The State
Carter to become Emory visiting professor
Former President Jimmy Carter
ATLANTA (UPI) -
Former President Jimmy
Carter Wednesday called on
Argentina to withdraw its
forces from the Falkland
Islands and said the United
States should play a stronger
role in Mideast peace ef
forts.
Carter made the com
ments at a news conference
held at Emory University to
announce he will become
visiting professor at the
school beginning Sept. 1 He
said he will conduct
seminars and classroom
lectures for government and
international affairs
students.
The former president said
it was “a tragedy for our
country and for the world to
see the continued violence in
the Middle East,” and took
the Reagan Administration
to task for not being a
stronger mediator
He said the Camp David
accords between Egypt and
Israel provide “a very good
basis" for peace if President
Reagan will vigorously
pursue them.
He said the three points
Reagan needs to resolve in
the Mideast are the
assurance of Israel's
security, settlement of the
Palestinian homeland issue
and the long-term status of
the West Bank and Gaza
areas.
"There are no easy an
swers,” said Carter "They
(Arabs and Israelis) need a
strong and forceful presence
from the United States."
Carter said he and ex
secretary of state Cyrus
Vance were intimately in
volved in Egypt-lsrael af
fairs. “I haven't seen that
same high level of com
mitment on the part of the
president and the secretary
of state to continue the Camp
David accords,” he said.
Carter praised Secretary
of State Alexander Haig for
his "efforts to prevent
bloodshed” in the Falklandx,
but emphasized the United
Nations Security Council has
branded Argentina the
aggressor. "I agree with
that assessment,” said
Carter
"I think Argentina ought
to withdraw their occupation
forces from the Falkland
Islands," the former
president declared, adding,
"Our major commitment
should be that Great Britain
is the aggrieved party.
Argentina is the aggressor
nation."
Citizens petition for Williams ’fair trial
ATLANTA (UPI) — A group of concerned citizens has
launched a petition drive in an effort to seek a "fair” trial for
Wayne B. Williams, convicted in two of 28 slayings of young
blacks in Atlanta.
"We’re not saying Wayne Williams is innocent or guilty,"
said John H. Lewis, a retired contractor. “All we're saying is
that he did not get a fair trial."
lewis said Wednesday over 1,500 signatures had been
collected and submitted to Fulton County Superior Court
Judge Clarence Cooper, who presided over the two-month-
long Williams trial, in hopes he will order a retrial.
Williams was convicted Feb. 28 and sentenced to two
consecutive life terms for the slayings of Nathaniel Cater, 28,
and Jimmy Ray Payne, 21 — two of 29 young blacks whose
mysterious deaths and disappearances over a two-year
period were investigated by a special task force.
Lewis said the drive grew out of efforts to raise money for
Williams' defense.
“Several of us didn't feel like Wayne Williams had a fair
trial," Lewis said. "We felt there was a lot of wrong handling
of the case.”
Cooper's law clerk said the judge will not be swayed by the
petition.
"What he has before him is a motion (for a new trial) and
that's all he can consider," law clerk Mike Smith said.
Cooper was not expected to rule on the motion until a
transcript of the trial can be prepared and he has had a
chance to review it.
Lewis said Williams' attorney Lynn Whatley gave him a
letter handwritten by Williams from his Fulton County jail
cell which expressed concern over “disturbing events ... still
occurring in Atlanta and Richland. Ga
Since June 1981, three teenage girls — two white, one black
— were abducted and slain in Richland. Williams also was
apparently referring to a series of unsolved murders of
women in the Atlanta area
I,aw enforcement officials, however, insist that the pattern
of the Atlanta murders do not fit with the killings referred to
by Williams.
Busbee approves budget,
drunk-driving law change
ATLANTA (UPI) — Gov. George Busbee
signed the state's $3 7 billion budget for next
fiscal year Wednesday and approved the
only major change the 1982 Georgia General
Assembly enacted in drunk-driving laws.
The new law by Sen. Paul Coverdell, R-
Atlanta, would require 16- and 17-year-old
drivers to get "conditional" licenses. Those
licenses would be clearly marked — so
bartenders and package store clerks could
spot underage customers at a glance — and
the juvenile's license could be revoked more
easily than an adult’s for drunk driving.
Young first offenders would get a
minimum 60-day license suspension, with
their licenses returned only after completion
of a driver-education course to familiarize
them with the dangers of driving while using
alcohol or drugs.
On second offense, the minimum penalty
would be a license suspension of 90 days — or
until the driver's 18th birthday, whichever is
longer.
The Coverdell bill also amended the
“habitual violator” law to require a man
datory $750 fine and a prison term of one to
five years for repeat offenders found guilty
of driving with a suspended license
In signing the record state budget, Busbee
vetoed only two language items One would
have prohibited vocational-technical schools
from college degrees, and the other would
have forbidden any state facilities to be used
by the Georgia Indigent Legal Services
program
The GILS program has been attacked by
many legislators who feel its attorneys have
used state money and facilities to sue state
agencies.
The budget language Busbee vetoed had
provided “that no state funds in this ap
propriation shall be paid to or on behalf of
Georgia Indigent Legal Services or its af
filiates, nor shall any state facilities be made
available for their use, including but not
limited to the Georgia Interactive Statewide
Telecommunications network, either
directly or indirectly.”
The language would have prohibited state
agencies from paying legal fees to GILS
affiliates, and would have forbidden the
legal-aid program to use state facilities,
including the GIST telephone service.
