Gen. John N. Mitchell confirmed yester- day that he gave Chief Justice Earl Warren secret government informa- tion on the affairs of Justice Abe Fortas. FButathat was the only solid devel- opment in a day abounding with rumors - and counterrumors - that Fortas plans to resign in face of vague reports of new disclosures and clamor that he bare all of his out- of-court financial activity. The justice himself maintained the silence that he adopted soon after -his latest trouble erupted. He issued a statement immediately after Life magazine said that he ac- cepted a $20,000 payment from a charitable foundation set up by the family of financier Louis Wolfson, now in jail on securities law viola- tions. The article said the fee was returned but not until 11 months after its receipt. In his statement Fortas acknowl- edged that a fee was profered and returned but he did not say what sum, was involved or how long the money was kept. He did deny any impro- priety, said he never had used his influence as a judge in Wolfson's be- half and noted he disqualified him- self when matters affecting Wolfson were before the court. Mitchell told of his meeting with Warren in response to inquiries about a Newsweek Magazine story that the attorney general went to Warren on behalf of President Nixon and ex- erted pressure for Fortas's resigna- tion. Newsweek also reported yesterday that Mitchell told Warren the Justice Department has "far more serious" information that has been revealed so far about Fortas and that the facts are bound to come out eventually. "As a courtesy to the chief justice I felt it incumbent upon me to inform him of certain information known by me which might be of aid to him," Mitchell said yesterday. But the attorney general gave no indication whether he sought War- ren's aid in persuading Fortas to resign from the high court. The chief justice acknowledged that he met with Mitchell but had no other comment. Mitchell said the meeting took place "at my request" in Warren's chamber last Wednesday. A spokesman said the Justice De- partment would have no further com- ment on what transpired at the meet- ing. But it is known that the depart- ment's criminal division began in- vestigating the Fortas affair long be- fore Life magazine disclosed the Wolfson foundation transaction. The division checked into Life's allegation that Fortas may have dis- cussed charges pending against Wolfson by the Securities and Ex- change Commission.\ Federal judges are forbidden from practicing law while serving on the bench and Life quoted Wolfson as- sociates as saying Fortas discussed SEC charges during a visit to Wolf- son's Florida farm. These developments occurred yes- terday in the rumor mill on a possible Fortas resignation: -Sen. Paul J. Fannin (R-Ariz), said he has been informed by a Washington attorney that Fortas will resign this week. On that basis, Fannin said, he will withhold introducting a resolution calling for creation of a special con- gressional committee to look into the Fortas-Wolfson affair. -The Memphis Press-Scimitar quoted a source in Fortas's Washing- ton office as saying Fortas "has no intention of resigning at this time." -A staff member in Fortas's chambers said "he has made no state- ment like that at all." She said he has not authorized a statement to be made by anyone in his office. -Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana and Repub- lican Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Ilinois disclaimed knowledge of any reported move by the Nixon admin- istration to get Fortas to step down. -White House press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said Nixon did not direct Mitchell to discuss the Fortas matter with Warren. And "to draw the conclusion that the President is directly involved in any manner relating to Justice For- tas would be the wrong conclusion to draw," he said. -Sen. James B. Allen (D-Ala), in a Senate spech, called on Fortas to resign. --Rep. H. R. Gross (R-Iowa), with- held from introduction articles of impeachment which he has drawn against Fortas. Gross said Sunday he has prepared articles accusing Fortas. of malfeas- nce, misconduct and impropriety and plans to introduce them in the House unless Fortas resigns. The impeachment process requires that the House approve the accusa- tions by a majority vote and that the Senate try the case with a two- thirds majority of those voting re- quired for conviction. the news today by The Associated Press and College Press Service THE "ALGIERS MOTEL TRIAL" of a former Detroit police- man begins today with the selection of a 12-member jury in Lansing. The defendant, Ronald J. August, is charged with the first-degree murder of 19-year-old Auburey Pollard, who died from a shotgun blast at close range the night of July 26, 1967 at the height of the Detroit riot. The actual trial will take place in Mason, the Ingham County seat, because defense attorneys argued that tensions in Detroit would preclude a fair trial. * * * ISRAELI DEFENSE MINISTER Moshe Dayan warned yes- terday that his country might mount an offensive against Egypt if the current near-daily battles across the Suez Canal become too costly.' He said Israeli forces were coping so far with Egyptian shellings and commando raids along the canal, "but if the Arabs continue with this war, it is doubtful whether we will remain within a defensive framework." On another of Israeli's cease-fire lines, Israeli and Jordanian artillery fought two duels'yesterday across the Jordan River north of the Dead Sea. EUROPEAN MONEY SPECULATORS exchanged marks for dollars yesterday following West Germany's rejection of revalua- tion of the mark last Friday. The money was not exchanged for the original currencies- British pounds or French francs. Most of it went into European dollar deposits in Germany called Eurodollars. West Germany disclosed that $600 million worth of foreign cur- rency poured out of the country yesterday. But this was only about 15 per cent of the $4 billion that a govern- mentspokesman said West Germany had unwillingly taken in since Charles de Gaulle's April 28 resignation shook the money markets. CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER CHARLES EVERS leads the first major post-Reconstruction Negro assault on municipal political power in Mississippi today., An estimated 175 Negro candidates for posts in some 45 municipal- ities are on primary and general election ballots across the state, with Negroes seeking the mayor's job in thirteen cities. Evers, state field director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been leading efforts to register Negroes' and to persuade Negroes to seek office. He is a candidate for mayor of the southwest Mississippi town of Fayette. "I want to be mayor of Fayette and prove black men can work with white men, that we can run the kind of community all the citizens needs. * * * , GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION has given up on their one-time successful Corvair, which has suffered from sales anemia ever since Ralph Nader harshly criticised it in his 1965 book, "Unsafe At Any Speed," a company spokesman said yesterday. General Motors said all who have purchased a new 1969 Corvair will be issued a nontransferable certificate for $150, redeemable on the purchase of any other new Chevrolet model through 1973. A spokesman said Corvair parts and service will be available in- definitely through Chevrolet dealers.

Saturday w a s International Grape Boycott Day - an attempt by the UFW to bring public pres- sure on table grape growers who refuse to recognize the union. The f a s t was immediately branded as "ridiculous" by a spokesman for t h e Associated Food Dealers of Detroit. Edward Deeb, executive direc- tor of the group, said Craig "is striking the wrong issue. The mer- chant is an innocent bystander." Craig has been the principle de- fender of the grape boycott in the State Legislature. The union hopes to force the growers to negotiate by building public support for the boycott and cutting drastically into the sale of grapes. Last week's march was timed to coincide with the first ,arrival of this year's crop of grapes in local markets. The Michigan Daily, edited and man- aged by students of the University of Michigan.
