Committee okays Carswell nomination
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Senate Judiciary Committee overwhelmingly approved Monday the Supreme Court nomination of Judge G. Harrold Carswell. Debate on his confirmation in the full Senate could begin sometime next week.
The vote was 13 to 4 with the opposition coming from the committee's four Democratic liberals. Sen. Marlowe Cook, R-Ky., abstained when the committee voted but was given permission to vote
later and cast his ballot in Carswell's favor.
Sen. James O. Eastland, D-Miss., committee chairman, predicted the Senate would approve President Nixon's nomination of the Tallahassee, Fla., federal appeals court judge by a 2-1 margin.
The committee, said Eastland, agreed to give the four dissidents 10 days to file a minority report and would then formally send the nomination to the Senate floor.
The Senate leadership could then call up the nomination for debate the day after it was received.
Eastland said he and another committee member, Sen. Roman L. Hruska, R-Neb., telephoned congratulations to Carswell at Tallahassee.
In Florida, Carswell said, "I am grateful for the favorable vote of the Judiciary Committee in the exercise of its important responsibility." But there would be no celebration, Carswell told news-
men, until after the full Senate votes.
The four dissenting votes came from Sens. Philip A. Hart, Michigan; Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts; Joseph D. Tydings, Maryland; and Birch Bayh, Indiana.
Asked about chances of defeating the nomination on the Senate floor, Tydings replied, "It will be very difficult."
But the liberals did force one concession in the committee. They refused to let the nomination come to a vote on a constitutional amendment—opposed by Eastland—providing for direct election of Presidents. The panel
agreed to vote on that measure April 24.
Opposition to Carswell had centered around a 1948 Georgia political speech in which he vowed to uphold white supremacy; his part in the 1956 conversion of a public golf course threatened by court-ordered integration to a private club; and accusations he has abused civil rights lawyers and litigants while he was a federal district judge.
Ten winning pieces from the 1969 Sterling Silver Design Competition are being shown at KU in the Museum of Art. The display will be shown until Feb. 20.

Carswell, however, repudiated his white supremacy speech, denied any racial motivation in joining the golf club, and denied he was ever hostile to any lawyers in his court.
The hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind pieces represent the best work done by student silversmiths today.
The first prize winner is a chess set featuring sterling symbols representing the king, queen, bishop, knight and rook set upon tapered plastic cones which peg into a chess board of inlaid teak and walnut squares.
The Competition, sponsored by the Sterling Silversmiths Guild of America, encourages design
students at the college, technical and graduate level to apply their talents to objects of sterling silver.
The KU exhibit is part of a nation-wide tour, during which the prize-winning designs will be displayed at leading schools and stores in major cities across the country.

The security watch was prompted by an anonymous telephone tip that a bomb would be placed in the Gold Coast apartment house where the judge lives. A search turned up no bomb.
Campbell denied their motion but gave them permission to leave the proximity of the federal building and go to the jail, six miles away to confer with the defendants.
Kunstler and Weinglass, who also drew contempt sentences for their conduct in the tumultuous $4\frac{1}{2}$ month trial but remained free for the present, went before chief Judge William J. Campbell to get their clients out of jail and to the federal building for consultations.
Kunstler told reporters work had begun on an appeal of all the contempt sentences. The sentences ranged in duration from four years and 13 days for Kunstler himself to two months and 18 days for Lee Weiner, known as the quietest of the defendants.

The seven men—all antiwar militants—were tried on charges of conspiring to incite riots in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. If convicted on the charges, they face prison terms of up to 10 years in prison and $20,000 fines.
The defendants are David Dellinger and Rennie Davis, leaders of the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam; Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, leaders of the Youth International Party Yippies; Tom Hayden, a co-organizer of the Students for a Democratic Society—SDS; and university professors John Froines and Weiner.
While the "Chicago Seven" sweated out the verdict in the jail, members of their families and friends kept a watch in courthouse corridors of nearby Christ the King Lutheran church.
David Stuhr, York, Neb., senior in the department of design, assembled the show, Stuhr conferred with the executive vice president of the Sterling Silversmiths Guild in New York during semester break to have the display sent to KU, he said.
KU is the first University in the nation to have a silversmithing major, said Dr. Carlyle Smith, head of the department of design. KU is also the first University to have a master's degree in jewelry and silversmithing, Smith said.
With the display, Stuhr said he hopes to encourage more participation of the jewelry and silver-smithing department in national competition.
