United Press International WASHINGTON — In memoirs scheduled for release next month, the late Justice William O. Douglas defends his 36 years on the Supreme Court and his controversial high public profile. During his lifetime, Douglas, who died last Jan. 19 at age 81, lobbied for conservation, took part in interna tional projects, promoted peace in Vietnam and counseled presidents. But controversy also surrounded many of his actions, and he faced two attempts to remove him from the na tion’s highest court. Douglas wrote the autobiography, published by Random House, in part after he was forced by illness to retire in 1975. The first volume of his memoirs, “Go East Young Man, ” de scribed his life before his appoint ment to the court in 1939. The new volume, “The Court Years, 1939-1975,” covers crucial rulings of his era. Although it dis closes little new about behind-the- scenes decision making, Douglas ex plains his controversial actions in the Japanese internment case and the Rosenberg spy case. Douglas said he regretted his vote that allowed the government to round up Japanese on the West Coast. He said he wrote a separate opin ion opposing interning the Japanese in concentration camps. “I have al ways regretted that I bowed to my elders and withdrew my opinion,” he said. Douglas was threatened with lyn ching and impeachment when he temporarily blocked the execution of convicted spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953. He said their lawyer presented a new issue which deserved consideration by the full court. In a special session, the court overruled him the next day. A second impeachment resolution was introduced by then-Rep. Gerald Ford after two of Richard Nixon’s appointees were rejected for posts on the Supreme Court, Douglas said. “Ford and his associates were planning a Roman Holiday in the summer of 1970, with my impeach ment as the main event, Douglas recounted. Of Chief Justice Warren Burger, Douglas said, “While he would not throw out the Fifth Amendment (guaranteeing due process of law), he certainly would dilute it.” Douglas accused Justice Thurgood Marshall of a “lawless” breach of court rules in overturning his order blocking the bombing of Cambodia. “Nixon men” put pressure on Mar shall, Douglas concluded. President Dwight Eisenhower was “insensitive to the implications of ... massive gifts to him from key men in the establishment,” and John Kennedy “was indeed a playboy! public office up to 1958, Doifl observed. .

The agency proposed penalties totaling $82,765 against the Bunker Hill Co. of Kellogg, Idaho, for 108 alleged violations of federal occupa tional safety and health regulations. The agency made its only other such citation against American Cyanamid on Oct. 9, 1979. That cita tion is under appeal to the Occupa tional Safety and Health Review Commission. The agency, part of the Labor De- BALLROOIVI Snook, Texas Saturday Sept. 20 MORNING Advance tickets at all Courts locations. 3 miles west of Snook (Intersection FM 60 & 3058) partment, proposed a $10,000 fine against Bunker Hill — a subsidiary of Gulf Resources & Chemical Corp., which operates a primary lead smel ter — for the sterilization policy. Bunker Hill was cited for a “corpo rate policy which required women employees to be sterilized in order to be eligible to work in areas of the plant where they would be exposed to lead.” Occupational exposure to lead can cause damage to the nervous, urin ary and reproductive systems, and studies have linked such exposure to defects in offspring of workers. The agency said Bunker Hill could not seek to eliminate the hazard to women employees from excessive lead exposure by forcing them to choose between their jobs and ster ilization. Other alleged willful violations at junker Hjll included one for excess lead exposure in eating,areas, car rying another $10,000 proposed pen alty, and two dealing with the com pany’s failure to comply to biological monitoring of lead standards, with fines totaling $5,400. The government also alleged four repeat violations, carrying $7,000 in fines. Charges include deficiences in record-keeping and respiratory pro tection, and violations of OSHA’s arsenic standard. The remaining 100 alleged viola tions accounted for an additional $50,365 in fines. The firm has 15 days to contest the citations and fines to the Occupation al Safety and Health Review Corn- United Press International WASHINGTON — Postmaster General William Bolgerispressiii: Th e letter wa ahead with plans for a new nine-digit ZIP code, but his agencyfkl& r j an g overn , must answer questions from a skeptical congressman and other foes Washington ai Rep.
