material distribu d by a citi­

the incinerator would impart
poisonous substances, including
some that could cau e cancer.
This would not only affect thos
nearby th incinerator, but
could be wind blown into other
places.

CRAMMER SAID SHE and
her family were denied health
insurance through a
form of "red lining" , because
health conditions were already
so bad in Highland Park. The
incinerator, she said, would
make things worse.
Material that the residents
passed out warned that the peo­
ple who got job at th incinera­
tor plant would be in danger
from working with the danger­
ous sub tances. She warned
they might bring the toxic mate­
rial home on th ir sho and

Both City Attorney, Eric Daniel, and Aide to the Mayor,
Scotty Wainw ight, tat at he Monday, D mber 20 City

ever, Wainwright said that a tate official told them the state

official, so that hey could have hi information in writing.
They also request a opy of th state law under which the
Building Authority would e created.

Crammer warned that the

that th

before the city council before
citizen knew the details.
McLean said that because Fed­
eral legislation was being pro­
posed that would ban such
incinerators, there was a rush to '
put th m in states which had
weak environmental laws, par­
ticularly poorer areas.
Material passed out quoted
the Nelson Rockefeller Institute

saying that there were available
alternatives that were both­
safer and more economical than
incinerating medical waste.

monthly rents. Councilman
Frank Ross said the project was
trying to target residents mak­
ing 19,500 a year.
One ident stated, "Nobody
living in Highland Park can af­

dicating they had the same de­
sign as Auburn Hill housing.
One woman aid, "If it were
built, maybe some of my chil­

Park."
Council President Pro Tern
Christine Franklin suggested
building such houses in other
areas of the city, so that the
value of property in the entire
city would be raised. Admini­
stration officials stated they
were trying to do that.

Highland Park Council Presi­

would draw up new regulations
for cab licenses and submit them
to the City Council by the Janu­

til such regulations were placed
before it.
Downes, who was chosen to
put them together, said that the
A memo by Burns said the
man' claimed to have "a lot of
information that might put a dif­
ferent slant on the case," but
said he would need more money
than the $40 a day the show was
paying, Ewing told The Com­
mercial Appeal of Memphis.
The Observer in London
newspaper reported Sunday
that Garrison said a retired
Memphis businessman was paid
$100,000 for arranging to have
King murdered, and the shooter
was paid $10,000.
Garrison refused to say
reason for the delay was that it
was necessary to confer with the
city law department, and the de­
partment had been busy work­
ing out other-matters, including
the Chrysler settlement.

came from.
Ray confessed in 1969 to mur­
dering King but has tried re­
peatedly since then to take back
the confession and go to trial.
He took part in the TV movie
and repeated his claim that he
was eet up by a shadowy under­

"Raoul."
Ray is serving a 99-year
prison sentence at Riverbend

The King movie, called "Guilt
or Innocenc : The Trial of James
Earl Ray," was filmed in Mem­
phis in January. The movie,
broadcast in April, was staged to
look like a trial.
Garrison said one of his cli­
ents was questioned during the
filming but did not appear in the
finished movie, produced by
Thames Television of Britain
and the pay cable TV network
Home Box Office.
Hickman Ewing, a former
U.S. attorney who played the
part of prosecutor for the movie,
said he believes one' of Garri-
, son's clients is a former Mem­
phis busin sman who owned a,
restaurant near the Lorraine
Motel, where King was felled by
a rifle shot.
EWING SAID HIS investi­
gator during the movie, former
FBI agent Charlie Burns, met
with one of Garrison's clients
