Power Of Women
In Georgia House
ATLANTA (UPI) — Members
of Georgia’s House of Repre
sentatives today were shaking
their beads In solemn study over
their estimate of the power said
to be Invested in women.
The test of strength came
Wednesday when one lawmaker
tried to amend a domestic re
lations bill to say that women
should pay alimony to husbands
In divorce cases In which the
women were at fault.
In the voice vote that follow
ed there was a tumultuous roar
of “ayes” from 150 masculine
throats. But soprano “no’s”
came from the Ups of two lady
representatives.
Bang went the gavel of act
ing Speaker George D. Busbee,
who shouted: “The ‘no’s’ have
It.”
The speaker, after being con
gratulated (by a woman) on his
“statesmanlike” ruling, dryly
commented: “You didn’t hear
any of the men asking for a
roll can vote, did you?”

Wants To Be Drafted
BRUNSWICK, Ga. (UPI) —
Willert Howard Lynn Jr. is on
his way to Washington to pro
tect his draft status. He doesn’t
want out, he wants In.
Lynn was turned down by the
Air Force because he lost the
tip of his thumb in a lawn
mower accident in August, 1964.
That didn’t stop Lynn. He be

Herman Talmadge, Rep. Rus

Hershey, director of Selective
Service.
Two weeks ago he went to
his draft board to request a

Smith agreed that the thumb

that Lynn should receive a

“I totally disagree with the
man’s statements,” the arch
bishop said. But added, “I dis
agree with conviction just as

He said that the legislature’s
refusal to seat Bond “pushed
our progressive state backward
and served the old unchange

But Lynn doesn’t want to
wait for all the red tape. He
headed for Washington to see
the U. S. Surgeon General to
get the thumb requirement
waived.
His local draft board says
that when he returns he can
still go to Jacksonville for the

Bond
Freedom
By AL KUETTNER
United Press International
ATLANTA (UPI) — Rejected
Negro Rep.-elect Julian Bond's
attorney indicated Wednesday
the right of freedom of speech
was on trial in a federal court
suit seeking Bond’s acceptance
by the Georgia House of Repre
sentatives.
Attorneys for Bond and the
state of Georgia filed final
briefs with a three-judge feder
al panel which is expected to
make an early ruling In the
case.
Howard Moore, representing
Bond, said the issue was not
whether the 26 - year - old civil
rights worker was right or
wrong in criticising U. S. policy
in Viet Nam and suggesting e
vasion of the draft. The House
voted 185-12 not to seat Bond
because of these views.
Rule of Law
‘‘The issue is whether Julian
Bond will have a judgment
from this court which will dem
onstrate to the world that our
policies at home square with
our aims abroad and that the
rule of law at home will not
fall victim to unreasoning hys
teria,” Moore said.
He said the cornerstone of
the democratic Ideal is the free
dom of speech embodied in the
First Amendment of the Consti
tution and unless that right is
protected by the court “the
very reason for this contest
(Viet Nam) will have little
meaning.”
Atty. Gen. Arthur K. Bolton
argued, however, the Supreme
Court always has held that
speech is ‘‘not absolute—it is
subject to restriction and limi
tation.
“The statements made by
Mr. Bond were more than a
mere philosophical discussion
more than a dissent. Mr. Bond
advocated action. He advocated
that men should not enlist in
the armed forces and should
8

Speech
avoid the draft by any
means...” said Bolton.
Not Protected
The Georgia attorney general
argued that should Bond be
tried under the “strongest pos
sible sedition law ... his state
ments would not be protected
under the First Amendment.”
Bolton contended the legisla
ture has the right to judge the
qualifications of its members
and that the court’s decision
not only would affect all 50
states but also the “delicate re
lationship between the federal
courts and the Congress of the
United States.”
The court earlier had ruled
that race was not an issue in
the case since the House seated
seven other Negro representa
tives.
Bond’s seat has been declared
vacant by the House and Gov.
Carl E. Sanders has scheduled
a special election for Feb. 23,
five days after the legislature
adjourns. Bond is a candidate
for the seat that he won by an
overwhelming vote from a pre
dominantly Negro district In
Atlanta.

Compromise Bill
ATLANTA (UPI) Rep.
George Bagby today began
drafting a compromise of his
fought-over workmen’s compen
sation bill so that it will aim
only at major present abuses.
Bagby agreed after a long
debate between labor and man
agement at a hearing Wednes
day to modify increases in ben
efits for injured workmen.
With this settled, the House
Industrial Relations Committee
recessed without taking further
action on the bill which had
called for 31 changes in present
law.

forecast a big fight over the
proposal, said industry lobbyists
swarmed to the Capitol to draft
opposition support. Bagby him
self brought in a huge labor
delegation.
Bagby agreed to reduce pro
posed increases in benefits for
injured workmen to a maxi
mum of $48 per Week instead
of $50 for total disability. The
maximum is now $37.
Firms covered would remain
limited to those with 10 or more
employes. Bagby first proposed
three or more, and then eight
or more. Industry opposition de
feated him.
Speed Bill
Change Asked
ATLANTA (UPI) — Republi -
can Rep. Joe S. Higginbotham
has introduced a bill to give
speeding motoric ts a bit of lee
way before their licenses can
be revoked.
The measure Introduced
Wednesday was expected to
soften opposition to an adminis
tration proposal to restore the
right of local authorities to use
the exacting radar speed tim
ers.
Higginbotham, of Dectaur,
proposed that a conviction for
speeding could not count toward
causing a motorist to lose his
license unless he travels at
least 11 miles per hour over the
limit.
