Supreme Court Allows Georgia Legislature to Choose Governor
The Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that Georgia may select its governor by legislative vote after no candidate won a majority in the November election. Justice Black led the majority, reversing a lower court. Arnall’s write-in reduced Maddox and Callaway to a legislative contest with Democrats favored to win under the state’s 142 year old constitution.

Court Upheld Hoffa Sentence In Jury Tampering Case
Supreme Court today upheld the 1964 jury tampering conviction of Teamster President James R. Hoffa despite his claim that an associate acted as a government informer in an earlier trial. The ruling clears the way for Hoffa to be sent to prison on the Nashville jury rigging conviction, with additional penalties pending on related charges in Chicago. The decision notes that Edward Partin, Baton Rouge Teamster official, had access to Hoffa at the Nashville trial and had been a key witness in the Chattanooga case.
