Albert Brewer was in Wetumpka Tuesday night, addressing a S25-a-ticket barbecue dinner and rally for the third party presidential campaign of former Gov. George Wallace. ''We're going to take the whole state of Alabama to Washington for the next inauguration," Brewer told a crowd of 400 to 500 supporters in Wetumpka's National Guard Armory, predicting that Wallace "can win because he is the only candidate for the presidency who is speaking on the issues." State officials accompanying Brewer included Finance Director Bob Ingram, standing next to the governor during the pledge of allegiance to the flag.

Local Aviator Corners Suspect ATMORE, Ala. (AP) A state airplane, piloted by a Beverage Control Board agent, gave chase to a suspected moonshiner Tuesday afternoon forcing the man to ditch his car near here. P. C. Williams of Montgomery said he flew the plane at low altitudes over the car as it moved along the highway.

The suspect abandoned the car and ran for cover in a patch of woods. Other agents joined the pursuit on foot and apprehended O.Z. Riley, 34, of Freemanville, in the wooded area. He was charged with transportation of untaxed whisky and placed in the Baldwin County Jail. Williams said he spotted the suspect coming out of the woods apparently carrying whisky on his back.

The man got into his car and the highspeed chase began, he said. Ten gallons of moonshine whisky were later found in the auto trunk, agents said. A. C. McDonald ABC district enforcement chief, said the incident marked the first time a state plane had participated in a chase in this area.

The instrument permits "the heavens" to be rotated in a position where the viewers do not have to crare Iheir necks to see. All of the seats face in the same direction.
