Twenty up-dated Aesop’s
Nervous Republicans
size up ’74 elections
WASHINGTON - The Wa
tergate controversy has cre
ated political problems which
are muddled to many observ
ers but essentially quite clear
to a small group of men in
Washington.
They are the senators who
must run for reelection next
year.
On one side are eight Re
publicans, all strong support
ers of President Nixon, who
essentially back his policies
but are fearful that any taint
of Watergate will drag them
down in contests of 1974.
Eight other senators, all
Democrats, would normally
be considered politically vul
nerable in the off-year elec
tions. Personally controver
sial, they all may be benefi
ciaries of the tangled issues
revolving around Watergate.
The 1974 elections will be
the first direct public opinion
poll on how the American
electorate views the first half
of President Nixon’s second
term. Political control of Con
gress is one of the President’s
cherished goals.
He now faces a Democratic
Senate with a 56-to-42-seat
majority. Two senators are
separately classified, James
Buckley of New York as a
conservative and Harry Byrd
of Virginia as an independent.
In the 1974 elections, 19
Democratic and 15 Republi
can seats will be in conten
tion. It takes a simple major
ity of partisan congressmen to
achieve control and dictate
the course of legislation in ei
ther House.
For many reasons, the Re
publican senators are gravely
concerned about how the elec
torate will respond to Water-

Key Republicans in the
drama are Marlow Cook of
Kentucky, Bob Dole of Kan
sas, Peter Dominick of Colo
rado, Barry Goldwater of Ari
zona, Edward Gurney of Flo
rida, Jacob Javits of New
York, Charles Mathias of
Maryland and William Saxbe
of Ohio.
They are incumbents who
anticipate strong challenges
next year, Watergate notwith
standing. They also are
among the earliest and
strongest GOP critics of
White House policies in han
dling Watergate inquiries.
Aho up for challenge next
year are Democrats Birch
Bayh of Indiana, Frank
Church of Idaho, Alan Cran
ston of California, Thomas
Eagleton of Missouri, Mike
Gravel of Alaska, George
McGovern of South Dakota,
Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin
and Adlai Stevenson of Illi
nois.
Political speculation now
centers in some quarters on
whether these men’s ques
tioned electability six months
ago has been altered by the
Watergate case.
If Watergate is the domi
nating issue that some polls
claim it to be, the Republicans
could stand to lose an unde
termined number of seats
they expected to hold by
strength of incumbency while
losing totally in any of the
challenges to marginal Dem
ocratic seats.
The Senate elects one-third
of its membership every two
years. Considering the num
ber of Democrats up for re
election and with the unknown

Watergate, many Republi
cans are saying the 1974 elec
tions could produce a land
slide sweep for Democrats on
the Senate side.
Any significant shift of
seats, they contend, would put
philosophical control of the
Senate out of reach for Mr.
Nixon during the remainder
of his term and place the par
ty in a disadvantageous posi
tion when it must choose a
new presidential nomineee in
1976.
The Watergate incident,
whatever its spilloff, is now
proving to be the potential
telling element in the individ
ual Senate races.
Although the opposition has
not surfaced as yet, it appears
particularly to affect such Re
publicans as Cook, Dole,
Dominick and Gurney.

False arrest record
ever really removed?
By E. J. DEMSON, JD
Copley News Service
Legal Way recently an
swered a letter from the state
of Washington asking whether
a record of false arrest could
be eradicated from the police
files and how this could be
done.
I replied that the Washing
ton State Appellate Court (487
P.2d 211) in 1971 affirmed an
order to police to eradicate (in
law expunge) a false arrest
record of a resident of the
State. It can be done by an ap
plication to the court which
ruled a false arrest.
This court’s order brought a
verbal blast from a Texas
lawyer addressed to me, not
in disagreement with the
court’s order, but with what
the police do with such an or
der after it is granted.
Before you read what the
Texas lawyer says, our pur
pose here is to inform what
the court does about a viola
tion of its order. If convincing
proof is presented to the court
its order was violated, the
head of the enforcement
agency is held accountable as
being in contempt of court.
This can bring a county jail
sentence, a fine, either or
both.
And now for the lawyer’s
letter: “The minute any law
enforcement agency in this
country gets your prints and
mug-shot, it is forwarded to
every other agency. You have
a number at the city, county
sheriff’s office, the depart
ment of safety and the FBI,
and you will have that number
the rest of your life.
“You can get your orders
from hell to breakfast, and
maybe you would get some
law enforcement agency to
bring in a set of prints and
pictures and destroy them,
but if you think they haven’t
got another copy held back,
your naivete is dangerous.
Law enforcement agencies
are a law unto themselves;
they neither know nor care
what the law is, and if they
conform to it, it is only inci
dental and accidental to their
operations, which they con
duct in their own way.
"If you persist in believing
that a police record can be
‘expunged; then I can only as
sume that you also believe in
Santa Claus.’”
And as for my “naivete”
and my “belief in Santa
Claus,” thank you counselor,
for the pause to recall those
delightful days when naivete
and Santa Claus gave life a
joyful flavor. Sorry, experi
ence as a practitioner, now
retired, in the court rooms for
nearly 25 years has eroded
some of that joy, but your
nudge revealed some still
abides.
Q. My wife and I live six
months of the year in Califor
nia and six months in Arizona.
If either one should pass away
in either state, which state
would have priority in probat
ing the wills? We keep the
originals and copies of the
wills with us at all times.
My sister, who lives in Ohio,
is named executrix in both
wills, but only if we should die
simultaneously. Is an out-of
state person permitted to be
the executrix?
A. Arizona law says a resi
dent in your situation may
have a will probated in Ari
zona if he is a resident of an
Arizona county and has prop
erty in that county at the time
of death (ARSI4-301). “Resi
dent” is defined as one who
intends to make Arizona his
domicile and has proof of that
intention, such as voting, or
paying taxes in Arizona.
The wills may be probated
in a California county if the
decedent has the greater part
of his estate there (Ca. Pro
bate Code 301).
