Goldwater asks Senate to repeal War Powers
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., called yesterday for repeal of the War Powers Resolution, warning that it can "encourage and incite" enemies to move against America's vital interests.
"In order to avoid a terrible constitutional confrontation at some time of grave international crisis in the future, when a firm and prompt United States response is required, I believe we should repeal the War Powers Resolution now," the veteran conservative lawmaker said.
Under the resolution, a spin-off from the Vietnam War, a president is required to notify Congress within 48 hours that he has sent troops into certain combat situations. They must be withdrawn within 90 days unless Congress declares war or approves the action.
"It attempts to deny flexibility to the president in defense of American citizens and their freedoms," Goldwater said. "Even if it were not unconstitutional, the War Powers resolution is impractical and dangerous."
Goldwater, dean of Republican conservatives, said in a Senate speech that the resolution "may cause hesitation at times" when immediate action is necessary.
"It may encourage and incite the country's adversaries to take action harmful to the vital interests of the American people in the belief that the president will not be able to carry out a response to foreign threats," he said.
Goldwater is a longtime critic of the War Powers Resolution but his Senate speech took on added significance, coming a day after Secretary of State George Shultz denounced the act and in turn criticized it. He also more military aid for El Salvador and for anti-government forces in Nicaragua.
Shultz, speaking to the Trilateral Commission, an international foreign policy group, said the War Powers Act would give the United States an invite and a adversary to wait us out."
Shultz said that in Lebanon "our military role was hamstring by legislative and other inhibitions. The Israeli government is resisted in diplomatic compromise."
Goldwater charged that when Congress approved the War Powers Resolution and claimed control over military actions, "it brought humiliation upon the United States and damaged our position in the world."
He said congressional restrictions led to the collapse of South Vietnam, to genocide in Cambodia and to the loss of Laos.

Policemen found not guilty in Massachusetts rape trial
NEWBURYPORT, Mass. — Two Lynn police officers were not guilty yesterday of charges that they took turns raping a woman in a bar after buying her half a dozen drinks.
The Essex Superior Court jury also acquitted the owner of the pub, who faced the same charge of aggravated rape under the state's joint venture law even though experience knowledge that he did not participate.
After 10 hours of deliberations over two days, the seven-man, five-woman jury found officers Edward Jackson and Unree Poulitzin Jr. and pub owner Stephen Harden not guilty in the Nov. 23,
1983, incident at Ye Ole Ox Pub in a working class neighborhood of Lynn, a suburb about 10 miles north of Boston.
Pooleintz and Jackson showed little emotion as court clerk Jack Greiner read the verdicts, but Harden wiped tears from his eyes.
The 21-year-old mother had testified that Jackson, 11, and Poellnitz, 34, drove her and a companion to the bar, where they bought her drinks until she passed out and then took turns raping her.
The three defendants were charged with aggravated rape and with drugging a woman for sexual intercourse. If they had been convicted, they could have been sentenced to a maximum of life in prison for aggravated rape and three years for the drugging charge.
Former Texas official says he believes Estes
By United Press International
DALLAS — The man who was Texas attorney general in 1962 when the death of a federal agriculture official was investigated, said he believed the story was that his widower Bille Sol Estes estates lyndon Lyndon B. Johnson ordered the slapping.
Will Wilson, 70, who was Texas attorney general in 1962, could not be reached for further comment on the case in yesterday's Dallas Morning News.
The newspaper quoted Wilson as saying that federal officials did not cooperate in the state's investigation of Henry Marshall of Bryan, Texas.
Marshall's body was found on his
hair near the central Texas town of
Franklin. He had been shot five times with a belt-action rifle, and his body was found in the woods.
Despite that evidence, the death was ruled a suicide. A 1962 grand jury failed to overturn the ruling, but last month. Estes testified under immunity before Robertson County grand jury, and the death was reclassified as a homicide.
Estes has refused to comment on his testimony, but grand jury sources said that he told jurors he was present when Johnson and two other men plotted to have Marshall killed. They did not want him back, and their aides to fraudulent cotton leases.
Reports of Estes' testimony drew criticism from public officials and former Johnson aides who pointed out the misuse of a testifying motion made his testimony questionable.

"You know what I think?"
"I think that Lady Campbell's is the greatest.
I think that if a woman wants fabulous fashions, then this is the place to look. And I think that shopping at Lady Campbell's is a woman's best insurance against poor quality.
And you know what else? I think this unconstructed knockabout
blazer I'm wearing was a steal at $64.
And this indian cotton skirt cost me $43, and it was worth every penny.
In fact, I think that Lady Campbell's is a neat little shop just packed with a great selection of great clothes at great prices.
And if you come down and look for
like I think.
And that's what
I think."
