not go outside the party to find
leadership but warned the par

His reference to outside
leadership was interpreted by
some of the 200 members of the
Georgia Democratic Executive
Committee as a slap at Ala
bama Gov. George C. Wallace,
a potential third party candi

“We know we don’t have to
go outside the Democratic Par
ty to find the answers to prob
lems that bother Democrats in
Georgia and Democrats in West
Virginia and all over the
country,” Byrd said.
“The Democratic Party has
provided strong leadership be
fore and it can do it again.”
But Byrd said some national
leaders are “well meaning Mes

South Korea fears
communist buildup
SEOUL (UPI) - President
Park Chung-hee declared a
state of emergency today
because of what he termed a
grave threat from North Korea
and the admission of China to
the United Nations. He told
South Koreans the price of
defending freedom may include
forsaking “some of the free
doms we now enjoy.”
Park said the North Korean
Communists have turned the
whole of North Korea into a
huge garrison with considerable
fortifications. He said there are
1.4 million militia and 700,000
Red Youth guards supporting
500,000 regular army troops.
The state of emergency falls
just short of martial law but
the government declined to say
exactly what restrictions the
people will face. It did say it

Those delegates and al

which endangers national secur

Government sources said the
state of emergency would
remain as long as tension
mounts in Korea."
“We must be aware of the
fact that the local tension in the
Korean peninsula is constantly
mounting,” Park said. He said
China had recently supported
the North Korean demand for
dissolution of U.N. forces and
other U.N. agencies in Korea
and he said it portended danger
for South Korean security.

Maddox prefers
Christian label
RALEIGH, N. C. (UPI) —Lt Gov. Lester Maddox of
Georgia told a Baptist congregation Sunday he would
rather be remembered as a Christian than as a politician.
Speaking to the morning worship service at the Neuse
Baptist Church near here, the former Peach State
governor added that he thinks Americans should take note
of what happened to the Israelis in biblical times.
“Ancient Israelites became self-righteous when they
began to acquire material wealth,” he said. “Their
country began to crumble.
“We’re having the ;same trouble in America.”
Maddox noted that many people are surprised by his
regular church attendance and frequent addresses from
the pulpit
Fire prevention
panel opens meets
ATHENS, Ga. (UPI) — The President’s Commission on
Fire Prevention and Control begins a three-day meeting
today at the University of Georgia Center for Continuing
Education.
The 18-member group will determine critical issues for
the commission’s first hearing on fire suppression to be
held in Los Angeles Feb. 13-17.
The chairman of the commission is Howard D. Tipton,
35, former city manager of Glendora, Calif., and a
consultant to various California cities before assuming his
federal duties last September.
“I am shocked, as all Americans are, that
approximately 12,000 of our countrymen died by
destructive fires in 1970,” Tipton said.
He said that around 210 firefighters, paid and volunteer,
died in the line of duty in the nation and that property
damage from fire totaled more than $2.5 billion.
“It is the responsibility of everyone to do the maximum
to prevent this tremendous waste of life and property
fire,” he said.
17-year-old hangs
self in jail cell
MOULTRIE, Ga. (UPI) - Colquitt County Sheriff D.H.
Aiderman Jr. said Sunday that a 17-year-old boy who
hanged himself in jail had shown no signs of being
despondent
The youth, William Luther Paramore, was jailed along
with two 15-year-old boys, on shoplifting charges last
Thursday. He apparently hanged himself late Friday
afternoon by looping his belt around a shower curtain rod
and then around his neck.
“He didn’t seem despondent at all,” Aiderman said.
“It’s hard tosay why a 17-year-old kid—with everything to
live for —would do a thing like that It just kind of shocks
you.”
Aiderman said the boys were served lunch about noon
Friday after which they sang songs and “cut up a little.”
A guard found the youth hanged when he came to serve
supper.
The sheriff said he didn’t know whether Paramore had
been in previous trouble but he did not recall the youth as
a troublemaker.

Mobile home fight shapes
ATLANTA (UPI) - Debate
has begun to shape up for what
may become one of the bigger
legislative fights in the next
session of the General Assembly
—the width of mobile homes
that can be hauled down Geor
gia highways.
A hearing has been set by the
Georgia House of Representa
tives’s Oversized Vehicle Study
Committee at the state Capitol
next Saturday.
Many manufacturers — but
not all —of mobile homes in
Georgia want the state to per
mit the movement of 14-foot
wide mobile homes down the
highway. They point out that
Georgia is the Number 1 pro
ducer of mobile homes in the
nation and the added width is
necessary to protect that stand-

ing and the SBS million indus
try.
At present, mobile homes are
limited to 12-foot width on
Georgia highways. Thirty-one
states, including Alabama, now
allow 14-footers on the roads.
One of the opponents of the
proposal, State Republican Par
ty Chairman Bob Shaw, said
(faring the weekend that the
proposal, which has the backing
of Gov. Jimmy Carter, is an
example of special interest
greed.
“Our already tragic highway
death rate will skyrocket once
irresponsible lobbyists and poli
ticians open the gates to these
oversized mobile homes,” Shaw
said.
Shaw also charged that truck
ing interests are closely follow
ing the progress of the 14-foot
proposal and that truckers will
propose double trailers and
greater weight and length lim
its if it passes.
Allowing the over-sized trail
ers on state highways would
have the effect of shoving the
little man off the highway.
“This bill gives the people a
dear view of their governor,
their lieutenant governor and
their legislature,” Shaw said.
“They either favor the little
man, the average motorist, or
they back the special interests
and accept irresponsible big
mobile homes on our already in
adequate highways.”
In addition to Carter and the
Georgia Manufacturers Housing
Association, the proposal has
the backing of the State Board
of Industry and Trade.
