Atlanta To Test Bolton's Ruling ATLANTA (UPI) Atlanta will defy Atty. Gen. Arthur Bol ton’s ruling that all Georgia bars must close at midnight on Saturday. Aiderman Richard Freeman announced Wednesday the city will defy the ruling, despite Gov. Lester Maddox’s warning he will personally see to it all Sunday liquor sales end. Freeman, chairman of the al dermanic police committee told club and restaurant own ers, “We don’t intend to do any thing (about the ruling). We in tend to let you stay open ” Freeman contended Atlanta’s mixed drink ordinance is valid and said the city is not bound by the opinion of the attorney general. It permits sales until 2 a.m. Sunday. “We don’t intend to bother you until ordered to do so by the courts,” he said. Bolton ruled Wednesday that any city or county ordinances, such as Atlanta’s, which au thorize the sale of mixed drinks after midnight Saturday are in valid and a violation of the Georgia state law. State Revenue Commissioner Peyton Hawes asked for the rul ing to clarify the “misinterpre tations” that many cities had about the state’s alcoholic bev erage laws. City ordinances permitted bars in some cities to stay open until 2 a.m. Sunday to serve mixed drinks. Bolton said the city ordinances did not take precedence over the state’s liquor laws.

However, “the deadline is 12:01 this Sunday morning,” Maddox said. “I may go personally to check,” he added. Cities and counties will be given their “first and only chance” to see that private clubs and bars abide by the law this weekend, the governor said. The state will act after that according to Maddox. The new ruling affects only mixed drinks. The sales of beer, wine and package liquor al ready stops at midnight Satur day. There is no state ordinance to prevent bars from opening again Monday morning at 12:01 a.m. as some in Savannah Beach did last weekend, but a legal aid to the governor said some city ordinances would prevent it. ■ II rlaMdfr MsF <l# I Si i ß'WmWw M ' fl w i 111; wM MBMO' O :iS Wr IB </- > B: >■ Hm—et •JR ' Wnßr H HIBMhHMI IB' if If liF i II la /I - a i a i __j '• $ HW<_ lilt li J HHH jp,,s<ia*p» J* 11118 HIW a |gfc ■ | —■■ L : ■ • '•■ w t 1 : 'T' : ' ' «-«.'•••' ' :s’ | i _ '■ •#L ■ ' M' s Ipk9 IfSave $lO When You Buy A Pair c EE olgSfo. &| V V EA. 2 for SIOO Wl f. »« < | r-f Look!

Maddox Congratulates Lowndes ATLANTA (UPI) — The Lowndes County School Board received a congratulatory tele gram Wednesday from Gov. Lester Maddox for removing Negro teachers from white fa culties. “I commend you for your strong stand against federal en croachment of your local school system,” said Maddox in his communique to chairman George Moulton and other board members. Federal demands requiring in creased school integration are believed to have spurred the board toward the action. Less than a dozen Negro teachers were involved. County School Superintendent A. B. Martin said the Negro teachers were now in the pro cess of being reassigned to Negro schools. Martin said the county board has worked in good faith with the Department of Health Edu- Griffin Daily News cation and Welfare and offered to increase the rate of integra tion, “but HEW turned It down flatly.” While Lowndes County will have segregated faculties, the board will continue its freedom of choice pupil placement plan. Two-hundred and 17 Negroes have indicated they will attend integrated classes this fall. The Lowndes County Schools may now loose $360,000 in fed eral money in their HEW edu cational aid is cut off. HEW of ficials in Atlanta would not comment upon that possibility Wednesday. The Lowndes Coun ty schools open August 28. Superintendent Martin said a loss of federal funds would force curtailment of some planned programs and the can cellation of non-essential pro grams. He added that federal courts could still force faculty and stu dent integration by legal orders. 11 Thursday, August 3, 1967 Although no formal vote was taken on the issue, it was r& ported that board member L.M Tomlinson initiated the move to segregate the Negro teachers again. Valdosta schools will not be affected by the county’s action because they operate under a separate system. The city’s in tegration plan was approved by HEW. Gov. Lester Maddox has con demned federal intervention in Georgia’s educational system on many previous occasions. His telegram to the board called the federal government, “the greatest enemy to educa cation in the United States today.” “The action you have taken is the action that school boards throughout America should im mediately follow,” the governor declared. He concluded, “Keep up the good work.”
