Broker says he
did not intend
to violate law
ATLANTA (UPI) — A broker
in an alleged illegal arms
transaction testified Monday
that he had no intention of
violating federal law when he
took part in negotiations in a
hotel room to buy 2,000
machine guns.
Howard Emmett Herndon
denied at his trial in federal
court here that there was any
attempt to evade strict govern
ment regulations on the sale of
weapons.
Herndon, 39, and Mitchell
Werßell IV, son of a wealthy
Cobb County arms dealer, are

charged in the case which
began last week before a 12-
member jury.
Both could be sentenced to a
maximum 35 years in prison if
found guilty.
Herndon said that when he
first met with Werßell to
discuss the deal, Werßell made
it clear that the only way to
buy the arms was through an
authorized gun dealer such as
the Werßells.
Federal laws state that arms
transactions must be licensed,
and Herndon said he was told
by Werßell that three docu
ments were required on each of
the 2,000 weapons.
The defendant was asked
about a taped phone conversa
tion played in court last week
which the government contend
ed showed intent to evade the
law.
Herndon replied that “his
strategy was to agree to what
he (the reputed buyer) wanted
and then try to peel it back
later.” He said he was
interested only in “keeping the
deal alive.”
Quakes

Japan
TOKYO (UPI) - Five more
earthquakes jolted southern
Japan today, but the govern
ment’s Meteorological Agency
said they were aftershocks of
Monday’s tremor, the strongest
since the end of World War 11,
and caused no damage or
injuries.
The agency said two of the
latest tremors were strong
enough to be felt by residents
in the southern part of the
nation.
The center of the tremors
was located in Oita province on
Kyushu main island and regis
tered one on the Japanese scale
of seven, the agency said.
A sharp earthquake with a
magnitude of 6.4, the strongest
recorded in Japan’ inland since
1945, rocked extensive areas in
southern Japan Monday, injur
ing eight persons and causing
damage to property.
Violence
continues
in Atlanta
ATLANTA (UPI) - One man
was murdered in his apartment
Monday night and a conveni
ence store attendant was
gunned down in a robbery to
continue a spate of violent
death which began over the
weekend.
At least 11 persons have been
killed by bullet, knife or other
means in the Atlanta area
during the past three days.
A 33-year-old man, whose
identification was withheld
pending notification of next of
kin, was fatally wounded in a
10th Street apartment. Police,
called by neighbors who heard
gunfire, said the man was shot
five or six times and died as
they waited for an ambulance
to arrive.
Officers, who were searching
for two men seen fleeing the
area, said the victim was hit by
bullets in the chest, back and
buttocks. They said the killers
didn’t take a wallet which
contained SIBO,
Ronald Keith Schoolcraft, 27,
of Doraville, was slain Monday
at a convenience store and his
body found shortly before
midnight by a customer.

Dr. Lamb
Financial, medical
advice required
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I am 78
and seem to be in normal
health. I think that with a little
limbering up I might even be
able to play baseball. I was a
catcher.
Six years ago I had
pneumonia, and the Xray show
ed what the doctor described as
a tortuous and sclerotic aorta.
In the past four years I have
lost heavily in the stock
market, and I am thinking of
doing some truck farming to
improve my financial condi
tion. It would require some
work, sometimes a good bit on
my part. I also have a wife to
consider.
DEAR READER — It sounds
to me like you need two things,
a good medical consultation and
a good financial consultation.
The tortuous sclerotic aorta
means that the main big artery
that carries blood from your
heart to all the body except the
lungs has gradually hardened.
With the loss of elasticity it
literally elongates and can be
seen on a standard chest Xray,
particularly from a side view
Many people in your age group
have this. It may not cause any
problem.
Even so I think you should
have another checkup with par
ticular attention to whether you
are physically up to the amount
of heavy physical labor you
may be anticipating. The status
of your heart, how well you do
during exertion and your blood
pressure are all important in
making the decision.
Then I would suggest you see
your banker and try to get some
financial advice from the in
vestment and trust department
of a fairly large bank. You may
not be as bad off as you think.
Stocks that lose value
sometimes regain their value if
held a reasonable length of
time. Get an expert to help you
with this area. Who knows, you
may not really need to get into
the truck farming business
DEAR DR.LAMB - Each
afternoon after lunch a group of
fellow employes toss around a
baseball, football or engage in
fairly vigorous exercise. I
maintain it is better for their
health if they rested quietly
after a meal, because the heart
is subject to an additional
workload from digestion.
They maintain that exercise
aids the digestive process, and
exercise of a vigorous nature
after meals is a good
procedure. Who is right?
DEAR READER - I am all
for proper exercise. Light exer
cise after a meal won’t hurt any
healthy person. If an individual
has heart disease and is subject
to recurrent short heart pains,
angina, he may find that they
are more apt to occur with ex
ertion after a meal than with
the same amount of exertion
before a meal.
So it is a matter of degree. If
your fellow workers are pretty
healthy and used to exercise
then light or moderate exercise
after a meal may actually be
good for them.. If they try
vigorous exercise they may be
overdoing it. When possible I
think a person should wait
about two hours after a heavy
meal before reasonably
vigorous exercise. A light meal
may not have much influence
on a normal person’s ability to
exercise safely.

South Vietnam trying
to form government
SAIGON (UPI) - With
President Nguyen Van Thieu
out of the picture, South
Vietnamese political and mili
tary leaders worked frantically
today to set up a new
government that could negoti
ate an end to the war. But the
Communists were issuing tough
statements.
Nhan Dan, the official news
paper of the North Vietnamese
Communist party, said in a
front page editorial today that
new South Vietnamese Presi
dent Tran Van Huong is no
improvement over Thieu, who
resigned Monday with charges
the United States had betrayed
Saigon.
“Thieu and Huong differ in
nothing... the former is a
Fascist militarist and the latter
is a reactionary civilian traitor.
Both are anti-Communist and
have been opposing the home
land and the people by
stubbornly continuing the war,”
the newspaper said. The
editorial was broadcast by
Hanoi radio and monitored in
Saigon.
The Viet Cong delegation in
Paris said Monday that the
Thieu resignation did not
automatically mean peace talks

were possible. It said the
United States must first with
draw all of its personnel from
South Vietnam and that all
members of the Thieu “clique”
should go too.
Radio Hanoi and Nhan Dan
also zeroed in on the United
States. They accused the United
States of trying to use the
evacuation of Americans as an
excuse for bringing troops back
into Vietnam and warned of
further U.S. defeats.
With the 72-year-old Huong
considered physically unable to
fulfill the presidential duties,
there was more and more
speculation that he would be
suceeded by former Foreign
Minister Tran Van Lam, a
political moderate now serving
as president of the Senate.
Sources close to the Viet
Cong have said in the past the
Communists likely would agree
to negotiations with Lam,
despite his close identification
with Thieu.
Political sources said U.S.
Ambassador Graham Martin
was acting as a go-between in
discussions about a new govern
ment and that he was talking to
many potential leaders, most
notably defense minister Tran
Van Don.
