James Reston argues the Massachusetts referendum on Senator Edward Kennedy hinges on his delayed accident report and not the tragedy.

Judge Charles D. Breitel of the New York Court of Appeals is under serious consideration by President Nixon for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court to replace Abe Fortas. A longtime ally of former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, Breitel has held posts under Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson and is viewed as a cautious, methodical jurist with bipartisan backing. Political leaders await the decision, weighing Breitel against other upstate and New York City contenders for the single vacancy on the Court of Appeals and potential alignment with the White House.
