Soviet citizens. Much of California is closed because if its

Ooenina set for airport
I w I
ATLANTA ? Travelers may not, as the old saying goes,
"be able to get to hell without changing planes in
Atlanta." But while they're waiting in the largest terminal
in the world, they'll have plenty to see.
The new Hartsfield International Airport complex*
scheduled to open Sept. 21, could easily be used as a movie
set for a "Star Wars" sequel.
me $600 million complex, which uses three existing
runways, is big enough to cover 11 football fields.
Although travelers will want to stop and look, airport
spokesman John Braden said everything at the massive
complex, the second busiest in the world behind Chicago's
O'Hare Airport, is designed to get passengers out - fast.
"The basic function of the design is to facilitate the flow
of aircraft, automobiles and passengers," Braden said.

Imports get best mileage
WASHINGTON ? American automakers, despite offering
their most fuel-efficient cars ever this fall, have yet
to break the stranglehold held by the imports on fuel
economy.
For the third straight year, the 10 cars getting the best
mileage in the 1981 model year are all foreign-made,
according to statistics released today by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
And for the fourth straight year, Volkswagen's dieselengined
Rabbit is ranked No. 1 with a 42-mile-per-gallon
estimate in city driving for its 1981 four-speed model.
While the Rabbit is assembled in Pennsylvania, it is
listed by the EPA as an import because more than 20
percent of its parts are imported.
A new Toyota model, the Starlet, took second place with
39 mpg, followed by the five-speed version of the diesel
VW Rabbit at 38 mpg.
rne Dest mileage a domestic car got in Uie EPA ratings
in i960 was 26 mpg by the Chevy Chevette. But nine 1981
models beat that mark.
Banker predicts rate hike
ASHEVILLE, N.C. ? The Carter Administration has
manipulated interest rates on Federal Housing Administration
home loans for political reason, charged the
executive vice president of the Mortgage Bankers
Association of America Friday.

Mortgage Bankers Association of the Carolinas, also

consumer price index is tabulated before the election.
Reidy charged the administration has been keeping
FHA interest rates at 12 percent artificially to make it
appear the rate of inflation is slowing.
This has been done by requiring home sellers to pay a fee
of 9 percent to 10 percent of the selling price to the lenders
for making FHA loans, Reidy said.
The result has been that the lending market is in chaos,
lenders are losing money on some FHA loans and some
homeowners are refusing to s$ll to buyers who want to
obtain FHA loans, he said. ;

ANDERSON ? Two men who investigate sightings of
unidentified flying objects say they want to determine ii
some Anderson County residents really saw what they
think they saw.
11eei lixe tnis is a credible, believable sighting," said
Pete Mazzola. "We want to see if there is any trace of a
UFO."
Mazzola, a New York City policeman, and Jim Fillow, a
former New Jersey policeman, came to Anderson Friday
as members of the New York-based Scientific Bureau of
Investigation, which probes UFO sightings.
Four Anderson County deputies and some residents of
the Broadway Lake area of Anderson County reported
they watched a brightly lit object in the sky for a couple of
hours early Thursday morning.
Some of the residents said before the deputies arrived,
the disc-shaped object hovered over their homes, lighting
the area and making a humming noise before it zoomed
away.
Noosed dummy removed
A 77-year-old Columbia area man has taken down the
black vinyl dummy hanging by a noose in his yard that
upset some of his neighbors.
Guy Waites, a white retired railroad employee and
former policeman, said the armless vinyl dummy scared
away dogs. "I was just tired of people griping," Waites
said late Thursday. "I'm a peace-loving man. I don't want
to cause any trouble."
Waites took the dummy down at the urging of C.J.
Whittaker, a black minister, and Tom Elliott, a
Democratic candidate for Richland County Council.
Nathaniel Daniel, a black who said he was a "concerned
citizen" trying to prevent hard feelings among area
blacks, had called the dummy "a throwback to the davs
we want to forget...It is a detailed effigy of a lynching.
Waites said the dummy was originally used by the .
Army at Fort Jackson for training and was painted white>:
Rain exposed the black material underneath.
