Another Missionary
Dies Os Lassa Fever
ATLANTA (UPI) - Another
American missionary has died
of Lassa Fever in Nigeria,
where doctors are reported be
coming “demoralized” in their
fight against the deadly virus.
Dr. Wilbur G. Downs, head of
the Yale Arbovirus Research
Center, said Monday that Dr.
Jeannette Troup, a nurse had
died Feb. 18 in Jos, Nigeria, of
Lassa Fever. That makes four
Americans to succumb to the
newly discovered disease. Two
others survived. The fever is
reported to have struck at least
20 persons in Jos, killing half
of them.
Downs was in Atlanta to bring
up to date medical researchers
at the National Communicable
Disease Center (NCDC) on work
done to combat Lass Fever. Re
search started on it last year
at Yale, but was discontinued
after the disease killed a labor
atory technican.
The research will continue at
a newly-constructed high secur
ity laboratory at the NCDC.
Downs said Dr. Troup helped
care for two other American
missionery nurses who died last
year of Lassa Fever. Dr. Troup
died while caring for patients
of the current outbreak.
Downs said the two American
doctors at a Jos missionary hos
pital were “exhausted and be
coming demoralized” after a
long struggle with the outbreak
which started in January. ' .
He said there were reports from
Nigeria that three other hos
pital personnel died of the ill
ness, in addition to Miss Troup.
Dr. Jordi Casals, a Yale Vir
ologist who survived an attack
of the virus, left Sunday for
Nigeria to help the doctors at
Jos, presumably protected be
cause of previous exposure,
Downs said.
Georgia Bondsman
Are Freed
MEMPHIS (UPI) - After a
weekend in jail and a day in
court, two professional bonds
men from Georgia were freed
Monday after they posted bonds
of S2OO.
Criminal Court Judge Odell
Horton disagreed that a city
court judge erred in placing
Donald G. Pruitt and James P.
Henderson, both 32, under peace
bonds Friday.
But Horton did agree to
change the bonds from cash to
sure ty.effectivelylowering them
since only 10 per cent of the
face value of surety bonds must
be posted.
City Judge Ray Churchill
jailed Pruitt and Henderson and
imposed the bond after Winston
Green, 41, accused the two men
of threatening to return him to
Georgia “dead or alive.”
Churchill rejected their argu
ment that professional bonds
men are allowed to cross state
lines to take custody of persons
who have failed to meet their
bonds.

81 School Systems
Filed Plans As Told
ATLANTA (UPI)-The State
Education Department says all
81 Georgia school systems or
dered to file total desegregation
plans by March 1 have done so.
Dr. Allan Smith, deputy
school superintendent, said the
next step will be a review of
the plans by the state board
and possibly renegotiation of
some of them with individual
systems. The board has until
April 1 to report to federal court
on the matter.
The 81 systems were ordered
by a three-judge federal court
last December to completely de
segregate by September, 1970,
Jackson’s Stay
Ends Tuesday
ATLANTA (UPI)-A stay of
•execution for convicted rapist
Lucius Jackson of Savannah
runs out next Tuesday, but
chances the sentence will be
carried out soon are unlikely.
Jackson was granted a stay
in January by Gov. Lester Mad
dox after a request by the State
Pardon and Parole Board. At
about the same time, Justice
Hugo Black of the U. S. Su
preme Court granted a stay.
The Supreme Court action
gave Jackson’s attorney, Bobby
Hill of Savannah, 90 days in
which to request a review of the
state court’s sentence. Hill said
he would confer with his asso
ciates before determining a
course of action.

Moon Dust
Returned
LOS ANGELES (UPI)-A
missing vial of priceless moon
dust stolen from a display at a
fund-raising dinner was found
in a mailbox Monday when
police received an anonymous
telephone call.
The tiny vial was taken
Saturday night while two
offduty policemen watched over
$25,000 worth of diamonds on
another floor of Bullock’s
Department Store.
After the theft, sponsors of
the affair said it apparently
was taken as a practical joke.
The FBI and Police Chief
Edward M. Davis said their
investigations would continue.
The vial, containing 2.3
grams of the dust, was one of
three moon samples on display
at the SIOO-a-plate dinner.
The sample was loaned by
UCLA to the Saul Winstein and
Doheny Eye Foundation for the
charity affair. After police
found it, it was analyzed and
authenticated by Dr. George
Weatherill, the UCLA geologist
to whom the dust was entrusted
for scientific research.
“Old Conteniptibles"
The small British expedi

in 1914 was called “The Old

stems from an alleged sneer
of the kaiser at England’s
"contemptible little army.’’

'fhe order said the freedom
of choice was neither required
nor prohibited. The same wide
range of options applied to
abandonment of school buildings
and the pairings of schools. The
only real test is full integration,
the judges said.
Mass. Considers
Undeclared War Bill
BOSTON (UPI)-A bill to
prohibit the federal govenment
from sending Massachusetts
citizens to fight in undeclared
wars was to be submitted today
to the state legislature’s joint
judiciary committee.
The bill’s sponsors hope to
force the U.S. Supreme Court
to rule on the constitutionality
of the Vietnam War, which
never was declared by Con
gress.
Similar legislation has been
filed in the New York state
Assembly.

James Bentley Off And Running
ATLANTA (UPI) - State
Comptroller General James L.
Bentley had his campaign going
today for the Republican gub
ernatorial nomination.
Bentley opened his bid Mon
day night with a five - minute
television film seen across the
state. The film, in an obvious
pitch for the conservative vote,
outlined Bentley’s reasons for
shifting parties after only half
the Georgia delegation was seat
ed at the 1968 Democratic Na
tional Convention in Chicago.
The film pictured Bentley and
his son, Sam, walking together
in a quiet setting and then prom
inently displayed Georgia Rep.
