Sen. Albert dubs Phase II as isolationist
WASHINGTON (UPI) —
House Speaker Carl Albert,
stepping up Democratic attacks
on President Nixon’s economic
policies, charged today the
administration program is iso
lationist and loaded in favor of
business.
The Oklahoma Democrat said
Nixon waited too long to put
into effect wage and price
controls, despite the fact he
was given the authority by
Justices
showdown
is near
WASHINGTON (UPI) -The
Senate began moving today to
fill the first of two vacancies on
the U.S. Supreme Court but
action on the second was
clouded by controversy and pre-
Christmas adjournment
maneuvering.
Debate opened on President
Nixon’s nomination of Lewis F.
Powell, with a vote scheduled
for 3 p.m. EST Monday. That
will be followed by a debate of
uncertain length on the second
nominee, William H. Rehnquist,
who is being challenged for his
viewpoints on individual free
doms and civil rights.
Powell’s nomination is uncon
tested and—despite his conser
vative judicial slant in the mold
President Nixon has established
for all his court nominees—
liberals said they would support
confirmation.
But Rehnquist continued to
come under attack from
senators who teamed up to
block Nixon’s earlier court
nominations of Clement F.
Haynsworth and G. Harrold
Carswell.
The decision to dispose of the
Powell nomination first was a
small tactical victory for
Rehnquist’s opponents and a
concession by his supporters.
Administration forces had at
tempted to present the two
nominations in a package
hoping that liberals would find
it difficult to delay Rehnquist’s
nomination if they knew it
would also delay Powell’s—and
thus leave the nine-member
court with two empty seats
indefinitely.
By confirming Powell first,
the Senate will be free to
consider the Rehnquist nomina
tion at its leisure and on its
own merits.
But Rehnquist's supporters,
in exchange for the concession,
won an ironclad promise from
Senate Democratic Leader
Mike Mansfield that the Senate
will act one way or another on
both of the nominations before
it adjourns. And Mansfield also
promised that the Senate would
concentrate on the Rehnquist
nomination—setting it aside
only for votes on non
controversial matters—until the
vote.
“I do not expect a filibuster
in any way, shape or form,”
Mansfield said.
Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., who
is leading the opposition to
Rehnquist, said “I don’t want
to participate in any filibuster”
and indicated the opponents
would permit the confirmation
vote in the middle of next
week.
The lobbying campaign
against Rehnquist began in
earnest Friday with a letter
from Clarence Mitchell, Wash
ington director of the NAACP,
urging defeat of the 47-year-old
assistant attorney general.
“The nomination is a gratui
tous insult to black Americans,
especially the great majority
who lode to the court for
orderly redress of wrongs,”
Mitchell said. “The extent of
his participation in schemes to
deny Negroes the right to vote
in Phoenix elections is incredi
ble.”
Truckers’
hiring code
WASHINGTON (UPI) -The
Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission has asked the
Interstate Commerce Commis
sion to stop 15,000 interstate
trucking firms from discrimin
ating against women, blacks
and Spanish-surnamed Ameri
cans in their hiring practices.
* The equal employment group
contended there was a “shame
ful pattern” in the trucking
industry of excluding women
and racial minority groups
from atf but the lowest-paying
jobs.
Congress early in 1971.
“I think the President has a
certain inferiority complex
about what he is going to do,”
Albert said. “He talks awfully
big and then reverses himself.”
Earlier in the year Nixon said
he would not use the authority.

Albert made his remarks on
the television public affairs
program “Ask Congress,”
which is hosted by Rep. Lester
Wolff, D-N.Y., and distributed
independently to television sta
tions around the country. Albert
said the Nixon economic
program discriminated against
working people to the benefit of
business and through its foreign
trade provisions threatened to
isolate the United States.
Albert also faulted adminis
tration policies for failing to
match government efforts at
dampening inflation with corre
sponding steps to bring down
unemployment.

Vice President Spiro T.
Agnew in a speech Friday night
to the National Association of
Manufacturers in New York
Page 5
defended administration poli
cies, describing the Democrats
as “ritual doomsayers,” and
asserting the economy is
beginning to boom.
“ ... the patient is not only
well, but vigorous and headed
for the best days of his life,”
Griffin Daily News Sat. and Sun., Dec. 4-5,1971
Agnew said.
Agnew said real output of the
economy rose from the second
to third quarter this year at a
3.9 per cent annual rate,
compared with a 2.4 per cent
increase from the second
quarter of 1970 to the second
quarter of 1971. He also cited
what he said was a 40 per cent
increase in housing starts this
year and a record rate of new
car sales.
“What President Nixon seeks
is a true prosperity; not a
Democratic Wehrmacht pros
perity based on this country’s
involvement in war, but a
prosperity-with-peace,” Agnew
said.
