Sunday, September 22, 1968 CAMPAIGN AT PEAK? Senators weigh Wallace threat THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three By The Associated Press As third-party candidate George C. Wallace told reporters in Mont- gomery, Ala. the masses share his concern about only two key issues Onthis campaign--law and order, and schools -- concerned senators in Washington were predicting his movemnent has reached. its peak strength and will be on the down- grade. Wallace said that, partly as a result of his campaign, which he refers to as a movement, people are likely to rise up and demand local control of school policies whether he wins in November orI not. "They're sick and tired of all this anarchy," he said, "and aren't going to put up with it." He said it would not surprise him if people held mass rallies "in' groups of maybe 10,000 to 15,000 people and then the federal gov- ernment will listen to our point of view just as they are listening to the anarchists -now."

Humphrey - if he gains any- where near the 20 per cent of the popular vote some polls now indi- cate. A spot check of individual sen- ators deeply involved in local contests indicates that Wallace's greatest threat to either candi- date lies in the states that ring the D e e p South - the states which Nixon counts on to furnish him the winning margin of elec- toral votes. Nixon himself has spotlighted this problem by calling on Hum- phrey to, repudiate any attempt on the part of Southern Demo- crats to combine with Wallace forces in an attempt to throw the presidential contest into t h e House of Representatives. BAD NEWS Humphrey ignored t h is chal- lenge except to say that Wallace's candidacy is "bad news for the United States." In Tennessee, one of the critical border areas, Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr., working hard for Nixon, said he thinks the GOP nominee will win. But he does not rule out the possibility that Wallace might come out on top in the scramble there for 11 electoral votes of the 270 needed for victory- "The race is between Nixon and Wallace in Tennessee," Baker said. "I don't find any Humphrey sentiment in the state." Meanwhile, in Montgomery, the former Alabama governor, whose administration was marked by his defiant stand against federal school integration orders, said state officials have the authority to take over physical control of schools to protect citizens. Malay youths Maly raid embassy 400 mar'ch on Philip pinies Conisulate, rally at home of prime minister, KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia ( -- Malaysia's dispute with the Philippines over ownership of Sabah erupted yesterday into an at- tack by Malaysian students on the grounds of the Philippines Embas- sy in Kuala Lumpur. About 400 students, charging through the embassy gates unhin- dered, ripped down the Philippines flag and hoisted a crude drawing depicting Ferdinand Marcos, president of the Philippines, as a pirate. The students then marched tot the residence of Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman where they won his praise. "Malaysia needs this kind of spirit," he told them. "We appre- ciate this spirit to show that you are going to defend Malaysia." But the prime minister told newsmen yesterday night he was unaware the students had invaded the embassy grounds and had torn down the flag. He indicated he thought the students had come to his home in demonstration of support and that " Tear gas in Uruguay Police fired cannisters of tear gas at demonstrating students of the University of the Republic in Montevideo, Uruguay yesterday. One student was shot to death and several others seriously wounded in campus disturbances. LONG DISPUTE SEEN: Report supports. Fortas Univesty esPlayers Department of Speech ]present WASHINGTON (R') - Outlines for a prolonged and harsh Senate dispute over the nomination of Abe Fortas to be chief justice were drawn more sharply yester- day. His supporters described him as a man of extraordinary excel- lence while his foes blamed him and the Supreme Court for a host of national ills. A report speaking for the major- ity of the Senate Judiciary Com- mittee which approved the nom- ination 11 to 6 had high praise for the man who has been an as- sociate justice of the Supreme Court since 1965. And it sought to refute various arguments ad- vanced against him. But four dissenting Southern members issued individual state- ments which made it clear that his opponents will seek to indict not only Fortas' decisions and conduct but will try also to dis-j credit the court's course of recent years.1 This assured that the debate opening next week not only will be prolonged as Fortas's foes seek to block a vote by filibustering but will be a rough-and-tumble affair centering on issues of high emotional content. Fortas was named by President Johnson last June to succeed Chief Justice Earl Warren who. submitted a retirement letter to become effective at the Presi- dent's pleasure. Johnson made the retirement contingent upon confirmation of Warren's succes- sor and if Fortas is blocked War- ren is expected to continue in of- fice. At the same time, Johnson nom- inated U.S. Circuit Judge Homer T. Thornberry to the court vacan- cy that would be created by War- ren's retirement. But the Judi- ciary Committee postponed action on Thornberry pending settle- ment of the Fortas case. The majority report described Fortas as "a symbol of leader- ship in the law and progress in our society." It found him to be "a man of extraordinary excel- lence and his nbmination . . . one of unusual and high distinction." Referring to the threat of a filibuster under the leadership of Sen. Robert P. Griffin, (R-Mich), the report called on senators to "shun support of such an igno- ble vernture." But Griffin and his allies remained confident For- tas supporters can not rally the two-thirds majority needed to cut off debate and force a vote. The majority report sought in several ways to dispose of the main arguments against confir- mation. To charges against Fortas for not discussing decisions with hos- tile committee members, for in- stance, the report said this wou.d threaten the independence of the judiciary. he was praising them for that. NO PROTESTS Rahman said his government would assure the Philippines that protests or demonstrations would no longer be permitted at the em- bassy in Kuala Lumpur. "We are going to tell them it won't occur again," the prime minister i n f o r m e d newsmen. "There will be a greater security guard against such a thing hap- pening. I regret that it -has hap- pened." Rahman spoke to newsmen af- ter word reached here that the Marcos government had lodged a "strong protest" with the with- drawing Malaysian ambassador in Manila. SUSPEND RELATIONS Malaysian suspended diplomat- ic relations with the Philippines after Marcos signed a bill annex- ing the Malaysian state of Sabah in North Borneo. The student attack followed a wave of demonstrations across Malaysia Friday in support of Prime Minister Rahman's stand in denouncing the Philippines law on Sabah. world news roundup Soviet-led occpaion to Pull out PRAGUE (A)-Czechoslovakia's leadership gave out word yester- day that Soviet-led occupation troops will start gradual with- drawals within a few days but "certain contingents" will remain. Citizens also were told they need have no fear of expressing their political opinions. News of pending pullouts of troops who invaded just a month ago came from Premier Oldrich Cernik in a speech to Communist party officials and workers in Istrava, a big mining center in Silesia. His remarks were reported by Radio Prague. "In the next few days, the gradual withdrawal of foreign troops from our /territory will take place," he was quoted as saying. "But certain contingents of the armies will stay with us-how many and for how long, the pub- lic will learn in due time.", Cernik, followed by Alexander Dubcek, the Communist party's first secretary and chief architect of the nation's reform policies, pledged a government which will work to keep the air free for poli- tical expression. "The answer to Ivoices saying we did not face up resolutely enough against rightist elements is that nobody can expect that we will use the same methods as the fifties," Cernik declared. "We will not punish anybody for his polit- ical opinions. "Only those will be punished who transgress our valid laws." Said Dubcek: "It is important to create an atmosphere in which people will not fear to speak their opinions in public." The radio quoted him as saying that socialism enjoys a firm posi- tion in Czechoslovakia and the people will not accept non-So- cialist ideas. Those party functionaries who manage to win the support of the people by their positions on timely problems are the ones who should gain influence, he said. SAIGON (P) - Two thousand U.S. Marines backed up by Amer- ica's largest bombers pressed a double-barreled assault yesterday against North Vietnamese a r m y units trying to enter South Viet- nam across the demilitarized zone. The Leathernecks, in the fifth day of a massive sweep through the once-neutral buffer zone, re- ported light contact with the en- emy as they methodically de- stroyed well-engineered bunkers and infiltration trails. U.S. spokesmen said that since the Marines were landed by heli- copter in the DMZ Tuesday, they have killed 68 North Vietnamese soldiers at a cost of two Marines killed and 20 wounded . While the Marines swept through the mountainous central area of the DMZ, U.S. B-52 bomb- ers have been flying daily strikes on the eastern flank of the zone, about seven miles inland from the coast, and over the south- ern edge of North Vietnam. * * * MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay -- Authorities feared further rioting as students prepared for the fun- eral of a student killed Friday in a third straight night of violent protests over wage and price freeze policies. , The seven-hour wave of vio- lence in which economics student Hugo de los Santos, 18, was fat- ally shot, was described as one of the worst in the capital in the past three months of disturb- ances. It' was feared his funeral could trigger further outbursts. Although there was no accurate casualty toll available, six other persons were deported seriously1 injured Friday night and ?scores suffered lesser injuries. About 501 persons were arrested. Atthe height of the fighting, students hurled stones from be- hind barricades as police battled with tear gas and rifles. JODRELL BANK, England, - Observatory reported yesterday night indications that the Soviet' spaceship Zond 5 has re-entered the earth's atmosphere after cir- cling the moon. British experts have predicted a Soviet attempt to land the cap- sule, adding success would give ,the Rusisans a big step forward in the man-to-the-moon race. Sir Bernard Lovell, director of the observatory here; said his rad- iotelescopes were receiving no signals after picking\ up "heaps of extremely strong signals" earlier in the day. "If the Russian space- craft is still in orbit we vwould have expected to have received further signals by this time," Lov- ell said at 7 p.m. featuring 6 GRAT PLAYS and a PREMIERE PRODUCTION BOX OFFICE OPENS SEPT. 23-12:30-5:00f Euripides' 0 THE BACCHAE October 2-5 Trueblood Theatre Harold Pinter's THE HOMECOMING October 30-November 2 Trueblood Theatre William Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST November 20-23 Trueblood Theatre In cooperation with the Department of English BANG' BANG!
