NIXON AND TOWER

Richard NJ. Nixon, who shows no signs
of running away from the Republican
presidential nomination in 1864, had some
wind taken out of his political sails the
other day. That was when John Tower,
the Texas COP Senate nominee, said he
would turn down the former vice presi-
dents offer to campaign for him.
The Senate seat up for grabs is the
one vacated by Vice President Lyndon
Johnson. Towers opponent is Sen. William
A. Blakley, the interim incumbent. The
run-off election will be held May 27. 1t is
expected to be close, and the assumption
was that Tower would welcome all the
help he could get
assistance, alegedly because Texans don't
and telling us what to do" is balm to
Sen Barry Goldwater of Arizona, the reco-
gnized leader of the Republican right.
Goldwater campaigned for Tower in the
primary and will help him also in the
election. Tower does not consider Gold
water an outsider or party fixture but
can theological symbol of conservatism. :
The snub to Nixon is unmistakable. Should
Tower defeat Blakley Goldwaters position
at the Republican convention in 1864 will
be strengthened.
There is one further consideration of
Importance however-this one in Nixon's
favor. Contrary to the impression left by
the recent flood of Goldwater publicity,
large numbers Of Republicans have no use
for the backward looking theology that he
and Tower exemplify. Among these Repub-
licans, there may we'll be considerable
feeling that being rejected by Tower
boosts Nixon's political stock.

THE PREACHING PROFESSION

While some of US do not realize it,
the role of the clergymen in our COM
munity has become role represented by
men who have undergone many years of
specialized training. The old days, when
anyone who felt inclined to preach picked
up Bible and began preaching, are fast
going out of fashion.
While there are not any standardized
requirements for the ministry, and never
will be, and while such is not desirable,
it is nevertheless true that long years of
preparation and study are increasingly
demanded of our clergymen.
The job itself, which is another thing
some people fail to understand, is a trem-
endously demanding one. The clergyman
who attends to all his duties, the sorrows,
the details, the preparation of inspirational
sermons, the counseling and the tending
of the many people, who need support, ad-
vice, comfort or encouragement is working
a seven-day week, and often a twenty-four-
hour day.
When we consider the training the
study and the experiences which all go into
the process of developing the average
clergymen, it makes us realize that the
benefit from their services, and their in
dividual WORTH is measureless, and reminds
some of us that they are among US to serve
and that we should take advantage of their
counsel perhaps more than we do.

Wednesday "is distinguishable
upon the facts" from a United
States Court Of Appeals case
cited by Mr.. Gasch in his re-
quest that a writ Of mandamus
be issued by the Municipal
Court Of Appeals, forcing the
Judge to change his decision.
Gasch's Contention
Mr.. Gasch's petition con-
tended that acceptance of the
guilty plea in spite Of the de-
fendant's record Of mental
illness was an abuse Of judicial
discretion.
In his motion opposing Mr..
Gasch's petition, Judge Kron-
helm contended that both D. c.
Code requirements and the
United States Court Of Appeals
case had been carefully COM
piled with in the exercise Of
judicial discretion"
He cited q 1851 case in
which the Municipal Court of
Appeals denied the United

through a. writ Of mandamus,
Judge Kronheim be forced to
deny a jury trial to a woman
being prosecuted for practicing
the healing arts without a

court noted that a writ Of man
