took Pentagon permission to get
a military helicopter to airlift
the bodies of Frank Strickland,
36, of Valdosta and his mother
in - law, Mrs. Fredanel Mixon
Miller, 64, of Columbia, S.C.,
from the wreckage of their pri
vate plane in a swamp near the
municipal airport.
Wet weather prevented rescu
ers from Moody Air Force Base
and local officers from retriev
ing the bodies from the Cessna
210 on foot after it crashed
Tuesday night.
The helicopter went into ac
tion Wednesday with the Penta
gon’s okay.
Strickland’s plane went down
about half a mile from the end
of an airport runway. It appar
ently clipped the tops of trees
when he tried to land.
Lowndes County Sheriff
Jewel Futch said the plane
crashed in bad weather while
on a flight from Columbia, S.C.,
to Valdosta via Jacksonville,
Fla.
Close Prison
CANTON, Ga. (UPI)-Chero
kee County officials have an
nounced plans to close the doors
of their county work camp to
all state prisoners.
CherokeeCountyCommission
er Trammell Carmichael said
Wednesday he decided to shut
down rather than meet quality
and safety standards outlined by
the State Board of Correctons.
However, just hours later, cor
rection Director Bob Carter said
he had ordered all state prison
ers out of the camp by 8 p. m.
Wednesday.
Not Enough Room
FT. BENNING, Ga. (UPI) -
Sixty - five news organizations
have already requested creden
tials for the use of more than
80 seats in the courtroom in
which the court martial of Lt.
William L. Calley is to be held,
an Army spokesman says, but
there will be room for only 25.
Carpenters are in the process
of adding seats that will in
crease the room’s spectator ca
pacity from 38 to 50, half of
which are to be kept open for
the general public, the spokes
man said.
State Could Buy
ATLANTA (UPI )-Under pro
posals adopted by the legisla
ture’s Coastal Islands Study
Committee, state authorities
could buy any of Georgia’s
“Golden Isle” properties that
might come up for sale without
having to wait for legislative ap
proval.
At a meeting Wednesday that
followed two days of public
hearings in which conservation
ists and landowners urged that
coastal Cumberland Island be
set aside as a national seashore,
the committee also voted 8-5 in
favor of a proposal to draft a
bill to create a state commis
sion to oversee development of
the state’s coastal islands.
National Policy
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
federal government should es
tablish a national policy of as
suring American farmers a
rightful share of the increasing
world market, Georgia Farm
Bureau Federation President
William L. Lanier said.
. “This would assure American
agriculture progress more than
any farm program that could
be developed domestically, and
it would move American agri
culture into the mainstream of
American prosperity,” Lanier,
here for the 50th annual Farm
Bureau Federation national con
vention, told a group of Ver
mont Farm Bureau members
Wednesday.
Jackson Sworn
ATLANTA (UPI)-Saying his
new appointee is as qualified
“as anybody in the United
States,” Gov. Lester Maddox
Wednesday swore in Negro mu
sician Graham Jackson as a
member of the State Board of
Corrections.
Jackson, 67, of Atlanta, be
came the first member of his
race to serve on a major state
board in modern Georgia and
the highest placed Negro in the
executive agencies of state gov
ernment.
Maddox, who appointed Jack
son Monday to serve on the five
man board, which directs the
state penal system, described
him as “an honorable gentle
man who likes to be with peo
ple and who understands the
problems of people.”
Maddox said those traits qual
ified Jackson to serve on the
board and predicted he would
do a good job.
“Anyone supervising the pris
on system should have a deep
understanding of people,” the
governor added.

HOLLYWOOD - Mrs. Jeanne
Beigger Martin, the wife of

to end their 20-year marriage
because her husband has fallen

Jeanne Files For
Divorce From
Dean Martin
HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - The
wife of Dean Martin, former
model Jeanne Biegger Martin,
has announced she will divorce
him because he has fallen in
love with another woman.
“It is painfully difficult for
me to announce the apparent
end of our marriage. My
husband informed me several
weeks ago that he had met and
fallen in love with someone and
he asked me for a divorce,”
Mrs. Martin said Wednesday in
a statement released by her
attorney.
The couple was married Sept.
1, 1949 following a storybook
romance. Martin, then a
member of the Lewis and
Martin comedy team, was in
the Orange Bowl parade in
Miami. Mrs. Martin was the
queen of the bowl and they met
on her float.
Martin has seven children,
four by his former marriage to
Elizabeth Anne Martin, who
divocrced him in August, 1949.
Mrs. Martin’s statement said
in part:
“My deepest concern at the
present is for our children. It is
my hope that all concerned will
make every effort to see that
their lives are kept within as
normal a pattern as the
situation will permit. The
children have always felt great
love and respect for their
father and I fully intend that it
remain so.”
