Cobb prefers
to stay in 7th
ROME, Ga. (UPI) - Cobb
County legislators have voiced
opposition to a congressional re
districting plan which would
take the county from the 7th
District and link it with the
metro Atlanta area.
In a two-pronged morning,
afternoon session, the proposal,
by State Sen. Sam Doss of
Rome, was outlined to Cobb
County leaders and residents at
hearings in Cartersville and
Rome.
Rep. Joe Mack Wilson of Ma
rietta, chairman of both the
Cobb delegation and the influ
ential House Urban Caucus,
called the hearings Monday
merely a “show” to impress the
congressional reapportionment
committee.
Rep. James “Sloppy” Floyd,
chairman of the House Appro
priations committee, said the
Cobb County delegation had
been “courting” the metro
Atlanta area and he thought it
in the best interest of Cobb
County to couple it with counties
with “similar interests.”
Wilson snapped backed that
Floyd was not serious about re
apportionment, but merely was
talking for consumption of his
Chattoga County constituents.
Floyd retaliated by saying the
county apparently “divorced it
self from the 7th District by
forming the urban caucus in the
last General Assembly.”
Doss’ proposal would replace
Cobb in the 7th with Gilmer
from the 9th District and Car
roll and Heard from the 6th. He
said his objective was “to shuf
fle as few counties as possible”
and still satisfy the federal con
cept of one man, one vote. He
said the plan would bring the
7th District into compliance
with an average of about 458,000
for each of the 10 counties.
Wilson indicated Cobb may
take advantage of its power in
the urban caucus and reappor
tionment committees to kill the
Doss plan.
House Speaker George L.
Smith, in discussing the special
session to deal with reapportion
ment, said he did not think it
was “proper” to include teach
ers’ salary increases on the
agenda. He said another session
Stokes
indicted
ATLANTA (UPI) - Atlanta
Aiderman Joe C. Stokes faced
charges today of embezzling
and misapplying nearly $440,000
in Citizens Trust Company
fund.
Mayor Sam Massell asked
Stokes to step down until the
matter was resolved in the
courts. Stokes had no comment,
but his attorney, Charles Welt
ner, said he would seek an im
mediate trial.
A federal grand jury returned
indictments Monday charging
that Stokes embezzled more
than $50,000 and misapplied al
most $390,000 more in funds at
Citizens Trust, where he served
as a vice president.
The indictments accused him
of embezzling $33,496 in April,
1970, and $18,642 in February,
1971; and misapplying $20,448 in
July, 1968; $354,000 in October,
1970, and $15,000 in October,
1969.
The indictments charged that
Stokes misapplied $374,448 for
loans to two fictitious persons.
A spokesman for the U.S. at
torney’s office said Stokes, if
convicted, could receive a sen
tence of five years in prison or
a $5,000 fine, or both, on each
count.

Corn blight
Using pesticides
not practical
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Farm scientists have not found
a practical way to control
Southern com leaf blight with
pesticides, Agriculture Depart
ment officials say.
The comment came in a
closed hearing before the House
Agriculture Appropriations
Committee in mid-March. The
hearing record was made
public this week.
Dr. H. R. Thomas, an official
of the Agricultural Research
Service, was asked if there are
any pesticides effective against
the blight.
Thomas said yes, pesticides
have been used against leaf
blight for many years by
Southern growers of sweet corn
and may be useful for some
seed corn producers. But,
Thomas added, the spraying

Heroin turns them on
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Tiny
lightning bugs are being trained
to turn on to heroin, and the
government is betting $29,012
this will help police nab users
and pushers.
“The first tests have proved
successful,” Richard W. Velde,
associate administrator of the
Law Enfrocement Assistance
Agency, told Congress.
Velde’s agency has a $29,012
contract with Huntington La
boratories, aimed at developing
heroin-sensitive fireflies which
will light up when they
encounter a police suspect with
heroin on his person. The test
involves a miniature version of
the common firefly.
Rep. John J. Rooney, D-N.Y.,
said skeptically his recollection
was that lightning bugs operat-
Sheriff welcomes probe
LOUISVILLE, Ga. (UPI) -
Sheriff Zollie Compton says he
would welcome an investigation
by the FBI or anyone else into
the apparent suicide of a black
man being held in the Jefferson
County Jail.
“I have nothing to hide, noth
ing whatsoever,” Compton said.
In Atlanta, black civil rights
leader Hosea Williams charged
there was a “good possibility”
the prisoner, Thomas Mack,
was lynched. The FBI con
firmed it had entered the case.
Compton said the case was
being exploited by “a certain
little group” which wants to
foment racial trouble.
The sheriff said Mack, a 29-
year-old paper and pulp mill
worker and father of four, was
found dead in his cell last Tues
day. He said Mack had hanged
himself.
Compton said he believed
Mack to be “mentally ill,” and
was being held overnight at his
mother’s request. He said Mack
was to have been committed to
the state hospital at Milledge
ville the next day.
Williams said, in a prepared
statement, that he had been

conceded their “biouminescent
agent” wasn’t good in cold
weather.
“We expect it to work very
well in places like Miami and
on the Mexican border,” he
said. “On the Canadian border
at certain times of the year we
will have to use other detecting
devices.”
So far the insect narcotic
agents are being tested by
police in New York City, Velde
reported in testimony published
today. The nature or extent of
the New York test was not
revealed.
Velde said his agency also is
supporting experiments in bet
ter training of dogs to sniff out
marijuana, a field in which
they are already at work in
some police departments.
asked by Mack’s widow to in
vestigate the death. He said
Mrs. Mack had “grave ques
tions” as to whether her hus
band committed suicide.
Williams said he halted
Mack’s funeral Sunday to read
the widow’s letter, which asked
his help in urging Gov. Jimmy
Carter and the Justice Depart
ment to look into the incident.
“After investigating the cir
cumstances surrounding the
death and talking with many of
the local people,” Williams said,
“there appears a good possibil
ity he is Georgia’s first lynch
ing victim by Georgia law en
forcement officers in some
time.”
The civil rights leader said he
was having Mack’s body taken
to Macon until a private path
ologist can perform an inde
pendent autopsy.
