Disappointed
On Holiday
ATLANTA (UPI) — Gov.
Lester Maddox said Friday it
was “especially disappointing”
that more businesses and gov
their doors to honor some who
ing President Nixon’s plea that
they close down for Monday’s
historic moon landing.
The governor has ordered all
state offices closed so that em
ployes can stay up late Sunday
night when American moon
astronauts are scheduled to take
the first televised steps on the
lunar surface.
“Those who are refusing to
properly recognize this great
occasion and pay tribute to
‘ these brave men who have
brought such honor to our na
tion do not hesitate to close
their doors to honr some who
have worked to destroy, wreck
and tear down our country,”
