stand on the proposed new con
stitution scheduled to come up
this week in the General As
sembly.
The caucus is a loose coali
tion of urban legislators from
over the state formed last year
to fight for big city causes.
Members of the group held
the first meeting of the current
legislative session Sunday night,
reportedly to reach a consensus
on the proposed new constitu
tion, which was drawn up last
summer by a special commis
sion and already has been
amended by the House Judici
ary Committee.
Rep. Howard Atherton of
Marietta said, “I think we
ought to oppose the whole
thing.” Atherton pointed out
that the General Assembly will
be reapportioned after the 1970
federal census and that urban
areas likely would have more

control over the legislature af
ter that.
“I know we need a new con
stitution,” Atherton said. “But
I don’t see any real urgency
now. During the next four
years, new ideas are going to
be the order of the day” and
a new constitution more favor
able to the urban areas could
be written later.
But Rep. Billy Lee of Albany
and Rep. Mitch Miller of Ma
con said while they are not en
tirely happy with the constitu
tion that has been proposed,
they think the group should
wait and see what comes out of
the House before making a de
cision.
“I can’t tell you how I’m go
ing to vote right now,” Lee
said. “If the House comes up
with what I think is a good
constitution, then I’ll vote for
it. If it’s a bad constitution,
I’ll have to vote against it.”
Rep. Elliott Levitas of De-
Kalb County agreed. “I think
we ought to wait and see what
product we’re going to be asked
to vote on,” Levitas said.
The meeting of the caucus
was interrupted by visits from
potential statewide candidates
in this year’s elections. Former
Gov. Carl Sanders and former
State Sen. Jimmy Carter, both
expected to seek the Demo
cratic nomination for governor
this year, and DeKalb Republi
can Sen. Frank Miller, an an
nounced candidate for lieuten
ant governor, visited at one
time or another.
The visits spurred debate
among some of the caucus
members about whether they
should be allowed in the future.
President Was Arrested
President Ulysses S. Grant
was once arrested for ex
ceeding the Washington
speed limit while driving a
spirited horse. Grant put up
a deposit of S2O and com
mended the policeman for
doing his duty, but he did
not appear in court.

Vets Benefits
Free Os Taxes
Atlanta - Now that in
come tax filing time is here
again, the Director of the
State Department of Veter
ans Service, Pete Wheeler, is
reminding veterans that mon
ey received by them as bene
fits is not subject to income
tax. He said that disability
compensation and pensions,
education and training allow
ances, home and automobile
grants to the seriously disa
bled, and death benefits paid
to veterans’ survivors, are ex
empt and, therefore, do not
have to be reported on federal
income tax returns.
Income of military person
nel on duty in Vietnam or its
adjacent waters is also ex
cluded from federal taxation.
The entire amount of military
pay received for such service
may be excluded from the
gross income of enlisted per
sonnel. A commissioned offi
cer may exclude up to SSOO
for each month of combat
zone service.
“It should be emphasized,”
said Wheeler, “that these ex
clusions apply only for those
months that the taxpayer
serves in the combat zone, or
during the months he is hospi
talized as a result of wounds,
disease or injuries incurred in
a combat zone.”
Wheeler added that all mili
tary pay of enlisted men and
up to SSOO per month paid to
commissioned officers serving
in a combat zone will be ex
cluded from state income tax,
but he said that interest earned
by GI life insurance dividends
left on deposit with the Vet
erans Administration is con
sidered taxable, and, conse
quently, must be reported on
both federal and state tax
returns.
A section of the Internal
Revenue Code also provides
for the cancellation of certain
income tax liabilities of ser
vicemen who die as a result of
wounds, disease or injury
while on duty in a combat
area. Under this section:
(1) all federal income taxes,
whether on military pay or
not, are forgiven for the year
in which the serviceman was
killed or in the year in which
he dies of wounds, disease or
injury sustained in the com
bat zone; (2) if he entered the
combat zone in the year pre
vious to the one in which he
was killed, all taxes are for-

Students, Teachers
Protest In Atlanta
ATLANTA (UPI)-White and
black students in Atlanta public
schools are protesting a federal
court’s order for immediate de
segregation of faculties.
“Coming in the middle of the
term, teacher transfers will
ruin our exams, senior proms
and things like that,” said Lar
ry Kalski, a student leader who
has organized mass demonstra
tions against the order. “We
know we can’t stop it, but we
would like to delay it.”
The Atlanta School Board was
to present its desegregation plan
to Federal Judge Frank Hooper
today.
The students want the trans
fers delayed until March 4,
when a new quarter begins.
The court has ordered the plan
into effect Feb. 1. School Supt.
John Letson and Dr. Benjamin
Mays, Negro chairman of the
school board, also are seeking
a delay.
Kalski, president of the stu
dent body at predominantly
white Fulton High School, said
15 to 20 student body presidents
met Sunday to make plans for
student protest marches which,
he said, would involve up to
20,000 students daily. Whites
and blacks were represented at
the meeting.
Kalski said he expected to
given;(3) if he was delinquent
in payment of personal in
come taxes for any preceding
year in which he served in a
combat zone, those taxes are
forgiven.
The Internal Revenue Ser
vice provides extension privi
leges for the filing of returns
by servicemen who are on
duty in combat zones. Appli
cations for tax refunds should
be filed with the IRS Center
where the tax return was filed.

have 15,000 marchers today “if
the weather is good.” But most
streets were hazardous in Atlan
ta today because of ice.
Gov. Lester Maddox, who has
called for pupil and parent re
sistance to the integration or
der, offered to march with the
students. But they declined,
saying they wanted to do it “on
our own.”
The board of education plan,
using a lottery system, would
transfer some 2,000 of the city’s
5,000 teachers to achieve a court
- ordered racial balance of 57
per cent Negro and 43 per cent
white in each school - the city
wide ratio of white and black
teachers.
The board’s student integra
tion plan, which would be im
plemented Sept. 1, achieves
some racial balance by modi
fied “zoning and pairing” of
school districts. The plan does
not propose mass busing.
The Georgia General Assem
bly opened its 1970 session to
day and Maddox says he is pre
paring special legislation to lib
eralize the compulsory attend
ance laws to make it legal for
children to stay away from a
school not of his own choosing.
Maddox has urged students and
teachers to boycott classes until
“local control” of education is
restored.
Archbishop Thomas A. Don
nellan of the Atlanta Archdio
cese of the Roman Catholic
Church has closed enrollment
in parochial schools to prevent
students from entering Catholic
schools to escape integration.
