THE ATTORNEY GENERAL recently told a Senate subcom
mittee that the Justice Department no longer considers itself
bound bv the Miranda decision of the Supreme Court. This ruling
required law enforcement officers to issue certain warnings 1o
criminal suspects before any confessions. even voluntary ones,
could be considered valid and admissabie as evidence,
In effect, the Attorney General was saying that although
officers will be instructed to continue to give forewarnings, some
confessions will still be considered as admissable evidence even
if part of the warning has been omitted.
This could very well set up a new Supreme Court test of the
Miranda decision, and it is conceivable that the ruling could be
overturned or at least modified. The original decision came in a
five-four vote, and two justices who voted with the majority are
no longer serving with the Supreme Court. The Court could
decide now that the Mirandua decision went too far in an attempt
to protect individual rights, and wound up protecting hardened
criminals instead by allowing them to go free on legal tech
nicalities.
THOSE WHO CLAIM the Justice Department is tiying to
establish a “police state” have a very weak case indeed, Naturally
the constitutional rights of the accused must be protected. I am
confident the courts will continue to do so. But at the same time.
we ought to give more attention to protecting the great ma
jority of law-abiding citizens and stop coddling criminals. whether
they be college rioters or members of the Mafia.
OUR POLICE ARE, and will always continue to be. under
proper controls, But in a nation already saturated with crime and
criminals, we must take the handcuffs off law enforcement oflicers
and put them where they belong——on lawbreakers,
The recent decision by the Attorney General is a step in the
right direction. It does not turn back the clock. or open the
door to forced confessions. It merely attempts to restore some
perspective to proper law enforcement, It is my hope that the
Supreme Court will appreciate the wisdom and justice of this
move,

Patrol Predicts
36 Road Deaths
Over Labor Day
ATLANTA, (GPS)—A mas
sive traffic enforcement opera
tion—similar to the one staged
during the past Fourth of July
holiday week-end — will be car
ried out by the Georgia State
Patrol over the long Labor Day
week-end.
In announcing plans to cepe
with the heavy traffic on Geor
gia's highways during the ac
tion-packed, summer-ending
holiday week-end, Col. R. H.
Burson, director of the Georgia
Department of Public Safety,
warned motorists that this will
be a ‘“no-holds-barred” crack
down on traffic lawbreakers.
State troopers have strict ord
ers to “get tough” if need be.
The Labor Day holiday period
officially begins at 6 p.m. Fri
day, Aug. 29, and continues to
midnight Monday, Sept. 1— a
total of 78 hours.
Despite careful safety cam
paign planning and an all-out
effort by patrolmen through
out the enforcement to maintain
safety on the roads, indications
are that tragedy will strike —
and strike hard.
For example, after studying
past holiday experiences and
present trends in the traffic
arena, the patrol predicts that
at least 36 persons will be kill
ed and 360 others injured in 1,-
128 accidents during the long
week-end.
(Last year during Labor
Day’s 78-hour holiday period 32
persons lost their lives—an all
time record for that particular
holiday week-end—and 390 oth
ers were injured in a total of
764 accidents.)
In an effort to turn the tide,
as many as 1,000 patroimen,
GBI agents, license examiners,
radio operators and agents from
other state enforcement agen
cies will be used in the gigantic
safety drive. In addition to reg
ular patrol cars, unmarked cars,
airplane spotters and the speci
al roving “tactical squads” will
be utilized in rounding up traf
fic violators, Col. Burson said.
“On top of that,” the safety
director said, “we’ll have 68
Vascar units in operation, 25
more than we had during the
Fourth of July enforcement
campaign.” (Vascar is a minia
ture, cigar box-sized speed-tim
ar device placed underneath the
patrol car dashboard. It is rep
utedly a foolproof instrument
when it comes to clocking
speeders going in all direc
tions.)
ol Ruvrsen. It Col L. G
Bell, and Maj. Porter Weaver,
the patrol's commanding officer
and chief strategist in mapping
the enforcement drive, will di
rect the huge operation from
strategic points throughout the
state.
Road checks will be made at
odd hours at unannounced
places all over Georgia on a 24-
hour basis, it was pointed out.
Visiting Mr. and Mrs. W. F.
Quattltebaum over the week
end were Mr. and Mrs. Boyd
Brown, Mrs. Henry McNeal and
Mrs. A. B. Knuckles of Gaines
ville, Georgia.

Entrance to the “Wren's Nest,” note of Joel Chandler Harris,
famed author of the Uncle Remus’ stories, in Atlanta, Georgia.
(PRN)

ATLANTA, Ga. (PRN)
Thousands of Americans,
particularly older generations,
have chuckled over the antics
of the animal characters in the
Uncle Remus stories, while
others have met the sly fox
and clever rabbit via cartoon
strips. But only a few of the
thousands who have enjoyed
the Uncle Remus’ tales have
any knowledge of their
author.
However, a visit to the
Wren's Nest, Harris' last home
while working on the Atlanta
Constitution, wunveils
interesting glimpses of the
famous author.
Wandering through the
Victoria-style house with its
large, heavily wood-paneled
rooms, Uncle Remus and his
characters seem to come alive.
In the library is the round
table where Harris wrote many
of his famous stories with
paper and pencil. You also see
photos of the author with
famous personages including
President Theodore Roosevelt,
who specially asked to meel
the painfully shy author. The
publisher of the Atlanta
Constitution appointed several
friends to escort Hams to the
train station and instructed
them (o “see that he is there if
you have to hogtie him”
Even with the escort, Harris

attempted to duck out on the
President.
Harris purchased the house
in 1880, then on the outskirts
of Atlanta, calling it
“Snap-Bean Farm'. However,
when a wren built her nest in
the mailbox, he changed the
‘name to Wren’s Nest. His rise
to literary fame began in
1876, when short of material
for his daily columa he wrote
one of the Brler Rabbit and
Bi'er Fox tales he'd heard as a
boy rom Uncle George, and
old slave.
‘The column brought a
flood of letters asking for
more of the delightful yarns,
and Harris suddenly was
launched on his new career.
For the following fifteen
years, “‘Uncle Remus” told
one story after another as
newspapers from coast to
coast printed them. In 1880,
Harris was persuaded o
publish *“Uncle Remus: His
Songs and Sayings”’, and his
fame as an author was
established. Other books
followed.
The Uncle Remus stories
were printed in at least 27
different languages. The most
popular story, ‘‘The
Woaderful Tar Baby”, was
included in Walt Disney’s
movie “Song of the South”
which was translated into
eleven languages including
Hindustani and Arabic.
During the tour of the
house and grounds -- the
latter containing a cabin such
as Harris knew during his
boyhood on a pre-Civil War
plantation - you also visit the
dining room which brings you
back mary a nostalgic
memory to old timers. You
see his first floor bedroom
with his rocking chair, wher®
he sat and dreamed of his
‘“‘critters’ and his little
old-fashioned typewriter and
his hat and umbrella. Harris
always wore a black felt hat
which often as not he refused
to remove except at dinner.
The Wren's Nest is open
daily. For an intimate glimpse
