Ward Named
To Prison
Study Group
ATLANTA lUPI) —Lt. Gov.
George T. Smith Thursday ap
pointed a Negro senator to Gov.
Lester Maddox’s prison study
committee.
Smith said he named Sen.
Horace T. Ward of Fulton
County to serve on the commit
tee because it was “only fair”
to form a representative com
mittee since Negroes had ex
pressed concern over conditions
in state prisons.
Smith said Ward, a member
of the Penal and Correctional
Affairs Committee, was “well
versed” on problems found in
Georgia prisons.
Maddox called for a joint
study committee after four Ne
gro fugitives from the Wilkin
son County work camp surren
dered at the governor’s man
sion to complain about prison
conditions.
Smith said since the four
were Negroes he felt it appro
priate a Negro senator should
be appointed to the committee.
Other members of the study
committee are Sen. Hugh Gillis
of Soperton, Rep Jake Dailey
of Cuthbert and Corrections De
partment Asst. Director Lowell
Connor.
