Maddox Predicts
Rusk Controversy
ATLANTA (UPI)-The pro
posed appointment of former
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
to the faculty of the University
of Georgia Law School would
“create quite a controversy,”
predicts Gov. Lester Maddox.
“Things have been going real
good (at the university) and I
hope nothing happens to upset
the applecart,” Maddox said
Sunday. ‘‘But I do see how the

would create quite a controver
sy.” He refused to elaborate.
University President Fred C.
Davison, in Athens, said Satur
day he has recommended the
appointment of Rusk to the fac
ulty as professor of internation
al law.
Davison disclosed his recom
mendation of Rusk to the Board
of Regents Saturday night,
clearing up some of the confu
sion created by early reports of
the appointment.
One of the regents had said
Rusk’s appointment was never
discussed, formally or other
wise, and added, “I don’t know
whether it will come up.”
Regent Roy Harris of Augusta
said the Rusk matter has not
been brought up before the
board, to his knowledge, and he
did not think the regents were
aware the former secretary of
state was being considered until
the publication of recent news
reports.
“If he’s been appointed, then
someone’s acted without author
ity,” Harris said.
Unless a special meeting is
called, he said, no action can
be taken until the regents’ next
meeting in mid-January.
Regents Chairman H. G. Pa
tillo, however, said the board
was aware of a move to name
Rusk to the faculty but declined
further comment.
Most other board members
were reluctant to comment on
the matter.
Davison said he had asked the
regents to name Rusk to the
Samuel H. Sibley, professorship.
The appointment would become
effective Sept. 1, 1970.
School Dean Lindsey
Cowen said Rusk, if he took the
post, would mainly be teaching
graduate students in law and
political science.
Rusk, a native of Georgia, has
previously encountered opposi
tion from state political leaders
for his liberal policies as sec
retary of state to the late Presi
dent John Kennedy and former
President Lyndon Johnson, as
well as in reaction to his daugh
ter’s marriage to a Negro.
However, one top state lead
er, who asked not to be identi
fied, said rejection of Rusk for
such reasons would be a mis
take. He said Georgia would be
fortunate to get someone of
Rusk’s caliber for the law school
and, “if the regents run him
down, they’re not only unjustly
punishing him—they’re punish
ing the state of Georgia.”

Howser Admits
Adultry At Trial
BRUNSWICK, Ga. (UPI) -
The murder trial of Charlotte,
N. C., baseball executive Char
les Howser went into its second
week today, with testimony ex
pected from an Atlanta physi
cian without whom Dist. Atty.
Glenn Thomas said he could not
proceed.
Howser, general manager of
the Charlotte Hornets, is
charged with the slaying of
Mrs. Carolyn Hogan, a 47-year
old Charlotte divorcee, whose
body was found last Aug. 17 be
neath the balcony of a room at
a resort motel where Howser
was staying on nearby Jekyll
Island, Ga.
The defense rested late Satur
day afternoon, following a suc
cession of character witnesses
and tearful testimony from
Howser, who told the court, “I
committed adultry — that’s all
I’m guilty of.”
Thomas put two rebuttal wit
nesses on the stand but then
asked Glynn Superior Court
Judge Jack Ballenger for a re-
Norman Shavin
Named Editor
Os Magazine
ATLANTA (UPI )-Former At
lanta Constitution columnist
Norman Shavin has been named
editor of the troubled Atlanta
Magazine.
Shavin’s appointment came on
the heels of the resignations of
editor John W. Lange and man
aging editor Bill Winn. Both re
signed last week during a con
troversy with the publisher,
Opie Shelton, over the editorial
content of a short story pub
lished in the December issue.
The award-winning magazine
is published monthly by the At
lanta Area Chamber of Com
merce. Shelton is executive vice
president of the chamber.
Shavin, who has been as
sistant to the regional director
of the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, will
have full responsibility for edi
torial content of the magazine,
according to Shelton.
The story that caused the con
troversy was written under a
pseudonym by a Jesuit priest.
Winn said Shelton considered
the story “filthy, obscene and
pornographic.”
cess until Monday morning. He
said he needed more time to
prepared rebuttal witnesses,
specifically to summon an At
lanta physician, whose name he
did not reveal.
Howser, who was on the stand
about 45 minutes in his own de
fense Saturday, said Mrs. Ho
gan had been drinking heavily
and refused to eat at the time
of her death.
He said he had several drinks
too and, while taking pictures of
her posed on the third-floor bal
cony of the motel room, began
to feel dizzy.
Howser said that was the last
he remembered until he awak
ened in the room sometime la
ter to find Mrs. Hogan throw
ing cigars at him. He said he
told her to "leave me alone,”
and fell asleep again, only to
awaken a second time.
“I looked up and she was ly
ing across that rail. I said,
‘Carolyn, get down before you
fall.’
“I turned my head and then
looked back, and there wasn’t
any Carolyn. I got up and walk
ed out on the balcony, and so
help me God, there she was,”
he said.
The 280-pound Howser, shak
ing with sobs at times, told the
jurors:
“So help me God, do anything
you want with me, but I never
harmed that girl. I’ve done a
lot of good for people. I don’t
know how I could suffer more.
I hope you will see fit to let
me go.
“I lived with my wife 20 years
and I never cheated on her. I
never touched a woman, except
Carolyn. The first person to
come to my aid was my wife,
and she’s been sitting by my
side all week.”
