CLAY APPEALS 5-YEAR TERM Con 168 Out Fighting BY DARRELL MACK HOUSTON - Former heavy weight champion Cassius Clay, contending he is a Black Mus lim minister and not subject to the draft, was found guilty in Federal Court Tuesday of a voiding military service and re ceived the maximum sentence five years in prison and a SiO.OOO fine. Clay stood rigid and taller than his three lawyers, staring straight ahead while an all white Jury announced its verdict of guilty after some 20 minutes deliberation and then again min - f utes later while U. S. Disst. S Judge Joe- Ingraham pronounced the sentence. "It’s just what 1 thought,*’ Clay said of the verdict. "It hears out the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the mighty Allah.' Clay's lawyers said they will appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court if need be. Ciay had once said a person could not get justice in a white man’s courts. Did he expect to get the maximum he was asked. '*Oh, yes, I thought 1 would,” the deposed champion said. Clay said be would stay in Houston a few days, free on bond and then go to San An tonio, Tex., or Hawaii or Puer to Rico. He did not expand on those travel plans. There normally would have been a pre-sentence by the judge, but Clay asked that this be waived. "I’d appreciate it if the court i will do it now, give me my 1 sentence now, instead of wait ing and stalling for time,” Clay said. „ To Assist Beginners In Area Nine schools, in Wake Coun ty began Head Start programs Monday, while six began in Ra leigh ; riday, The city pro gram will end August 11, while the county program will end on August 14.
