en, a longtime Orkin employe,
had claimed the grand jury
list was unconstitutional
because it discriminated against
persons between the ages of 18
and 21.
The attorneys said the per
centage of persons between 18
and 21 on the list is far off bal
ance with the percentage of
those persons in the commun
ity.
But Williams said Georgia
law states that exclusion from
grand jury lists must be “pur
poseful and intentional” in or

Tuberculosis outbreak
hits Georgia cattle
ATLANTA (UPI) — Georgia
cattle are being hit by a severe
outbreak of tuberculosis that
has spread to at least 14 coun
ties, state officials said Wednes
day.
“It’s the worst outbreak in
Georgia that I can remember
and I’ve been in veterinary
medicine for 30 years,” said
state veterinarian James L. An
drews.
Andrews said 140 herds have
been quarantined, and 250 head
of cattle have reacted positively
to tuberculosis tests.
A federal task force is being
sent from Washington to help
test thousands of cattle for the
disease.
State Agriculture Commission
er Tommy Irvin said he re
quested the help from U. S. Un
dersecretary of Agriculture Phil
Campbell.
Convicted draft evader
temporarily free
COLUMBUS, Ga. (UPI) -
William Calvin Slater, who was
convicted five days ago of draft
evasion, is temporarily free un

Saxbe’s order releasing convict

Slater, who was released from
jail in Columbus so that he
could appeal his conviction, left
for his home in Dayton, Ohio,
Tuesday, his lawyer said.
Tom Flournoy, the lawyer,
said Slater was “ecstatic” about
the release.

He said state and federal of
ficials are moving swiftly to get
the testing done.
Andrews said officials are still
not sure how widespread the
epidemic is, but he expects that
some 760 herds will be tested.
He said, prior to the current
epidemic, TB in cattle had vir
tually disappeared. He said only
about one positive case every
two years has shown up in re
cent years.
The epidemic does not present
any problems for the public
health, Andrews said, because
slaughtered cattle are carefully
inspected under stiff federal
regulations.
Counties where the disease
has shown up already are Clay

Troup, Jackson, Houston,
Dodge, Jeff Davis, Colquitt,

he did not wilfully intend to
evade the draft. I don’t see any
reason why he shouldn’t be
granted clemency.”
Slater told the lawyer he
never received an order to re
port for induction. Slater had
testified that he registered for
the draft in Albany, Ga. But
moved to Dayton. He said the
induction notice must have gone
to the Albany address.
He was notified to report in
June, 1972 and when he didn’t
report, the FBI contacted him
in August, 1973. Slater was ar

Thompson said contributions
to the campaigns of Busbee and
