Bell, the most controversial of
Carter’s nominees for Cabinet
posts, told the judiciary panel
that if he is confirmed as
attorney general he wiU vigor
ously enforce civil rights and
antitrust laws.
As Bell was defending his
record as a federal appellate
court judge, other Carter nomi
nees were getting gentler treat
ment from other Senate com
mittees.
Harold Brown, designated by
Carter as defense secretary,
testified before the Senate
Armed Services Committee and
was to return today for a closed
door session; Secretary of
State-designate Cyrus R. Vance
had an easy time with the
Foreign Relations Com
mittee,and Rep. Bob Bergland,
chosen for agriculture secre
tary, had a friendly reception
from the Senate Agriculture
Committee.
Charles L. Schultze, named to
the Cabinet-level post of chair
man of the Council of Economic
Advisers, met with no oppo
sition from the Senate Banking
Committee.
Bell, whose selection by Car
ter sparked criticism from a
number of black leaders, civil
rights groups and liberal organ
izations, worked on Tuesday to
assure the judiciary panel that
as attorney general he would
carry out the letter of the law in
desegregation cases.
He was questioned about his
involvement in the period of re
sistance to desegregation of
Georgia schools in the 1950 s
when he served as a legal ad
viser to the governor of the
state.
He said of that period, “I was
always trying to carry out court
orders, I was always trying to
save public education. It may
be we delayed, but we never
defied the law.”
At the time, before he became
a judge on the sth U.S. Circuit
Court, Bell was adviser to
Georgia Gov. Ernest Vandiver,
who won election in 1958 after
vowing to keep the state’s
schools segregated.
Callaway
probe
dropped
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Justice Department will not
prosecute President Ford’s for
mer campaign manager, How
ard “Bo” Callaway, for an al
leged conflict of interest in
volving his ski resort in Colora
do.
The department notified Cal
laway Tuesday that after six
months, it was dropping its in
vestigation and had no plans to
pursue it. Asst. Atty. Gen.
Richard Thornburgh made the
letter to Callaway public.
Callaway was traveling Tues
day and could not be reached
for comment, his son said by
telephone from Mount Crested
Butte, Colo.
One of his attorneys, Brian
Gettings, said, “We knew it
would end up this way from the
beginning, but we are a little
disappointed it took so long.”

Delta seeking decision
ATLANTA (AP) — Delta Air Lines officials are calling
for a speedy decision on the airline’s quest for nonstop
flights between Atlanta and London.
The Civil Aeronautics Board granted authority for the
flights last July, but the case was sent back to the board
by President Ford.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Delta said new hearings
on the question, which were requested by other airlines,
“will only produce repetition.”
Mayor testifies
ATLANTA (AP) — The mayor of Tallapoosa testified in
federal court Tuesday that he transferred property to his
wife because of an agreement with her that “I’d never get
involved in the whisky business again.”
Mayor Alta Sam Dryden, 57, has been accused by the
Internal Revenue Service of transferring the property in
1968 to avoid taxes.
Dryden told U.S. District Court Judge Albert J. Hender
son he made the agreement with his wife after he was ac
cused of violating state liquor laws.
Dryden is one of 32 defendants in a case involving
alleged conspiracy to steal gasoline from interstate
pipelines in Georgia and Alabama. The tax trial is
unrelated to that case.
Jewish nation outraged
over Daoud’s release
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) - Is
rael has recalled its ambassa-
dor to France temporarily as an
expression of the Jewish na
tion’s outrage at the release of
Abu Daoud, the alleged com
mander of the Palestinian at
tack at the 1972 Munich Olym- *
pics in which 11 Israeli athletes
were killed.
The French government tried
to shift the blame to West Ger
many for the decision to let the
Palestinian leader go on Tues
day. French officials said the
Bonn government did not follow
the proper extradition proce
dure by confirming a Munich
judge’s request for extradition
of Daoud.
West German officials said
they regretted France’s deci
sion. “The fight against inter
national terrorism has not be
come easier,” said the Justice
Ministry.
The U.S. State Department
condemned the French action.
“Our dismay reflects our ab
horrence over the brutal and
mindless murders at Munich
and our strong conviction that
terrorists should be dealt with
sternly and firmly by legal au
thorities of all countries,” a
spokesman said.
Israeli Foreign Minister Yig
al Allon told the Knesset, Is
rael’s parliament, that France
had ignored international
agreements on extradition and
on curbing terrorism.
“The question arises, ‘What is
the significance and validity of
agreements to France?”’ Allon
asked.
Widows and parents of the Is
raelis killed at Munich held a
protest meeting in Mimi Wein
berg’s Tel Aviv apartment,
