Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - November 21, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news vol. 92, no. 275 it. Pleasant Iowa saturday evening november 21, 1970 Price to cents Cloud pc Jeffrey Hart Nixon and de Gaulle president Nixon a presence at the memorial ceremony for general de Gaulle in Paris had a significance and an appropriateness that went beyond his ceremonial obligations a As chief of state for Between Nixon and de Gaulle there had come to exist a private relationship of unique character. At first glance this seems improbable. What could link two so very different Mien a chains Andre Joseph Marie de Gaulle the graduate of St. Cyr the embodiment of old world hauteur the deeply traditional Catholic and one time disciple of Charles Madras the prose stylist of lapidary eloquence the Prophet of a grand eur a and in contrast the ambitious lawyer out of Yorba Linda and Whittler the Vintage american politician who throughout his career had evoked attitudes of social condescension from Herb lock Arthur Schlesinger jr., and Garry wills a not for that matter themselves of especially August lineage yet de Gaulle a the Correct verb is difficult to find a a liked will not quite do where de Gaulle is concerned a was clearly fascinated by Nixon admired him and Felt some deep Affinity with him. During the years following his California defeat in 1962 by gov. Pat Brown when Nixon was almost universally written off politically he took a great Many trips abroad sometimes As Many As four or five per year. And on his frequent trips to Paris he had no trouble at All in seeing de Gaulle. This in itself is remarkable for de Gaulle was often inaccessible to accredited ambassadors in Paris As Well As to travelling statesmen who actually held posts of Power. Too the various slides who accompanied Nixon on these trips speculate that de Gaulle possessed some intuition that Nixon would make a political comeback and somehow win the presidency that had so narrowly eluded him in 1960. William Safire for example remembers one visit when de Gaulle received the Nixon staff and he recalls the intensity with which de Gaulle gazed at each Man As if speculating to himself about what sort of Circle would surround Nixon should he make it to the White House. And for Nixon de Gaulle had a special symbolic meaning he had made one of the great political comebacks of history had returned to leadership after a Long period of exile. Others close to Nixon think that de Gaulle perceived Nixon As a fellow nationalist. The West in de Gaulle a View should be made up of Strong and distinct National entities. He very much distrusted and disdained Supra National structures. Such As the . And the proposed United Europe. He found in Nixon a similar commitment to National strength and National interest. Too both men moreover were not Only close students of foreign affairs but had much in common in the style of their thought about foreign policy. Both stressed diplomacy in a nineteenth Century rather manner. Nixon likes to talk about the a pressure Points in the International system Points always present but always changing where pressure can usefully be applied and de Gaulle similarly worked dexterously with the Complex equation of in.

Senate votes Money for two programs Washington up a ignoring the hazards of another veto by president Nixon the Senate has approved a $19.2 billion Money Bill for health and labor programs a a half billion dollars More than the administration asked. The package was approved unanimously 78-0, Friday after the Senate added $168.5 million for a variety of Antipoverty and health programs. The $19.3 billion package now goes to a Senate House conference committee. Negotiations will have to work out a Compromise with the $18.8 billion fiscal 1971 appropriations Bill approved by the House. The House exceeded Nixon a request by Only $65.2 million. But the Senate appropriations committee tacked on $246.3 million and the addition of $68.5 million on the Senate floor put the measure Well within the veto Range. Nixon vetoed last years hew labor appropriations Bill and Congress was forced to write a new less costly version. Sgt. Mitchell found innocent by jury it. Hood Tex. Up a s. Sgt.

Chief defense counsel Ossie found bleeding about the head Gary Brown 23, Keokuk was taken to memorial Hospital at 1 39 . Saturday and treated for Sev j eral head cuts and a concussion. J police received a Call from 407 Egypt. And both Nixon and de Gaulle Are analytical rather than moralistic where political Power is concerned. For All their differences in personality there exist deep resemblances there too. Both possess Back of the Public Man a private and inner self very difficult of Access. Both have always been a a loners in crucial ways and mysterious to some extent even to those who might be thought to know them Well. Thus it was often asked what the a a real Nixon was like or the a a real de Gaulle. No one Ever asked for example what the real Hubert Humphrey was like or the real Teddy Kennedy. Too and so though the final reasons themselves must remain mysterious there grew up a special relationship Between these two unlikely figures. When he assumed the presidency in january 1969, Nixon was confident that this relationship would provide the basis for improved relations with France. In a few months however de Gaulle fell from Power Aud returned to his ancestral Village. Commented Nixon wryly a a we be got the perfect solution.
