Scatt Backs Public Financing of Federal Elections
Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scatt endorses public funding for 1976 presidential, Senate, and House campaigns, joining Senator Edward Kennedy. The plan would bar private contributions, raise the income tax checkoff to two dollars, exclude primaries, and fund general elections with federal money amid calls for tighter enforcement and disclosures. A separate note: audits and investigations are underway into 1972 senatorial campaigns.

Georgia Farmer Fires on Gold UFO Near Griffin
Georgia farmer Ray Lawhorn reported firing several shots at a gold lit UFO described as large as a man’s head that drifted toward his house near Brooks community eight miles from Griffin. The object vanished, leaving a charred dirt road marking and a soil sample to be analyzed by a Georgia Experiment Station specialist. Lawhorn, who woke with his five year old daughter, initially hesitated to report the incident for fear of ridicule.
