411111,1 1 . ,r . LI1 II I LI I 7a ; I t '*s the news today b) The Associated Press (and Col ,e Press S ice SEN. RIClhARD S. SCIIWEiEl R-Pa) said he will vote against confirmation of Clement F. flaynsworth as a Supreme Court justice. Schweiker accused Haynsworth of insensitivity to potential conflicts of interest and of violating the judicial canons of ethics and urged President Nixon to choose another nominee. IHe said if former Justice Abe Fortas was guilty of impropriety or its appearance-both forbidden by the canons---then so is Hayns- worth. An Associated Press survey showed 46 senators planning to vote against Haynsworth, 34 supporting him. and 20 still undecided. The nomination is expected to reach the Senate floor about Nov. 6. FOUR ARMY SERGEANTS have allegedly stolen what could amount to millions of dollars from non-commissioned officers' clubs. The sergeants, appearing before the Senate permanent invest- agating committee, invok:ed the 5th Amendment more than 100 times yesterday during questioning concerning aliases, kickbacks and other irregularities. One of them, Sgt. Maj. William 0. Wooldridge, was promptly stripped of his rating as a command s rgeant major. A Defense Department spokesman said it hasn't yet been decided whether he will be court-martialed. Sen. Abraham Ribicoff,+ D-Conn., said the hearings showed that "a conspiracy was formed and member s of the conspiracy real- ized profit from their fellow soldiers.." The- hearings will resume next week. THE SENATE unanimously passed a bill to raise veteran ed- ucation benefits by 46 per cent. According to Sen. Jacob H. Javits H-N.Y. , President Nixon may veto the bill because he might believe it to be inflationary. Javits indicated thi t if Nixon does not veto the bill he will have to cut federal spending elsewhere to balance the added expense. The White House originally favored a 13 per cent increase. OPERAT[ION INTERCEPT has been claimed a success by the U.S. government. The campaign to halt the smugling of narcotics and marijuana from Mexico into the United States has successfully depleted the sup- ply of marijuana in many areas of the country and where it is still sold, it is of low quality and exhorbitant price, officials claimed yesterday. The assessment was made by Dputy' Atty. Gr. Richard G. Klein- dienst and Asst. Treasury Secretary Eugene Rossides, who spear- headed the guverminent crackdown., ,Mmmmmw - (T4 r Sitiritan Friday, October 24, 1969 Ann Arbor, Michigan Page Three I iiimi ^3II,-ri~ .i-. , PAUL NEWMAN AS HARPER "Good, but not as good as How I Won the War."--Stanley Kauffmann.

A-75c Officials s i over draft case (;iswold l'eftses to sitzl Wbrief 0111 dIelinqu~ency rule WASHINGTON (RP -- A split evidently has developed in the Justice Department over the validity of the draft de- linquency regulations. Government briefs filed in the Supreme Court on delinquency cases are usually signed by Soli- citor General Erwin N. Griswold, third-highest official in the de- partment, as well as by other de- lartment officials. But Gris-I wold's name is noticably miss- ing on recent briefs. When asked by a reporter why he did not officially support the government's position in two cur- rent cases, Griswold replied terse- ly, "no comment." The cases test whether the priority induction of young men olho burn or destroy draft cards to protest, the Vietnam war vio- lates their constitutional rights of freedom of speech and expression. The cases also test whether the draft regulations have been im- properly stretched to punish pro- testers by Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Her- shey, the outgoing Selective Ser- vice director. Atty. Gen, John Mitchell ar- gued in the briefs that tearing up or burning a draft card is illegal, whether or not the purpose is to protest U.S. war policy. He said such protesters are be- ing stripped of student and other deferments and put at the top of draft lists not because they are dissenters but because they a r e violating draft regulations. The delinquency regulations are not punishment, he said, b u t simply "compel cooperation with the Selective Service on the part of all draft-eligible young men." Griswold, former dean of t h e Harvard Law School, has signed department papers in previous draft cases and his expressed views appeat o conflict, in part,. with Mitchell's. Griswold did not specifically approve the reclassification to 1- A of draft protesters, nor did he endorse Hershey's October 1967' memorandum counseling draft boards to use the delinquency re- gulations against young men who engage in "illegal activity." In an earlier case, Griswold had said Hershey's memorandum "appears to have invited local' boards to undertake . ..reclassifi- cation in a punitive fashion. Against this background there is a serious question whether the delinquency regulations are being applied in a manner consistent with the Selective Service Act and the Constitution."
