ATHENS, Ga. (UPl)—Ath

Thursday night for telling his
dty a street project could be
underway this year when the
state treasurer’s office, now
held by Bill Burson. That vote
drew 365,457 in favor and 345,-
597 against.
A proposal to abolish the state
board of corrections, which has
been incorporated into the new
Offender Rehabilitation Board,
lost 383,533 to 332,898.
The other losing amendment
called for a change in the veto
procedure in state government,
loosing 339,979 to 322,202, the
plan would have allowed the
president of the senate and the
house speaker to call the Gen
eral Assembly into special ses

veto.
state didn’t intend to begin the
project until 1973.
Appearing before the State
Highway Board, the irate
Bishop said, “If the dty of
Athens operated this way they
would have run me out of of
fice after six months rather
than being around eight and a
half years.”
Bishop said Athens offidals
met with Department of Trans
portation offidals in July 1971
and were told that if the city
submitted its priorities for
street improvements that bonds
for the project coukl be sold by
April 1972.
Bishop said the state failed to
provide the dty with needed
right of way documents so that
the dty missed contract let
tings in April and October.
The mayor said finally a
highway engineer, Roy Brogdon
of Tennell, told him that the
state did not intend to let the
contract for the highway pro
ject until next year.
“At that time, I found out for
the first time through Mr. Brog
don that actually this project
was set for letting a contract in
August 1973. That’s next year,”
said the mayor. “Well, if I had
had false teeth I think I would
have dropped them, and I think
I kind of blew my top.”

Silent reporter jailed
By JACK V. FOX
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -
Reporter William Farr went to
jail for four hours Thursday and
may have to return indefinitely
for defying a judge’s demand to
reveal his sources for a story
about plans for weird celebrity
murders by the Charles Manson
“Family.”
Farr, 37, was held in
contempt by Superior Court
Judge Charles H. Older after
turning down a final chance to
answer Older’s question about
which of the lawyers in the
celebrated Manson trial violat
ed the judge’s “gag rule” by
giving information to Farr.
Farr was then turned over
to sheriff’s deputies to be taken
to jail “until such time as he
purges himself of contempt.”
Theoretically that could be for

as long as Older remains on the
bench.
Farr was released within four
hours on orders of the District
Court of Appeal pending a
ruling on a petition for a writ of
habeas corpus.
Farr’s Lawyer Argues
Farr’s lawyer argued in an
appeal to the higher court that
Older lacks jurisdiction to
impose such a penalty on Farr.
Farr said after his brief
imprisonment the “grim reali
ty” of his legal battle, which has
been carried unsuccessfully to
the U.S. Supreme Court, did not
really hit him “until the door
clanged behind me.”
He plucked at his jail trousers
and joked: “Well, the tailoring
isn’t as bad as I had thought it
would be.” Farr said he was
miffed that Older gave him only
24 hours warning to get his
personal affairs in order before
putting him behind bars.
Farr said earlier he had “no
choice” but to refuse Older’s
demand and thereby defend the
immunity granted the press
under the Ist Amendment of the
Constitution and California
statutes.
“It is vitally important for a
reporter not to be obligated to
reveal the sources of his
information,” Farr told news
men shortly before his sentenc
ing.
“My case aside, this applies
to far more important matters
—the investigation of
corruption in government,
cases involving organized
crime.”
The U.S. Supreme Court
earlier this week had declined
to hear Farr’s appeal of the
decision handed down by the
California 2nd District Court of
Appeal.
