University Ave. Daily Classif ieds Get Results WASHINGTON (P) - Justice Abe/ Fortas publicly acknowledged yesterday that while serving on the Supreme Court he assisted President Johnson in White House conferences on Vietnam and civil disorders in the United States. But he also told the Senate Ju- diciary Committee his role was simply that of summarizing for the President what others had said. "It would be very misleading to allow the impression to prevail that this is a matter of frequen- cy," Fortas said. A dvocate corporate post service WASHINGTON (P) - A com- mission named by President John- son recommended yesterday that the nation's faltering, deficit-rid- den mail service be turned over to a federal corporation patterned after private enterprise. Presenting to Johnson a 212- page package of revolutionary ideas, the Commission on Postal Organization also broached three other major recommendations: -Elimination of all political patronage jobs from the postal system. -Fixing of mail rates by exec- utives of the proposed corporation, subject only to veto by Congress. -Introduction of true collec- tive bargaining to determine com- pensation for postal workers, now largely decided by Congress. "It occurs very seldom and it has occurred only in matters that are very perplexing and that are critical in importance to the Pres- ident and he wants some addi- tional assistance." Fortas told the committee that "whatever opportunity I have to serve my country" in this manner will end next Jan. 20. This was a reference to the date on which Johnson's term will end. 'Fortas appeared before the committee to testify on his nom- ination to be chief justice of the United States. He is the first nom- inee for that office to be quizzed, by a congressional committee. Sen. Robert P. Griffin (R- Mich) leading a fight against For- tas' confirmation, urged the com- mittee last week to look into re- ports that Fortas is playing a big role in White House policy mak- ing. Griffin criticized Fortas' White House role in an impromptu news conference outside the hearing room. Griffin charged, "It breaches the basic fundamental concept of separation of power or at least brings it into question." Griffin indicated he would pro- ceed with plans for a Senate fili- buster against confirmation. Fortas is an old friend of John- son and long was legal adviser to the Johnson family. The questioning got quickly to this issue. "I don't believe," Fortas said, "that I have at any time since I have been a justice of the Su- preme Court recommended any- body for any position." Moreover, he added: "I have never initiated any suggestion or any proposal to the President of the United States." ' -Associated Press Sens McCarthy on the campaign trail McCarthy on suburbs Johnsoi GENEVA ()-President John- son told the opening session of the 17-nation disarmament confer- ence yesterday that "the fate of mankind" may depend upon the way the United States and the Soviet Union face their respon- sibility to prevent a nuclear arms race. In a message to the conference, Johnson made clear the United States' was eager to take up a Soviet proposal for mutual dis- cussions on limiting strategic and defense nuclear weapons systems, including the antimissile missile. Soviet Delegate Alexei A. Rosh- chin agreed on the importance of discussions b u t disappointed ern officials by insisting on prior- ity for an international conven- tion banning the use of nuclear weapons. The West feels such a convention could not be enforced. Johnson said it is expected that the United States and the Soviet Union "will shortly reach a deci- sion on the time and place for talks" on. limiting nuclear wea- pons systems. "The United States," he said, "would be prepared to consider reductions in existing systems. This would cut back effectively- and for the first time-on the vast potentials for destruction which each side possesses." Without an agreement, he con- tinued "the nuclear arms race could escalate to new levels." Johnson referred to the recently concluded treaty initiated by the United States and the Soviet Union to halt the spread of nu- clear weapons as "a triumph of sanity in international affairs." Johnson also showed interest in the recent proposal of Soviet Pre- mier Alexei N. Kosygin for guar- anteeing the peaceful use of ocean floors. Roshchin declared an interna- tional convention banning the use of nuclear weapons "would be a very serious deterrent to those who would like to use such wea- pons against other states." British Disarmament Minister Fred Mulley voiced Western op- position to the idea when he said PITTSBURGH () - Sen. Eu- gene J. McCarthy challenged the federal government yesterday to play a major role in opening the suburbs to low-income families. "As long as the suburban areas are receiving federal subsidies," McCarthy said, "they should be required to demonstrate that they contain a reasonable proportion of dwellings for low and moderate income families." The Democratic presidential contender charged that federal policy "has encouraged the growth of the segregated suburbs which surround our ghettoes . . . The federal government has guilded havens for the rich, isolated by zoning from the Problems of the central cities." talks Much of McCarthy's popular support in his uphill battle for the presidential nomination has come from the middle- and upper-in- come dwellers of suburbia. In his housing statement, Mc- Carathy said "Our national hous- ing policy has caused, as much as it has relieved, the crisis of the cities. The shame of our cities is in large measure the shame of our housing policy. And that shame should stand as rebuke to those who claim that conditions in America are improving each year. "If our suburbs are to continue to benefit from public subsidies, they must bear a greater share of public responsibility." His position paper on housing was issed as the Minnesota Dem- ocrat took part in the demonstra- tion of a low-cost housing unit in the parking lot of a Negro church in Pittsburgh. Scarcely 100 Negroes turned out to see the candidate, although an estimated 5,000 persons packed the streets near a downtown hotel earlier to greet him on his ar- rival. suhparle such a convention could not be enforced and would be meaning- less so long as nuclear weapons still existed. Mulley proposed a seven-mem- berinternational panel of referees who would study any complaint that a nuclear nation was viola- ting such a test ban treaty. A minimum vote of 5 to 2 would be necessary before inspectors could be sent into the territory of the accused nuclear power. Steel union votes ;for strike vote PI'IT'SBURGH (A')- The Unit- ed Steelworkers Union set in mo- tion yesterday the machinery to take the first rank and file strike vote in its history. "Time is running out," said I. W. Abel, president of the union. The industry still has not made any offer on money issues, he said. The vote was set for July 23, just eight days before the labor contract for the nation's 450,000 basic steelworkers runs out. Abel said he hoped for an overwhelm- ing vote of approval. Abel, craggy-faced head of the nation's third largest union, said progress had been made on some issues, but not on others, particu- larly the crucial wage package. "I would hope that in the re- maining weeks we could get down to the hard, factual bargaining and work out a contract," Abel told a news conference after a day-long series of meetings with his top negotiating teams. But he stopped short of predict- ing either a strike or a settlement. "A lot of things can happen be- tween now and August first," he said. The strike vote was recommend- ed by the union's Executive Board and its steel advisory committee. It was approved with a unanimous shout of "Yea!" from the 600 members of the Basic Steel Indus- try Conference at the end of a 2% hour meeting. The rank and file have never had a chance to vote on a strike before because the power to call the men out had been held by the union's Wage Policy Committee. A big strike vote will not neces- sarily mean a strike. The Basic Steel Industry Conference can ap- prove any settlement offered by the industry. w "4S }; U -1 COPE FOR SHERIFF HELP RESTORE PRIDE IN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE Please make your check payable to Copi for Sheriff and send it to R.
