WANTED BY THE FBI
JAMES EARL RAY, also known as Eric Starvo Galt,
Harvey Lowmyer, John Willard, James Mcßride,
James Walton, W. C. Herron and James O’Conner.
James Earl Ray, a Missouri prison escapee, sought under the
alias Eric Starvo Galt in connection with the gunshot slaying of
civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is one of the FBl’s
“Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.” FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
ordered the special addition of Ray to the “Top Ten” list to insure
widespread dissemination of Ray’s photograph and description to
speed his location.
Ray has been intensively sought since the murder of Dr. King
on April 4, 1968, as he stood on the balcony of a Memphis, Ten
nessee, motel. An exhaustive FBI fingerprint search, comparing
latent fingerprints uncovered in the Dr. King case against finger
prints of over 53,000 persons on whom wanted notices were posted,
determined that Galt and Ray are identical.
A Federal warrant, Issued at Birmingham, Alabama, on April
17, 1968, charges Ray, under the alias of Galt, with conspiring to
interfere with a Constitutional Right of a citizen. Ray, who
escaped on April 23,1967, from the Missouri State Penitentiary, is
also sought for unlawful flight to avoid confinement for robbery.
His long criminal record also includes convictions for burglary and
forging U.S. Postal Money Orders.
A white American, bom in Alton, Illinois, on March 10, 1928,
Ray is 5' 10" tall, weighs 163 to 174 pounds, has blue eyes and short
brown hair. He has a nervous habit of tugging at an ear lobe and
his left ear protrudes noticeably. Known as a “loner” and
“drifter,” Ray has worked as a baker, laborer and color matcher.
He has taken dancing lessons and completed a course at a school
of bartending.
Consider Ray armed and extremely dangerous. Report any in
formation concerning him to the nearest FBI office.

THE AMERICAN FARMER has been caught in a price
production cost squeeze that has virtually relegated him to
second-class citizenship in the American economy and literally
driven millions of people off the land.
To deny the American farmer his fair share of the national
income is a shame and a disgrace. Agriculture is the nation’s
most important and biggest industry, and the farmer has worked
hard to make America’s food the best buy in the world and to
help make our nation prosperous and secure.
It is a national disgrace that the farmer can multiply pro
duction, increase his efficiency, and feed 200 million Americans
and 160 million others, and still not be guaranteed a just return
for his labor and investments.
In my judgment, this situation demands our attention no
less than the critical social and economic problems of our large
cities. Rural poverty and urban poverty go hand in hand, and
one very often produces the other. Much of the rural poverty
today, and a large part of the poverty that plagues our cities,
can be traced directly to economic pressures that have forced
almost 4 million farms out of business in the past 30 years.
BETWEEN 1950 AND 1967 realized net farm income in
creased nationwide only 13.3 per cent while production expenses
for the same period went up 77.3 per cent.
During this 17 year period, net farm income rose 38 per
cent, but the cost of production jumped 110 per cent.
More recently, farm prices were down 5 per cent last year,
and production climbed about $1 billion.
The American farmers' total net income last year was almost
$2 billion less than 1966 and, although we arc told that this is
25 per cent higher than 1960, the cost of production in the past
7 years rose 31 per cent. This then has been the story. The
farmer has produced more for the benefit of the consumer and
the general well-being of America. In fact, just about everyone
benefits from the productivity and efficiency of the farmer except
the farmer himself.
We need to examine this situation, and insure our farmers
of 100 per cent of their share of the national income—and not
just a fraction of it that has left him lagging far behind other
segments of the American economy.

Game and Fish Commission to
Build 233 Boat Ramps in State
Georgia has a great abun
dance of water suited for fish
ing, boating and other water
sports. With a growing interest
in these sports, it was only
natural that a program should
be initiated to provide access
to as much of this waterway
as possible.
The Georgia Game and Fish
Commission has launched a
long-range program to pro
vide a minimum of one public
access area, or launching
ramp, for every 15 miles of
stream or 1,000 acres of res
ervoir. This program was be
gun two years ago and 28
ramps have been constructed
so far.
Ramps have been construct
ed on the Ogeechee River, O
conee River, Altamaha River,
Etowah River, Oostanaula Riv
er, Flint River, Tugaloo River,
Ocmulgee River, Abercorn
Creek, Lake Chatuge, Nottely
Lake, Lake Hartwell, Lake
Sinclair, and De.meries Creek.
The present goal of the
Game and Fish Commission is
to contruct some 233 ramps a
cross the state. In addition to
the 28 already completed, 15
are planned for construction
in the immediate future and
about 25 sites are being ne
gotiated for.

’Tobacco graders play a very
important role in the tobacco
market which is so vital to the
economy of our Bth Congres
sional District.
In the past several years
there has been a shortage of
these tobacco graders from
Georgia and this has caused a
great deal of concern among
our citizens, tobacco growers,
ind our farm bureaus.
Since coming to Washing
ton last year, I have been
working to encourage more
Georgians to make application
to become tobacco graders.
And, since last year two Geor
gians have been employed and
eight more are considered eli
gible and are on the Civil Ser
vice Register. As soon as
openings become available on
the Register, these 8 will be
tn line for jobs.
f Since tobacco grading is a
government job, a civil ser
vice examination is the first
requirement. Those who pass
the examination are placed on
the Civil Service Register m
order of their grade rating.
Any grade above 70 qualifies
a person to be placed on the
eligible register. Those peo
ple who make the highest
icores get the first jobs.

Your Home Newspaper

Os Your County—
sion works in cooperation
with the county government
in the county in which the
ramps are to be constructed.
The county deeds the land on
which the ramp is located to
the Game and Fish Commis
sion. The county must own or
have a twenty-year lease on
a road to the site and a two
acre parking lot. Where it
can be arranged, sites are of
ten constructed just off state
highways or other roads, elim
inating the extra cost of road
construction.
Location of access area sites
is determined primarily by
surveys showing actual need
in an area that is heavily used
by boaters, or by requests
from counties where a need is
evident.
Georgia contains 3,000 miles
of major warm water streams.
When this project is complet
ed, 233 or more ramps will
have been constructed. The
program was planned as a
four-year project.
The launching ramps are
fabricated by pouring a con
crete base, then attaching pre
fabricated concrete logs which
extend out into the water as
far as necessary for adequate
boat launching. Ramp fabrica
tion usually requires about
five days work for a crew
of five to seven men.
