By FRANK FROSCH
PERRY (UPl)—Negro lead
ers said the first leg of a 110-
mile “march against death’*
would begin today with a mule
drawn wagon carrying six emp
ty caskets to symbolize the six
men shot to death in Augusta.
The march from Perry to At
lanta was the beginning of a
series of events leading to a
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference (SCLC) mass rally
in Atlanta Saturday expected to
draw thousands.
SCLC spokesmen began filling
out their Atlanta drawing card.
They announced Mrs. Coretta
King, Sen. George McGovern,
D-S.D., Black Panther David
Hilliard and Julian Bond all had
accepted invitations to speak.
The march, like the mass
demonstration in Atlanta, were
geared to protest basically what

Abernathy called the “shoot to
kill” mentality sweeping Amer
ica. It also was staged as a
protest of the “racist southern
strategy” pursued by the Nixon
administration.
Hosea Williams, SCLC region
al vice president, stated the
number of marchers had been
held to 100-150 because of logis
tical problems. Williams said a
size limitation had to be im
posed so the participants could
acquire food and shelter along
the route.
The coffins were included as
a reminder of those slain in the
Augusta riots eight days ago.
In eulogizing the dead, Aber
nathy said they died for “equal
ity and justice.”
While the last of the six killed
in Augusta was buried Monday,
the final units of a special
2,000-man Georgia National
Guard task force were pulled
out of that city.
Brig. Gen. Andrew McKenna,
the force commander, said his
troops had restored law and or
der to Augusta and could leave
with the confidence the situa
tion was back under control.
Gov. Lester Maddox had rushed
the soldiers to Augusta to help
police quell black rioting which
followed the death of a Negro
youth in jail.
A similar detachment of Na
tional Guard troops, though on
ly one-tenth as large, also was
pulled out of Athens, Ga., Mon
day as well.
The troops were hastily sum
moned in the wake of massive
arrests and four firebombings
in Athens, the home of the Uni
versity of Georgia. No serious
difficulty occurred in Athens
while the Guardsmen were on
duty.
Long County
Billboards
Painted Over
ATLANTA (UPI)-Gov. Les
ter Maddox said Monday two
billboards in Long County warn
ing of speed traps and clip
joints will be painted over.
But the governor said that
the two will be replaced by
eight signs if the speed traps
and clip joints revive.
Maddox had the signs, along
U.S. Highway 301 on each side
of Ludowici, put up at a cost of
$1,500 in his feud with the politi
cal establishment of Long Coun
ty.
“I’m going to paint them
over this week but if they start
up again, I’m going to put up
eight signs, four on 301 and
four on 82,” the governor said.
Rep Dewey Rush of Glenn
ville, whose district includes
Long County, has pledged to in
vestigate any complaints if the
governor would paint over the
signs.
Three businessmen from Long
County recently called on the
governor and made a plea for
removal of the signs. They
claimed the billboards were bad
for business.

were stealing items from homes

Ray Will Seek
Reelection
ATLANTA - State Treasurer
Jack B. Ray yesterday an
nounced his candidacy for
election to a third full term in
the office.
Citing his service of 19 years
as a state legislator and eight
years as state treasurer, Ray
said in a formal statement that
the people of Georgia “must
have in their treasir er’s office a
man of experience and of
proven responsibility...a man
who will hold his office above
partisan politics...”
Ray was appointed state
treasurer by Gov; Ernest
Vandiver in 1961, to fill the un
expired term of veteran
treasurer George Hamilton,
who retired. He was elected to a
full term in the office in 1962 and
re-elected without opposition in
1966.
He served in the House of
Representatives from 1943 until
his appointment as treasurer.
During his years in the House,
he was chairman of both the
Ways and Means Committee
and the Committee on Ap
propriations.
As a member of the Ways and
Means Committee, he served on
a “blue ribbon” tax study com
mission made up of business,
civic, labor and government
leaders. He helped write the
legislation that led to the adop
tion, in 1951, of sweeping
reforms in the state’s tax
structure.
As chairman of the Com
mittee on Aprpropirations, he
initiated budget reforms which
provided in effect, that the
General Assembly could not
appropriate more money in any
one year than the combined

amounts of anticipated revenue
and accumulated surplus.
The appropriations bill, which
was passed in 1961, was the first
significant budget-control legis
lation Georgia had had in a
number of years.
“The business of the State of
Georgia is big business,” Ray’s
announcement said. “Since
1943, when I was first elected to
the Legislature, I have watched
the cost of operating our
government grow from $66
million to more than $1 billion
annually- nearly $3 million
daily, including Saturdays, Sun
days and holidays. As the state
budget has grown, so have the
responsibilities of the office of
Treasurer.”
Ray was born in Adairsville,
Bartow County, in 1913, but has
lived most of his life in Warren
County, where he still operates
a farm. He attended public
schools in Warren and was
graduated from the University
of Georgia Law Schofl.
