Georgia bar denounces
no fault insurance idea
ATLANTA (UPI) —Declaring
that most of its members don’t
depend on automobile accident
cases for a living, the State
Bar of Georgia has announced
its opposition to no-fault auto
insurance.
“It is the opinion of the State
Bar of Georgia that the ‘no
fault’ system of automobile ac
cident reparations being pro
posed will deprive the citizens
of the state of certain rights
they now have,” the lawyers
association said Thursday.
The stand on no-fault insur
ance, which would provide cov
erage for all drivers no matter
who was at fault in an accident,

was developed by a special
committee picked by the bar’s
board of governors, and came
after 11 months of study.
Responding to the bar group’s
stand, the American Insurance
Association and the Georgia As
sociation of Independent Insur
ance Agents both reiterated
they are in favor of a no-fault
insurance plan.
Several states have adopted
the system, and the General As
sembly is expected to consider
a plan for it next year.
The attorneys’ study argued
for retaining the right of indi
viduals to go to court to recov
er “personal injury” losses
above $3,500, and “pain and suf
fering’’ damages, but called for
compulsory arbitration of per
sonal injury cases below $3,500.

Prisoner shot to death
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) — A prisoner being held on
armed robbery charges was shot to death by a deputy
sheriff today when he tried to flee the Richmond County
jail with a hostage.
Authorities said Gene Jackson, 25, of Augusta, was
fatally wounded by a shot fired through the window of the
jail by deputy Harold Abair.
Jackson was holding a gun to the head of deputy L. D.
Parsons at the time, officers said.
Deputies said Jackson escaped his cell when jailers en
tered the cellblock to aid a sick prisoner. Jackson ran into
an office and grabbed a pistol off a desk and then seized
Parsons as a hostage.
Abair sneaked up to an outside window and shot
Jackson when he had a clear chance, according to
deputies. Jackson died en route to a hospital, officers said.
Republicans pick electors
ATLANTA (UPI) — Records in Secretary of State Ben
Fortson’s office show a number of veteran state
Republican leaders are among the 12 persons chosen to
serve as electors who will cast votes for President Nixon if
he wins Georgia in his re-election effort.
State GOP Chairman Robert Shaw, National
Committeeman Howard “Bo” Callaway, State Sen. Oliver
Bateman of Macon, Mayor James R. Allen of Columbus,
Mrs. Florence Cauble of Canton, 1970 gubernatorial
candidate Hal Suit and Norwood attorney Jack B.
Ray, former state treasurer, are among the electors.
Shaw also announced about 37 state offices would be set
up around the state to help in the Nixon campaign effort,
including five Atlanta area offices.
The GOP chairman said Ray, a former Democrat who
switched to the Republican party, would serve as
chairman of the state re-election committee, with Mrs.
Cauble, retiring former national committeewoman from
Georgia, as co-chairman.
Gls may ask for review
ATLANTA (UPI) — Gls released from the service with
something less than an honorable discharge because they
were found to be using drugs may now ask for
reconsideration of the conditions of the discharge.
Emphasizing that an application for review of a
discharge should be accompanied by all evidence
available, state Veterans Service Director Pete Wheeler
said all Gls with the drug related discharges may have
them looked at again.
Wheeler said Thursday each branch of the armed
services has a permanent review board and an appeal
may be made at any time within 15 years of the date of
relase from active duty.
Rogers hits
McGovern’s
Viet policy
ATLANTA (UPI) - Secre
tary of State William P. Rogers
said Thursday night that Sen.
George McGovern’s Vietnam
policy would result in an “un
conscionable” abandonment of
South Vietnam to Communist
domination.
Rogers said President Nixon
has no intention of deserting
Saigon in order to secure a
peace agreement with Hanoi.
But Rogers’ speech to the
American- Hellenic Educational
and Progrrssive Association
(AHEPA) indicated the possi
bility that Nixon might be will
ing to see a change in the
Saigon government so long as
it remains strong and free of
Communist control.
The President, Rogers told
the organization of Americans
of Greek descent, is determined
to see that the South Vietnam
ese have the opportunity to “de
termine their own future.”
Without mentioning
McGovern by name, Rogers
made it clear he was attacking
the foreign policy positions of
the Democratic presidential
nominee.
