U.S. District Court Judge John
J. Sirica.
“I guilty,” Magruder
said in a Jiuiet voice.
Sirica postponed indefinitely
the sentencing of Magruder and
released him on his own
recognizance.
Magruder was the second
high Nixon campaign official to
plead guilty to conspiracy
charges. The first was Frede
rick C. Laßue, an aide to
campaign director John N.
Mitchell, who entered his plea
June 27.
Both Laßue and Magruder
will be government witnesses at
forthcoming Watergate trials.
Sirica said he would not
sentence either man until the
trials are over.
Conspiracy carries a max
imum penalty of five years in
prison, a SIO,OOO fine or both.
James F. Neal, an assistant
to Cox, said the prosecutor had
decided to accept Magruder’s
plea to a single conspiracy
count instead of indicting him
on other charges because
Magruder had come to prosecu
tors voluntarily in April to spell
out his role in the scandal.
“Os course, if you’re going to
have a trial, you’ve got to have
witnesses,” Neal told reporters.
Indictments against other
figures in the case are not
expected for several more
weeks.

Magruder talks to newsmen.
Transportion board
undecided on vote
ATLANTA (UPI) - The Geor
gia Board of Transportation is
still undecided on whether to
hold a referendum on the con
troversial 1-485.
The proposal for referendum
came up at the board’s meeting
Thursdaywithmembersdiscuss
ing the possibility of putting the
issue on the city election ballot
for Oct. 1.
The transportation board is
standing by its earlier approval
of the highway on which $lB to
S2O million has already been
spent toacquire rights-of-way.
Alex Smith, a board member
from Atlanta, said he was fasci
nated by the idea, while board
chairman Hugh Broome ques
tioned the proposal, saying it
might set a precedent.
Smith said the vote would
carry no legal weight and “it
would clear up the question of
how people feel?
Another board member, Jack
Embryos DeKalb County, en
dorsed the idea, saying it might
be a means of reviving the
Stone Mountain Tollway,
dropped after a group success
fully opposed it.
The 1-485 expressway was de
signed to provide more north
south traffic flow into the down
town area. Opposition to the
highway has succeeded in
blocking construction.

Corneila man killed
CORNELIA, Ga. (UPI)—A 28-year-old Cornelia man
was killed and a teen-ager injured Thursday night in a
two-car crash at the intersection of the Cornelia by-pass
and the old Cleveland highway.
State trooper Mack Childs identified the victim as
Freddie Joe McAllister, who was dead on arrival at
Habersham County Hospital in Demorest.
George LaCount, 18, of Mount Airy, driver of the second
vehicle, was admitted to the same hospital with multiple
bruises.
Lockheed outlook
MARIETTA, Ga. (UPI)— The President of the
Lockheed Corporation said Thursday the improved Cl3O
Hercules jet will provide work for Lockheed-Georgia “for
a long time to come.”
A. C. Kotchian said there is a “good possibility” the
company will offer an improved C-130. He also predicted
the Georgia plant will begin producing the advanced
Jet-Star II business transport, though the decision will not
be made until early 1974.
Speaking to the Marietta Kiwanis Club, Kotchian called
the C-130 “a real winner.” He said, “No other large
transport has had such a life span — more than 20 years —
and it’s going just as strong as ever.”
Kotchian predicted Lockheed-Georgia probably will end
the year with 8,500 employes, 1,500 more than expected,
and an annual payroll of $l2O, million.
He said the company had little hope for Georgia
plant last January as C-5 production was being phased
out. But he said the picture was brightened by more C-5
related maintenance and test work than anticipated,
additional research and technology business, and more
orders for the C-130.
Pierce guilty again
SOPERTON, Ga. (UPI) -William “Junior” Pierce,
convicted on five previous murder charges, was found
guilty Thursday of the 1971 murder of a grocery store
operator in Treutlen County.
The 40-year-old ex-convict was found guilty of killing
Mrs. F. Thigpen and was sentenced to life in prison.
A jury of 10 men and two women returned with the
verdict after deliberating a short while.
Pierce was serving five life sentences for the previous
convictions. He awaits trial for two others, having faced
charges from three Southern states.
Talmadge says tapes
still best evidence
LOVEJOY, Ga. (UPI) — Sen.
Herman Talmadge, D-Ga., dis
missed Thursday the President’s
executive privilege arguments,
saying the concept doesn’t ap
ply if the question of a crime
can be settled.
“I agree with the concept of
executive privilege,” Talmadge
said referring to President Nix
on’s Wednesday nightbroadcast,
“but it doesn’t apply when
there’s a possibility that crimes
have been committed.
President Nixon said he would
continue refusing to release the
Watergate tapes, preventing a
precedent that would weaken
the constitutional privilege of
the presidency.
But Talmadge, a member of
the Senate Watergate commit
tee, said, “The tapes are still
the highest and best evidence.”
The senator refused to say
whether he thought Nixon
cleared himself of involvement
in the scandal, saying the
“American people will be the
final judges in this matter.”
Another reaction to the Pres-
Brutality
probe
reopened
MACON, Ga. (UPI) - A sec
ond probe into police brutality
charges here has begun after
two Macon policeman claimed
an inmate had been pushed
head - first down steps at the
city jail.
Arresting officers reported
that John Tucker, 33, of Jack
sonville, Fla., slipped on the jail
steps and hit his head. They
said Tucker was “arrogant and
real smart” when they tried to
lock him up on charges of pub
licdrunkenness, resisting arrest
and disorderly conduct.
Tucker was rushed to a local
hospital shortly afterwards, and
he underwent emergency surg
ery to remove a blood clot from
his brain. He remained in criti
cal condition at the hospital for
a month.
The FBI dismissed earlier po
lice brutality charges after in
vestigating the incident. How
ever, Sydney Pyles, vice chair
man of the city council police
committee, said he would insist
that his committee hear the
matter.
ident’s speech came from state
Democratic Chairman, Charles
Kirby, who said he thought Nix
on made a “pretty good pitch.”
Kirby said he didn’t think the
President answered a lot of
questions, but “It makes a lot
of sense to get on with some
thing else.”
Lt. Gov. Lester Maddox said
he thought the President wasted
his time delivering the message,
adding he is sorry for Nixon.
Maddox said, “He could have
told the truth in five minutes.”
Both state GOP Chairman
Robert Shaw of Atlanta and na
tional GOP Committee member
Nolan Murrah of Columbus ex
pressed doubts that the broad
cast exonerated Nixon in the
minds of the people.
Shaw said the impact of the
Watergate hearings “may have
gone too far.”
