Governor Maddox and the male
members of his staff went fish
ing last Friday in the North
Georgia mountains, and if the
affair was like the one last year,
of which we saw pictures, the
boys brought back a lot of fish.
Os course, they stood on the
highway and dropped their
hooks to the stream below where
(the female office gals tell
jokingly) the Rangers fastened
' the fish to the hooks. At any rate,
we presume the day was one of
needed relaxation.

HUMAN INTEREST STORY —
Last Wednesday on Little Peo
ples Day at the Governor’s of
fice, a little boy about 11 years
old stood in line to shake hands
with Maddox. When he got to
him, he said: “I sure like the
way you ride a bicycle, Mr. Guv
ner”. Lester replied: "Thanks,
son, and how do you ride?” . . .
"Sorry, sir”, was the answer,
“I don’t have a bike”.
So, Maddox called Aide J. L.
Allen and told him to get the
kid a bicycle at once. Mr. Al
len performed nobly and the bi
cycle was brought in Thursday,
put together, and was waiting for
the youth when he came from
school, after running all the way
to the Capitol, he was so excited.
Said he was going to sleep with
it every night.
This is just one more exampk
of Maddox's solicitude toward
. deprived children. Atlanta pa
pers please note.

several new faces in the State

and others may get beat. In ad
dition to the new ones we have
reported before, we hear that:
Former Senator Willis Conger, of
Bainbridge, may oppose Floor
Leader Julian Webb; Sen. May
lon London, of Cleveland, will
run again, but will have oppo
sition from Repr. Fulton Lovell;
Kenneth Kilpatrick, of Jones
boro, will not ask for his Senate
seat again, and it is likely to be
sought by Repr. Lamar North
cutt, of College Park; veteran
Senator Battle Hall, of Rome,
may be opposed by insurance
man Sam Doss.

A conference committee of the
U. S. Congress has agreed to
postpone the freeze on welfare
payments to certain classes of
mothers until July 1, 1969, but
Bill Burson, Director of the
Georgia State Dept, of Family
and Children’s Services, says
that in spite of this postpon
ment he won’t drop his suit
against the U. S. Dept, of Health,
Education and Welfare.
******
For the record, we resent
deeply the slurs against former
Governor Marvin Griffin made
last week on television by Flor
ida Gov. Claude Kirk, and we
would think that practically all
Georgians resent it. We hope
Marvin sues the pants off Kirk.
******
Talk continues to float around
Jie Capitol about former gov
ernor Carl Sanders being on the
ticket with Hubert Humphrey in
•he presidential election this
year, and we haven’t found a
person who wouldn’t be happy to
see it. If Humphrey and John
son are half as politically smart
as we think they are, they’ll
jump at the chance to get San
ders on the ballot. It likely
would be the difference between
victory or defeat.
Speaking of the Humphrey
campaign, the Vice - President
needs a coordinator of his cam
paign very badly in Georgia. To
do this job, and do it extremely
well, we suggest Hubert’s old
friend, Repr. Mac Barber, of
Commerce. Mac is a veteran pol
itician, who js on good terms
with all political factions in the
state, and has the common sense
judgment to keep the campaign
on the right track in Georgia.
We would hope Democratic lead
ers here mention the idea to
Humphrey.
Georgia National Guardsmen l
who were called out for alert at'-,
ter the death of Martin Luther;
King haven’t been paid yet forj
the two days service, and, ac
cording to Guard headquarters,
may have to wait anotner two
months. Seems that pay periods
are set up on a tnree month ba-,
sis. Maybe it can’t be helped,
but some of the men, who were
docked two days pay at their
regular jobs, are needing the
money.

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 ovei- 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, born 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.
