Sahara Tahoe Hotel in State Line Nevada Reagan had harsh words for the suggestion by Gov rick Lucey that President Nixon should resign because of Watergate He ed I think it a rather dangerously irresponsible thing to say AP photo Lucey rapped for comments calling for Nixon resignation MADISON Wis AP Re- publicans reacted sharply day to Gov Patrick J Lucey's call for President Nixon to re- sign labeling such talk sponsible and untimely Two Democratic legislators declined to go as far as the governor in calling for Nixon's resignation But they expressed doubts about Nixon's ness in office in view of the Watergate scandal Lucey told newsmen in line Nev while attending a governors convention he thought the President should step down for the good of the country He cited the Watergate break-in last yesr and sub- sequent attempts by members of Nixon's administration to cover up the affair Atty Gen Robert W Warren a potential GOP candidate for governor in 1974 said this was the wrong anyone to comment on the possible guilt or innocence of persons in- in the scandal kind of talk constitutes exactly the sort of prejudgement of an issue in advance of nal proceedings Warren said Such talk Warren added Ms the concern of all who talk about a free press fair trials and publicity The President knows and has been told frequently by his supporters of the necessity of moving from the Watergate problem to the great and con- issues of Warren said and I support him in turning his face toward those issues Sen Robert Kasten Jr Brown Deer said it was sponsible for anyone to call for Nixon's resignation until courts and a Senate com- get to the bottom of this The governor is interested in trying somehow to make some news and I think this is an irresponsible Kasten said Democratic Reps Dennis Conta of Milwaukee and ny Earl of Wausau also were asked what they think Nixon should do I don't think it's clear that he had knowledge of gate Conta But I think a growing ber of nations in the world and the public in general think he had some prior and for that reason I think the President ought to consider re- Conta Earl Democratic majority leader in the Assembly My own impression is that he is not going to resign because there is too much massive pride involved Sen James Devitt field said Lucey should trate on state problems I think the governor should have his bands full care of severe problems at Devitt sid The problems we have here with the budget and with dals about public welfare in Milwaukee should take up much of the governor's Devitt said Republican
