Nixon nominates Clem Haynsworth to Supreme Court
President Nixon named Federal Judge Clement Haynsworth Jr of Greenville to be an associate justice of the U S Supreme Court. Haynsworth, 56, is chief judge of the 4th U S Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va, and was Eisenhower’s nominee to that court in 1957. The choice drew objections from New York Mayor Lindsay and civil rights leader Clarence Mitchell, who cited desegregation stance and lack of sensitivity to Brandeis Frankfurter Cardozo and Goldberg traditions. The nomination follows Nixon’s earlier pick of Chief Justice Burger to fill the vacancy left by Abe Fortas. The president also noted a Palm Desert visit and war protests during a broader trip, continuing a three dayBreak from other duties.
