Gandhi gets more power
NEW DELHI, India ? Prime Minister Indira Gandhi has
armed herself with the power to jail anyone for a year
without trial, raising fears of a return to her 1975-77
emergency rule. But the government says it has provided
safeguards against misuse of the new preventive detention
ordinance.
President Neelam Sanjiva Reddy signed the ordinance
Monday night giving the central and state governments
powers to detain any person regarded as a threat to state
security or maintenance of public order, supplies or
essential services. It became effective yesterday.
A government statement said the new government
puwers were required 10 comoai communal aisnarmony,
caste conflicts, social tension, atrocities
against...minorities and other weaker sections of the
society, and increasing tendencies on the part of various
interested parties to engineer agitation on different
issues." It also cited "secessionist activities."
The ordinance was issued in response to violence in
northern and eastern India in which nearly 1,500 persons
have been reported killed.

ATLANTA ? Georgia election officials have started the
process of printing ballots for the Nov. 4 election despite a
pending court case seeking to get independent
presidential candidate John Anderson's name on the
ballot.
The state's ballots were sent to a printer Monday
because "there's a lot of pressure for us to go ahead and
get the ballot out to the counties," said Selby McCash, a

"I intend to win this time. I'll be off probation by then. I

the Gastonia Gazette.
Griffin was a leader in the Klan counterdemonstration
in Greensboro Nov. 3 that left five members of the
Communist Workers Party dead of shotgun wounds. He
was not charged in the murders but was sentenced to six
months in jail in March for cross-burning.
Pilot talks of rescue attempt
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. ? A Marine Corps pilot who
participated in the aborted Iranian rescue mission says he
went on a national television talk show to discuss the
mission because he was proud of the outpouring of appreciation
from Americans.
Maj. Leslie B. Petty, defending himself against
criticism from some of the other survivors of the ill-fated
rescue mission, said he had permission from the Pentagon
to appear on NBC's "Today" and "Tomorrow" shows last
Thursday.
"I wanted to try and impart to the thousand of people
that wrote us letters down there and get-well cards from
all over the nation, and someplace elsewhere in the world,
I that I was very proud of them for coming out and saying
that they were proud of us for being brave and
courageous," he said.

Sara Jane Moore talks
CHARLESTON, W. Va. ? Imprisonment has done
nothing to shake Sara Jane Moore's belief that her attempt
to assassinate Gerald Ford five years ago was the
right thing to do. But now, 50 years old and serving a life
term, Ms. Moore says her days as a would-be presidential
assassin are over.
"I'm not at this time a potential assassin of anyone,"
she said in a telephone interview from the Federal
Correctional Institution at Alderson. "The fact that I'm
| well-known, I've been in prison and my age, well it's not a
I role for me. I can be more effective in other ways, like
writing or speaking, rather than as an assassin."
[ i It was Sept. 22, 1975, outside a San Francisco hotel,

I fired a single shot at the president. Her aim was deflected

Reagan to visit Oct. 10
South Carolina leaders of Ronald Reagan's presidential
campaign said Monday they hope the Republican
nominee's Oct. 10 visit to the capital will help Reagan carry
the state.
Reagan's brief stopover in Columbia during a
Southeastern campaign swing will closely parallel in format
President Carter's visit to Greenville and Spartanburg
counties last week.
Details of the former California governor s visit were
released Monday by U.S. Rep. Carroll Campbell, R-S.C.,
chairman of Reagan's South Carolina campaign.
Reagan is scheduled to arrive at Columbia Metropolitan
Airport at noon on Friday the 10th. He will travel by
motorcade to the State House, where he will address a rally
on the Capitol steps at 12:30 p.m.
After a $500-per-couple fund-raiser at the home of local
realtor Walter M. Keenan about 1:30 p.m., Reagan will
depart Columbia at 3 p.m., Campbell said.
Qfrnm ThnrmnnH rnnffrp?mpn Camobell and Flovd
Spence, former Gov. James B. Edwards and state
Agriculture Commissioner G. Bryan Patrick Jr. will be
among the Republican leaders on hand to greet Reagan.
Disaster in 39 counties
The federal Small Business Administration has declared
39 counties disaster areas, Gov. Riley said Tuesday.
The declaration of physical disaster because of the
summer's drought will enable farmers who have had crop
damage to apply for low interest loans, the announcement
said.
Beegie Truesdale of the governor's staff said farmers in
counties bordering on the 39 are also eligible for aid,
meaning the entire state is included.
The Small Business Administration earlier this month
approved an economic injury declaration for the state,
which meant agriculture-related businesses hurt by dry
weather could apply for loans.

Jesse Jackson in town
The Rev. Jesse Jackson preached the politics of involvement
to an audience of black college students Tuesday
and then marched scores of his listeners outside to become
registered voters under the trees.
Predominantly black Benedict College was Jackson's
first stop on a two-day registration swing through the state
to encourage blacks to vote Nov. 4, preferably for President
Carter's reelection.
"Hands that picked cotton in 1960 will pick a president in
1080," Jackson said in an emotional speech to about 600

announced that they would register immediately.

woman has been charged in connection with the death of
her husband, who died of strychnine poisoning three years

Sherwood Lyons. Bond was set at $2,500 on each charge in a
hearing Monday before County Chief Magistrate Ira Grady.
When Lyons died Sept. 17,1977, at the age of 27, the cause
of death was listed as cardiac arrest. But his body was
exhumed and an autopsy was performed Sept. 11 at the
request of his parents.
"There was enough strychnine in his stomach to kill a
mule," County Coroner William Smith said last week.
