Tax man pleads guilty
ATLANTA (UPI) — William Reese, 47, one of several
income tax preparers arrested last spring by Internal
Revenue Service agents, entered a plea of guilty
Wednesday to five counts of wilfully aiding and assisting
clients in the preparation of false and fraudulent income
tax returns.
Reese, of Atlanta, will be sentenced at a later date in
U.S. District Richard Freeman’s court. He faces a
maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and-or a $25,000
fine.
Fugitive is arrested
SAVANNAH, Ga. (UPI) — Carlton Thomas Hopps 27, of
Camden, N.J., was arrested at the home of his aunt here
early Wednesday as a fugitive from New Jersey wanted in
connection with the murder of a cab driver.
Authorities said the cab driver, Lawrence Gaston, 24,
was robbed, shot twice in the back and wounded several
other times.
Presidential primary eyed
AUSTELL, Ga. (UPI) — Zell Miller, state Democratic
party executive director, said Wednesday that a bill
calling for presidential primaries in Georgia effective in
1975 has been drafted for the upcoming General
Assembly.
The primaries would apply to all political parties that
gathered 20 per cent or more of the vote in the previous
elections but other legislation would prohibit candidates
from running under more than one party banner.
Miller also said that legislation is badly needed to make
voting easier in Georgia and to keep down the number of
candidates. The latter goal would be difficult because of
federal court rulings.
More voting places would ease the difficulty in voting,
Miller said.
He also said that constitutional amendments should be
voted on in off-year elections, as suggested by Secretary
of State Ben Fortson.

1972 which would eliminate tax exemption from church
contributions before it wound up its 150th anniversary
meeting Wednesday.
The review has been proposed by Rep. Wilbur Mills, D-
Ark., in the House and Sen. Mike Mansfield, D Mont., in
the Senate.
“We urge that the convention go on record as
registering strong opposition to the elimination of tax
exemptions for gifts to churches,” a resolution said that
was approved unanimously.
“It is our judgment that tax deductions for voluntary
contributions to churches stand as long as government
police permits a tax deduction for voluntary contributions
in any nonprofit cause.”
Another resolution opposed the use of tax money for
church supported institutions such as government aid or
grants to parochial schools.
“We call upon all government officials to resist
pressures of shortsighted public opinion to make tax
money available to church owned and operated in
stitutions.
The convention also approved another resolution urg ng
“government officials at all levels to refrain from taxing
property owned by churches and used for church
purposes.”

will pick up deer lincenses and

which starts Saturday.
