Burger won swift Senate Judiciary Committee approval yesterday to be chief justice of the United States. Thirteen senators agreed unanimously after the white- haired judge assured them he does not think the Supreme Court has the power to legislate or to amend the Constitution. The Senate, now in recess, can complete the confirmation process tomorrow, although Democratic Leader Mike Mans- field of Montana said action next week is more likely.

Cahill, a Republican, won their parties' gubernatorial nominations yesterday in New Jersey's primary, and will face each other in the November, general election. Meyner coasted to an easy vic- tory'over five rivals, leading his nearest opponent by a margin of more than 3-2. He withstood dual . challenges from the Hudson Coun- ty Democratic machine, the area1 between Neward and New York City, and a new coalition of lib- erals. Cahill defeated Rep. Charles W. Sandman Jr. in a tight race in a field of five GOP candidates. Sandman, the only unmistakable conservative in the Republican race, suffered an earlier disap- pointment, losing a neck-and-neck contest in the 1965 GOP primary. Republican leaders were jubilant at the outconte. "We're in better shape now than anytime in the past 16 years," one high ranking official said. "This is the strong- est candidate we could get." .. Supporters of Meyner also ex- pressed confidence the Democratsj would win in November. With about 80 per cent of the vote counted, Cahill polled 112,-, 259 votes to 103,712 fo Sandman. The next closest rival trailed the two South Jersey congressmen by well over 50,000 votes. Eleven candidates sought the nominations, six Democrats and! five Republicans. Meyner, considered by many a conservative, particularly in fiscal matters, was the clear Democratic favorite. His edge was based large- ly on widespread voter recognition developed in his two terms as gov- ernor from 1953 through 1961. Rivals charged that Meyner, 60, would not bring a fresh approach to current problems. The former governor said he isĀ° prepared to tackle the problems of the 1970's, with a new outlook. The other Democratic candi- dates are former State Sen. Ned J. Parsekian; D. Louis Tonti, exe- cutive director of the Garden State Parkway, and John L. Hennessey,; a tavern owner and political novice. The other Republican candi- dates were State Sens. Harry L. Sears and Fank X. McDermott and Public Utility Commissioner William E. Ozzard.

Thomassen was expected to decide today, but will set a new date for announcing the decision sometime tliis morning. Thomassen was to decide if there is "probable cause to believe a crime was committed," and if the defendants had actually com- mitted it. The preliminary hearing was held on May 7.

"I leaned over him and he was dead," August said. August then said he felt "sick" so he walked out of the motel and "leaned against a tree." "The next i thing I remember, we were head- ing for the 13th precinct station," he added. During cross-examination, As- sistant Wayne County Prosecutor Avery Weiswasser asked August why he didn't report the killing until July 31, 1967, nearly a week :later. August replied that he had "been afraid for myself and my family." He said that three days after the shootings, on July 29,: he had signed a statement withl fellow Detroit police officers Da- d Seak and Robert Paille, stat- ing that they had found the bod- ies of Pollard, Carl Cooper and Fred Temple already dead upon entering the motel annex early on the 26th._ August later rescinded t h i s statement, admitting it was un- true. He testified that by July 1, "I decided I just had to tell the; NEW INFORMATION BOOKLET rcommi~ttee rolls its own. By CAROL PINTEK "The psychological effects of grass and acid are a really personal thing," says one student drug user. "It's something no booklet can describe. People should en- close samples if they want to teach what a high feels like." But the University has attempted to ex- plain the turned-on experience with words alone in a new pamphlet entitled "In- formation about Drugs." Put out by an ad hoc committee from the Office of Student Affairs, the Drug Edu- cation Committee, the booklet will be given to all incoming freshmen\ in their orientation kits. Dr. Edward Bordin, chairman of the committee, says the pamphlet is designed to help provide an honest picture of what is knnwn A tm, ,1,,,. "RiiintG im, m ak m, dents are interested in much more than LSD. What about DMT and DET? The difference between organic and inorganic drugs should be noted," he adds. The section describing the psychological and physiological effects of marijuana is totally unclear and value-ridden, says Schwartz. "There is not much clinically that has been said about marijuana." Recent studies contradict many of the pamphlet's conclusions, Schwartz main- tains, but the new studies are as inconclus- ive and inadequate as the previous ones, he admits. Several student drug consumers' also have found' the pamphlet inadequate and objectionable. "The cover of the booklet is horrible," claims one student.
