ATLANTA, Ga., July 25--Georgia's two chief government officials are in the same boat with a lot of other reservists today.
They know how they would stand with the draft, but not how they stand as members of the Reserves. They are Gov. Herman Talmadge, a Lieutenant Commander in the Naval Reserves and Lt. Gov. Griffin a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserves.
Top state officials are exempt from selective service, but Gov. Talmadge said he does not know whether he and Griffin will be called into active service with the Reserves.
A spokesman for the Reserves Corps of the Georgia Military District said he knew of no regulation exempting state officials from being called to active duty, but he thought it might be a policy to exempt them.
