Ex-White House officials
suggest more open policy
By WALT SMITH
ATLANTA (UPI) - Two for
mer White House officials
Wednesday urged the Nixon ad
ministration to be more open
with the news media as away
of restoring sagging credibility.
Former Attorney General El
liot Richardson, who was fired
by Nixon for his refusal to dis
miss special Watergate prose
cutor Archibald Cox, said Pres
ident Nixon has viewed Water
gate in defensive terms, instead
of trying to restore confidence
in his administration.
“Today there is a need to be
informed, a need for credibility
greater than ever,” Richardson
told the American Society of
Newspaper Editors meeting
here. “The only way of meet

Blind Corner
Alex dutifully halted his car at
the stop sign. At that point, which
was about 30 feet back from the
corner, his vision of the intersec
tion was blocked by some high
bushes. Nevertheless, he moved
briskly into the crossing.
Result: a collision with a car
coming along the other street.
Was Alex guilty of negligence?
He insisted that he was not, point
ing out in a court hearing that he
had brought his car to a full stop
at the sign.
“That’s all the law requires,”
he said. “I stopped. looked, and
'listened at the designated place.”
But the court found him guilty
of negligence anyhow. The court
said a “blind” corner imposes an
extra duty on motorists—regard
less of stop signs or traffic signals
—to proceed with caution.
The law does recognize, how
ever, that caution is a matter of
degree. For example:
Another man also entered an
intersection that he could not see
because of shrubbery. But this
time, the man edged forward at a
snail’s pace, glancing in both di
rections. Even though he still got
in the way cf an oncoming car
and caused a collision, a court
ruled afterward that he could not
be held legally liable.
"The law does not require the
impossible,” said the court. “One
cannot be held guilty of negligence
because he is unable to see through
impenetrable objects or to bend
his vision around them.”
What about the responsibility
for making the intersection blind
in the first place? Unless a special
statute so provides, the local gov
ernment ordinarily cannot be held
liable for this kind of hazard.
However, courts have occasion
ally placed the blame on a private
property owner who has brought
such an obstruction into existence.
Liability has been based on the
theory that the condition of his
premises could foreseeably cause
some luckless motorist, some day,
to get hurt.

ing this crisis of confidence is
by greater emphasis on inform
ing people and getting the truth.
“We must insist in dealing
with those that represent us that
they tell us the truth. This, I
feel, means that we put a po
litical premium on openness and
truth,” he said.
Richardson said Watergate
was more serious than previous
instances of corruption in gov
ernment because it dealt with
abuses of the electoral process
itself.
“It has involved the abuse of
power ... by those in a posi
tion to intrude upon our lives

specifically mentioning abuses
of the FBI and the Internal
Revenue Service.
“The only restorer of confi
dence is scrupulous. . .honesty,”
he said.
Herbert Klein, one-time White
House Communications Di
rector, told the newspaper edi
tors it is time for the White
House and the press to “call off
the war” they have been wag
ing and get on with informing
the public.
“Call off ’the war by
the White House with more,
frank news conferences,” he
urged. “Call off the emotions
which are a part of every news
conference.”
Appearing on a panel discus
sion, Klein said the White
House must earn the right to be
trusted, “not by rhetoric but by
deeds.”
Though he would not defend
Watergate, Klein said it is a
mistake to think that everyone
in the White House cannot be
trusted.
He said there is no question
“there was a misuse of power
by some in the White
House. There was pettiness by
some such as banning a society
reporter from covering some
functions.”
U. S. Rep. Andrew Young, D-
Ga., also addressed the annual
convention of newspaper
editors.
Palace of 1.00 l communications
A city within the City of Light
By Rosette Hargrove
PARIS - (NEA) - This
capital now boasts a super
modern “City-Within-a-City”
— the International Conven
tion Center, C.I.P.
It stands on five acres once
occupied by the old amuse
ment complex Luna Park,
which Parisians knew from
the beginning of the century
up until the outbreak of
World War 11.
The center is only a few
minutes walk from the Arc
de Triumph, the Champs
Elysees and the Bois de
Boulogne, with its renowned
outdoor restaurants and
boating lake.
Experts in the convention
business predicted that by
1985. international gather
ings would be drawing some
thing like 10 million people,
about four times' the figure
for the early 70s.
So Paris looked ahead and
decided to build the C.I.P.
The city donated this out
standing site and the Paris
Chamber of Commerce spon
sored the project.
Cost of this “Palace of the
Thousand and One Com
munications" is given as
around SIOO million.
Far in advance of its time
in design this complex, uni
que in Europe, can accom
modate 5,000 people and
afford every communication
facility that modern tech
nology can offer.
The grand auditorium is
the heart of the center.
Equipped with a stage
measuring over 1,800 square
feet, it also has an orchestral
pit which can accommodate
120 musicians and be raised
to floor level for concerts.
The giant hall can seat up
to 4,800 people but can also
be adjusted to a 1,500-seat
capacity. Each seat has six
language simultaneous
translating capacity.
Surrounding the main
conference hall on the first
level is a series of exhibition
halls. Here scientists, artists
and others may display their
works. About 100 offices and
business suites with adjoin
ing reception room are avail
al) 1 e to cons e renc e
organizers and businessmen
needing a Paris base tempo

transformed into small

of over 8100 million, houses boutiques, a post office, restaurants, theaters and a gym

conference rooms for 20 or 30
people.
The city-within-a-city is no
exaggeration.
With 80 boutiques in the
complex, there is no need to
rush around getting tired
out. Every gift problem or
personal need can be
satisfied without loss of time.
The shopping arcade in
cludes a Travel Bureau,
branches of the leading air
lines, a post office, bank,
hairdressers and the like.
And for relaxation, the
center has a gymnasium,
swimming pool and saunas,
as well as a discotheque, a
“brasserie" which stays open
until the wee hours and four
cinemas showing the latest
films from many countries.
Multilingual hostesses are
on hand, as well as act as
shopping counsels.
Nothing, it seems, has been
forgotten. A competent
medical service is on hand 24
hours a day.
An equally modern hotel,'
the Concord- La Fayelle,
dominates the C.I.P. with its
400-t'oot tower. A four-star
establishment of 1,000 rooms,
with superb views over
Paris, the Bois de Boulogne,
and the Defense skyscraper
area to the West.
