The Senate, therefore, Ik be-
ing tested. The final vote on con-
firmation of Judge Haynsworth
will tell whether it has the in-
tegrity and independence to re-
ject the liberals’ insistence on
veto powers or whether it will
abdicate to the union and minor-
ity group special interests.

iwwF. Haynsworth to the 41 .K * ■
Supreme Court. Not in a genera-
tion has any nominee for a court
post been subjected to the kind
of smear campaign directed at
Judge Haynsworth.
The liberals and left-wingers
are in a frenzy because someone
who isn’t a partisan of social
revolution has been nominated
for the Supreme Court. They
can’t make a case against Cle-
ment Haynsworth. who is re-
garded by those familiar with
his record as a quiet, distin-
guished judge of high ability.
But the AFL-CIO. the NAACP,
Americans for Democratic Ac-
tion and other liberal groups
don’t hesitate to distort the
judge’s record or spread ugly
personal rumors in an attempt
to prevent his confirmation. The
Senate, which is supposed to be
the greatest deliberative body in
the world, has been the scene of
unconscionable headline grab-
bing.
What lies behind these attacks
on Judge Haynsworth is the de-
termination of the liberals to
continue their veto power over
judicial nominations. They had
such a veto under the Roosevelt,
Kennedy and Johnson admini-
strations. No one was elevated
to the bench unless he was clear-
ed by the liberals. Supreme Court
nominations went to such men
as Thurgood Marshall of the
NAACP and Arthur Goldberg
of the AFL-CIO, men with real
conflict of interest problems in-
sofar as unions and protest
groups are concerned.
Now the power brokers of the
liberal community want to go on
exercising their veto during the
Nixon administration. They
want to bar from the court any
man who will be a truly, fair
minded jurist.

Now' don’t fool yourself into
thinking that friendship is free.
It most certainly is not. It is
an expensive thing.
It requires appreciation, sac-
rifice. and even the most cost-
ly of virtues — love. You must
pay a high price for friendship.
But in return you get a high
profit in friends.

Well, the only way in the
world that one can gain friends
is to be friendly. You see, the
old law that we have spurned is
true. When you give, you get.
So it is that when you give
friendship, you get a friend.

Sometimes we miss the beau-

ship. How was it that Ralph
Waldo Emerson said it: ‘The
glory of friendship is not the
outstretched hand, nor the kind-
nor the joy of com
panionship; it is the spiritual
inspiration that comes to one
when he discovers that some
one else believes in him and
is willing to trust him with his
friendship.”

such as seeing, speaking, walk-
ing and balance may be dis-

ed. MS can bring total disabili-
ty, although this is not always
the case. Relief from symptoms
or remission, can be of short
duration or has been known to
last for years. It is estimated
that 500,000 Americans suffer
from MS and related diseases
