Miller supports
early release
MACON, Ga. (UPI) - Lt.
Gov. Zell Miller has called for
the release of some 600 state
prisoners within 90 days as
“the sensible common sense
approach to reducing crowding
in county prisons.”
Miller made the suggestion

* Sheriff’s Association, as the
! groups ended a three-day
i session.
s Miller’s advocacy of an
; “early release” program came
one day after the GSA said it
i was considering suing the state
i if 1,000 state prisoners are not
i soon removed from county
jails.
Miller said the program
“would make that much more
room for county prisoners,”
adding the program worked
well during the administration
of former Gov. Lester Maddox.
He proposed the Thankgiving
and Christmas holidays for the
release of some 600 inmates.
Miller’s support for “early
release” is similiar to an
endorsement of the program
issued Wednesday by Drv Allen
Ault, head of the state
corrections department.
Miller said the sheriffs’
demand that the state allow
ance to board prisoners be set
at |7.50 per day per prisoner
was a “legitimate idea” but
said “with the present revenue
and tax structure,” it was
improbable that the General
Assembly could pass the
measure next session.
Jaworski
says Nixon,
implied
HARTFORD, Conn. (UPI) —
Richard M. Nixon implied his
guilt in the Watergate coverup
when he accepted a presidential
pardon, says former special
Watergate prosecutor Leon
Jaworski.
Nixon was “tremendously
grateful” for President Ford’s
pardon, the Houston attorney
said Thursday.
“In my own thinking this
certainly implies an admission
of his guilt and I might go a
step further and tell you that I
don’t believe that anyone would
take a pardon under the
circumstances that Mr. Nixon
received his, frame it and hang
it up in his living room for his
friends to see,” Jaworski said.
“He was named as an
unindicted coconspirator,”
Jaworski said. “You don’t
name someone as an unindicted
coconspirator unless he was
part of a conspiracy. So the
grand jury did that and I as
special prosecutor approved
it.”
The paddle that did it
GIBSONVILLE, N.C.—Russell Baker, 16, holds a paddle that Ids third grade teacher gave
him. In December of 1973, he was paddled again in the sixth grade. This incident led to a
U.S. Supreme Court ruleing that upheld corporal punishment in public schools under strict
guidlines. With him is his mother Virginia Baker who brought the case to the court. (UPI)

— A man jailed at Green Cove
Springs on an armed robbery
charge has been identified as a
two-time escaper who had been
serving four life terms for
various convictions in Georgia
prisons.
An FBI fingerprint check
Thursday disclosed the man
listed as Walter James Parker
in the Green Cove Springs jail
was actually Sylvester Martin,
38, of Bainbridge, Ga.
“Parker” had been arrested
by Valdosta, Ga., police Sept.

at Jennings, Fla., three days
earlier. He was turned over to

Green Cove Springs jail be

Jacksonville was overcrowded.
FBI records showed Martin
had escaped twice from
Georgia prison camps. His
latest escape was from Ware
Correctional Institution at Way
cross, on June 4,1974, where he
was serving four life sentences
and other sentences totaling 172
years on charges of robbery,
burglary, kidnaping, robbery by
force and assault to murder.
His first escape, from the
Chatham County prison camp
at Savannah, also led him to
the Jacksonville area, where he
was recaptured on July 18,1962.

In addition to the post office
robbery, Martin also faces
previous charges of bank
robbery and interstate tran

Thomas Stafford, commander
of the Apollo, Vance Brand and
Donald K. Slayton.
“There is no race. You can’t
say it (the Venus landing) puts
one country ahead or another
behind,” Stafford said.
Stafford said the Soviet
landing on Wednesday did not
mean the Russians were ahead
of the United States in a space
race, saying all space explora
tion was a “mutual effort”
between both countries.
Slayton said charges that the
American space program is
receding are unfounded and
added that current plans to

the program a big boost in the

As the five spacemen and
their families stepped off a
Navy plane at Dobbins Air
Force Base, an Air Force band
played a specially composed
“Apollo-Soyuz” march, which
band director Capt. Paul W.
Young said was a combination
of traditional Russian and
American military music.
A crowd of about 400,
including local school children
and the families of Air Force
personnel, was on hand to greet
the tour group of some 40
persons who will spend almost
24 hours here.
Robert Cheek, a Dobbins

cosmonauts in their native

flew into Russia 35 times on Air
