WASHINGTON — President
Reagan calls him “a fair man,”

[secretary of state.

Senate hearings on Shultz begin
Cabinet member is expected to
encounter little, if any, trouble.
Reagan, while enroute back
to the White House following his
11 -day vacation, Sunday told re
porters he was anxious to have
Shultz confirmed.
Asked if Shultz would “tilt”
U.S. policy toward the Arabs be
cause of his business dealings in
the Arab world as president of
an international construction
firm, Reagan said no and added,
“I think he’s as fair a man as I
know.”
Percy, chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
said on CBS’ “Face the Nation,”
Shultz “is always a team player
but he will fight hard for what he
thinks is right” and “will be an
outstanding secretary of state.”
Shultz, 61, served as labor and
treasury secretary, as well as
budget director, during the Nix
on administration. He is well-
known and liked on Capitol Hill.
But he is expected to be ques
tioned about his ties to the Bech
tel Group Inc., a San Francisco-
based international engineering
and construction firm with wide
business dealings in the Arab
world.
Shultz, named by Reagan at
the time he announced Haig’s
resignation June 25, has been
with Bechtel since leaving the
Nixon Cabinet in 1974, most re
cently as president.
Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger, another former
Bechtel executive, dismissed as
“just absurd” any possibility that
either he or Shultz would allow
“any previous commercial asso
ciation to influence what we
think is best and right and neces
sary for the country.”

Senate abortion showdown
to begin later this month
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Sn. Jesse
Helms, R-N.C., probably will try
to attach his “human life” mea
sure to a debt limit bill later this
month in the long-delayed Sen
ate showdown on abortion.
The effort by Helms will like
ly touch off a liberal filibuster,
perhaps led by Sen. Bob Pack-
wood, R-Ore., to kill all anti
abortion attempts and leave se
cure the 1973 Supreme Court
decision legalizing abortion.
Helms and his supporters see
the debt limit bill as a promising
vehicle to carry anti-abortion
legislation because the measure
is one that must be enacted for
continued operation of the en
tire government.
For more than a year, Senate
Republican leader Howard Bak
er of Tennessee has promised
the conservatives he would sche
dule their social concerns — in
cluding anti-abortion and school
prayer — if they would let him
work through the economic
agenda first.
Three major measures have
emerged:
•Helms’ bill declaring that
“scientific evidence demons
trates the life of each human
being begins at conception,” a
clause that could have the effect
of giving fetuses constitutional
rights. The bill also bans all fed
eral funding, direct and indi
rect, of abortions.
•The proposed “federalism”
constitutional amendment by
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, that
would allow Congress and states
to restrict or ban abortions.
•A bill by Sen. Mark Hatfield,
R-Ore., that would ban all direct
federal funding of abortions
and allow states to enact anti
abortion laws.
Both the Helms and Hatfield
proposals state it is “a fun
damental principle of American
law to recognize and affirm the
intrinsic value of all human life.”
Both would make permanent
the amendment of Rep. Henry
Hyde, R-Ill., that Congress has
enacted each year since 1976
barring federal funding of abor
tions, a measure largely affect
ing welfare mothers.
Two Senate Judiciary sub
committees held lengthy hear
ings last year on the legislation,
but Hatch’s proposal was
opposed by many anti-abortion
fundamentalists and it became
apparent that Hatch, facing a
tough re-election battle this
year, might not be able to get the
necessary two-thirds.

Architect opposes plans
to alter vets’ memorial
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The
architect of the controversial
Vietnam veterans memorial said
today she doubts she will attend
. , the dedication ceremonies sche-
I'k "pift j or v e t erans Day because
' 111 l 1111 ^® of planned changes to her con
cept.
Maya Lin, who as a Yale
undergraduate submitted the
design for the memorial that was
chosen over 1,400 other entries,
is unhappy with changes being
pushed by veterans groups.
Lin’s design is a simple, black
V that bears the names of all
known Vietnam fatalities. Offi
cials of the memorial fund have
agreed to accept the addition of
an American flag and a sculp
ture of three soldiers to meet
veterans’ criticism.
She compared their demands
that a statue be placed on the
memorial with a hypothetical
complaint that the Washington
Monument isn’t a monument
unless a statue of George
Washington is placed on top of
it.
Lin, appearing on NBC’s
“Today” show, said the competi-
:S!
JNT
tion for the memorial design
took three years and her design
was unanimously approved by
“every single legal governmen
tal board.”
But, she said, “two days be
fore you’re supposed to be
issued a ground-breaking per
mit, you have political machina
tions that end up with additions
of flags and statues at the last
minute. What you’ve got are two
different memorials being built,
one that went through a com
petition and one that was power-
played on.”
Asked if she will attend the
dedication ceremonies sche
duled for Veterans Day if the
additions are made, Lin said,
“Probably not. I don’t believe
that what has happened is very
ethical, whatever, and I want to
stand away from it.”
She said the veterans that are
complaining about her design
“are a very small few and they
happen to be very traditional
artistically.”
She added: “It’s that sort of
misunderstanding and I don’t
know if you’re going to make
everybody happy with it no mat
ter what you do.”
