Fortas refuses comment on controversy over fee
BOSTON (UPI) — In his first public appearance since Life Magazine disclosed he received and later returned a $20,000 fee, Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas last night adamantly and repeatedly refused to talk about the controversy surrounding him.
"No, no, no, no, no." Fortas mumbled, shaking his head, as he ran to a waiting limousine flanked by guards and surrounded by dozens of newsmen after a speech at Northeastern University.
The justice got a laugh from the packed auditorium, however, when he glanced down at the 25 reporters seated at tables below him and quipped, "I'm surprised all these cameramen came here to take my picture at an ordinary lecture. I can't imagine why all this interest."
In his speech—in which he put in a good word for the establishment and urged both generations to perfect the current "great social revolution"the justice did not mention the fee.

after Life magazine charged last Sunday he had received and returned a $20,000 fee from the family foundation of financier Louis E. Wolfson, now imprisoned for stock manipulation.
Fortas said in his address the "square" generation had begun the current revolution and young people should be given a chance to participate in it.
Fortas said a visit to a college is now regarded as a "safari to a land inhabited by long-haired,
long-fanged, unkempt beasts who are ready to attack anybody wearing a blue suit and necktie."
He said it is "too bad—and it's dangerous" that many older people lump together all campus malcontents and oppose selective reforms. But he said it is equally bad that many younger people "have such a distorted impression of what it is fashionable to call the 'establishment.'"
