ARGENTINE DAM
PROMOTES PROGRESS
BUENOS AIRES (AP) - The new
Ullum Dam in western Argentin ,
scheduled for completion in mid-197,
will open up the desert zone of San
Juan Province in the Andes foothills
to colonization and additional agri-
cultural farmland.
More than 60 per cent of the work
on Ullum Dam has been completed,'
and now work is starting on the 1,075-
acre park zone around the dam site.
In addition to adding to the
panorama from high above on Mount
Ullum, the dam will be used to
irrigate the arid region, enabling
people to settle on farms. This
government plan is designed to aid in
depopulating urban centers such as
Greater Buenos Aires, and to boost
the country's agriculture.

(Continued from Page 1)
Lance-run First National Bank of
Calhoun, Ga., was "an asset for a
candidate like the goose that lays a
golden egg.".
After a second full day of grilling
the budget director, the committee
adjourned its public session until a
rare Saturday hearing.
MATHIAS ALLEDGED the over-
drafts constituted a political loan by
the bank to Lance, its president, in
violation of federal banking laws. He
said a federal banking investigator,
John Sherry, had considered them a
violation in a 1975 report.
But Lance noted the Department of
Justice already had'considered the
matter and declined to prosecute. He
also said it was an old issue that the
Senate Government Operations Com-
mittee had considered at the original
confirmation hearings in January for
Lance's appointment as director of
the Office of Management and
Budget.
The committee, now known as the
Governmental Affairs Committee, is
conducting new hearings into
Lance's financial problems. In addi-
tion to Lance, an issue before the
committee is whether it failed to con-
duct adequate confirmation hearings
for Lance in the first place.
PRESIDENT CARTER, meanwhile,
told a group of journalists he still has
an open mind on Lance, but he ap-
peared pleased by the way the hear-
ings had gone so far. "Now that he
has answered those charges - I hope
and believe successfully - I think he
has certainly enhanced his position."
Lance said that with respect to the
campaign overdrafts, the responsi-
bility for check writing rested with
his campaign committee while he
was actively engaged in vote-seek-
ing. But he did not deny that being
able to write overdrafts may have
given him an advantage.
Lance did flatly deny allegations
by Mathias that he had delayed on
one or more occasions to sign the
papers that gave the FBI permission',
to investigate his background and

Overdrafts common
at Lance 's old bank

determine his fitness for the OMB
post after Carter nominated him.
APPEARING RUFFLED for the
first time in the two days of hearings,
Lance said, "Nobody ever told me
there was any difficulty at all in get-
ting any sort of paper signed by me."
"As soon as it was put before me I
signed it ... I have nothing to be as-
hamed of, nothing to hide, I didn't
fear any sort of FBI investigation,"
Lance said.
Sen. Abraham Ribicoff (D-Conn.)
accused Lance of breaking a promise
to halt overdrafts by bank officers.
RIBICOFF, CHAIRMAN of the com-
,mittee, released a letter Lance wrote
to Joseph Ream, Atlanta regional

comptroller, on Oct. 25, 1973.
The letter states that the manage-
ment of the Calhoun First National
Bank "has been instructed to take
immediate action to cure overdrafts
of directors, officers, employees and
members of their families."
However, Ribicoff said the over-
drafts more than doubled until Lance
and his relatives were overdrawn by
as much as $450,000 in mid-1975.
Lance replied there was no loss to
the bank and that the overdrafts
were not criticized in a subsequent
comptroller's report in 1974.
Lance also explained tok the cm-
mittee that the ,Calhoun bank had
permitted overdrafts for personal
accounts because ank officers knew
everyone in town and theyalsc

ATLANTA (AP) - Residents of
Bert Lance's hometown this, week
confirmed the federal budget direc-
tor's testimony before a Senate
committee that it was common prac-
tice for Calhoun First National Bank
to allow overdrafts on customers'
accounts.
"This is true. The Calhoun bank at
one time had a very liberal policy on
overdraft," said Calhoun pharmacist
Jack Mullins. "I myself was once
overdrawn $10,000 to $12,000. They
have allowed overdrafts to people
who they have deemed worthy."
LANCE TESTIFIED before the
Senate Governmental Affairs Com-
mittee that overdrafts were accepted
practice in a rural bank where the
bank personnel knew the customers.
The Rev. Emory Brackman of the
First Methodist Church, to which
Lance belongs, said he had talked
with a number of Calhoun business-
men, "and they admitted that be-
cause of their good standing or repu-
tations, they at times had $4,000 to
$5,000 overdrafts, which in a few days
or weeks they would take care of."
Lance, director of the Office of
Management and Budget, personally
ran up overdrafts of as much as
$26,000, while his wife and eight
relatives ran up a total of $450,000 at
one time.
LANCE TOLD the Senate commit-
tee, which is examining allegations
of financial improprieties against

Lance before he was appointed
budget director, that the Calhoun
bank's overdraft policy was applied
to all customers and the bank suf-
fered only minor losses from the
policy.
The pi'actice was stopped after it
wa* criticized by bank examiners.
"There is a lot of difference
between New York and Chicago and
a town of 5,000 like Calhoun," said
pharmacist Mullins. "The bank knew
and knows each person they are
dealing with. We're not numbers.
What he said was totally true."
JOHN HOUSER, a Calhoun busi-
nessman, said the town's bank "just
a few years ago was still operating in
a country way. Everyone knew
everyone else.
"If a businessman becomes over-
drawn and he is a reasonably good
customer, they'll call him up and tell
him. I don't want to give the im-
pression that we're getting free loans
or anything; you had to pay, but they
didn't bounce your checks immedi-
ately."
Brackman and Calhoun Mayor
Billy Burdette said they were among
the bank's customers who built up
overdrafts.
"I don't think this is a widespread
common thing," Brackman said. "I
would not say there was a continuous
flood of overdrafts across the city.
But most businessmen probably have
had overdrafts."
