Maddox Keeps Up
Attack On Bootle
ATLANTA (UPI)—Gov. Les
ter Maddox has lashed out at a
U. S. District Court judge,
whom he called a “federal dic
tator,” and again blasted the
judge’s desegregation ruling.
Maddox declared that if he is
held in contempt of the judge’s
ruling, “it will not be for what
I do or say, but because of who
I am, what I am and what I
stand for.” Though he did not
mention him by name, Maddox
left no doubt he was referring
to Judge W. A. Bootle in a talk
before an Optimist Club meeting
Tuesday night.
“Last week a federal judge
ruled that if any citizens or
public officials assembled, as
provided for by the U. S. Con
stitution, to protest his earlier
edicts, those people would be
subject to immediate fine and
imprisonment,” Maddox said.
“And he also ruled that if any
person spoke out in opposition
to his ruling, that person would
be subject to an immediate fine
and imprisonment.”
The governor referred to an
order last week in which Bootle
directed Bibb and Houston
County schools to reopen and
integrate immediately. The
judge also warned parents and
others not to interfere.
“With one fell swoop,” Mad
dox said, “this federal judge,
who transformed himself into a
federal dictator, denied the cit
izens of Georgia their constitu
tional rights of freedom of as
sembly and freedom of speech
incomplete violation of the very
constitution he is supposed to be
upholding.”
It’s a sad state of affairs,
Maddox said, “when some be
fuddled appointed official, with

governor of a sovereign state
and prevent him from actine to
save the people of his free

Referring to the ax handle in
cident in the House restaurant
in Washington last week, the
governor said, “If the U. S.
Congress will keep the federal
government’s ‘dangerous weap
ons’ out of Georgia, then you
can be sure that I will keep
my ‘dangerous weapons’ out of
Washington.
“Federal tyranny has ripped

agency which long ago decided
that education of our children
was not important as long as
forced integration could be
achieved.”
The other blade, he said, was
made up of “judicial tyrants in
the federal courts.”

Wolfson Denies
Trying To Buy
’lnfluence’
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UPI)
—Financier Louis E. Wolfson,
recently released from a
federal prison, estimates he has
given public figures more than
$1 million but denied that he
never tried to buy influence.
Bitter at his conviction for
selling unregistered stocks, the
58-year-oldmultimillionairealso
denied he tried to buy the
influence of former U.S.
Supreme Court Justice Abe
Fortas.
He said he paid Fortas as a
consultant to the Wolfson
Foundation to help combat
juvenile delinquency because
he wanted to bring out “the
best in great men.” It was the
report of a $20,000-a-year
lifetime retainer to be paid
Fortas by Wolfson that led to
Fortas’ resignation from the
high court last year.
Reads 16-Page Statement
Surrounded by a crowd of 200
relatives and friends, Wolfson
read a 16-page statement in
which he attacked the Ameri
can penal system and some of
the laws of this country.
“I have made a tremendous
mistake in my lifetime,” he
said. “Now I want to help this
country which has been so good
to me and my family.”
The only person Wolfson
named as having received
money, other than the Fortas
retainer, was former Florida
Gov. Fuller Warren. Wolfson
quoted a news article as saying
that he gave Warren $300,000
over a period of time. He said
he was uncertain if the figure
was accurage but if it was
accurate, Warren received
more than any other individual.
Wolfson recommended the
president, vice president, Cabi
net members, judges and
others elected by the people
make public their net worth in
order to keep all financial
dealings out in the open.
He said judges should come
up for reconfirmation every
eight years to “end corruption
and senility.” He bitterly
attacked U.S. District Court
Judge Edmund L. Palmieri,
who presided at his trial, and
former U.S. Attorney Robert
M. Morgenthau and his staff
for what he claimed was an
inadequate opportunity to de
fend himself.
Serves Sentence In Florida
Wolfson served nine months
of a one-year sentence at the
Eglin, Fla., Air Force Base
minumum security prison. He
still faces 18 months in jail on a
second New York conviction
on charges of conspiring to ob
struct justice and filing false
reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. He is
appealing the second conviction.
Offering to travel around the
country at his own expense to
help bring about reforms in
federal laws, Wolfson called for
a revamping of the Bureau of
Prisons with a special aim
toward rehabilitation of young
people.

lice looking for the getaway car
in a service station holdup and
the description matched their
car.
The arrest procedure ran
smoothly enough until deputies
tried to search the 37-year-old
Montford, who whirled, grabbed
one deputy and wrestled for his
gun. The weapon went off into
the ground during the struggle
and Montford shifted his at
tention to a .38 caliber auto
matic on the seat of the car.
The shotgun of one deputy
boomed and Montford was dead.
Ironically, the huge Negro

Walt three years ago.

Reported More
Comfortable
By H. MICHAEL RABUN
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (UPI)-
Luci Johnson Nugent combed
her son’s hair as they walked
up the steps of Brooke General
Hospital.
“Are we going to see
grandpa?” she asked Lyn.
“Yes,” he said.
Mrs. Patrick Nugent and Lyn
were among the few visitors
permitted to see former Pres
ident Lyndon Baines Johnson
Tuesday.
“His doctors report President
Johnson has been more comfor
table during the day, although
he is still experiencing discom
forts in the chest,” according to
the last medical bulletin.
The next report on the
former president’s condition
was scheduled for 10 a.m.
today.
“Mrs. Johnson is still at the
hospital,” the statement said.
“President Johnson’s spirits are
good and he has been eating
well.”
Johnson flew from his LBJ
Ranch to the hospital by
helicopter Monday, suffering
chest pains. Lt. Col. Robert L.
North, chief of cardiology at
the hospital, diagnosed John
son’s troubles as “angina
pectoris,” a pain in the chest
resulting from a diminished
flow of blood to the heart.
“The situation with President
Johnson is not that severe,”
North said. “It is not severe
enough to actually cause any
severe injury to the heart
itself.”
