Despite persistent reports of
clipping and speed traps, Bur
son said no complaints were
substantiated in either Long or
McIntosh Counties.
Burson announced results ot
the investigation at a Capitol
news conference attended by
Gov. Lester Maddox.
“We are happy to see sher
iffs calling on state authori
ties,” Maddox said.
But he noted the executive
order under which the state
moved into local areas without
being asked by local authori
ties was still in effect and
would be used it the establish

Anti - Gambling
Move Up To
Local Citizens
ATLANTA (UPI) Public
Safety Director R. H. Burson
said Monday the state does not
have the prerogative to raid
gambling operations unless lo
cal citizens request It
Unless someone at the local
level wants them stopped, Bur
son said, the purchasers of 300
federal gambling stamps would
thus be free to operate.
"The governor has indicated
strongly he will not tolerate
any illegal or illicit action that
the citizens say they don’t
want,” Burson added.
Maddox began a drive
against gambling last week, hut
said his activity was confined
to providing names of gambling
stamp purchasers to local of
ficers,
“X think most of the stamps
are in private clubs,” Burson
said. “It depends on the local
citizens.”

political An important Romney-Nixon tug-of-war is on for the valued
GOP chairman services of of California. Dr. Gaylord Parkinson, retiring state
At least two sources quietly passed the word at the two-day
Republican terested National Committee presidential meeting here that people in
in the 1968 candidacy of Richard M.
Nixon have made a rich offer to Parkinson to become head of
a national Nixon organization.
At the same time, this reporter has had firm indications
from other political figures that Parkinson himself is express
ing Michigan’s keen desire to link up with the 1968 campaign forces of
Gov. George Romney—either in some key national
role or as head of a well-mounted western operation.
The money involved has to be considerable, since Parkin

not likely abandon it for peanuts.
doctor Though not widely known to the general public, the affable
has made substantial political headway in his years as
California chairman. Recently he has been serving as head
of the party’s organization of all state chairmen. He gained
fame as a “unity man’* last year by decreeing “Parkinson’s
law”—that Republicans battling each other in California’s pri
maries should not speak ill of each other.
The significance of the Nixon forces’ bid for his services
can by hardly be overplayed. It is clearly part of a major crank
up his supporters, who include Texas GOP chairman Peter
O’Donnell.
At conclusion of the national committee meeting here,
O’Donnell and Fred LaRue, Mississippi’s national committee
man, went directly to New York. It is being presumed they
did not go to Nixon’s home town to see a hockey game.
The full scope of the early crankup for Nixon cannot easily
be measured, but one seasoned party figure insists that
“plenty The of money is involved.”
most interesting aspect of the whole endeavor is that
it is being carried on behind a “favorite son” facade newly
erected by southern Republican leaders who until a few
months ago were openly and loudly espousing Nixon.
The argument is that the GOP in the South was too rlgidlv
and tod quickly committed to Barry Goldwater last time, and
that now—as has been widely reported—these people want to
hang dates, loose, and perhaps stay flexible, enjoy being courted by many candi

Living is easier with natural gas A successful innkeeper like Jim Shugart has to
be a good host and a good businessman.
He must provide comforts and conveniences *
that bring guests back. Yet he also must
consider operating costs, maintenance needs

chose year-round gas air conditioning for his
Mark Inn Motels. Tests of different
fuels convinced him that natural gas offers a

Astronauts Lived
For 12 Seconds,
By AL ROSSITER JR.
United Press International
CAPE KENNEDY (UPI)—
The New York Times reported
today the Apollo astronauts
lived for 12 seconds after
discovering fire In their capsule
tried desperately to escape, and
left a tape-recorded legacy that
ended: “We’re on fire...get us
out of herel”
The paper said Virgil 1.
Grissom, Roger B. Chaffee and
Edward H. White II, were
clawing at the sealed hatch to
escape the flame-filled capsule
where death came. There is no
automatic release button and
the astronauts did not have
time to use the ratchet that
opens the hatch of the craft in
which they were to ride in
America’s first step toward a
moon landing.
Officials of the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration (NASA) refused to
comment on the Times’ report.
Jack King, NASA information
officer who is serving as the
public information officer for
the blueribbon board of inquiry
investigating the Friday trage
dy, said that at the outset the
board had warned it would
neither confirm or deny such
reports.

others who were on the launch

pad, said he understood the first
words were: “Fire ... I smell
fire,” but did not know which
astronaut spoke. Two seconds
later, the report said, White
yelled: “Fire in the cockpit!”
Three seconds later: "There’s a
bad fire in the spacecraft!”
From an unknown. And seven
seconds later: “We’re on fire . .

Chaffee.
The Times said the voice
identifications were made by
Donald (Deke) Slayton, astro
naut chief.
The newspaper report differed
from official NASA statements.
The space agency had said that
only the words “fire in
spacecraft” were uttered during
the tragedy. NASA also said the
bodies of the three astronauts
were found strapped in their
couches.
