factors in Atlanta’s soaring
murder rate, the head of the
Georgia prison system said
Tuesday.
Dr. Allen Ault, commissioner
of the Offender Rehabilitation
Division, told a joint meeting of
legislative penal institution
committees he has “inter
viewed several murderers” and
found very few like the three
men convicted of murdering six
members of the Ned Alday
family in Donalsonville.
“A large percentage of our
murderers in the prison system
are not the Alday-killers type,
but the ghetto-domestic argu
ment murder type,” he said.
“Ready access to a handgun
is a big factor in those.”
In Tokyo, Ault said, only a
few dozen persons are mur
dered each year, compared to
300 to 400 in Atlanta and other
major American cities.
When asked why the Japa
nese muder rate is so much
lower, Ault attributed the
difference to restrictive gun
laws and a strong family
Starvation threatens ravaged Honduras
By TIM BERRY
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (UPI) — Rescue workers
appealed for stepped-up food shipments today to avert
mass starvation in hurricane-stricken Honduras and said
thousands of flood victims could die of hunger in 48 hours.
An international rescue effort poured tons of supplies
into the country, but rescue workers reported widespread
looting and said villagers isolated by the storm are
fighting each other for the scarce food.
Col. Carlos Rene Pineda, a spokesman for the National
Emergency Committee, said Honduras “desperately”
needs more helicopters to save thousands of refugees still
stranded by the flood.
“We don’t know how many people are still isolated
Cub night
success
Scout officials today called
the Cub enlistment program at
elementary schools last night a
big success.
A total of 221 new Cub Scout
members were signed up during
the one night drive. A total of 49
new Cub Pack leaders were
enlisted, too.
Two new packs were organiz
ed. They will be at Atkinson and
East Griffin elementary
schools.

organization today praised the
work of some 30 adult volun
teers who worked during the
enlistment program last night.

“The only thing I could
venture a guess to is that their
family make-up is very differ

here in the United States, the
Jewish family make-up is
closer than others. We only
have one or two Jewish people
in the prison system.”
On another topic, Ault said
the prison system’s success in
transferring low-risk inmates to
minimum security, community
based facilities is creating
some problems for the rest of

“With the type of inmates

well, we’re being left with the

and we’re going to need more

without food and water," he said. “But we believe there
are many thousands, perhaps tens of thousands. If we
don’t reach them in 48 hours with food they are going to
die of hunger.”
The committee said between 7,000 and 8,000 persons
died in Hurricane Fifi’s floods last Thursday and another
300,000 to 350,000 were left homeless in the raging storm
that wrecked about one-third of the nation’s economy.
Col. Eduardo Andino, head of the civil defense
committee, reported problems in getting food to some
refugees. “We were trying to drop food from the air, but
we can’t because they are fighting for it on the ground,”
he said.
Andino complained that the United States sent “aircraft
carriers loaded with helicopters” when a hurricane hit

Court rates film porno
ATLANTA (UPI) - The
Georgia Supreme Court, having
seen “The Devil in Miss
Jones,” feels that the film is
“rank, hardcore, pornography,”
undeserving of the First
Amendment’s protection of free
speech and artistic expression.
“The majority of the scenes
depict sexual activity and they
appear to exist solely for their
own lewd and lascivious pur
pose, and add no other
discernible meaning to the
film,” the high court said in a
unanimous ruling Tuesday.
“Each member of this court
concludes from viewing the
film that it is rank, hardcore,
pornography,” wrote Justice G.
Conley Ingram.
A Fulton County Superior
Court jury reached the same
conclusion earlier this year,
convicting of three men for
exhibiting “Miss Jones” twice
at a downtown theater.
The defendants, fined SI,OOO
and given a year in jail,
appealed on several grounds,
including an assault on the
pomogrphy statute itself.
“It is our view that an
otherwise obscene film cannot
be constitutionally salvaged by

adding to it a vague moral
which is superimposed on the
predominant theme of the film,
which is an appeal to a prurient
interest in sex,” wrote Ingram.
“Miss Jones,” filmed by the
producers of “Deep Throat,”
was seized at a downtown
Atlanta theater last Oct. 23.
The court said a “commitment
hearing” was held Nov. 2, at
which it was ruled that there
was probable cause to think a

“This country will be in a state of emergency for a

The newspaper El Cronista in Tegucigalpa said
American helicopter pilots have spotted hundreds more
bodies and around 80,000 persons isolated and starving

Urraco in floodhit northern Honduras.
A government source confirmed that “a lot of these

The same defendants were
subsequently arrested a second
