Agnew re used comment Tuesday on re- orts he may resign as a result involvement in a Maryland elitical corruption probe. But gnew’s office said no such move ^ as expectable. Agnew, leaving a luncheon he ive for visiting Pakistani Prime inister Ali Bhutto, was con- onted by waiting newsmen and iked about a report that he was considering resigning, possibly by week’s end. “Gentlemen, as you know it is my practice not to comment on stories from undisclosed sources,” Agnew said. Republican sources, meanwhile, named Sen. Barry Goldwater, R- Ariz., as the senior GOP figure with whom Agnew was said to have discussed recently the pos sibility of resigning and who told the Washington Post he was “99^ per cent sure that he would resign — probably by the end of the week.” But in New York, Goldwater denied this and said he hadn’t spoken in months to the Post re porter whose story touched off the furor. Of Agnew, he said, “I don’t think he’s going to quit. My hunch is that he’s going to stay.” Goldwater said Agnew was a close political and social friend who he has seen often recently but that the subject of resigna tion has not risen. “If it did, I would advise him to fight it out,” Goldwater said. The White House refused com ment on the matter. But a source familiar with Ag new’s thinking said he believed a serious misunderstanding led to the report. He said he believed that “a bad overreading of something Agnew might have toyed with” led to the story. “The source of the story ap parently caught Agnew in a mo ment of reflection and came away with the impression that this was going to happen,” the Agnew as sociate said. “Agnew is a man under siege, and therefore is highly susceptible to being mis interpreted in what he says.” By JULIA JONES Psychiatrists have a new the ory. There is no mental illness. Instead, mental balance rests on making the right life decisions. Those that appear ill have made the wrong decisions about the world or the wrong decisions about their life. This theory is amply supported in An Assas sin’s Diary, by Arthur Bremer. Bremer, in case you didn’t know, is the man who shot George Wal lace. The manuscript of this book ALBERTSONS NATIONAL BRANDS SALE! DRUGS & FOODS SPECIALS GOOD WED, THUR, FRI, SAT.

(Meant to be read, it is an apolo gia for murder. It is also an ex cellent insight into the reasons for assassination.) From the book Bremer seems to be sane. That, is the frightening thing. He emerges as a fairly reasonable human being. His goals are the same as many men. He comes through as funny and lonely. Many of his thoughts come close to being profound. The book re veals a typically American out look. Bremer is money con scious and rates the hotels and restaurants he patronizes. He ap preciates courtesy and often com ments that someone is a “nice guy.” The trouble with Bremer is that he is too American. He has accepted all our goals to ex cess, the hunger for fame and celebrity. In this sort of society Bremer is a loser. He has neither the brains nor the drive for suc cess. Yet he longs for the re sults of success. While in New York City he rents a limousine and comments “I really felt good being stared at by the poor peo ple in my limousine.” Bremer states that he is going to kill for fame, “because that is what is important.” It could probably be said that our society has pro duced its own murderer. Our culture has instilled the concept that being famous is the best thing you can get out of life. We have drowned our children in the worship of “big” people. There are few magazines that do not publish regular articles on actors and the rich. What do the fame hungry do to get the same wor ship? Some do what Bremer did . . . and Sirhan . . . and Ray . . .
