President Nixon to name new Supreme Court justice
President Nixon plans to name a new associate justice today to the Supreme Court as Clement F. Haynsworth Jr. emerges as the leading candidate. Haynsworth, 56, is chief judge of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal in Richmond, Virginia, and would fill the vacancy created by Abe Fortas's resignation last May amid controversy over ties to Louis Wolfson's family foundation. The selection, amid civil rights objections from Mayor Lindsay and NAACP official Clarence Mitchell, comes after Nixon’s previous nomination of Warren Burger to the court last June. The White House notes Haynsworth has a mixed record on desegregation while critics warn he lacks the ideological balance and sensitivity of past justices. Nixon, meanwhile, took a three-day break from official duties, including a Palm Springs golf outing with Julie Nixon Eisenhower and Walter Annenberg on a sweltering 106-degree day.
