Gov. Maddox To Seek
More Pay For Troopers
ATLANTA (UPI) — Gov.
Lester Maddox today said he
■would ask the 1969 General As
sembly to increase state troop
ers’ salaries as a step to better
law enforcement in Georgia.
“My request ■will be to have
the beginning pay for troopers
begin at $6,000 annually,” Mad
dox said in a speech prepared
for delivery at ceremonies grad
uating 33 students of the Geor
gia Police Academy.
“I feel that we can do no less
if we are to attract and keep
qualified and able men charged
with the responsibility of pre
serving the peace and protecting
the lives and properties of their
fellow citizens.
Maddox took a day off from
his 18-city tour to promote a
$211.5 million tax increase pro
posal by the research director
of the Governor’s Tax revision
Study Commission.
Maddox was greeted by 200
persons in tw'o cities — Augusta
and Madison —when he traveled
there Wednesday. He planned
visits Monday to Savannah and
Swainsboro to push the pro
gram.
Maddox said Thursday that
he planned to meet with top
legislative leaders soon to dis
cuss a tax bill for the 1969 ses
sion. Such talks were considered
the only chance for just a par
tial increase to get through the

Maddox, in his police academy
speech, decried loss of respect
for law enforcement officials
and panned the report on the
August riots in Chicago made
last week by Chicago attorney
Daniel Walker.
“I find it regrettable that in
other parts of the nation, law
enforcement has come to be re
garded with mistrust,” Maddox
cited the confrontation between
police and “gangs of hoodlums”

Florida Schools
May Lose Funds
ATLANTA (UPD — Health, i
Education and Welfare Depart- '
ment officials here were wind
ing up an administrative hear- i
ing which could mean the end
of $1.5 million in federal aid :
to Palm Beach, Fla., County ,
schools.
Meanwhile a federal appellate 1
court was considering an appeal
to declare illegal HEW’s prac- 1
tice of withholding funds from '
school systems it feels are pro
ceeding too slowly with racial
integration. i
The hearing to determine if '
the county should receive $213,-
000 for new projects was sched
| uled to end today. If the money
i is not granted, the $1.5 million
the schools receive annually
' could be discontinued.
HEW deferred the funds for ■
new projects, claiming the coun
; ty has been lax in accomplish-
I ing its desegregation.
A Thursday decision by the
; Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
continued the withholding of
funds, staying for a while the
injunction granted by U.S. Dis
trict Court Judge Emett Choate
in Miami Wednesday against
HEW from deferring the funds
| from the school system.
At least one appellate judge
■ indicated that a final decision
on the matter — which is ex
pected in the near future —
tion an example of police being
blamed for disorders.
“This is the communist tech
nique of the ‘big lie’ put to use
by either willing or unwilling
dupes,” he said.
“My personal judgment is that
the ‘Walker report’ indicates
nothing more or less than the
fact that they are disappointed
because at long last the police
finally won — rather than the
anarchist, the criminals and the
Communists,” Maddox said.
could be a blow to HEW, which
has deferred funds intended for
100 school systems because of
noncompliance to guidelines.
'“The only thing that bothers
me about HEW is they go into
a town and take over the man
agement of the schools and
draw lines all over the place”
to force integration, said Judge
Griffin B. Bell, who acquiesced
in the decision to continue the
HEW ban on funds.
He accused the federal agency
of sending a “roving agent out
of Washington” to tell an area
“ ‘to do like I say or you’re not
in compliance’ ” and federal
money can be withheld.
He said that he objected to
HEW’s dictatoral methods,
which he said could preclude a
county from reaching the proper
results by any other method
than HEW’s.
While Palm Beach County
school officials admit there are
still 17 of 91 schools that are
either all-White or all-Negro,
they contend that their volun
tary plan of freedom of choice
desegregation in the high
schools will gradually bring
about total desegregation.

Gordon Military College will join
Miss Anne Hill Drewry and Bill

Tlie first winner at Crompton-
Highland Mills was Miss Oriska
Ann Crawley, 211 West Vineyard
road, Griffin, who is pursuing her
studies at the University of Ge
orgia this year.
A native of Michigan, Rue
holds a B.A. from Michigan Sta
te, an M.A. from Eastern Michi
gan University, and is current
ly completing his doctorate in
higher education administra
tion at Michigan State. A Kellogg
fellowship holder in 1966-67, his
professional experience includes
service as a classroom teacher
and community school director,
as well as nearly six years as
director of community educa
tion and assistant to the presi
dent of Olivet College.
The new committeeman has
published numerous articles in
various professional journals and
is associated with various pro
fessional and civic organizations,
including the National Commu
nity School Education Associa
tion, of which he was a charter
member, and the Georgia Coun
cil of Private Colleges and Uni
versities, which he serves as Se
cretary.
A Rotarian and member of
Phi Delta Kappa, he has served
on the Advisory Screening Com
mittee for Military Academy Ap
pointments, as an officer of the
Greater Michigan Foundation’s
Council on Youth Programs, and
as vice chairman and treasurer
of the Michigan Committee for
the Arts, Professions and Scien

Callaway Not
Named Secretary
Os The Army
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Rep.
Melvin Laird, R-Wis., Richard
Nixon’s defense secretary, has
not selected Howard (Bo) Cal
laway, or anyone else, as sec
retary of the Army for the new
administration, a top man in the*
Nixon camp said.
Herbert G. Klein, who will
serve as Nixon’s director of
communications, did not rule
out the possibility that Nixon’s
southern campaign manager
might end up in the post.
“I can’t say that it’s not pos
sible he might be considered the
most qualified for it,” Klein
said Thursday, responding to a
report by an Atlanta radio sta
tion that Callaway would be
named Army secretary.
Callaway, heir to the Callaway
Mills empire, is a graduate of
West Point and served in the
Army briefly.
Klein indicated that for the
most part department heads
would name their own deputies
and Nixon, after being consult
ed, would nominate them to
Congress. He said Laird had
told him he had not chosen any
of the service secretaries.
