A 1 Senate 'denounces' T (Continued from Page 1) the charges against Talmadge, the veteran senator sat quietly, hand on chin, near the rear of the Senate chain ber with his lawyer at his side. After detailing the charges of finan- cial misconduct against the senator, Stevenson urged the Senate to "charac- terize his conduct as reprehensible and 'denounce that conduct ..." - 'A deep silence fell over the chamber gas the senators cast their votes. 'Talmadge voted "present" - as did llow Georgian Sam Nunn and Sens. Walter Huddleston (D-Ky. ), and G'eorge McGovern (D-S:D.). Voting present indicates a senator was on hand for a recorded vote but chose not to cast "' IMMEDIATELY after the vote by his c~olleagues, Talmadge arose in his chair 1$' declare his innocence. "I have never -fkowingly violated the laws of this nation or the rules of the Senate," he 'aid. 'But Talmadge also said he had made Mistakes of negligence and that he t egretted them. However, he added that the Ethics Committee had found ithing to indicate his, actions were ,willful. Talmadge said he had "nothing t6 fear" from a parallel investigation by the Justice Department. "I accept the committee's criticism. because I believe that senators should" be held to much higher standards than ,Is commonplace;' Talmadge said. "In the past, I have leveled heavy criticism at others. I also know how to take it." IT IS POSSIBLE that Talmadge could face further discipline from Democratic members of the Senate,, who could strip him of seniority and of his post as. chairman of the Agriculture Committee and as second ranking Democrat on the Finance Committee. However, such action appeared unlikely. Sen. Harrison Schmitt (R-N.M.), the senior Republican on the ethics panel, said that based on historical precedents and constitutional principals, he believed Talmadge should be censured, not denoun'ced. "THE APPROPRIATE disciplinary action was censure," Schmitt said. But he said he. wouldl not seek to change the unanimous vote of the committee, which decided Talmadge should be "denounced," - a penalty considered by many to be less severe than censure. In the first hour of debate, there were no speeches in Talmadge's defense. But Sens. John Stennis (D-Miss. ), a long- time friend, and Sen. Daniel Inouye (D- Hawaii), asked Stevenson a series of questions focusing on the importance of testimony by Daniel Minchew, Talmadge's former administrative aide and chief accuser "I DID NOT find tl chew) credible," Stev But he said, "We did testimony" in reachin that Talmadge should Minchew, who has b serve four months in p similar to those Talmadge, has said he cash from a secret bar included campaign c false Senate expense fu Stevenson conceded mittee found Talmadl report more than $10, contributions, its six n almadge findthat he personally benefitted from he witness (Min- the illegal conversion of such funds. venson conceded.
