Fortas Resigns From Supreme Court Amid Probe
Washington AP Justice Abe Fortas announced his resignation from the Supreme Court amid pressure and impeachment talk. President Nixon accepted effective immediately. Congress reaction ranged from favorable to calls for further investigation into Fortas’ Wolfson foundation ties. White House officials said the resignation letter was received about 5 30 pm Wednesday. Fortas had explained an ongoing $20 000 a year living stipend arrangement with the Wolfson foundation that he later sought to terminate. Wolfson is serving a prison term for securities violations, and the fee was paid while under investigation. Sen Robert P Griffin praised the checks and balances of the system, while other lawmakers urged full disclosure of details before any conclusions.
