Maddox Fights
Revamp Order
L» SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. (UPD
— Gov. Lester Maddox attacked
| “government by guideline”
Monday night and said he
would work for a constitutional
t amendment to permit seats in
one branch of state legislatures
I to be apportioned by some
' t standard other than population.
f Maddox, in an address to the
Sandy Springs Kiwanis Club,
keyed his speech to the Consti
tution and “how it is being
• 4 weakened, abused and violated
today by the federal govern
ment."
Maddox said he intended to
• work with other states to over
turn the U. S. Supreme Court’s
reapportionment order requiring
state senates to be elected from
• equally populated districts.
“No one perhaps more than I
can speak from experience on
how (the Constitution) is being
weakened, abused and violated
• I today by the federal govern-
ment,” said Maddox. “It seems
we have reached the point
where we no longer have gov
i« ernment by and for the people.
Rather, we are coming nearer
and neared the point of govern
ment by guideline.”
He said the federal govern
ment forced him to close his
Atlanta restaurant and “denied
me the right to a trial by jury
a in the federal courts.”

dox declared.
In attempts to enforce the
Civil Rights Act, said the gov
ernor, the federal government
“is forcing school teachers to
teach against their will and
making businessmen serve cus

Maddox sprinkled his speech
liberally with quotes from then

Johnson, who said, “If the law
can compel me to employ a Ne

to work for me.”

A. D. Allen
Surrenders To
DeKalb Officers
DECATUR, Ga. (UPI) — A.
D. Allen, convicted auto thief,
was back in Stone Mountain
Prison today after a short spurt
of freedom granted and hastily
recalled in court.
His voluntary surrender to
DeKalb County Sheriff’s officers
Monday night put an end to a
five-day search for the prisoner,
who had won freedom by
mistake in the court of DeKalb
Superior Judge Frank Guess
last week.
Allen said he had been in
Florida but would not elab
orate.
Suspected onetime head of a
wide • spread car theft ring,
Allen, of Commerce, petitioned
for his release on grounds a
former Fulton County official
had promised to cut two years
off his seven-year sentence for
pleading guilty to the 26 theft
charges.
He had served three years
when Guess set him free last
Monday on SI,OOO bond and then
decided he had erred in the
ruling and signed a warrant for
Allen.
“We’re always glad to get
these cases settled,” said a
sheriff’s officer. The depart
ment had been assured Allen
would return voluntarily, and it
was reported but not confirmed
that he had taken his son to
Florida for a brief respite.

Young Inmate Recently
Freed Back In Custody
ATLANTA (UPI) — The ar
rest of one of the 153 young in
mates released from Alto Insti
tute under Gov. Lester Mad
dox’s “pilot project” probably
won’t stop any future plans for
such reprieves, says an official
of the Pardon and Parole
Board.
John F. Gibson, 17, was
bound over to Superior Court
Monday on a burglary charge.
He was one of the Alto inmates
given early releases from the
prison by Maddox after a cere
mony at the state Capitol Sept.
8.
“I would have been surprised
if something like this hadn’t
happened,” said the parole
board spokesman. “I think we
will be doing well if less than
5 percent go back.”
Gibson was found Thursday

Local Control
Os Education,
Wallace’s Aim
SEA ISLAND, Ga. (UPI) —
The question in the 1968 presi
dential sweepstakes “is not seg
regation, but control of the
schools,” as far as former Ala
bama Gov. George Wallace is
concerned.
Wallace said Monday he
would give up the possibility of
running for p r e sld e nt on a
third-party ticket if either the
national Democrats or Republi
cans come up with a candidate
supporting local control of edu
cation.
But he said he would be a
candidate if both parties nomi
nate "me-too” men who favor
federal control.
“No matter what they are
told by some newspaper editors,
from some pulpits and by cer
tain college professors,” the
public understands the focus of
his stand, Wallace declared to
a gathering of southern farm
equipment manufacturers.

Gibson had been convicted of
auto larceny in 1967 and sen
tenced to serve three years at
Alto. Like the other released
youths, he had a good conduct
record at Alto and had signed
a pledge to obey the law, after
the parole.
Gibson must now return to
Alto to serve the remaining two
years of his original sentence,
plus any new time he might re
ceive if convicted of burglary.
The Alto inmates had their
sentences indefinitely suspended
rather than placed on proba
tionary status, under the “pilot
project.”

THE DOCTOR SAYS
Diagnosis Os
Pains In Chest
By Wayne G Brandstadt, M.D.
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Q — I am 75. Sometimes
when I take a deep breath
or when I go out of the house
I get severe chest pains. What
sort of tests would I have to
take to find the cause of this?
A— The chief causes of pain
in the chest are pleurisy, tuber
culosis, heart disease and arth
ritic Involvement of the ribs.
Diagnostic procedures would in
clude a careful history ana phy
sical examination, chest X ray,
electrocardiogram and tests for
pulmonary function.
Q — My husband has Intersti
tial pulmonary fibrosis. What
is it and what can be done
for it?
A— When an excess of tough
fibrous tissue forms in the lungs
it is known as interstitial pul
monary fibrosis. Since this de
creases the elasticity of the lung
tissues it makes breathing dif
ficult. It may be due to a variety
of causes and the cause should
be determined, if possible. In
many victims relief has been
obtained With hydrocortisone.
Q — My grandson has a
fungus infection in his lungs.
Is It serious? What Is the cause
and what is he treatment?
A— There are several fungus
diseases that may affect the
lungs — cryptococcosis, histo
plasmosis, coccidioidosis and
candidasis, to name a few. The
severity of these diseases is
variable. Amphotericin B and
other antibiotics are used in
their treatment.
Q — Does a fungus infection
in the lungs mean cancer? Are
calcium deposits in the lungs
an indication of beginning, can
cer? What is the treatment for
lung cancer?
A— There is no connection
between fungus diseases and
cancer in any part of the body.
Opaque areas in an X - ray
film of the lungs may be caused
by tuberculosis, fungus infec-
tions or cancer. Other tests,
such as microscopic examina
tion of the sputum, must be
done to confirm the diagnosis.
In the early stages of lung can
cer surgical removal of the dis
eased portion Is the best treat
ment. Mechlorethamine (a de
rivative of nitrogran mustard)
and colloidal gold have benefited
some victims of this disease.
Deep X- ray treatment is also
used.
Q — Does lupus erythe
matosus affect the joints or the
kidneys? What is the cause of
death in persons with this di
sease?
A— L. E. is a systemic
disease that may affect any
part of the body. It may cause
death when irreversible dam
age to any of the vital organs
(lungs, kidneys, brain or heart)
occurs.

Rep. Bond Says
Stokely’s Trip
Proves Alignment
ATLANTA (UPD—State Rep.
Julian Bond, a former officer of
the Student Nonviolent Coordi
nating Committee, has admitted
black power militant Stokely
Carmichael’s recent trip to red
capitals bears out “or even
proves” charges Carmichael is
aligned with Communists.
Bond, the 26-year-old Negro
representative twice tossed out
of the General Assembly for
supporting SNCC antiwar and
antidraft statements, said Mon
day night the trips to Cuba and
Hanoi may have mitigated Car
michael’s claim to be a Negro
spokesman.
He added, however, that Car
michael and his successor as
SNCC chairman, H. Rap Brown,
cannot be dismissed as "loud
mouths.”
“Both speak for a sizeable
number of Negroes, even
though they tell them in large
part what they want to hear,”
Bond told an Atlanta civie
group.
