Governor Lester G. Maddox, holding a roll of papers in his hand, tells a news conference at the Capitol this morning that reports of organized crime in Atlanta are not new and that Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. knew of the situation. The governor said, "I believe if our public officials, if our mayors and our police chiefs wanted to clean it up, they could."
