WASHINGTON <A>) _ Abe For-
tas’s critics zeroed in on a $15,000
lecture fee Wednesday as the Sen
ate plunged into full-scale debate
on his nomination to be chief
justice of the United States.
Sen. Robert P. Griffin, R-Mich.,
a leader in the fight against con
firmation of Fortas, did not con
tend there was anything illegal
about the payment but he said it
was “clearly wrong in principle.”
Other senators questioned the
propriety of the $15,000 paid to
Fortas for conducting a seminar
at the American University law
school here last summer.
Democratic Leader Mike Mans
field of Montana, who backed
President Johnson’s June 26 nom
ination of Associate Justice For
tas to succeed Earl Warren as
chief justice, termed Fortas’s ac
ceptance of the fee unfortunate.
It was unfortunate, Mansfield
said, because “it breaches the ex
traordinary insulation which must
exist between the Supreme Court
and other branches of the govern
ment and private business.”
Senate leaders pushed aside all
other business including the $71.9-
billion defense appropriation bill
and the nuclear nonproliferation
treaty to m®et the simmering
Fortas appointment headon.
“Rather than keep the Senate
in a state of suspense on the
Fortas nomination,” Mansfield
said, “I decided it was better to
face up to it now.”
Opponents immediately an
nounced they will seek to hold
the Senate floor indefinitely
against Mansfield’s motion to call
up the nomination for formal
approval.
An Associated Press survey
showed the opposition has enough
votes to keep a filibuster going.
Mansfield indicated he might
move to invoke the debate-limit
ing cloture rule early next week
if he deems this necessary, but
this would require a two-thirds
majority of senators voting. If
all 100 senators were present, 34
no votes would be enough to de
feat a cloture petition.

off. He declared Fortas’ nomina
tion is “doomed to defeat."
This was brought home to the
Senate by Sen. James 0. East-
land, D-Miss., chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, who said
there are “a surplus of votes”
to prevent debate from being cut
Eastland contended in a state
ment that Fortas’s decisions as
an associate justice “clearly dem
onstrate that his judicial philoso-
phy disqualifies him for this high
office.”
Sen. Ernest F. Rollings, D-
S. C. also based his opposition on
what he termed the philosophy
of the Warren court.
