Household Exemption
Bill Gets Top Priority
ATLANTAf UPl)—jointlegis
lative budget committees con
tinued hearing a plea for more
1970 school funds today, and the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee prepared to deal with a
bill to exempt household goods
from ad valorem levies.
Ways and Means Chairman
Quimby Melton Jr. of Griffin
said the household exemption
bill, informally endorsed by
House Democrats would have
top billing when his committee
met. Melton said Gov. Lester
Maddox’s sales tax increase bill
would “just have to wait its
turn.”
The joint appropriations com
mittees were told Monday that
school building must go on dur
ing the integration controversy
which promised some “very dif
ficult days ahead.”
State School Supt. Jack Nix
admitted that desegregation or
ders caused some schools to
empty or close while others
were overcrowded, but he said
“we cannot abandon our respon
sibilities as public servants.”
Nix sought approval of $2.5
million in bond-financing money
before July.
Later today the House readied
for a fight over the executive
article of the proposed new con
stitution, which deletes the state
school superintendent and the
labor commissioner from the
list of elected officers.
The House turned down a

ATLANTA - Rep. Quimby
Melton of Griffin shown on the
House floor yesterday talks
about his bill to control ob
scenity. The bill would include
the right for local governments
to tax movies on their ratings. A
statewide tax would also be in
cluded of $5,000 for each sale of
obscene matter. Melton, chair
man of the House Ways and
Means Committee, said that
Georgia has been hit by a flood
of obscenity and something
must be done about it. (UPI)
sweeping reform proposal for
the judiciary which would have
made state court judges select
ed from nominations by a com
mission rather than elected. The
vote was 118-14 to rewrite the
judicial article to conform with
present popular election of
judges.
Tifton Rep. Henry Bostick re
marked, “there are enough bug
gers and goblins and ghosts and
monsters in this (judicial) sec
tion to scare hell out of all of
us.”
The House also defeated Jes
up Rep. McKee Hargrett’s effort
to table the proposed constitu
tion.
In another action:
— Albany Sen. Al Holloway
dropped the first bills of a ma
jor tax revision package into
Senate hoppers. One of the six
reform bills, drawn by the Tax
Revision Study Commission last
year, would let communities al

valorem taxes on an installment
basis in advance.
— Athens Sen. Paul Broun in
troduced a measure to let jur
ies see the prior record of con
victed persons before setting
sentence.
— Melton made a personal
plea in the House for support
of his bills to curb pornograph
through taxation, saying a
“flood of obscenity and filth”
has hit Georgia.
—Sen. John Riley of Savan
nash offered a bill to freeze
state employment in executive
agencies at its level on Jan. 1,
1969 as one way to cut govern
ment costs.
—A House study committee
introduced a strong new code of
ethics for legislators and state
employes, similar to one intro
duced in the Senate.
Parts Os South Balking
At New Court Orders
By O’NEIL HENDRICK
ATLANTA (UPI)-Parts of
the official South are beginning
to balk at the Supreme Court’s
massive desegregation program
for public schools. Two govern
ors say they will defy the fed
eral courts and a third is advo
cating classroom boycotts.
A Louisiana high school shut
down Monday following fighting
between white and black stu
dents and a North Carolina
high school cautiously reopened
after a week of intermittent ra
cial battling between students.
Many school districts are un
der federal court orders to de
segregate by Feb. 1, but Gov.
Claude Kirk of Florida told the
Supreme Court Monday such a
deadline would create “finan
cial chaos” in his state.
Kirk Would Act
Kirk told the high court if it
did not extend the deadline to
June 15, he would do it himself
by executive order.
“Floridians have not stood in
school doorways, nor have we
brandished axe handles,” Kirk
said. “And were it possible to
achieve racial balance by Feb.
1 or even Jan. 31, you would
find us at the head of the line,
striving to lead, not be led or
coerced.”
Louisiana Gov. John J. Mc-
Keithen said Monday night he
will refuse to “allow my chil
dren to be bused as animals in
some experiment. Enough is
enough.”
McKeithen called upon par
ents in Louisiana and other
states to join him in opposing
busing to achieve racial balance
in schools. “I’m going to send
Attorney
Plunges

ATLANTA (UPI)-A 36-year
old Atlanta attorney plunged to
his death from the 21st floor
into the lobby of the plush Re
gency Hyatt House Hotel Mon
day. The body of Alan B. Bonser
was found in the encosed lobby
courtyard near an airline coun
ter.
Authorities were unable to find
a motive fop the apparent sui

opened in 1967. The other vic

my children back to the school
they have been going to,” he
said.
Maddox Opposed
Gov. Lester Maddox has
urged Georgia students and
teachers to boycott classes in
protest against teacher and pu
pil integration orders by feder
al courts. Dr. Franklin Shu
make, president of the Georgia
Education Association, Monday
accused Maddox of complicat
ing the situation and vowed that
his group “would resist any ef
fort to defy laws, close schools
or promote substandard private
schools.”
Fourteen Southern school dis
tricts submitted plans Monday
to the sth U. S. Circuit Court
of Appeals in New Orleans, sug
gesting how they might best
carry out total desegregation by
Feb. 1. The “suggestions” could
be incorporated into the final
decrees.
At Thibodaux, La., fighting
between white and black stu
dents broke out again Monday
at Thibodaux High School and
School Supt. Woodrow J. Defe
lice dismissed classes. “We’re
closing the school because ten
sion is so bad and we’re
not accomplishing anything....
not teaching them anything,”
he said.
A lunchroom battle between
white and black students at
Rose High School in Greenville,
N. C., at the start of last week
touched off a week of intermit
tent fighting. Around 40 stu
dents were suspended. The
school began a new week Mon
day with no incidents, but 175
students were absent.
Court Rejects
Presbyterian
Appeal
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Supreme Court has rejected an
appeal by the Presbyterian
Church in its bid to regain con
trol of property taken over by
two secessionist churches in
Savannah, Ga.
The action upheld an earlier
ruling by the Georgia Supreme
Court.
The Hull Memorialand East
ern Heights churches severed
connections with the parent de
nomination in 1966 and refused
to give up about $170,000 worth
of property. The Savannah con
gregations claimed their parent
body had “departed from its
original tenets of faith” by tak
ing stands on civil rights.
It was the second time before
the Supreme Court for the case,
which had been sent back for
reconsideration by state courts
after the Supreme Court ruled
in 1969 that civil tribunals may
not consider matters of re
ligious doctrine and practice
when deciding lawsuits over
church property.
SLIDE KILLS THREE
INVERNESS, Scotland (UPI)
—Rescue workers Monday night
found the bodies of two men
and a woman, killed by an
avalanche near the top of
Brigain’s highest mountain,
4,406-foot Ben Nevis. A fourth
climber was found alive.

Newest Nominee
Called Moderate
U. S. Circuit Court judge said
Monday after President Nixon
named him to fill the Supreme
Court vacancy created by the
resignation of Justice Abe For
tas.
If the 50-year-old Carswell is
confirmed by the Senate, he
will have the highest federal
government post ever held by a
Floridian.
Carswell was confirmed by
the Senate without difficulty
last June when he was elevated
from the U. S. district court to
the sth U. S. Circuit Court of
Appeals.
The bespectacled jurist—a
registered Republican—said he
did not “anticipate or unantici
pate” any problems in winning
Senate confirmation.
“I’ll just roll with the punch
es,” he said.
Carswell’s nomination was
hailed by both Republicans and
Democrats in Florida and in
Washington.
Sen. Ed Gurney, R-Fla., said
he proposed Carswell to Presi
dent Nixon. Gurney called the
judge “a moderate, middle of
the road person on civil rights.
He’s a judge’s judge.”
“The President has made an
excellent choice,” said Florida
Supreme Court Justice B. K.
Roberts, a Democrat whose
name was mentioned to the
President, but was subsequently
rejected because Roberts is 62.
During his 12 years as a U.S.
district court judge, Carswell
ruled on a half dozen civil
rights cases involving schools,
restaurants, theaters and bar
ber shops.
In each case. Carswell or-
Kentucky fried
"READY WHEN YOU ARE"
dered the facilities integrated.
But his decision on public
schools followed the “freedom
of choice” philosophy that was
later reversed by the circuit
court on which Carswell now
sits.
Asked to label himself, Cars
well said “a judge is neither
pro or con. I want to approach
the law firmly.
When pressed, Carswell final
ly called himself “a moderate.”
But attorneys who practice reg
ularly before Carswell rate him
as a “moderate conservative.”
Carswell lives in a rambling
white brick home 10 miles north
of Tallahassee on Lake Jack
son.
