Glenn won't vote for Meese Tuesday Morning, February 12,1965 taluuura 7-B WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. John Glenn said Monday that Edwin Meese III has shown "extremely poor judgment at best and an ethical blindspot at worst" as a top White House adviser and thus should be rejected when his nomination for attorney general comes before the Senate. The Ohio Democrat told a news conference he would vote against the Meese nomination and urge other lawmakers to do the same when the matter comes to the floor, perhaps on Feb. 20. The Judiciary Committee on Feb.

5 voted 12-6 to recommend confirmation of Meese. The panel had shelved the matter last year, pending an investigation by independent counsel Jacob Stein, who found that the White House counselor had violated no laws. While the nominee "has been cleared of indictable offenses, that finding should hardly be interpreted as giving Mr. Meese a clean bill of ethical health," Glenn said. He said the Senate "must go beyond the narrow question of whether or not Mr.

Meese acted illegally and confront the broader question of whether or not he acted improperly." 9WND dGROBIOJ VALENTINES DAY GIFT CERTIFICATES!

Crocket Blvd. 762-2887 Shopping Center Glenn faulted Meese for accepting unsecured loans totaling $60,000 from John McKean and then participating in his creditor's appointment to the Postal Service board of governors. Meese has said the loans were unrelated to the appointment.

Meese should have known, Glenn said, that his White House post would furnish him with preferential treatment when he sought to return to the active Army reserves and promotion to colonel. Stein's report said Meese, responding to a question from an Army official, did say he wanted advancement but only if "it could be accomplished consistent with Army regulations." Glenn said Meese was wrong in "asking that a check he had already deposited by crudely altered" to reflect consulting fees rather than moving expenses to Washington. In reply to questions about that November 1980 payment from the Presidential Transition Trust, Meese has said that he did perform consulting services for the trust and thus was entitled to the funds. Glenn also took issue with Meese for his views on civil rights and related matters. He specifically cited the nominee's criticism of the American Civil Liberties Union and praise for the Supreme Court's decision in the Grove City College case in which federal penalties for bias on the basis of race or sex were sharply narrowed.

Meese also sought to "undermine" the Legal Services established by Congress to provide attorneys for the poor, and "was involved in packing the U.S. Civil Rights Commission," Glenn said. Glenn said, however, that such considerations were secondary to the ethical questions surrounding Meese. He said he shared "to some degree" the view that "a president should be able to appoint men and women of his ideological choosing."

Texas Investigators still have no solid clues in the disappearance last summer of a MacArthur Park Church of Christ minister. Wesley Barrett "Barre" Cox vanished July 12 on a remote farm road near Tuxedo.

Texas, about 50 miles northwest of Abilene. Authorities found his abandoned and vandalized car on that road. Cox was reported heading home to San Antonio when he disappeared. He had been attending summer school at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. Jones County Sheriff Mike Mid- dleton said he is puzzled by the lack of new clues in the case.

"We just keep his picture out and hope someone spies him out there." he said. The sheriff said he has checked out several rumors about where Cox might be. but none has led anywhere. Church members distributed 60.000 flyers in an effort to locate Cox. but received no substantial information.

"We are more disappointed than surprised by this," said church spokesman Rich Taylor. "It's still a puzzle to all of us.".
