He’s Whipping Boy
By DON PHILLIPS
United Press International
ATLANTA (UPI) Long
County Sheriff Leslie G. Mitch
am has charged that Public
Safety Director Lowell Conner
is using him as a “whipping
boy" in the investigation of al
leged speed traps and clip
joints in the county.
Conner revealed Wednesday
that his department is investi
gating the alleged speed traps
in Long County and may re
quest state action. He said his
department received more com
plaints in one year from Long
County than from all the other
counties combined In the last
seven years and that his Inves
tigation should be completed
within a week.
Mitcham reacted strongly to
the announcement.
“He’s got It in for some of
us who fought hell out of his
police power bill,” Mitcham
fired back. “He’s using us as
a whipping boy. It doesn’t wor
ry me. The people of Long

down if local officials either
cannot or will not tal.j action.

Department of Public Safety
said that at least five roadside
stands which line tourists into
crooked games o* chance were
being watched in Long, McIn
tosh and Bryan counties.

Savannah office of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation was
looking into the clip joint op
erations.
James T. Neagle, agent In
charge of the Savannah office,
said if any money orders or
checks on out of state banks
are involved, the tourist traps
come under federal jurisdiction.
