Page 14 — Griffin Daily News Thursday, June 16,1977 People By The Associated Press Prince Charles LONDON (AP) — Prince Charles acted as an im promptu mediator for a group of black pickets com plaining about police brutality, but got little thanks from the blacks for his efforts. The incident Wednesday during Charles’ visit to a community center arose when he encountered a chanting crowd waving placards over the recent arrest of 24 black youths on mugging charges. Kim Gordon, the 21-year-old leader of the protest, told Charles that black youths in the area faced constant police harassment. But he conceded they had not discussed the complaint with police officials. “I am sure there is some truth on both sides, but couldn’t you come together and discuss it?" asked the 28- year-old prince. “You cannot go around like this.” Gordon, whose parents are from Ghana and who is an official of the Socialist Workers’ Party, later described Charles as "naive."

Dr. Richards NEW YORK (AP) — Transsexual Renee Richards plans to quit playing professional tennis and return to Newport Beach, Calif., to resume practicing eye surgery, says the New York Post. The 42-year-old Dr. Richards, formerly Dr. Richard Raskind, recently signed with the Cleveland-Pittsburgh Nets of World Team Tennis. But the Post said Wednesday that she has told friends she has decided to quit after failing another sex test.

(AP) — Authorities hope that three fingerprints and a footprint will help identify the person who killed three Girl Scouts as they slept in a tent. Two of the girls were beaten to death in their sleeping bags and one was strangled. All were sexually molested.

Okefenokee water level dropping WAYCROSS, Ga. (AP) - If the drought plaguing Georgia continues into the fall, large fires — almost impossible to stop — could break out in the Okefenokee Swamp, a federal official says.

J Officials also theorize that the murderer may have burgled a counselors’ tent and a nearby farmhouse. One of the four counselors who slept in the tent reported Monday that her purse was stolen. In addition, police found a pair of eyeglasses and a glasses case belonging to a counselor along the path where the bodies were dragged in their blood soaked sleeping bags. Dist. Atty. Sid Wise said the four counselors had been ques tioned extensively. The farm- minded some park officials of fires in 1954 and 1955 that scorched 90 per cent of the swamp. Periodic fires are “what keeps a swamp a swamp,” Taylor said Wednesday in an interview. But, he said, the Okefenokee’s water level “is very low, I’m house was padlocked, and au thorities refused to discuss what, if anything, they found. Investigators found several large footprints from tennis shoes too large to belong to the girls in the blood-spattered tent, but they have had difficulty checking the prints because the killer had tried to mop up the blood with a cloth. They have made a cast of an other footprint found on the path.

Okefenokee—the Seminole Ten-year-old Doris Denise Milner, also of Tulsa, was to be buried today. Michelle Guse, 9, of Broken Arrow, will be buried Friday. The girls’ bodies were found Monday at the first dawn of what was to have been a two week campout at Camp Scott, a 49-year-old, 610-acre site owned by the Magic Empire Girl Scout Council based in Tulsa. The camp is in a heavily wooded area on the fringe of the Cookson Hills of eastern Oklahoma, about 45 miles from Tulsa. Indian word for “land of the trembling earth”—contains more than 400,000 acres, mostly in southeast Georgia. The swamp is divided into two main parts—a park and the wildlife refuge. Thousands of persons visit the park each year, but visitors to the refuge must not leave lasting changes.
