Supreme court acted proper-and responsibly in agreeing to le promptly on whether the White louse must turn over 64 tape recordings to special Watergate Prosecutor Leon JaworskL Jaworski contends that the tapes are vital evidence in the upcoming Watergate cover-up trial of former 'Attorney General John Mitchell and six other defendants and Federal 'Judge John Sirica ordered President Nixon to surrender the tapes The White House appealed Sirica's decision to the Court of Appeals Jaworski who feared that the cover up trial would be delayed until next Spring asked the Supreme Court to take the case directly which it now In any event the Supreme Court saw its duty and the nation should soon learn whether claims of can outweigh the rights of courts and defendants to the best available evidence Incidentally the best nonlegalis-tic discussion of the issue that we have seen lately comes from Archibald Cox who was fired by Nixon as special prosecutor last fall after he beat the White

Dinner and bull-session for writers of the area at Hotel Cortez Robert Lee editor of The Herald-Post will speak We were rather surprised that White House lawyers insisted on ftne-consuming appellate procedures and fought furiously against going straight to the High Court since Nixon often has said Watergate drags down question and White House single highly willing to Under must to the second Tactics been going into the salaries of antipoverty workers rather than into useful programs to ease the plight of the poor There are aspects of the war on poverty that do make sense Neighborhood legal services is one example Head start for children is another Many of the more effective programs already have been transferred to other federal agencies In the case of legal aid the plan i if President Nixon veto it is to set up an independent corporation In any event 10 years of antipoverty experiments are enough time to concentrate on programs that work and stop wasting money on programs JHjThe House was more stubborn than smart the other day when it disbanded One antipoverty agency and promptly Created a new antipoverty agency to take its place Calling it the Community Action Administration (newjiame) instead of the Office of Economic Opportunity (old name) really change anything simply means that another $1 billion in federal funds would be spent over the next three years on community action programs better left to the cities and states In some cases the programs are ineffective and should be phased out apparent by now that much of the money has OUR INVADED UNIVERSITIES By Ronnie Dugger New York: Norton $1495 The author who is a journalist and writer is perhaps best known as the publishers of the and this is the basic task he undertakes here except that it it The University of Texas at Austin rather than the entire State to which he turns his sharp and probing observations Having come to know The University intimately as a student entering in 1947 and as a long-time resident of Austin where he continues to live Mr Dugger sets out to describe in some detail the process of in that institution and thence to generalize about American universities both public and private THE is by what he calls the (eg is no method of sensing all the dark effects of military money in a His thesis is that universities have become increasingly dominated by the interests of their governing boards which are made up for the most part of business and professional persons He cites for example a survey taken in 1972 which revealed that only 3 per cent of governing boards had student members The subtitle of the book is Ik Rose Is a Rose DROP A BOMB on the Bohemian Grove during the Encampment and you would likely kill off at least a dozen senators a Vice President an ex-President scads of oil tycoons newspaper publishers a gaggle of Governors and a few of the top entertainers You go to the Grove by invitation only and it is easier for a rich man to enter Heaven than for a poor man to make it into the sacred gloves of Bohemia John van der Zee son of a San Francisco judge did it by hiring himself out as a waiter then writing this book about what goes on among the high and the mighty when they don sports clothes and hide themselves off to let down their hair and relax at Bohemian Grove It is a highly entertaining book he has written yet one with no special surprises for those wondered what goes on at the Grove Despite Mr van der slightly patronizing approach the bigwigs turn out to be not very different from ordinary folk and one is not very shocked to learn that university presidents can wash and wipe dishes or that despite the ban on business talk deals industrial and political alike sometimes do get made during the course of the Encampment INDEED A QUICK word sketch of the rather swishy set of waiters included in text makes the Bohemian Club members and guests' look good by comparison Van der Zee really discloses no secrets to shock the Bohemian Club hierarchy into banning the book but he has done a good job of recounting the history and depicting the men who populate it during the Encampment aiid in describing the ritual of life in the Grove the entertainment offered to participants and the reaction of most powerful men to a vacation during which their motto is: A fig for care a fig for woe Let the world slide Let the world RWLEE STAYING ALIVE!

Mrs Schroeder correctly pointed out that most military officers receive noncombat assignments that women would handle just as easily as men Perhaps more easily in some cases right on all counts of course which is why the House should follow the lead of the Senate and admit military-minded women to the service academies if they have the qualifications and the spunk to make the grade SPANISH LESSON What is your name Mr President?
