Oath-taking ceremonies will be held Jan. 7 for Lewis F. Powell of Virginia, who re ceived a Senate confirmation vote of 89 to 1, and William H.

East land, D-Miss., of the Senate Judiciary Committee, a leader of the fight to gain confirmation for Rehnquist, told a law school in a home state speech last week: “I am hopeful that we are in the process of achieving a better balance on the court. That is what the fights on the court nominations have been all about.” He predicted the court may display more “judicial restraint” after Jan. 7 on cases involving “pornography, school desegregation and criminal laws ...” Some observers believe the issue of forced school busing and the public pressure it has created was alone responsible for the Powell and Rehnquist confirmations. Rep. Roman C. Pucinski, D- 111., a member of the House Education and Labor Commit tee, predicted the court will reject the concept of busing to achieve racial balance. If the court gets an appropriate case, Pucinski believes it will restore the original school desegrega tion decision of 1954. In that case, Brown vs. Topeka, Pucinski said, the court merely held there could not be separate schools for whites and blacks and school districts must be fairly drawn. The requirements that each school must have a balanced racial composition has been added since, he said. The administration has given no indication of what it will do if the issue spreads to the presidential race. Last August the President repeated earlier public state ments that he opposed busing children from one school zone to another solely for the sake of racial balance. kJ ■ Hr ■ .'
