Amnesty program
has ‘loophole’
By IRA R. ALLEN
WASHINGTON (UPI) — A
loophole in the amnesty pro
gram would allow deserters to
escape punishment without
having to perform the 24
months of alternate service
required of draft evaders, the
Pentagon says.
The Pentagon also said that
in the first two days since the
conditional amnesty was an
nounced, 86 calls were received
from deserters or relatives. The
Army clearinghouse for return
ing deserters at Fort Benjamin
Harrison, Ind., said it had
received 92 calls as of late
Wednesday.
Under terms of the President
Ford’s conditional amnesty,
deserters have to pledge
Protest leader

CHARLESTON, W. Va. (UPI)
— Textbook protest leader Rev.
Ezra Graley slept in a jail cell
Wednesday night while others
active in a crusade to ban
“anti-Christian and un-Ameri

official harassment.
“I just hate to think people
have to suffer these filthy books
and the harassment of of

damentalist preacher, the Rev.
Marvin Horan.
Graley was escorted to jail
Wednesday for violating a court
injunction barring more than
five persons from picketing on

and agree to perform alternate
service. Once taking those
steps, they get an undesirable
discharge.
After certifying that they
have completed satisfactory
public service work, they can
appeal to a military review
board for a clemency discharge
to replace the undesirable
discharge.
But once the deserter gets the
undesirable discharge, a Penta
gon spokesman said today, the
military loses jurisdiction over
him and there is no way he can
be forced to perform the
alternate service.
Draft evaders, on the other
hand, must complete their
alternate service or face

of Education building, a judge
slapped a $250 fine and 30-day
jail term on the preacher.
Another clergyman, Rev.
Charles Quigley, faced a SSOO
fine but was released on a
$2,500 bond.
Several parents were
removed from a crowd demon
strating in a parking lot across
the street from the board
building and were taken away
in police wagons.
Circuit Judge John Goad
warned eight other men whom
he released that stiffer penal
ties would be imposed if there
were future violations of the
court injuction.
“I’m just a parent and I love
farm.”
H. Emett Reynolds, president
of the Georgia Farm Bureau,
said the trip by more than 100
farmers would mark the first
time farmers representing all
government prosecution.
“It’s true that once an
individual gets an undesirable
discharge he can then fail or
refuse to serve his alternate
service because since he’s
already discharged military
jurisdiction over him is ter
minated,” the spokesman said.
“But if he wishes to receive a
clemency discharge —part of
the requirement for getting
clemency discharge means he
has to attest to fact he has
satisfactorily completed alter
nate service —he will have to
complete that service.”
There are no veterans’
benefits attached to either type
of discharge, but a Pentagon
spokesman said the clemency
discharge would look better on
a job seeker’s record.

while followers ran to the police
car to shake his outstretched
hand.
The county board of educa
tion rejected a four-point
demand by protesters which
included a call for the dismissal
of Schools Superintendent
Kenneth Underwood. The board
also turned down a demand for
the permanent removal of the
textbooks from classroom shel
ves, saying it would stick to the
original agreement worked out
with parents.
That agreement called for the
removal of the texts for a 30-
day period for study by a
special committee.
12 major commodities in the
state would make such a jour
ney enmass.
“Members of Congress need
to know what’s going on out on
the farm,” Reynolds said.
Southern Bell asks PSC
for 531.5 million hike
By WILLIAM COTTERELL
ATLANTA (UPI) — Southern
Bell Telephone Co. asked the
state Public Service Commis
sion (PSC) Wednesday to double
the cost of using a public tele
phone, add a 20-cent charge for
using “directory assistance”
and boost the installation charg
es and monthly rates for home
telephones.
The company is seeking an
$81.5 million rate increase, to
do all that.
“We believe that those neo
ple who use the service should
bear more of the cost,” said
Southern Bell Vice President
Jasper Dorsey, in charge of
the company’s Georgia opera
tions.
“By putting more of the ex
pense on these customers,” Dor
sey told the PSC, “Southern
Bell is taking a step to keep
basic monthly telephone rates
for all customers as low as
possible.”
He said that the cost of using
a public phone for a local call
—lO cents—has not gone up

since 1952, while the cost of a
phone booth has tripled since
then. The company has never
charged for “information,” but
about 85 per cent of the calls
to that service are made by
just 15 per cent of the custom
ers—and almost always, they
want numbers that they could
look up themselves, Dorsey
said.
Under the Southern Bell rate
plan, customers would get three
free calls per month to inform
ation, then pay 20 cents for
I each subsequent inquiry.
The company also asked the
PSC to raise its standard in
stallation charge from S2O to
$47.50, and to add several dol
lars to monthly service rates,
with total amounts varying $B
- in various parts of Georgia.
Jacqueline Lassiter, the pro
gram director of the Georgia
Consumer Services, said poor
people would be hit hardest by
doubling of the pay phone rate
because they use public phones
most often.
She said the company could
save $833,664 by eliminating
