7 The boston Globe Monday, June 23, 1369 Supreme Court's Warren Era Ends Today Names Faces In the News Rep. Adam Clayton Powell said yesterday he Ijwon't support fellow Democrat Mario A. -for mayor. The Harlem congressman in he might support incumbent John V. Lindsay, who lost the Republican primary but is on the November ballot as a Liberal.

"Of all three candidates, I think Lindsay is the only one who can pour oil on the troubled waters of this town," viPowell said at a news conference. movies he looks at in his own home no matter how obscene they may be. Voting' equality moves ahead with an order to the states that they justify any instance in which legislative districts are unequal in size. An outgrowth of the one-man one-vote doctrine, this enhances the right of a citizen to have his vote count equally. The shocker of the year was the Powell decision, a 7-1 verdict delivered by Warren himself.

It almost matched in drama and in controversy the declaration in Warren's first session that segregation of public schools is illegal. Congress may punish a member and even throw him out, Warren said, but it cannot keep a man from taking his seat in the first place by establishing qualifications not specifically enumerated in the Constitution. Lawyers defending convicted spies and extortionists were given the right to examine government logs when their clients were bugged illegally by Federal agents. The Justice Department protested, saying the country's security would suffer, It asserted it is not bound by all the commands of the Constitution when it gathers foreign intelligence a virtual admission that foreign embassies are often bugged. The court refused to reconsider.

As a result, more than a dozen convicted men, among them Teamsters leader James R. Hoffa and deposed heavyweight boxing champion. Muhammad Ali, won a chance to try to upset their sentences. The right of privacy was advanced in a unanimous decision that officials have no right to punish a man for the books he reads or the Atsociated Pre si WASHINGTON The Warren Court, passing into history today, exercised a potent influence over American life to the very end. Earl Warren's 16th and last year as chief justice was one of the most productive of history-shaping decisions.

And it was the stormiest. The Supreme Court in this session made major rulings which helped, the consumer, the family on welfare, the Negro and the soldier-defendant. It made the right of privacy more secure, the right to vote more equal. And, facing up to Congress, it declared unconstitutional the exclusion of Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, from his House seat in 1967.

It also suffered the shame of Abe Fortas' resignation the first justice in history to resign under pressurt. This blighted Warren's farewell year as no public criti cism of his decisions could. Still, at 78 and at the end of a half -century of public life, he could look back at several positive accomplishments. In this last term, for instance, the court pushed on to at least three new frontiers: It found in the Constitution protection for the worker-consumer against garnishment of his salary without a hearing. It gave servicemen the right to be tried in civil courts rather than by military tribunals for peacetime crimes committed off base and off duty.

And it gave poor people the right to travel from state to state without fear they will be from welfare rolls. Warren objected to this last decision- arguing Congress had authorized the states to impose a minimum waiting period of one year for welfare eligibility. In an older area of concern, civil rights, the court this session issued at least three major rulings. Southern school districts were told they could be required to completely integrate their faculties. Remote recreation areas were found to be covered by Federal civil rights law and told they must admit Negroes.

Negro members of unions were given the chance to bypass their white leaders and to take their grievances to federal courts. Places or public recreation operating nominally as clubs were told they cannot bar Negroes unless they are bona fide private clubs. In the field of criminal law the court was relatively inactive with one sensational exception. k.iXv.v.swA-5HftMMHR& SISiSSaaaaa ISaM.

The General has not ventured outside the village since he returned from his Ireland vacation last week.

Kennedy, pertaining to the battle for Hamburger Hill, Saltonstall was asked. His response was politic. "As a former colleague of Ted Kennedy, and John Kennedy before him," Saltonstall replied, "I would say that while he had the national point of view very much in mind, he certainly wouldn't hurt himself by any political emphasis he put on it." While he stressed it is important to strive constantly towards disarmament, "I actually have no realistic expectation of disarmament being achieved on a world scale. If at all, it's a long way off." As a Senator, he was opposed to deployment of the anti-ballistic missile system (ABM), but now he wants to keep an open mind on the matter, Saltonstall said. Responding to those who contend the ABM money should be diverted to improving the low status of this nation's urban centers, the former lawmaker said, "We want to always remember the security of our country comes first as there can be no improvements in our way of life without this security." The reliability of ABMs have been improved drastically in the last two or three years and Nixon's "Safeguard" system a cut-down version of the Johnson administration "Sentinel" system has caused him to drop his opposition to the ABM plan, Saltonstall said.

On campus violence, with special emphasis on the uprising at his alma mater Harvard, Saltonstall said the "anarchists or Communist-inclined" will witness the demise of their movement in three to four years. As for what he termed the "black problem" on the campus, Saltonstall said, "This is a completely different situation for which I dont have the solution but I know it must be worked out." On the Middle East situation, the former senator said the U.S. and other big nations can't hope to impose peace arbitrarily because the Arab nations and Israel won't accept or abide by it. The Vietnam war, Saltonstall said, just seemed to escalate by itself. He noted that while he was in the Senate "no one ever thought we would get into this Vietnam situation to this extent, both Gens.

MacArthur and Eisenhower warned us never to get into a land war in Asia." He said that even though this nation observed the downfall of the French in Vietnam at Dien Bien Phu, "I don't think we thought the thing through as to what the consequences would be in our getting into Vietnam." Saltonstall concluded, "I think we've learned our lesson and we'll be very, very careful about getting into another military situation." By WILLIAM J. LEWIS Staff Writer Former U.S. Sen. Leverett Saltonstall said last night he doubted President Nixon could keep to his announced timetable for withdrawing American troops from Vietnam by 1971. "It is hard for me to believe," Saltonstall said, "we can get (the American troops) all out by 1971 and still carry out our responsibilities to South Vietnam." In fact, the retired senator who formerly was ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee said he was stunned by Nixon's statement regarding troop withdrawal intentions.

Appearing on Ch. 56's "Point of View" program, Saltonstall told a panel of Globe reporters that while the U.S. cannot achieve a military victory in Vietnam, neither can it abandon its South Vietnamese allies. "Not if we want to maintain our prestige that is to say our word is good and we live up to our commitments," he said. Saltonstall said that in his view the only way short of a peace settlement that we can extract our troops within 18 months is to "pull them out without regard to, whatever consequences may result." On the other hand, he ac-k ledged the overwhelming sentiment in America today is to withdraw from Vietnam regardless of the price this nation pays in prestige.

(Tom Croke Photo) Water, Weather Was Fine For Area Beachcombing By VIC CHEV Staff Writer It took half an hour to find a parking space at Nan-tasket Beach yesterday. Summer is here. You wouldn't have known it by the weather, though. Beautiful- clear skies drew many to Revere and Nan-tasket Beaches, but cool breezes kept many out of the water.

At Revere Beach only little kids could like the cold water. "They're just waterbugs," said Mrs. Arnold Nelson of Waltham as her daughters Cathy and Paul, 4 and 3, had fun and games in the surf. Older kids went to the beach frankly only for lack of better alternatives. girl's gone to Florida so I've got nothing to do," said Danny Cullen, 17, of Everett, as he sat bronzing on the sidewalk at Revere, facing away from the water.

"The water's too dirty," PRESIDENT TITO host PRINCE CHARLES farewell song A crowd of 1000 Welshmen sang a farewell today to Prince Charles who ended nine weeks in Aberystwyth, Wales as a student of Welsh language and history. The British royal heir who spent a term at Aberystwyth University College was mobbed by wellwishers when he set off for Windsor Castle, near London. At Windsor, the 20-year-old student prince will prepare for his ceremonial investiture July 1 as Prince of Wales at Caernarvon Castle in Wales.

"It's kood enough for anyone. It only costs 50 cents to come here." At Nantasket, the cool air was deceptive, 'a west wind made the water warm. Tim Bilodeau, an MDC lifeguard, explained that the water is always five degrees warmer when the winds come onshore, out of the west. "I've been living here all my life," Bilodeau said, "and I can tell the temperature of the water just by looking at it. When it has sort of ripples on top, it's cold.

But when it's chunky like this, it's warm." But although a west wind makes the water warmer at Nantasket, it also makes the surf bad for So the older kids at Nantasket who surf were just as unhappy as the ones at Revere. Bilodeau, who is a short-haired Harvard student during the off-season, said that the surfers are a "pretty liberal" bunch. Crowds at Boston beaches are like the tides themselves. In the morning only joggera and beachcombers are around. The crowds come after lunch, making it impossible to park.

They withdraw in the evening, leaving the older kids to carouse in the amusement parks. Officer Richard DeMauro, who has been stationed at the Revere MDC station for eight years, said that a hot day brings 100,000 to the beach. He expected about 30,000 yesterday. "We've never failed to return a lost kid," said De-Mauro. He handles about 15 a day.

BLAKE Staff Writer NORWOOD In the age of rapid and often disruptive change, parishioners at St. Catherine's Church, learned yesterday of another innovation a Saturday Masss which will fulfill their Sunday obligation. St. Catherine's is among 17 suburban churches in the Boston Archdiocese which have opted to use the new plan beginning July 5. After the announcement of the new plan was made at the 5 p.m.

Mass yesterday by Rev. Joseph McDermott, a parishioner said: "It's the best thing to happen in a long time. It should have been done years ago." Edward Powers of Winter was announced by Richard Cardinal Cushing last Friday and at that time published reports indicated that pastors must first receive permission from the cardinal. It is up to individual pastors, however, to decide whether the new option would be suited to their parish. "The cardinal," Rev.

Sennott said, "made it clear that the judgement on this matter is up to the individual pastor." During yesterday's announcement at Mass, Fr. McDermott reflected the words of Msgr. Sennot when he said: "This is not really new." "Many centuries ago, the observance of Sunday began with First Vespers on Saturday. The church simply is extending the liturgical observance to Saturday to make the worship of God more readily available to people," he explained. And the parishioners like what is going to happen.

"I work Sunday, so it's great for me," said Margaret Powers. don't want to see them do away with Sunday Mass but this will be good for many people." Steve Hefferan of Norwood agreed. "It will be very convenient for a great number of people, especially in the Summer when families plan trips," he said. Mrs. Hefferan said she and her husband would use the new plan as needed.

Fr. McDermott told the parishioners: 'The Sabbath is not Saturday or Sunday, it's a day of rest. We hope the Saturday observance will make it more convenient for people to come to church," he said. Msgr. Sennott emphasized, as did the cardinal, that the liturgical observance of Sunday on Saturday begins at 4 p.m.

One would not fulfill the Sunday obligation by attending a Saturday morning Mass. The Masses for Sunday can be celebrated anytime after 4 p.m. The "privilege" will take effect here Saturday, July 5. It is already in effect in other parts of New England. jmA 'dRiVf: Twister Kills 2 in Missouri OLD MINES, Mo.
