Atlanta Failing
To Solve Hippy
Problem - Lester
Despite a widely publicized
program to clean up Atlanta’s
Hippie-infested Tenth Street
area and bring crime and vio
lence under control, “no such
clean-up is taking place,” Gov.
Lester G. Maddox declared.
“We all read of the all-out
effort to clean up this section
of our city,” the governor told
the Atlanta Chapter of the
American Society of Industrial
Security. “Additional law en
forcement officers were
brought in, and area residents
and businessmen were encour
aged and given new hope by
these moves.
"But police and merchants
alike will tell you that no such
clean-up is taking place today.
The number of law enforce
ment officers has been cut
back Sometimes there are as
few as three or four policemen
in the entire area, and even
those are forbidden to police.
“The business people and
the property owners have been
almost totally ignored, and the
police officers have been held
back. Just as in other parts of
the city, for fear of offending
some of the violators. And the
violations continue.”
Gov. Maddox asserted that
there are other major metro
politan areas of the country
where militants completely
disregard the law, and where
top officials have all but com
pletely lost control because of
their failure to deal with crim
inals as they should.
“In America today, those in
law enforcement and related
fields have not received the
backing they need and de
serve," he said. ‘ln decision
after decision, the U. S. Su
preme Court has placed em
phasis on protecting and de
fending criminals, anarchists,
murderers, rapists, Communist
and traitors at the expense of
the peaceful, productive, law
abiding citizens.”
Contending that too much
emphasis has been placed on
protecting the rights of crim
inals rather than the rights of
their victims, and the rights of
decent, law-abiding citizens
and police and security offi
cers, Maddox said:
“But many applaud the rad
ical changes which have been
brought about. The Supreme
Court, many in the Justice De
partment and HEW. some
members of Congress, leftists,
and many who have been
duped by the Communist cry
of ‘police brutality,’ are say
ing that these changes only
represent a proper interpreta
tion of the Constituion.
“Phooey! These decisions
have ignored the Constitution.

Missing Out On
Medical Care
Many veterans are missing
out on a very beneficial medi
cal care program. Georgia Vet
erans Service Director Pete
Wheeler said, “There are hun
■ dreds of veterans in the state
who are not taking advantage
of the Veterans Administra
tion’s program of “hometown
out-patient care.’ ”
Under the program, veter
: ans may be treated by their
own private physicians for in
juries, disabilities or disease
incurred while in service. Pay
ment for such treatment is
made directly to the doctors
by Veterans Administration.
The VA also will provide for
any medications which a doc
tor may prescribe for the treat
ment of a veteran’s service
connected disability.
“It should be remembered,”
said Wheeler, “that the veteran
has to apply for treatment un
der the “hometown outpatient
care program’ and that the
treatment is provided only for
disabilities incurred while in
service.”
Eligible veterans may apply
through any office of the
Georgia Department of Veter
ans Service.

American People Want Facts On
Campus Revolt Gov. Maddox Says
■ Gov. Lester G. Maddox
doesn’t think much of Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon’s new
ly-formed Commission on
Campus Unrest.
Voicing what he called “my
strenuous objection to the
wasting of the taxpayers’
i money on another presiden
i tial whitewash commission,”
। the governor in a formal state
: ment declared:
“The so-called ‘Commission
on Campus Unrest’ represents
an insult to the intelligence of
1 the American people, and I
I cannot imagine any self-re
j specting person consenting to
serve in such a farcical capac
i ity when the so-called ‘find
i ings’ of the last several presi
dential commissions are a mat
ter of public record and a sub
ject of public ridicule.”
Pointing out that Vice Presi-
I dent Spiro Agnew has called
i for the resignation of one
i member of the new commiss
ion, Gov. Maddox asserted:
“I think that is a step in the !
right direction, but it is ex- |
actly eight steps short of being i
satisfactory to me. It is my ;
; opinion that all members of '
। the commission should resign j
j and recommend to the Presi- j
i dent that the job of investiga- ।
I ting the causes of what he
I euphemistically calls “campus
j unrest” be assigned to the I
| highly competent and profess- ;
I ional FBI.
“If our government wants to !
I throw away hundreds of thous- ;
I ands of dollars in salaries and -
j expenses to get the opinions of
' a few lawyers, college profes
j sors and students, I would sug
! gest that a simple postcard poll
' be taken, using the mailing
j lists of the SDS and ACLU, -
! and that the money saved be i
used to give postal employees i
a salary increase.”

files are full of supporting evi
dence, that this country is in
the grips of a well-organized
conspiracy to overthrow the
U, S. Government, and that
takeover of the college cam
puses by anarchists, Commun
ist revolutionaries and their
sympathizers is just one part
of the overall plan to destroy
America,” he said.
“The American people do not
want more excuses for anar
chy— they want facts. The
American people do not want
more apologies to the enemies
of our country—they want law
and order.
“The American people do not
want to finance another white
wash commission — they want,
the Marxists professors and
lawless students removed form
our college campuses, and re
moved now.”
“In my opinion,” Gov. Mad
dox concluded, “the President’s
duty should be clear. He is ob
ligated to expose the aims and
1 the membership of the conspir-
I acy which is wrecking Amer

I take whatever measures are
