Man acquitted of murder
SAVANNAH, Ga. (UPI) — A Chatham County Superior
Court jury deliberated only briefly Wednesday before
acquitting Clarence Simmons of the murder of a Garden
City housewife.
During the three-day trial, Simmons admitted that he
had been to the home of Mrs. Gladys M. Walker, 40, the
day she died. Police testified that his fingerprints were
found at the home.
But Simmons, 22, testified that Mrs. Walker was still
alive when he left the house.
Mrs. Walker’s body was found in the bedroom of her
home. She had been strangled, and her throat was cut.

ment giving the administrator

tors. Such individuals would be

FISHING - Passed, 208 for
and 101 against, a bill (HR 200)
extending U. S. ocean fishing
jurisdiction from its present 12
miles to 200 miles beyond the U.
S. coastline. The measure was
designed to protect the
domestic fishing industry by
barring foreign fleets from the
zone. Japanese and Soviet fleets
would be particularly harmed
by HR 200.

Ga.), Sam Nunn (D-Ga.) voted

SINAI — Tabled, 68 for and 25
against, an amendment to focus

200 American civilian tech
nicians if fighting erupts.

Nixon considers
broadcast career
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -
Richard Nixon, reportedly con
sidering becoming a broadcast
commentator on international
affairs, says other presidents
had Watergate-style operations
“much worse” than those in his
administration.
Nixon blames his downfaU on
biased liberals in the news
media exaggerating “a stupid
mistake” of the kind that was
tolerated in other presidents,
according to television producer
Wally George.
George said Wednesday he
was invited recently to Nixon’s
San Clemente retreat, where
they discussed the possibility of
Nixon becoming a broadcaster.
Nixon brought up the topic of
Watergate himself, George
said.
“The Watergate thing was
ridiculous. It was nothing like
the press made it out to be,” he
quoted the former president as
saying.
“Sure it was a stupid
mistake. But other presidents
have been involved in things
like this for years, the tapping
of opposition headquarters type
of thing — but with them it was
much worse, because they used
the FBI, but we never did.”
Once he finishes his autobiog
raphy and a series of television
commitments with David Frost,
in six months or so, Nixon said
he would be interested in
becoming a radio or television

commentator on national and
international events, George
said. Nixon is interested “in
any way I can be of help to the
country,” the producer quoted
him as sayings.
George, who writes columns
for four Southern California
newspapers, said he was
invited to San Clemente be
cause Nixon read a column
favorable to him.
“The great majority of news
media are made up of liberals,
and I, of course, being a
conservative, believe in many
things they do not believe in ...
It wasn’t me personally they
disliked, it was what I stood
for,” Nixon said, according to
George.
