Senate Judiciary panel to begin testimony on Supreme Court nominees
Witnesses for and against Nixon nominees Powell and Rehnquist appear before Sen. Eastland's committee as confirmation prospects rise. Powell faces praise from liberals and conservatives, while Hart raises questions about Warren era decisions. Rehnquist's stance on civil liberties cited, with defense of limited disclosure due to lawyer client privilege. Powell pledges asset disposition if confirmed and vows equity in law. Acknowledgments from Humphrey and Zion add national context.
