nam veteran, who claimed the
sights and sounds of his auto-
factory job triggered decade-old
memories of combat, was found
innocent by reason of insanity in
the attempted slaying of his
boss.
A jury deliberated for two
days before returning the ver
dict Tuesday in the trial of Jearl
Wood, 31, who was described by
defense psychiatrists as a victim
of delayed stress — unable to
forget the horrors of the Viet
nam War and not responsible
for his actions.
“The most important thing
that came out of the trial is the
exposure of a post-traumatic
stress disorder, which affects a
half-million veterans,” said Pe
ter Erlinder, one of Wood’s
attorneys.
Wood had been charged with
attempted murder, aggravated
battery and armed violence in
the Aug. 22, 1980, shooting of
his foreman, Cecil Herrel, at a
Ford assembly plant.
Wood still faces a June 7
psychiatric examination and
hearing before a judge.
During the trial, defense
attorneys contended sights and
sounds in the factory triggered
Wood’s memories of combat
and provoked the shooting.
Jurors said later that the na
ture of the Vietnam War itself
never played a factor in deliber
ations.
“No doubt the shooting was
terrible, but that wasn’t what we
were trying to decide,’’jury fore
man Leonard Harsy said. “The
only issue was whether he, Jearl,
was sane at the time of the
shooting.”

NAHUNTA, Ga. — Nahun-

jump and 30-meter dash, has
been canceled due to a shortage
of contenders.
The 1982 Armadillo Olym

has dwindled, and experts say
they are too rare to catch.
“The armadillos could not
have disappeared at a more in
convenient time,” said Troy
Wainright, president of the
Brantley County Future Far
mers of America who sponsor
the event.
“We have football in the fall,
basketball in winter, track in the
spring and the grand finale is
the armadillo roundup,” Huey
Ham, founder of the competi
tion, said.
Ham said at this time in 1981,
about 20,000 of the varmints
were in the county, compared to
4,000 this year.
“We had some really severe
weather down here for about
three or four days in January,”
he said. “These are tropical-type
animals. They can’t handle cold
weather over a long period of
time. 1 guess they all froze to
death.”
Armadillos are relative new
comers to Georgia. Ham said
they have been in the area for
five to six years, having mi
grated north from Florida.
At that time, Ham said the
locals established an annual
armadillo barbecue that even-

WASHINGTON —The 100-

to fulfill a campaign promise
and call for a constitutional
amendment to put prayer back

Evangelist Jerry Falwell,
head of the Moral Majority, said
Tuesday it was his understand

constitutional amendment to
authorize voluntary group
prayer in public schools.
According to published re
ports, White House staff mem

for the president to introduce.
“We would give it our
wholehearted support — as long
as the key word is voluntary,”

invited to the ceremony to mark
the National Day of Prayer.
The size of the group called
into the flower-filled garden just
outside the Oval Office signals
the importance Reagan places
on the event. Gatherings there
normally are limited to a few
dozen people.
Reagan was outspoken dur
ing his campaign against court
decisions that banned prayer in
public schools, and in recent
appearances has again picked
up that thenie.
His campaign rhetoric was
successful in wooing religious
groups into his camp and he
acted last month to deliver on
another of his promises by
urging Congress to approve tui
tion tax credits for parents
whose children attend private
schools, which are often church-
related.
White House officials refused
Tuesday to announce the names
of anyone invited to the event.
“He’s going to greet a bunch
of invited people — interested in
prayer,” said Morton Blackwell,
a special assistant in the office of
public liaison.
