He was elected chairman of the DeKalb tigation Division forensic laboratory in this country, could become the site the only one in the world if the lab in Germany closes as scheduled. And some units of the Georgia Army National Guard are being moved from Confederate Avenue onto the post. Moody AFB near Valdosta, which previously housed only fighter jets, will this year complete its transition into a home for a composite wing that includes fighter jets, A-10 ground-attack aircraft and C-130 cargo planes. Fort McPherson, home to the Army's Forces Command and Third Army headquarters, is scheduled to consolidate the headquarters of the U.S. Army Reserve Command in a new building on post.

As the military continues to draw down and restructure, Allen said, the decisions by the Pentagon and BRACC on what to cut become much more difficult. "There's very little fat left," he said. (in gia bases fit that description the Marine Corps Logistics Center in Albany, the Army's Fort Gillem in Forest Park and the Air Logistics Center at Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins. They, along with Atlanta's Fort McPherson, were added to BRACC's original list last May. All were spared after last-minute scrambling by Georgia officials.

"Until the final 1995 list is known, it's prudent for us to prepare for any eventuality," said Allen, the former commander of Fort McPherson. Those preparations will include Allen and the governor's 38-member committee working with local leaders not only to prepare for BRACC '95, but to examine possible technology spinoffs into the civilian workplace and' explore ways bases can better use their resources to enhance quality of life for military and civilian personnel. Some of Georgia's bases also have been adding military responsibilities and expanding their missions, which will make it more difficult for BRACC to close them. For example: Fort Gillem, which now has the Army's only Criminal Inves- By Ron Martz STAFF WRITER When members of the federal Base Realignment and Closure Commission go gunning for additional military bases to close a year from now, Georgia officials plan to be ready for them. They were caught off guard last year when four of the state's facilities were unexpectedly added to BRACC's hit list, but Gov.

Zell Miller's Georgia Defense Initiative, announced six months ago, is now working to help communities prepare defenses if their bases are targeted. "This one's going to be painful for the entire country," said retired Army Col. Frank Allen, recently named director of the, governor's Military Affairs Coordinating Committee. Whether this fourth and final round of congressionally mandated base closures will be painful for Georgia won't be known until the Pentagon makes its recommendations to BRACC on March 1, 1995. But BRACC members have said the 199S round of closures would focus on bases with large maintenance facilities and excess storage space.

Moss. The trial for Billy Ray Robertson, 44, of Lawrenceville, the third man charged in the incident, has not been scheduled.

Police said the motive appeared to be robbery and that Robertson, a used-car dealer, had done business with Reid, an Schools: Henry bond issue faces stiff opposition Continued from Bl in metro Atlanta have met with little oppositidn in recent years. Suburban voters have endorsed bond issues for new school construction to keep pace with rapid growth, and Atlanta residents passed a $94 million bond issue two years ago to replace and renovate aging schools.

Last year, voters in Gwinnett and Fulton approved the largest bond issues to date in. their counties $225 million and $175 million, respectively. Also last year, voters approved much smaller bond issues in Cherokee and Bartow counties. But recent attempts to pass bond referendums in Fayette and Henry have taken two tries. It took Fayette two passes for a $27.5 million effort, finally approved in 1988.

Henry's request three years ago for $25 million passed on its second try.

DEKALB: Police wait to see if officer's bullet killed teen.

Police have postponed further questioning in the shooting death of a De-Kalb County teenager who was shot at by an off-duty Atlanta police officer until they get results of tests from the State Crime Lab. "We're waiting on the analysis of the bullet to tell us whose gun it came from," said Sgt. T.E. Pursley. Police say they are unsure whether the bullet that killed Demetrius Webb, 19, came from the off-duty officer who fired at Webb or from earlier gunfire.

DeKalb police and eyewitnesses are at odds over the circumstances of the Friday night shooting. Police say the Atlanta officer fired in self-defense; friends of Webb said the officer killed the unarmed teen as he turned to run. CHEROKEE: Woman found stabbed to death at her home. A 36-year-old woman was found stabbed to death at her home Sunday afternoon, according to Cherokee County authorities. Rachael Argo Pruitt was found shortly after 1 p.m.

at her mobile home on Vandiver Road, off Georgia 140 west. Pruitt, who worked at a supermarket in Canton, was last seen about 6 p.m. Saturday. An autopsy is planned today. Cherokee County sheriffs investigators were questioning relatives Sunday night, Capt.

Vic West said. jjjjffi SNELLVILLE: Young man reports being raped. An 18-year-old man told police he was raped in a restroom at a Snellville park Sunday afternoon. The victim told police he walked into a restroom at Briscoe Park about 2:30 p.m. and was confronted by someone inside.

The man told police he drove home after the attack and told relatives. He later was taken by police to the Gwinnett Rape Crisis Center for an examination, Snellville police Capt. M.E. Taylor said. "I have mixed emotions, but personally Ym going to vote against it." SI ELLIOTT Henry County property owner Sentiment among many Henry residents these days runs against the bond referendum.

Some don't want to pay for the auditorium or athletics1 facilities. Others want to see Henry tumble from its ranking as the llth-fastest-growing county in the nation, and see turning down the bond referendum as a way to force public officials to slow development. Henry's population was 58,741 in 1990, and it's growing by 10 percent each year. "I have mixed emotions, but personally I'm going to vote against it," said Si Elliott, a fifth-generation Henry County resident and large property owner. "Our commissioners are letting the train run away full steam ahead and not trying to do anything about it." But Henry school officials are hoping they have targeted enough voters with a different view to get the referendum passed.

With $2,000 in donations, volunteers had brochures printed and say they've identified 7,000 people who say they'll vote for the bond referendum. "We're working hard and we'll continue to work hard until 7 p.m. Tuesday night," Boehmer said. FULTON: Autopsy results unclear about cause of death. The Fulton County medical examiner's office performed an autopsy Sunday on Dr.

Mei Lu, 31, but were unable to say with certainty what caused her death. Blood samples were sent to a toxicology lab for further testing. Lu's body was found Saturday floating in the Chattahoochee River near Roswell. Lu, a Dunwoody doctor, had been missing since Feb. 12.

MARIETTA: Reward offered in death of student. A $10,000 reward has been offered by the family and former employer of Heather UfFelman, beaten to death with a hammer in a Marietta motel in October 1992, for information about the man who killed her. A retelling of the case is to be broadcast March 23 in a segment of the NBC program "Unsolved Mysteries." The reward was offered by Uf-felman's mother and Century City Artists Inc. in the hope of spurring new leads in the investigation, which Marietta police have pursued without success. UfFelman and her fiance, Jeremy Rolfs, both students at Middle Tennessee State University, came to Marietta to deliver a computer to a man who had said he wanted to buy it.

Rolfs and the man, who said his name was Tom Johnson, had met several times in Murfreesboro, to negotiate sale of the computer. After the couple met Johnson in his room at the Knight's Inn on Delk Road, Johnson pulled a gun and ordered them to roll themselves up in blankets. Then he bashed their heads with a hammer, killing UfFelman and severely injuring Rolfs. Frorq staff reports DEATHS ELSEWHERE Peyton Hoge Houston Retired executive, poet Greenwich, Conn.
