At a meeting of religious broadcasters Monday
in Washington, Anderson sharply chided politic
ally active religious groups for endangering the
basic principle of separation of church and state.
“The political marriage of the Moral Majority
and the New Right is not one ordained in
heaven,” said Anderson, himself a member of the
Evangelical Free Church. “It is a union which
thunders with misguided motives ... which seeks
to inject unbending rigidity and intolerance into
church pew and polling place alike.”
Carter was warmly welcomed in New York
City.
New York state has 41 electoral votes, and it is
generally acknowledged it would be almost im
possible for Carter to win the election without
them.
The president was greeted by top Democratic
leaders — Gov. Hugh Carey, who stayed neutral
in the primaries, Mayor Edward Koch, and
Democratic Senate nominee Rep. Elizabeth
Holtzman — and got a rousing reception at the
convention of the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union, which also endorsed him.
Joel McCleary, Carter-Mondale campaign
coordinator for New York, told reporters the pres
ident is “at least even, if not ahead in upstate
New York.”
“That’s unheard of for a Democrat and that’s
why Carter is going to win the state,” he said.
But he acknowledged a “huge undecided fac
tor” among Jewish voters. Carter made a pitch for
Jewish votes Monday, hinting strongly the Un
ited States would get out of the U.N. General
Assembly if the assembly votes to oust Israel.
Former Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski
held a news conference Monday to announce he
will head a “Democrats for Reagan” organization
because, “I’d rather have a competent extremist
than an incompetent moderate. ”
He called Reagan an “extremist” last spring at
the time he endorsed George Bush for the nomi
nation.
Reagan said he was “very, very happy” at
Jaworski’s decision.

The fatigued-looking candidate,
who flew to Albuquerque, N.M.,
Tuesday, said Carter had this week
stressed that the current recession
had bottomed out and accused the
president of downplaying a proposed
$65.2 billion budget deficit.
“Carter has taken unemployment
statistics (at the end of the Ford
administration) that weren’t too good
and made them worse,” the former
ambassador and CIA director said.
“He’s taken inflation that was good at
4.2 percent and doubled it.
Turning to foreign policy. Bush
mentioned a “craving for peace” and
added, "The way the U.S. can
guarantee the peace is by staying
strong to deter Soviet aggression.
“At Notre Dame he (Carter) said
you don’t have to have that inordin
ate fear of communism anymore.
Then, three years later, after the
Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan,
he said T don’t trust the Soviet
Union.’
“It would not take Ronald Reagan
three years to learn not to trust the
Soviet Union,” Bush said.
“It’s true that no American is
being shot at under Carter’s adminis
tration. But it’s also true that 52
Americans are being held hostage
and the humiliation that goes with
that.”

us cattleWlepublicans, who could have stal-

ailed a “long and tortuous process.”
Baker said, however, a “great
many other judicial appointments”
are still in the Judiciary Committee.
Should Republican presidential
nominee Ronald Reagan win the
election, many of those are unlikely
to win confirmation unless they are
submitted anew next year by
Reagan, or are given his approval
during the planned lame duck ses
sion of Congress.
The nominations of the 10 judges
came to a vote after getting approval
from a three-member Republican
clearance committee appointed by
Baker to go over all nominations.
The members are Sens. Ted Stevens
of Alaska, John Tower of Texas and
Mark Hatfield of Oregon.
“Today is strong evidence that we
want to minimize the practices of the
past to hold up nominations in an
election year,” Hatfield said.
