Henry
cases
voided
McDONOUGH, Ga.-In a
final ruling, the Georgia
Supreme Court has overturned
all charges against four Henry
County Commissioners. They
had been charged with
malpractice.
The four are Chairman A. W.
Austin, Bud Kelley, J. S. Lewis
and Jim Steele.
It is presumed that the rulings
will apply to a fifth com
missioner, C. A. (Tip) Phillips
who had faced similar charges.
However, the court’s ruling
did not include an opinion on the
charge against Mr. Phillips
alleging the conversion of
property to personel use.
This was the third ruling by
the state court in the cases. The
courts held that a 1968 law
which superceded the 1921 law
under which the commissioners
were accused.

Task force
to battle
drunk driving
The Department of Public
Safety is making plans to get
drinking drivers off Georgia
highways — literally — ac
cording to Director Colonel Ray
Pope.
The State Office of the
Coordinator of Highway Safety
has announced its approval of a
three year, $1,200,000 project
aimed at curtailing alcohol use
on Georgia's highways, which
figures in more than half of the
State’s traffic fatalities each
year.
Plans are for creating a 18
member task force trained in
the detection and apprehension
of the drinking driver. The team
is designed specifically to
remove the drunk driver from
the public roads and help cut
traffic injuries and deaths
caused by driving under the
influence.
Extensive studies will be
made to discover where the task
force will be most effective,
then the force will move into the
trouble spot and crack down on
drinking drivers. Patrolling will
Hoe done during the time when
the effort will be of greatest
value.
