Fortas Turn Fire On War WASHINGTON _ Ap. pa rent] v- confident of being able « vot ® M th& JMmina "°"°'"Abe Fortas to succeed Chief Justice Earl Warren, sen ators turned their fire Monday on Warren. Sea. Harry F. Byrd, D-Va„ for one, said that "in the way he conditioned his retirement" Warren has "acted in a manner unbecoming the great office of chief justice." Sen. J. William Fulbright proposed Monday that Johnson break the Senate's impasse by withdrawing his disputed nomination of Fortas to be Chief Justice and nominating Arthur J. Goldberg instead. Sen. Gordon Allott, R-Colo., crlticiied what he called the "calculated phraseology" in which Warren submitted his re tirement at President Johnson's pleasure, snd in which Johnson accepted it upon the confirma tion of a successor. Warren wrote Johnson last June 13, "I hereby advise you of my intention to retire as chief' justice of the United States, ef fective at your pleasure." In an accompanying letter he said the reason was not because of health "or on account of any personal or associational prob lems, but solely because of age." On June 26 Johnson replied, paying tribute to Warren's serv ice and saying: "With your agreement, I will accept your decision to retire effective at such time as a successor is qualified." Administration backers held little hope that they will be able to muster anywhere near the votes they will need Tuesday in a move to choke off a filibuster against Johnson's nomination of Associate Justice Fortas to suc ceed Warren. Democratic leader Mike Mansfield of Montana expressed hope for a full attendance when a roll call is due to be taken at 1 p.m. on a petition to invoke the Senate's debate-limiting clo ture rule. Mansfield has indicated that the question of dropping the fight will turn on the number of votes he is able to round up in favor of cloture. A two-thirds majority of the senators voting is required to invoke the rule. Allott, leading off on the fourth day of debate on Fortas's nomination, told the Senate that "the position taken by Mr. War ren in this matter, in effect dic tating that Abe Fortas shall suc ceed him as chief justice, is ex ceedingly offensive to my sense of justice." YBCPrexy Proposes Forum CHAPEL HILL The newly-elected president of North Carolina Young Demo crats, Charles G. Rose 111, said Monday night he hopes to pro vide a forum within the YDC for "the vigorous young people who have surged into politics in 1968." "The YDC needs to capture some of the enthusiasm we have seen this year and channel it to work within the Democratic party," he said. Rose, quizzed by a panel of newsmen on North Carolina News Conference program of University of North Carolina ed ucational television, was asked if most of the youths active in "nlit-cs this year were,ln the YDC. Rose said that most were fol lowers of Sen. Eugene McCarthy and were not YDC members. "These youthful intellectuals did not get the proper leader ship from McCarthy," Rose said, "Hundreds of voung people "Hundreds of young people worked hard for Sen. McCarthy. I propose to utilize the college YDC as a forum and use their thinking to put new life in the Young Democratic Clubs." "We need to make a home for these people who know how to think," Rose said that the North Car olina YDC is happy with the na tional ticket of Humphrey and Muskie. "I predict that Hubert Hum phrey will be the next president and that North Carolina will sup port Humphrey and he will car ry this state," he said. "People are beginning to realize that Wallace offers no positive pro gram and that Nixon offers inef fective solutions to the prob lens of the nation." Scott Endorsed By Star-News WILMINGTON The Star-News Newspapers of Wilmington have endorsed Lt Gov. Bob Scott for governor of North Carolina. Noting that many "vexing problems and challenges" confront the state, the Star- News said editorially Sunday it "has the utmost faith in Mr Scott's record and his sound promises to advance the state toward solution of these problems ahd challenges in the name of genuine progress." "We are deeply convinced he has the vital qualities « leadership, especially as to integrity, wisdom, and love for all his state, to convert his sincere words into constructive action," the paper added "Welcome to fjome Savings and Loan.
