them down with axes If local
authorities cannot or will not
act.
The clip joints are generally
roadside stands that prey upon
tourists with crooked dice
games.
Officials in the area expressed
surprise that any investigation
was in progress.
Sanders said “If we can’t get
local help, I will continue to
ask our officers to take what
ever action necessary.
“Tear Them Up”
“If it takes going in there
with an axe, we’ll tear them up
and let them sue the state,” he
said.
Mitcham said he was sur
prised by Sanders’ statement.
“You won’t catch me or my
men making a boner like that,”
he said. “We’ll have a search
warrant and a criminal warrant
when we go in.”

“Neither the governor nor
anyone else has asked me for
any help,” he said.
Sheriff Kyle D. Smith, of
Bryan County was not available
for comment.
GBI Maj. B. G. Ragsdale said

its efforts to eliminate coastal
clip joints by local indifferences.
He said last year In Long

against the place.
“We raided them, got boards,
dice, money and all,” Ragsdale

enough evidence to indict.

Weltner To Help
Blind Workers
By CHARLES S. TAYLOR Jr.
United Press International
ATLANTA (UPI) Rep
Charles Weltner, D - Ga., was
ready to act today on the fed
eral level to help seven blind
workers who claim their snack
bar jobs at the Atlanta Post
Office are threatened by auto
mation.
Postmaster George Camp and
Dr. Pope Jarrell, assistant state
superintendent of education in
charge of vocational rehabilita
tion, denied the claim Tuesday,
but Weltner said If the matter
is not straightened out he will
recommend that the Post Office
Department end Its contract
with a vending machine com
pany.
The blind workers said that
before vending machines were
put in last July some of them
earned as much as $7,500 an
nually. They said that because
of contract violations by the
vending firm their income has
dropped $1,000 In the past six
months.
They also expressed fear that
unless steps are taken their
