Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - November 10, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news Section one 2 sections vol. 92, no. 265mt. Pleasant Iowa tuesday evening november to 1970 Price to cents Cloudy Jeffrey Hart j records opened on concealed weapons the great Lindsay mystery everyone knows that mayor John v. Lindsay of new York is in some Way a candidate for the presidency. No sooner had he come out for Arthur Goldberg for governor of new York just before the recent election than. The beaning of this endorsement upon his presidential chances became a main topic of speculation. But this is a fantastic thing. In the latest poll of new York voters some 60 percent disapprove of the Way their mayor is doing his Job. Furthermore though he reigns at City Hall his presence there is a Fluke. He won his bid for re election last year after being rejected by his own. Party Only because two other candidates split the anti Lindsay vote which was a dear majority. Too other polls indicate Lindsay is More popular in upstate new York than he is in his own downstate City. To live under Lindsay it seems is to disapprove of him. The further you get from his own turf the More popular he becomes. No doubt he would win unanimously if he ran for mayor of Nome Alaska. Nor is it Only the voting citizenry of new York City who have a Low opinion of Lindsay. Scammon and Wattenburg in the real majority a key Book of political analysis this year say confidently that Lindsay As currently perceived nationwide would suffer a defeat of Coldwater proportions if he ran for president. Too but what about Lindsay a performance As mayor writing in the february 1970 Issue of commentary Roger Starr who is extremely knowledgeable about City government shows that Lindsay High minded though he is and surrounded by yes levies of creative Young people has failed disastrously in City Hall he seems to suffer from some kind of invincible ignorance of the arts of government and the uses of Power. Elected. As crusading reformer who would save new. York Lindsay has accomplished literally nothing. New Yorkus decline is More rapid than Ever. Too these conclusions be amply reinforced in a recent Book by a Lindsay insider Lindsay a Promise the dream that failed by Woody Klein a classmate of mine at Dartmouth who served first As Lindsay a Public relations officer and then As his housing administrator. Klein is a newspaper Man and his Book is almost Alii description and reportage the picture of Lindsay that emerges is All the More grim because Klein likes Linday personally and believes in his capacity to learn and to improve. But an Klein a own showing such Faith is really Wehl a just pure Faith. Lindsay does not know where the levers of Power Are in new York City and even if he did know he would not know How to act on the knowledge. He seems hopelessly Unada table to the arts of democratic politics and to the exercise of Power under democratic circumstances. Throughout Klein a description of his first term Lindsay is fleeing All Contact almost viscerally disliking it with labor leaders cops businessmen garbage collectors citizen pressure groups hostile newsmen and Atli the other a reactionary bastards a As he affectionately Calls them. He cannot talk with the management of the daily news who ask him some dose questions he loses his temper and leaves in a rage cancelling his subscript Ion. Too whenever an actual Urban problem does not instantly evaporate As Lindsay articulates some gleaming Liberal piety a Cloud of bafflement darkens his visage soon giving Way to petulance or rage. The Reader finishes Klein a account convinced that Lindsay is better suited to the chaplaincy of Yale than to the mayoralty of new York. And so we should make him president where he can really fail fail with a resounding bang because a he is effective on to and b because the democrats done to have anybody else. Some closings on vets Day several businesses professional offices and Public buildings will be closed on wednesday nov. La. In Observance of veterans Day. The two Banks and the savings and loan the courthouse Post office the Federal Agency offices and attorneys offices will be closed for the Day.

Holliday today was directed to open to the Public a hearing on the records kept on the names of persons authorized to carry concealed weapons. In an unanimous decision the Iowa supreme court found in favor of the Des Moines Register amp Tribune co. In its suit against Polk county sheriff Wilbur Hildreth. The newspaper went to court in an attempt to obtain for publication the names of All persons with concealed weapon permits but the Case As slowed when Holliday ruled that the hearing would be closed. Too Holliday a decision was based on a request from county Legal officials and five witnesses who testified pm and Law resume their negotiations Detroit up a general motors and the United Auto workers resumed negotiations today after a 7 hour break in Hopes of reaching a National agreement that could end a 57-Day-old strike. Gmys chief negotiator Earl Bramblett. Came to the negotiating room shortly before 9 . Est. The Law president Leonard Woodcock accompanied by two fellow negotiators entered the room a bout 46 minutes later. The talks resumed after a 7% hour break in sessions which began monday and continued virtually nonstop for .17 hours until shortly after 2 . Today. Such Long talks Are traditional signs of nearing an agreement. Too Bramblett had said that unless an agreement was reached today it would be impossible for pm to resume Auto production by dec. I because of the a sheer mechanics involved. It was believed pm had offered a contract proposal which could Cost the firm More than $2 billion in wages alone during the proposed new three year agreement. Too after negotiators reach a National settlement a subject to ratification by the 375,000 Union members at Gmo workers at the More than half the plants which have reached local agreements would be expected to resume work. But it was Uncertain whether workers at other plants would resume work during local negotiations or remain on strike. The a awl a ruling body the International executive Board arrived today to review any agreement worked out by the negotiators. But an agreement then would have to be turned Over to the unions general motors Council which was told to meet Here wednesday. Bishop Dingman to speak Here the Mast Rev.

That Public knowledge of their authorization to carry a revolver pistol or pocket Billy would be a a detrimental to their standing in society. The witnesses included an osteopathic physician a minister a real estate Salesman a mechanical contractor and an attorney. Although failing to Rule on the merits of the Public record dispute the High court said Hildreth a lists of permit holders unquestionably fall into the Public document category As spelled out by the Iowa code. The Opin Iori suggested the Only Point on which the Polk county court can Rule is whether the Register amp Tribune had a legitimate right to the permit records. Too in finding for the newspaper the opinion cited a lengthy passage on requirements of witnesses contained in a Book on evidence. The opinion said the Public a has a right to every Many a each witness called to testify before a court of Law makes some sacrifice the opinion noted either of time and labor or of privacy. A when the course of Justice requires the investigation of the truth no Man has any knowledge that is rightly private a the opinion read. A fall that f society can fairly be expected to concede is that it will not exact this knowledge where necessity does not demand too Justice Warren bees of Anamosa who wrote the opinion said it is a patently obvious that wishes of witnesses to refrain from testifying in Public have no place in determining whether a trial May be closed. Hildreth claimed a Public hearing would Render the Point of the registers Case along this line Rees said there is no reason Why the a proper protective orders could not be issued by the trial court to limit publicity until the ultimate Issue is determined. Poo the Register took Hildreth to court when the sheriff refused to release the names of All persons in Polk county whom he has Given authority to carry concealed weapons specifically the names of Hildreth a so called special deputies. The Register argued Hildreth a refusal to release the records was a arbitrary wilful and the issuance of permits for concealed weapons a is a matter of Public business interest and concerns to newspaper subscribers the Register said and Hildreth a refusal a damaged and impeded the newspapers duty to keep the Public informed. Hildreth argued that publication of permit holders would not be in the Public interest and would a substantially and irreparably injured the weapon carriers. The High court held that the fact the records Are Public a is not questioned and noted there is no statute concerning the duties of a county sheriff that gives the official the right to suppress the records from persons a having a legitimate purpose in examining most Rev.
