State Officials
Optimistic On
Alto Project
ATLANTA (UPD—State offi
cials remain optimistic about a
pilot prison reform project in
which Gov. Lester Maddox re
prieved 153 youths at Alton pri
son although the number of ex
inmates in trouble has tfsen to
six.
"If just one got his life
changed to the good by this pro
ject, you could say it was
worthwhile,” Pardon and Parole
Board member J.O. Partain
said.
Partain reported Friday that
Leroy Walker, 17, of Atlanta
was in a Fulton County jail
charged with a Gwinnett Coun
ty robbery and a 110-mile-per
hour chase with police down In
terstate 85.
He is the sixth youth in the
group reprieved nearly a month
ago to run into trouble with the
law. Each inmate had a rec
ord of good behavior and less
than six months left to serve
"We’re getting them back one
every few days now,” Partain
said. “But I don’t think the
project’s in any danger now.”
"In some cases they Just
can’t be reached,” he said. "It
would just have postponed the
trouble to leave some of them
in prison a few months more.”
He said the Corrections De
partment does not have the fa
cilities to "correct” prisoners.
Partain said he was going to
propose that letters telling how
the six had violated the trust
put in them by the state be
placed in the Pardon and Pa
role Board’s files for considera
tion should any of the youths
come up for parole or pardon

The ties that bind a young Am
erican to his family, church,
friends, home town and coun
try are the very essence of the
USO ideal, the very' purpose of
its being.
Ten months before Pearl Har
bor, when the clouds of war were
gathering over America, lead
ers of the national agencies who
had served our men during
World War I, came together to
share their experiences and to
make plans to meet another war
emergency, which seemed im
minent. The rest is history. On
Feb. 4, 1941, this uniquely Am
erican institution — representa
tive of the three great faiths of
our nation was founded.
More than 22,000,000 Ameri
cans who have worn the uniform
in World War II — in the Kor
ean conflict — in the subsequent
“cold war” years — the Bernil
crisis — the Cuban confronta
tion — down to the present mo
ment in Viet Nam — have been
welcomed by USO at a club In a
strange city or at a USO show
in a foreign land.
USO is people. It is 80,000 vol
unteers, senior and junior —
those who serve on the USO Bo
ard of Governors, its various
committees contributing their
time and talent to translate the
USO ideal into a living, practi
cal reality — it is you, and mil
lions like you who contribute to
the financial support of USO
through United Fund Campaigns
all over the country.
USO is expanding its services
in South Vietnam and will soon
have 12 clubs in operation. Last
year, 1,200 entertainers pre
sented 4,000 performances that
were enjoyed by 1 million Amer
ican servicemen from the Arc
tic to the rice paddies in Viet
nam. USO is there only if you
care.

Charge Blamed On
Misunderstanding
ATLANTA (UPl)—The direc
tor of Economic Oportunity
Atlanta says a “misunderstand
ing” brought charges of parti
san politics against his agency
from Rep. Fletcher Thompson,
R-Ga.
T.M. Parham denied a charge
from Thompson that the pover
ty organization was trying to
recruit voters it could control
and that he was threatened with
political reprisals for not sup
porting the Atlanta poverty pro
gram.
Parham said area councils
used by his agency to register
voters were “simply away of
breaking down our target neigh
borhoods for the development
of citizen participation.”
“This organizational structure
is only away of finding leaders
to help guide program planning
—and nothing more,” he said.
“It is required by law.”
Man Wanted In
Atlanta Rape
ATLANTA (UPI) — Police
were looking for a Negro who
raped a girl Friday and then
walked her to a drive-in rest
aurant where he had told the
girl’s date to wait for them.
The Negro abducted the cou
ple at gunpoint in Washington
Park and ordered her compan
ion to drive them to a location
near Maddox Park and then to
go to the drive-in to wait for
him to return the girl, police
reported.
The Negro had threatened to
kill the girl if he saw any police
cars around the drive-in, offi
ce’s said.
Station Will
Check Pollution
PINE MOUNTAIN, Ga. (UPI)
— A plan to launch a program
of pollution monitoring stations
on the state’s major rivers and
along the coastal waterways
was announced Friday by the
Georgia Water Quality Control
Board.
The stations would be located
near Lake Lanier, on sections :
of the Chattahoochee River and
the Tennessee River basin in
north Georgia and along Geor
gia’s coast.
R. S. Howard, board execu
tive secretary, said the stations,
which will begin operations
“probably by next year,” would
check pollution factors such as 1
temperature, acidity, turbidity, 1
radioactivity and the amount of 1
oxygen dissolved in the water. 1
Howard said Georgia’s first
statewide pollution checking '
system would be particularly ■
advantageous to industries con- i
sidering locating in Georgia.

‘Name-Calling’
KKJWVK (UPD—The chair

does not want his committee
turned into a battleground for
public officials on opposite sides
of an issue.
Sen. Roscoe Dean of Jesup
said Friday he was referring to
a “name - calling, publicity
seeking” attempt by Sen. Bob
by Rowan of Enigma, a com
mittee member, to accuse U.S.
Sen. Herman Talmadge, D-Ga.,
of abandoning Georgia’s tobac
co farmers.
A resolution authored by Row
an calling on Georgia members
of congressional agriculture
committees to pay more atten

mittee’s approval Thursday.
Twice Dean cast the deciding
vote against It
Although Talmadge was not
named in the resolution, he is
the only Georgia senator on an
agriculture committee.
•‘What upset me most is that
this little battle may have ov
ershadowed what most of us
were trying to do,” Dean said.
“If one senator wishes to get
involved in a name - calling
battle with another official, then
let hi. do it elsewhere,” he
said. “We need unity, under

acted into law closing hours for
bars.
The council voted unanimous
ly Friday to prohibit the sale
of liquor at any time on Sun
day and before 7 a.m. and af
ter 2 a.m. on weekdays.
Savannah bars have tradition
ally stayed open until 2 a.m.
every morning of the week, in
cluding Sundays, but Gov. Les
ter Maddox several months ago
launched a crackdown on liq
uor sales after midnight Satur
day.
Maddox ordered officers to
enforce a state law forbiding
the sale of liquor after midnight
Saturday, although some muni
cipalities had local ordinances
permitting bars to stay open
until 2 a.m. Sunday.
The Savannah City Council
had considered allowing bars to
remain open until 4 a.m. on
weekdays but decided against it
after Police Chief Leo Ryan
said the later closing time
would create a manpower prob

Harley D. Kysor and Associ

“It gets larger every time we

“The pool concept makes a
great deal of sense to me,”
said Sen. Al Holloway of Al
bany.
A new transportation unit
where the use of aircraft would
be controlled by a single de

money and increase safety stan

Conway of DeKalb.
The committee said the firm
would report its findings before
the 1968 legislative session be

not cost more than $5,000.
