Nixon takes ’em on
By RICHARD LERNER
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (UPI)
— President Nixon paused
today in his Watergate recov

and assess the momentum after
a whirlwind week of appeals for
acceptance by Congress, the
public and the press of
evidence he says will clear him
of suspicion.
The President took the time
out at his home here after
drawing a highly sympathetic

“We’ve got to take ‘em on,”
the White House chief of staff,
Alexander M. Haig Jr., told
reporters traveling with the
President in referring to critics
of Nixon.
Nixon focused on national
defense and did not mention
Watergate during a 20-minute
speech in Macon Sunday where
he took part in ceremonies
marking the 90th birthday of
former Rep. Carl M. Vinson, D-
Ga., longtime chairman of the
House Armed Services Commit

of Mercer University’s law

GOP leader pleased
with Nixon reception
By DUNNE ECK
MACON, Ga. (UPI) - State
Republican Chairman Robert
Shaw says President Nixon’s
enthusiastic reception Sunday
buoyed the state GOP as well
as Nixon because it showed
“the people are really behind
him.”
“It was tremendous,” Shaw
said of the estimated 25,000 to
30,000 persons who greeted the
President at nearby Robins Air
Force Base. “Everybody was
thrilled to death.”
Americans thought Nixon
“had hidden away, but he’s
coming out. He’s telling people
he’s got nothing to hide. He’s
showing them he has nothing to
hide," Shaw said.
Nixon was presented with
support petitions bearing close
to 40,000 names collected
throughout the state. “He
seemed to be really surprised,”
Shaw said.
Macon Mayor Ronnie Thomp
son agreed with Shaw that the
turnout “will do a lot for him
in the country.”
Thompson called the several
hundred students who jeered
and booed Nixon at the Mercer
University campus “rabble
rousers.” Thompson said he
was “confronted with the same
crowd three days ago” when he
the bugging scandal or any
related activities.
At one point, he was moved
to declare: “I made my
mistakes, but in all my years of
public life, I never profited
from public service...and in all
of my years of public life, I
have never obstructed justice...
I welcome this kind of
examination because people
have got to know whether or
not their President is a crook.
Well, I’m not a crook. I have
earned everything I have got.”
The President promised dur
ing the session with the
Associated Press Managing
Editors Association in Orlando,
Fla., that he soon would make
public assorted documents,
including a rundown on his
personal financial records.

Mansfield wants
Richardson called
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen
ate Majority Leader Mike
Mansfield says key figures in
the growing dispute over the
resignation of former Attorney
General Elliot L. Richardson
should be called to testify on
Capitol Hill “pronto.”
Mansfield said White House
Chief of Staff Alexander Haig
should be called before the
Senate Judiciary Committee to
testify without executive
privilege. He added that Rich
ardson and former Special
Watergate Prosecutor Ar
chibald Cox “should also be
called before the Judiciary
Committee pronto. ”
Mansfield was interviewed
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the
Press.”
The dispute is over just what
Richardson’s position was in
the days leading up to last Oct.
20, when Cox was fired by the
administration and Richardson
resigned.
President Nixon and Haig
reportedly raised the issue in a
series of Watergate briefings
for members of Congres last
week. According to accounts of
some of the legislators, Nixon
and Haig said that Richardson
first agreed to the firing of Cox,
then changed his mind. Accord
ing to other accounts Richard
son initially agreed to restrict
Cox from seeking further
presidential documents and
then changed his mind.
Time magazine reproduced
what was said to be one of
these White House exchanges,
beginning when Sen. Charles H.
Percy, R-111., asked about the
Cox firing. Nixon, according to
Time, asked Haig to respond,
and Haig told the group that
Richardson had originated the
idea to halt all further efforts
by Cox to seek documents
through the courts. Time then
quoted this conversation:
“But General (Haig),” ob
jected Sen. Charles McC.
Mathias Jr. “That contradicts
Elliot’s sworn testimony.”
Nixon: But he wasn’t telling
the truth.
Mathias: But Mr. President,
he was under oath.

WARNER ROBINS — Former Ga. Congressman Carl

Nixon, who announced a nuclear powered aircraft carrier

going to get him for perjury, do
you?
Richardson has testified that
he supported a proposed
compromise plan to have Sen.
John C. Stennis, D-Miss., verify
the authenticity of tapes to be
released, but that he felt the
proposal should not further
restrict Cox.
Richardson also has said he
resigned rather than comply
with an order to fire Cox
because “I did not agree with
the decisions which brought
about the necessity for the
issuance of that order.”
The Washington Post report
ed Sunday that seven docu
ments turned over to the
Judiciary Committee by Rich
ardson appeared to support his
version rather than the one
atributed to Nixon and Haig.
For example, it said, a three
page version of the proposed
compromise, dated Oct. 17, and
drafted by Richardson, made
no mention of restricting Cox
from further access to docu
ments. A two-page Cox memo
the next day objected to the
compromise on grounds it did
not establish his right to further
evidence, the Post said.
In other developments:
—President Nixon is to begin
turning over his Watergate
tapes to U.S. District Court this
week. Under procedures
worked out between White
House lawyers and Chief U.S.
District Judge John J. Sirica,
Nixon must deliver to Sirica on
Tuesday a “written descriptive
analysis and index” of materi
als to be given the court On
Wednesday a panel of experts
picked by the White House and
prosecutors will begin listening
to seven tapes to verify they
were not tampered with.
—Aides said President Nixon
was “heartened” by the reac
tion he has heard so far to his
news confernence in Orlando,
Fla., before Associated Press
managing editors Saturday, in
which he declared “I am not a
crook.”
—Rep. Jerome Waldie, D-
Calif., one of those who had
introduced a legislation for
Nixon’s impeachment, said the
President “did well” in his
Orlando news conference but
“an awful lot more needs to be
explained.”
—But Sen. Daniel Inouye, a
member of the Senate Water
gate committee, said in Beverly
Hills, Calif., Sunday that as a
result of Watergate the United
States has been left “without a
leader” and “other countries
might take advantage of this
vacuum ”
Vinson says tribute
evening tide of his life
By KAY BROWN
MACON, Ga. (UPI)-For for
mer Georgia Congressman Carl
Vinson, the visit from President
Nixon and ceremonies Sunday
marking his 90th birthday were
“the evening tide of my life.”
Vinson, a power in the U.S.
House of Representatives for 50
years, received a signal honor
when Nixon announced that the
country’s third nuclear aircraft
carrier will be named for him.
It is the first time a major
Navy vessel has been named
for a still living individual and
only the sixth U. S. aircraft car
rier to bear a distinguished
American’s name.
“No event in my life and no
event in the future could equal
this day,” Vinson said, standing
erect and speaking clearly de
spite his 90 years. “A man goes
beyond his greatest dreams
when he has friends like this.”
He praised Nixon as a “distin
guished and revered president”
who has kept the nation “second
to none in national defense.. .and
has provided strong leadership
in a new era of negotiating for
peace.”
“He had the backbone it took
to lead America out of Vietnam
withhonorandbring prisoners of
war safely home,” Vinson said.
“He is a President who knows
that peace does not mean weak
ness.”
“Next to his country and next
to his state of Georgia, Carl Vin
son loved the Navy most,” Pres
ident Nixon said. He later pre
sented Vinson with a model of
the aircraft carrier.
Two other nuclear carriers,
bearing the names of former
President Dwight Eisenhower
and World War II fleet Adm.
Chester W. Nimitz, are already
under construction.
The U.S.S. Vinson will be pow
ered by two nuclear reactors
and will have a length of 1,092
feet, a flight deck of four acres,
and a crew of 5,722 men. It will
be commissioned in 1980.

Talmadge, who also spoke dur
ing the ceremonies, said Vinson
“more than any other individual
in history,” molded the defense
system “that made America the
world’s supreme super power.
“Carl Vinson came to Con
gress when the Springfield Rifle
was our nation’s principal wea
pon," Talmadge said. “Under
his leadership, the country’s de
fense establishment evolved
from horse and buggy days to
the modern era of the Polaris
submarine and intercontinental
ballistic missile.”
Vinson, considered almost the
father of the modem American
Navy and Air Force, served as
chairman of the old House Nav
al Affairs Committee for 16
years until his retirement in
1964.
Vinson came to the House in
1914.
“Carl Vinson had never seen
a battleship until he achieved
prominence in the Congress,”
Talmadge said. “Yet, he was a
founding parent of the two-ocean
Navy, which became vital to our
nation’s survival during World
War 11.
“He did not like to fly in
airplanes. Yet, he was a
forceful and persuasive advo
cate of an expanded United
States Air Force, when it
became apparent to him . . .
that command of the skies in
the modern world was just as
important as command of the
seas a generation ago.”
