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.” • “The right to a trial by jury This Is not an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities.

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.

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.
