Panetta booted; four quit
Civil rights office in turmoil
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Civil rights attorney wrote President Nixon Tuesday that the ouster of Leon E. Panetta suggested that his administration "has grown insensitive to the cause of enforcing equal rights."
Two more of the attorneys quit in protest of the ouster.
The number of resignations from the civil rights office of the Health, Education and Welfare department grew to four as J. Stanley Pottinger, a young California lawyer, was named to succeed Panetta as chief of the HEW civil rights office.
The latest resignations were from Paul Rillings, a Johnson Administration holdover in charge of the Atlanta regional office, and Peter Gall, information director for the Washington office.
Rillings called the Nixon administration's school desegregation policy "one of vacillation and non-leadership." A letter of protest to Nixon signed by 125 HEW civil rights lawyers said "it is our conviction that developments in the nation have progressed to the stage when issues
School welfare bill approved
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The House Tuesday approved Senate changes in the once-vetoed school-welfare money bill, assuring congressional approval of a $19.4 billion measure acceptable to President Nixon. The vote was 324 to 55.

Bachelor party nearly upsets honeymoon fun
Konnocki was arrested Saturday but Chapas delayed his hearing so the defendant could be married that day. Konnocki showed up in court Tuesday with his bride and the judge told her: "It's up to you now to keep him out of trouble. Use a rolling pin if you have to."
PITTSBURGH (UP) — Police Magistrate John W. Chapas waited until the honeymoon was over before he fined Richard Konnocki $25 plus $11 costs Tuesday for disorderly conduct after his bachelor's party.

the bill as it was approved earlier by the Senate. In the first, the House voted 228 to 152 to instruct its conferees in a House-Senate conference committee to agree to the Senate version.
Then the conferees met, went through the motions, and brought back the bill to the House for its formal approval. Next it was hurried across the Capitol to the Senate, where quick approval was certain.
The Senate planned to take up the measure the first thing Wednesday.
House approval came after Nixon gave assurance he would sign the measure if it passed the House in the same form that was
approved by the Senate. This version gives Nixon authority to withhold spending of up to 2 per cent of funds allocated to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
The measure contains appropriations amounting to $19.4 billion, but provides that the President can actually spend only about $19 billion. It replaces a bill totaling $19.7 billion which Nixon rejected as inflationary.
Even now, the bill carries about $700 million more than Nixon originally requested. But he sent word to the House through the GOP leader Gerald R. Ford that he was willing to sign it.

affecting race relations can no longer be subverted in deference to expediency. . . . "
But HEW Secretary Robert H. Finch, announcing Pottinger's selection, said "Stan Pottinger joins me as committed unequivocally to the enforcement of constitutional and statutory law relating to civil rights."
Pottinger, a 30-year-old native of Dayton, Ohio, has been with the HEW regional civil rights office in San Francisco since last year and has been active in Republican politics there for seven years.
Like Panetta, who was forced out of the job last week, Pottinger will serve as a special assistant to Finch in addition to heading HEW's office of civil rights. Finch combined the positions so that the Department's desegregation compliance operations are reported directly to him.
Unsigned copies of the protest letter to Nixon were made available to reporters at HEW. It was understood the letter was signed by professional persons as well as clerks and secretaries, but it was not known if any high-ranking officials signed it.
Mexican peasants prepare festival to celebrate eclipse
MIAHUATLAN, Mexico (UPI) —Peasants in sandals and straw hats swarmed through the "Eclipse 70" festival Tuesday, assured by the local priest the world will not end during Saturday's solar eclipse.
To calm fears that the brief blackout would be an evil sign, the Rev. Reinaldo Rodriguez mounted his pulpit and told a hushed crowd:
"I give thanks to God that you understand that the eclipse is a natural phenomenon and that even the scientists don't know
when the end of the world is coming."
Hundreds of peasants from all sections of Oaxaca State trudged across the town's one paved street to see the festival, mostly handicrafts and regional dances, and to try to sell their own wares to thousands of tourists.
An estimated 500 astronomers from 14 nations have arrived in Miahuatlan, 62 miles south of Oaxaca. The town has been transformed into an international scientific center because of its cloudless skies and strategic location.
