committee.
He has announced-and he
reiterated today-that he will
no longer be chairman of the
national committee after the
Democratic convention in Los
Angeles next month.
Addressing an audience made
up largely of newspapermen,
Mr.. Butler said the press as
well as political parties have
an obligation to present the
issues in this years presiden-
tial campaign honestly and
impartially."
Mr.. Butler said the "one-
party press" favoring the Re-

1856" and he sees "less of the
protective reporting which the
Eisenhower-Nixon administra-

called the "Eisenhower-Nixon

AS for Mr.. Nixon, Mr.. Butler
said:
When I took Office as chair
man, the Republicans were un-
yelling a new Nixon after the
low-road campaign of 1854. AS
l leave Office the Republicans
are unveiling another new
Nixon, guaranteed to warm the
heart of every Republican from
Barry Goldwater to Nelson
Rockefeller. This ever-recurring
new Nixon demonstrates that
the more politics changes the
more it remains the same. l

the thesis that the more Mr..
Nixon changes the more he re-
mains the same"
Asks Questions
In emphasizing the RESPONSE
bility of the press and the polit-
ical parties to inform the pub
lie, Mr.. Butler threw out what
he called "a few random queS-
tionS" for which he said he had
no easy answers. He asked:
Are we communicating ade-
quately to the electorate when
a Suez crisis spurs a landslide
victory for the political party
conducting our foreign relations
at the time?"-a reference to
the 1856 campaign.
Can we feel satisfied that

All the charges stem from a

the policemen last February by

She charged that the two
officers were among four po-
licemen who raped her in their
