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 $71.9- billion defense appropriation bill and the nuclear nonproliferation treaty to m®et the simmering Fortas appointment headon. “Rather than keep the Senate in a state of suspense on the Fortas nomination,” Mansfield said, “I decided it was better to face up to it now.” Opponents immediately an nounced they will seek to hold the Senate floor indefinitely against Mansfield’s motion to call up the nomination for formal approval. An Associated Press survey showed the opposition has enough votes to keep a filibuster going. Mansfield indicated he might move to invoke the debate-limit ing cloture rule early next week if he deems this necessary, but this would require a two-thirds majority of senators voting. If all 100 senators were present, 34 no votes would be enough to de feat a cloture petition. mon seve off. He declared Fortas’ nomina tion is “doomed to defeat." This was brought home to the Senate by Sen. James 0. East- land, D-Miss., chairman of the Judiciary Committee, who said there are “a surplus of votes” to prevent debate from being cut Eastland contended in a state ment that Fortas’s decisions as an associate justice “clearly dem onstrate that his judicial philoso- phy disqualifies him for this high office.” Sen. Ernest F. Rollings, D- S. C. also based his opposition on what he termed the philosophy of the Warren court. / THIS COUPON WORTH \DO FREt Gccp 3cwp ST4MPS WITH oK/W?Re fcJLCU)p/M6 XO&KCO P\\0VL>U<5- expires: SlJPT. r> vou« KtOUlAtlY IAINID SAVING STAMP ,'n a1uW; •O STAMPS III I I Mm$&7 OUOMQ 00OOP(ij COUPON SAVINGSm uyiuuuwuuuvuv; V'q Q THIS COUPON WORTH 1 ico RfEE 3c*U> STAMPS’ VVITH PPffOHOf LAY PWPT R’AYANl W|6<HY r - ■ " l. life ' " AUWAV5 •••/ s tWAN? 0EL(Ood5-/ , /e<5/> / /r«st?/Ki'TE^x^cp^u/TYA^ATy' Oir-l/P FRVW5 *31. - IFRYERS SPill iOBOCflOOWliMiriToupoN WITM fuRC'HA^^F ANN<2> UGl+T O^X mh expires: / 10, O rou* IfOUlAULT (AINfD SAVING STAMPS I I I I I A) Q Q Q lH}.QjU l .-L M fL 0 ' NK r < |U * ,(l>1 ’ 1 -' 11 tAMI1 4J Q 0 0 0 Q 0 01?
