Rep. Stuckey Believes
Conservatism On Rise
WASHINGTON (PRN) -
Wide-ranging week-end
activities sweeping into
Georgia have convinced
Congressman W.S. (Bill)
Stuckey, Jr. of the Eighth
District that safe, sound and
sensible conservatism is “still
on the upswing.”
During the week the
Congressman is heavily
involved in the year-end of
House business, voting
consistently and steering
certain legislation as the
lawmakers try for
adjournment by December 17.
But on week-ends he is in
heavy demand as a speaker
and participant on schedules
that run almost on the hour
every hour.
“I am talking about the
kind of conservatism that is
based on promoting individual
State Senator Roscoe Dean,
Jr., of Jesup, said today that
he will introduce several
pieces of legislation at the
next session of the Georgia
Legislation as the result of his
arrest and trial for driving un
der the influence last April.
All of the bills the senator
plans to introduce would have
state-wide effect. The bills
would effect those facing
grand jury indictments; select
ion of grand jurors and trial
jurors and witnesses to intox
meter texts.
The Sixth District Senator
also plans to introduce a bill
thatwould require all atate or
local governing authorities,
bureaus, agencies or commiss
ions to hold all meetings open
to the public and to keep
minutes at such meetings.

Stuckey said.
Only this week the
Georgian was once again
chosen as one of 168
Congressmen chosen by the
Americans for Constitutional
Action for its Distinguished
Service Award based on their
cumulative and continuing
voting records. Stuckey was
one of 33 House Democrats to
receive the award.

does it commit him to support

Irvin To Oppose Seed,
Tobacco Board Changes
ATLANTA (PRN)
Commissioner of Agriculture
Tommy Irvin says Governor
Carter’s reorganization
proposals that would abolish
the Georgia Tobacco Advisory
Committee and the Georgia
Seed Advisory Committee
would not be in the best
interest of the Georgia farmer.
Irvin, who earlier
announced he would veto
both proposals, said the
Tobacco Advisory Committee
which surveys crop conditions
in the state and recommends
an opening date for tobacco
markets based on crop
conditions, provides the only
practical approach to the
orderly marketing of
flue-cured tobacco in Georgia.
“Without this committee,
the opening date for Georgia
tobacco markets would
probably be determined by
Carolina tobacco warehouse
men regardless of Georgia crop
conditions and a return to this
old, outdated system of
opening tobacco markets
would create chaos
throughout the tobacco
industry,” Irvin said.
The Commissioner pointed
out that the Seed Advisory
Committee is made up of
qualified representatives from
within the seed industry,
including institutions of
learning and research as well as
seed organizations, and its
and give all Georgians equal
protection and justice from a
law officer or court official
who might attempt to bring
false charges," Dean said.
The first of Dean's bills
would amend the Uniform Act
Regulating Traffic on High
ways so as to provide that any
person required or requested
to submit to a chemical breath
analysis shall have the right
to have a witness present prior
to and during the administra
tion and analysis of the test;
the right to contact a witness
prior to the test;and tore

members serve in both a
technical and advisory
capacity to the Commissioner
and the department in
determining the need for
quality agricultural seed as
well as the enforcement of
state seed laws.
“Quality seed represents the
basic necessity for all our
agricultural crops,” Irvin said,
“and the outstanding service
rendered by this committee in
the past testifies to a
continuing need for such
service.”
Irvin pointed out that this
past spring Georgia faced a
crisis in securing enough corn
seed resistant to the southern
corn blight which so
devastated the 1970 corn
crop.
“Because of the shortage of
blight resistant seed, some
folks wanted us to allow the
sale of most any kind of com
seed but this committee,
backed up by research and
knowledge, recommended that
only blight resistant corn seed
be sold in Georgia,” Irvin
continued. “We followed this
advice and Georgia produced
an outstanding com crop
while seed we would not allow
sold in Georgia was dumped
on some other states that were
less restrictive.”
The twelve member state
Tobacco Advisory Committee
is made up of the president of
the Georgia Farm Bureau, a
ness.
In a bill relating to indict
ments, presentmentsand acc
usations in general, Dean will
seek to provide that any per
sonwho is accused of a crime
before a grand jury shall have
the right to appear himself
before the grand jury before a
bill of indictment is returned
against him in any case.
Dean said his bill regarding
the selection of grand jury and
trial jury members would re
quire that the names of all
voters be placed in the jury
box, rather than the p>resent
procedure of having jury com
missioners place only several
hundred names in the jury box
at one time. He said this
would insure that all citizens
would be given a chance to

up of two members from the
Georgia Seedmen’s

and Attorney General, who
serve as ex-officio members
and one member from each of

Constitution would provide
that only one jury box for each
county would be allowed and
that the names of all jurors,
both grand jurors and traverse
jurors, for all courts within
the county shall be drawn from
one jury box.
Senator Dean made the
following statement when a
mistrial was decided in his
