Page 2 The Gaffney Ledger, Wednesday, May 2, 1979 Begin Blast U.S. For Visa f3 speaking tour on U.S. college campuses. Begin did not say when the note was sent, and it was not clear if it influenced the U.S. decision two weeks ago to deny el-Hout an extension of his visa.

Referring to the issue of Palestinian autonomy, Begin said outstanding problems, presumably including the settlement issue, could be resolved. "I believe we will reach an understanding with Egypt.

Cowpens Sets Special Vote For July 10 Cowpens Cowpens Mayor Carroll Davis said Tuesday that a special election to name a replacement for Councilman Eugene Craw ford has been set for July 10. Crawford resigned effective Monday citing increased business activities. Davis said petitions are available at the office of the Town Clerk.

The deadline for submitting petitions to the Municipal Flection Commission is June 9 at noon. The person selected to replace Crawford ill serve more than three years. Not only did Miller explain his plan to a dinner gathering of the Advertising Council. He illustrated it, ad-man fashion. At the close of the speech, the usually reserved central banker laughingly presented his hosts with red and yellow footballs, each inscribed with the numbers 1, 5 and 10.

"You now have the ball," he told them. "I hope you will run with it." The council sponsors public service ads on topics from Savings Bonds to forest fires. Miller explained that the numbers on the footballs were meant to illustrate his proposal. The policy he is pushing WASHINGTON (AP) Federal Reserve Board Chairman G. William Miller is calling the plays for an economic policy he hopes will help beat inflation by giving businesses more incentive to raise capital.

Miller wants the government to speed up the rate at which businesses write off capital expenditures "to give them every incentive to modernize their facilities and expand their i production capacity." The modernization, he said Tuesday night, would lead ultimately to more products made more efficiently. And, as the theory goes, that would temper rapid price increases. Miller suggested that Congress begin studying such a plan now "so that in 1980 we can put in place this powerful policy weapon of investment to bring us back in the next growth pattern." U. S. 29 Line Cowpens A contract for construction of 5.400 feet of sewer line from the town's lagoon to a new industrial park on S.

29 was awarded Tuesday night by Town Council The contract goes to Hobson Construction Company of Arden, N. C. The bid was $79,865. Mayor Carroll Davis, who presided over the special meeting, said the project will be finance with $55,000 recently received through the Governor's office with the remainder of the funding coming from 1979-80 federal revenue sharing money. JERUSALEM (AP) Prime Minister Menachem Begin blasted the United States today for granting a visa to a PLO guerrilla and said "if one day the Americans open negotiations with that organization of murderers, it will be a black day for free mankind." He also said in an independence day broadcast he was optimistic about reaching agreement with Egypt on Palestinian autonomy in occupied Arab territory, but that Israel will insist on the right of continued Jewish settlement.

As he spoke, Israeli nationalists marched through the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River to protest government reluctance to speed up settlement activity, and Saudi Arabia and Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization lashed out at Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Begin, in a wide-ranging 55minute interview on Israel Radio, said he sent a sharp protest note to Secretary of State Cyrus Vance demanding prior consultation with Israel before Washington makes any contact with officials of the PLO. The note was prompted by the granting of a visa to Shafik el-Hout, head of the PLO's Beirut office, for a Swamp (Continued from Page 1) the state with any horse unless it has been tested and a certificate is presented so stating. Penalties are given for possession of false certificates. All horses are required to be accompanied by written proof of an approved negative test when entering any public assembly for horses.

This includes shows, fairs, organized trail rides, rodeos, sales, and so on. It is apparent that the law, approved Feb. 14, 1978, is not being enforced and it is not clear, either in the law or in the minds of those horse owners concerned, who is empowered to enforce it. The Cherokee County Horseman's Association has called a meeting for Thursday, May 3, at 7:30 p.m. in the Progress Room of First Piedmont Federal.

The meeting is designed to do several things. First, the speaker will be Larry Hudson, the Equine Specialist at Clemson University. His topic will be on EIA and the Coggins test. An opportunity for discussion will be given all who attend. Also, Rep.

Mike Daniel. Rep. Olin Phillips, Sens. Robert Lake and John Long, and C. Agriculture Commissioner Bryan Patrick have been invited, hopefully to clarify the law and its enforcement procedures.

The Association also hopes to reach some agreement among its members so that the controversy can be resolved and the group's current status preserved. Janet Sarratt and others contend that the present situation should not be allowed to continue. "It is not right for me to see that my horses are protected only to have them be exposed to horses which have not even had the test," she said. "This destroys the intent of the law." She added that if the law cannot be enforced and is not going to be enforced, it should be repealed. On the other side of the fence, there are those who contend the EIA problem is "exaggerated" and claim the law is either too strict or "not necessary at all." Mrs.

Sarratt said everyone interested in horses, and especially those who own horses, are invited to the meeting Thursday night. Chief Seeks Policeman's Termination Chesnee Policeman Harold Dean White, recently acquitted on a murder charge, reinstated and later sought legal fees from the town, is now apparently facing loss of his job. Chesnee Police Chief Melvin Lancaster said that he will recommend that Town Council terminate the policeman's job. White was recently acquitted on a murder charge and reinstated to his job as a patrolman with $3,441 in back pay. Lancaster said he instructed White on Saturday to return to work at 3 p.

m. on Monday. However, Lancaster said White failed to appear for work on either Monday or Tuesday. Lancaster says he does not have the authority to hire or fire personnel. That responsibility belongs to Town Council.

Council has refused a request by White that the town pay $10,000 in legal fees for White's defense in the recent trial. White was acquitted by a jury two weeks ago in the October 1978 shooting death of a North Carolina man, William Gene Watkins. there will be no agreement?" He admitted, however, the negotiations would be "serious, perhaps even difficult." Local Youth Hurt In N. C.

The District 29 state representative said an engineer's study of the waterworks, made in February, shows the system is in good shape.

He said he has been told about $15,000 would put it in top-notch shape. Hep. Phillips said he had talked with Congressman Ken Holland and Gov. Dick Kiley and feels that funding will be available under any alternative. In any event, the future of the waterworks now seems to be in the hands of the people and their decision in the matter will likely pave the way to future action.
