Police Go On
12-Hour Shifts
Police Chief Leo Blackwell
said the Griffin Police Depart
ment has changed to 12-hour
shifts instead of the regular
eight-hour shifts.
The change was made after
several Griffin businesses had
fire damage Thursday and Fri

Chief Blackwell said he also
had cancelled all days off for
members of the department.
He said some of the men had
been working as much as 15 and
20 hours per day since the shift
change.
The shift change will give each
of the two shifts more men on
duty at all times.
Chief Blackwell praised his
men, the Georgia Bureau of In
vestigation and the Spalding
County Sheriff’s Department for
work leading to the arrests of
14 men on arson charges in

Violence
Continued from page one
a recreation period.
In the melee, three prisoners
and four guards were injured,
one of the guards critically.
Officials said the outburst
apparently resulted from Negro
anger over King’s death and the
rioting in other parts of the
nation.
Burn Campus Building
In Nashville, where 2,800
Tennessee National Guardsmen
have had their hands full with
rioters, vandals and looters
since King was assassinated,
the ROTC building on the
Tennessee A and I campus was
razed by fire early today.
Officials said students touched
off the blaze.
Other cities reporting serious
violence since the assassination
included Gainesville and Talla
hassee, Fla.; Pine Bluff, Ark.;
Des Moines, Iowa; Detroit;
New York City; Tuskeegee,
Ala.; Memphis; Raleigh, Dur
ham and Charlotte, N.C.;
Hartford, Conn.; Boston and
Oakland.
Despite the unprecedented
number of disorders and the
magnitude of the destruction,
restrained riot control tactics
employed by police and soldiers
appeared to keep the intensity
of the violence below that of
last year’s most disastrous riots
—those in Newark and Detroit.
Restraint in the use of
firearms was the key factor,
although better training, ad
vance planning and communica
tions also helped contain the
disorder, a United Press Inter
national survey of affected
cities indicated.

Overturns
MACON, Ga. (UPI)—A gaso
line transport truck overturned
on U. S. 80 about 10 miles west

fires. They negotiated with a
farmer to pump water from a
small lake to wash the gasoline
on through the conduits.
No. one was hurt in the acci
dent. Officers said the tractor

sen from the dead: “Their
words seemed to them as idle
tales, and they believed them .
not.”
Hear also what the apostle
Thomas says, when told by his
fellow disciples, that the “Lord
is risen indeed,” and that they *
had seen him: “He said unto
them. Except I shall see in His
hands the print of the nails, and
put my finger into the print of
the nails, and thrust my hand
into His side, I will not believe.”
See too, how much unbelief
the two disciples express on •
their way to Emmaus. “But we
trusted that it had been He whi
ch should have redeemed Is
rael.” In these words we see „
their disappointment. They are
the words of unbelief. Hence Je
sus upbraids them with their
want of faith. “Then said He un
to them, O fools and slow of he- ‘

ets have spoken.” We must there
fore conclude that there is no
truth in the assertion made by *
the soldiers that the disciples
came by night and stole Him
