(UPI Telephoto) Carswell To Ran Senate For MIAMI (UPI) Judge G. Harrold Carswell, President Nixon's second rejected nominee for the Supreme Court, announced Monday he will run for the U.S. Senate on a platform "responsible, conservative" government. "This action is not taken lightly or impulsively," said the 50-year-old jurist, rejected by the Senate 12 days ago in the culmination of a bitter fight over his qualifications. Carswell said he would resign from the U.S.

Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to conduct his campaign as a Republican for the seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Sen. Spessard Holland. Carswell made the announcement at a news conference in Miami, flanked by Gov. Claude Kirk, Lt. Gov.

Ray Osborne and Sen. Edward Gurney, all Republicans. Carswell will have a powerful foe in the September GOP primary Rep. William C. Cramer of St.

Petersburg. Osborne had earlier announced he would run against Cramer, but he said "I'm stepping aside for this man. It will unify our party." It will be CarswelTs first political campaign since the 194S outing that helped wreck his chances of a seat on the highest court in the land. Carswell's nomination to the court appeared headed for relatively little trouble until it was revealed that during a campaign for the state legislature in his home town of Irwinton, he announced that "I beileve segregation of the races is proper and the only and correct way of life in our states. I have always so believed and I shall always so act "I yield to no man in the firm, vigorous belief in the principles of white supremacy and I shall always be so governed." Carswell disavowed the statement, saying it was now "abhorrent to my personal philosophy," but the furor over it ended in his rejection, 51-45, in the Senate April 8- Carswell moved to Tallahassee shortly after losing his Georgia race.

Carswell said Monday he had informed Nixon of his decision in resigning from the appeals court, to which the President had appointed him earlier this year. It was not known when Carswell's resignation would become effective. He said he wanted to join Nixon in "his call for restructuring the government along conservative lines." Gurney said "Judge Carswell is dedicated 1o a cause. It's right, it's -just and it must be fought for and won." 4 A A (AP) Sheriffs, police chiefs, city or county commissioners could declare states of emergency during riots under terms of a bill the House passed 69-22 Monday.

MIAMI (UPI)--A Cuban exile group known as Alpha 66 confirmed today that it sent the landing party into Cuba which clashed with Fidel Castro's troops in easternmost Oriente Province last Friday and Saturday. But it had no information on the remnants of the exile force which lost two dead and three captured to Castro's troops. Cuban forces suffered four dead and two wounded in the skirmishing, according to a special Sunday com- munique issued by Castro. The Castro government reported no new developments and this seemed to indicate that the survivors of the exile force may still be at large.

Southeast Asian koundup The Viet Cong turned Monday France's proposal for a new international conference to bring peace in Indochina, but other diplomatic efforts were under way in Asia. The Viet Cong rejection of the French proposal of April 1 to halt fighting in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia came from its chief envoy to the Vietnam peace talks in Paris. Mrs. Nguyen Thi Binh told a news conference there that if France wanted to contribute to peace it should press the United. States "to end its aggression' and do something to bring progress in the deadlocked Paris talks.

Mrs. Binh gave this response to a question about the French proposal: "To the extent that there is a Vietnamese problem, we already have a conference on Vietnam As for the Laotiar problem, there exist the Geneva agreements of 1962 As for the Cambodian problem, the chief of state, Norodom Sihan- ouk, demands that the United States end its intervention and aggression in Cambodia. "Thus to settle the three problems, the United States must end its policy of aggression and let each people settle its own affairs. "We think the proposal of the French government in thesi- conditions cannot contribute to the settlement of these problems. "We think that if the French government wants to contribute to the restoration of peace in Indochina it must contribute to bringing an end to America aggression and take measures to make the peace conference in Paris progress." In Asia, Foreign Minister Thanat Khoman of Thailand reported to newsmen that he had started moves behind the scenes to organize a meeting of Asiar and Pacific natpons to plan joint measures for peace in at least Cambodia and Laos.

Earlier, Foreign Minister Adam Malik of Indonesia said that a group of nations in that part of the world would meet soon to maintain Cambodia's neutrality. He said the aim of this would be for these na tions to call on North Vietnar' and the Viet Cong to leave Cambodia. He contended the Vietnamese Communist hierarchy could not ignore such a demand from a group of nations. Malik said the meeting would bring together envoys of India, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Australia, ew Zealand and Indonesia.

Claude Kirk's attempt to have it take over the Manatee County school desegregation case. Kirk had asked to transfer the case from a federal court in Florida, and the government had opposed the switch.

After filing the request for the Supreme Court to step in, Kirk bowed to a federal judge's busing order. Kirk had taken control of the school system to keep the local- level officials from obeying the order, but later reversed hirn- (Turn to COURT, paRe 3) be Nixon said. Nixon conceded that the reduction he was ordering "clearly involves some risks," especially in view of the Communist escalation in Laos and Cambodia and the surge in lighting in South Vietnam this month. But he added: "I again remind the leaders of North Vietnam that while we are taking these risks for peace they will be taking grave risks should they attempt to use the occasion to jeopardize the security of our remaining forces in Vietnam by increased military action in Vietnam, in Cambodia or in Laos." The reduction would reduce U.S. troop levels in South Vietnam to 284,000 by May, 1971.

The timing of the additional withdrawals was left purposely vague and will be determined by continual reassessments of the military and diplomatic situation.
