pathologist. "Two strandings in such a short time.

It seems incredible that this has happened." He said results of tests performed on the dead dolphins would not be available for several days. Twenty-three of the dolphins, a form of mammal similar to the porpoise, died on the beach. Two others died later at Sea World. Schimpff said the theories included parasitic infections of the sinuses or inner ears which might affect the animals' sonar apparatus, or other infections of the nervous system. He said he doubted pollution could be a factor because both species usually live far enough out to sea to avoid man-caused pollution.

"It is very much a mystery," he said. "I don't know if we will solve the mystery but we will try." FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP)-Five pilot whales beached themselves on Gulf Coast sandbars Thursday, and dozens of others were reported lurking close to shore, officials said. Two of the beached creatures were dead. "There are in close to shore where they're not usually found," said Benny Hendrix, a Marine Patrol spokesman.

He said the beachings occurred Thursday morning, and the other pilot whales were spotted offshore Thursday afternoon. Last week, 25 spinner dolphins beached themselves and died near Sarasota, a Gulf Coast city about 70 miles north.

The above slreels abandonments will come belore the City Utilities Committee of the Atlanta Cily Council on August 1), Commissioners Milton Far-ris.

Richard Johnston, J. 0. Wyatt and H. D. Dodson said they would vote for increased benefits, with Farris adding that he would favor hikes for all of the county's retirees.

But on Wednesday, the commissioners had been told by Assistant County Atty. John Tye Ferguson that a 1976 law granting them the authority to increase the pensions for pre-1964 retirees was unconstitutional, and the commissioners learea tnat they would be held personally liable for disbursing county funds without authority. The increases would cost the county about $144,000 a year. The commissioners voted to await legal action over the 1976 law before increasing the pensions. But after more consultations with Fergurson, commissioners learned that under the 1974 Home Rule provisions of the state constitution, county commissioners, not the state legislature, have sole authority over pensions.

"Whether the 1976 law is unconstitutional or not has nothing to do with it," Farris said. "The way I read it, we can do it on our own, and my vote is to grant the increases." Farris said some pensioners get only $35 to $90 a month from the pension fund and "that's not enough to buy groceries even with food stamps and whatnot." Johnston, who is a member of the pension board, said he was now willing to review the pension fund's financial condition and look for ways to grant increases for the pre-1964 retirees. Johnston said he talked with Ferguson after Wednesday's meeting and learned of the 1974 constitutional provision. "Yes, I would favor granting the increases," he added. By GARY HENDRICKS Prospects brightened Thursday for Fulton County pensioners to.

get increases in their benefits, as Fulton commissioners learned that they have had powers since 1974 to grant such retirement hikes. Four of the seven county commissioners said they favored increased benefits for county pensioners who retired before 1964 and are getting as little as $90 a month from the county fund. at I fm in committee Room No. 2, Atlanta City Hal GIVEN Under my hand and seat of of fice this 20tn day ot July. 1976 J.

one p.m., fourth floor, Police Headquarters, 175 Decatur MARTA Mulls Name Switches S.E. Ruby L. Miller, Lie. 100 With the new understanding about the 1974 constitutional provision, both Johnston and Farris said they felt the rest of the commission would approve increasing pension benefits. Meanwhile, County Manager Sam Brownlee said Thursday that the pension fund is financially sound and could stand the extra drain on it caused by increasing benefits.

He said also that the commission could cover the increased benefit payments by drawing on the county's general operating budget, but he discounted that possibility. "I can tell you right now there is no money in the general fund for that," Brownlee said. One of the reasons the 1976 law is considered unconstitutional by county legal advisors is the fact that the state has no authority to direct a county to either raise or lower its pension payments. "If the state can tell us to raise them, then the state can also tell us to lower them." Finance' Director Virginia Stanton said. Mrs.

Stanton, who is the financial director of the pension fund, also said she was wary about signing checks with the increased benefits as provided bv the 1976 law. "I think I would be held personally responsible for signing those checks, and I don't think I would put myself jn such a position," she added.

(UPD-A theft warrant was issued Thursday for Bud Hcrrin, a candidate for the state Senate, who claimed incumbent state Sen. Roscoe Dean was behind the charges. Municipal Court Judge Victor Mulling reissued the theft-by-conversion warrant that had been previously issued on behalf of Madeline Prouse of Wilmington Island. The warrant was first issued in December, 1975, and sent to both Brunswick and Jesup, where Herrin has business dealings, but did not reach Herrin. The reissued warrant was being sent to the same two cities again.

The warrant charges Herrin, a gubernatorial candidate In 1974, with converting $7,000 from a Wilmington Island land investment to his own use. Hcrrin said Dean was "in cahoots'' with Mrs. Prouse "to smear my name and discredit my campaign against him." Dean denied the allegation, saying "that's between him and that woman." Herrin said he "feared for my life" and would not surrender to Chatham County authorities "until I feel safe to go into Savannah." exisling discharge enters Oekev Woods Creek In Ihe Ochlocknee River Basin.

ters, 175 Decatur S.E. Marion A. Morrison, Lie. By SHARON BAILEY How do you decide what to name a rapid transit station especially when there are two candidates for the honor? That's the puzzle facing MARTA, which has pending requests to change the name of seven rapid transit stations within the MARTA system. In coming up with names originally, the transit agency tried to keep to nearby streets or neighborhoods, said Morris Dil-lard, MARTA's assistant general manager for planning and public affairs.

But now, he told the MARTA Staff Committee Thursday, community groups, government officials and even MARTA staffers hope the names of some stations will be switched. On the east rail line, there's a proposal to rename the Grant Street station the King Memorial station in honor of Martin Luther King whose church and burial place are nearby. Community groups want the Moreland Avenue station renamed, the Inman Park Reynoldstown station, and the Candler Park station dubbed the Candler ParkEdgewood station, to describe specifically the neighborhoods served. Then there's the Avondale station, which some DeKalb officials think would be better named the Sam's Crossing station, after a famous railroad crossing where it will be built. Some folk also think MARTA's Tenth Street station, on the north line, should be renamed the Midtown station.

And finally, some MARTA planners think that two downtown stations, Techwood and Cain Street, should be called the Omni and Peachtree Center stops. It gets even more complicated, remarked MARTA Planning Director Manuel Padron, because architects prefer names no lonper than 13 characters. Otherwise, the names get unwieldy on maps and other graphics. "Whatever we call them, some people won't like it," sighed MARTA board member William R. Probst.
