Prison Pool
Kept Secret
By DON PHILLIPS
ATLANTA (UPl)—lnmates of
a south Georgia state prison
branch have built themselves a
swimming pool with the state’s
blessing, but the state's not
saying exactly where it is.
State Corrections Director
Asa Kelley confirmed Tuesday
that the pool had been finished
in early September, but said
the site of the camp will re
man a secret until officials
learn if the “pilot project” was
a success.
Kelley said the pool was built
by prisoners using state-owned
surplus material. He said It
would cost the taxpayers noth
ing since the material probably
would have been used for noth
ing else.
“It’s a tremendous morale

portant thing is to let them see
the end results of their own
labor.”
Kelley said the 20-by-40-foot
pool was built at a camp hous
ing younger inmates, most of
them 17 to 21 years old.
“The idea is that we have a
lot of these young bucks who
do not know how to swim and
they need to know,” said Kelley.
“We already have expert swim
mers in the system who can
teach them.”
Kelley called the pool “part
of our overall recreational sys
tem. It will let these boys get off
a lot of steam.”
Kelley said he would divulge
the location of the pool after he
compiles statistics on how suc
cessful the project is.

in the Nov. 29 special election
to fill the unexpired year left
in Perry’s term.
Davis, a state parole officer,
got 2,032 votes Nov. 29 while
Spence, a revenue agent, polled
1,912.
Running third was former
Pendergrass Mayor Smith
Bridges, who lost a bid for a
10th term as mayor several
days after the sheriff’s election.
Perry was linked by a grand
jury to A. C. (Cliff) Parks, a
76-year-old convicted bootlegger
recently indicted with four other
men in the August slaying of
Piedmont Sol. Floyd Hoard.
Perry defeated both Davis
and Spence in the 1964 election.
The charges of failing to en
force liquor laws properly never
were acted upon because Perry
resigned shortly before a sched

Pickett Says
Callaway Asked
Him To Resign
WAYNESBORO, Ga. (UPI) —
Georgia’s National Republican
Committeeman, Roscoe Pickett,
says Howard (Bo) Callaway
asked him to resign last year
during the governor’s campaign.
“Mr. Callaway asked me to
resign because of my ‘bad im
age’ within the party during the
campaign,” said Pickett. He
said he did not mention it last
year for fear or hurting Calla
way’s chances in the governor’s
race.
Callaway declined comment
except to say “I don’t think it’s
in the best interest of the party
for Roscoe and me to be doing
a lot of talking against one
another.”
Callaway, the former Con
gressman from Pine Mountain
who lost to Lester Maddox in the
governor’s race and now is
seeking Pickett’s post, refused
to confirm or deny Pickett's
claim.
Pickett said he hopes his dis
pute with Callaway can be dis
solved without disrupting the
party but added “I will not run
from Mr. Callaway."
Pickett said he probably will
see reelection as national com
mitteeman, and said Callaway's
announcement for the post “was
another mistake” on the part
of the textile millionaire.
“No matter who is elected by
the delegates as national com
mitteeman, I am the national
committeeman for this next con
vention,” Pickett said.
Billy Graham
Cancels Work
Until Mid-April
ATLANTA (UPD—A spokes
man for Billy Graham said
Tuesday ill health has forced
the evangelist to cancel virtual
ly all engagements until about
mid-April next year.
Graham currently is under
treatment in Jamaica. He was
put to bed with pneumonia on
Nov. 26 and doctors said his re
covery has been slow because
of lowered resistance as the re
sult of a long history of resplra
tory illness.
Dr. Walter M. Smyth, direc
tor of the Graham crusades,
said the cancellation decision
affects many individual speak
ing engagements as well as
four major evangelistic efforts
in New Zealand and Australia.
Smyth said the decision to
clear the schedule for the next
four months came after long
consultation with Graham’s
physician.
Left on the schedule was a
broadcast appearance in Atlan
ta Dec. 29 for the second an
nual Great American Award
presented by WSB radio.
Smyth expressed optimism
that Graham would be able to
hold his crusade at Sydney,
Australia April 20-28 and later
crusades in Portland, Ore , San
Antonio, Tex., and Pittsburgh.

rested in Albany several hours

Farm Bureau
Warns About
Cotton Loss
CHICAGO (UPI) — Vital
Southern crops are being jeop
ardized by the federal govern
ment’s cotton surplus reduction
program, the president of the
Georgia Farm Bureau warned
Tuesday.
William L. Lanier told the
49th annual convention of the
American Farm Bureau Feder
ation that the government's de
cision two years ago to reduce
cotton acreage forced Southern
farmers to divert 17 million
acres to other uses.
