WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif., Monday joined a steadily-growing group of Senate liberals and announced he would vote against the Supreme Court nomination of Judge G. Harrold Carswell.
CBS to keep notes private
Cranston was the 17th senator
NEW YORK (UPI)—CBS News correspondent Mike Wallace and producer Paul Loewenwater have refused to discuss their investigation of the Black Panthers with the Justice Department and probably would refuse to do so under subpoena by a federal grand jury, it was disclosed Monday.
Wallace said he and Loewenwater had been asked to sit down and talk voluntarily with Justice Department Officials about a program they did on the Black Panthers, but that they had refused.
"I said it would be a fishing expedition." Wallace said.
Senator to vote on Carswell
The two men have retained attorney Jay Topkis to represent them in the matter in the belief that they might be subpoenaed by a New Haven, Conn., federal grand jury investigating Panther activities. Topkis said his clients might appear before the jury but merely to inform it they will not answer questions.
Wallace said he received a visit from an FBI agent almost a year ago when he and Loewenwater first started to work on a report on the Black Panthers. He said the agent asked him to pass on to the FBI any information he obtained on the Panthers.
CBS News President Richard S. Salant said he was apprehensive as a result of the requests for information from Wallace and Loewenwater. He said the requests were "less than reassuring" in view of Attorney General John N. Mitchell's promise Feb. 5 of "prior negotiations" with communications media on requests for confidential information.
to publicly commit himself against President Nixon's nominee to the high tribunal. More are expected.
Thirteen senators have endorsed Carswell so far, and Senate GOP leader Hugh Scott has predicted his nomination will be approved with only 15 to 20 votes against it.
At the same time, Carswell's detractors pointed to a new report from Florida, showing that the U.S. Appeals Court judge chartered an all-white booster club for Florida State University.
The report said that on Dec. 16, 1953, five months after Carlswell became U.S. attorney for the Tallahassee area, a nonprofit club was approved and recorded on the basis of his sworn affidavit.
The charter stated that "the qualifications of members shall be any white person interested in
the purposes and objectives for which this corporation is created."
At the time Carswell and others signed as subscribers and charter members, Carswell was still in private law practice but the document was not submitted to the Circuit Court until the following December by which time Carswell was U.S. attorney.
On the basis of earlier disclosures about Carswell's background, Cranston said "there is nothing in Judge Carswell's subsequent record to show that he has changed the white supremacy views he held as a young political candidate.
The All-Student Council appropriated over 43 per cent of its 1958-59 to Associated Women Students.
