responsible criminal action"
Earlier the Governor, At

and set trial for August 90.

the open-meeting complaint
against the trio Monday after

The Governor insisted the
Highway Board was not meet

versial rerouting issue.
Gov. Sawyer noted that the
Gazette is of "a different po-
litical faith" than he, Mr.. Foley
and Mr.. Lee and said he hoped
the papers criminal complaint
was not politically inspired.

In answering other questions,

feat in 1859 settled the legal

reported that the maritime

partners for copies of the 1859

Mr.. Goldberg said he could

pending on the topic under dis
cussion, but presumably the
council-which lacks a formal
name-would offer a sounding
board to Gov. Nelson A. Rookie
feller of New York, former Vice
President Nixon and other lead
ing Republicans outside con-
gressional ranks.
Meeting places. dates and
agendas for the council would
be determined by the eXecu-
tive committee. Mr.. Miller said
he hopes the first session will
take place this fall.
In outline, the Miller plan is
similar to the All-Republican
Conference proposed by Sena-
tor Heating, Republican Of New
York, after last November's
election deprived the G. o. P.
of the publicity and policy
making facilities of, the White
House.
Democratic Council Recalled
It is also similar in concep-
ton to the now-defunct Demo-
cratic Advisory Council, which
functioned as the policy-mak-
ing arm of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee from 1857
until the 1860 campaign.
The Democratic A Advisory
Council was opposed from the
start by the Democratic con-
gressional leaders and its lib
eral policy statements were a
source of constant controversy.
Mr.. Miller said yesterday he
believed the Republican forum
could avoid these pitfalls while
reaping some of the same pub
licity benefits the Democratic
Advisory Council achieved.
He said the proposed new
G. o. P. panel has the blessing
of Senate Minority Leader
Dirksen and House Minority
Leader Halleck. He promised
it will not try to superimpose
its views" on the congressional
leadership.
However, Mr.. Miller said he
expected each meeting of the
new council to produce a state
ment of policy on a particular
issue and plans for implement
ing 1t.
No Conflict Expected
He said he did not foresee
any conflict between these poll
cies and political Strategies and
those concocted by the Republi-
can members of Congress.
The G. o. P. chairman de-
scribed his plan for the council
as part of an effort to broaden
the base Of Republican policy
making and to give the Amer
ican people a view Of the entire
spectrum of Republican leader
ship.
Another step in the plan calls
for G.. o. P. officials from Con-
gress and the State capitols to
make appearances at the weekly
televised news conferences now
held by Senator Dirksen and
Mr.. Halleck. The so-called
summer requirements" for the
"Ev and Charley Show" will
begin showing their faces to
the public once Congress ad-
! journs, Mr.. Miller said.

Here are some of Mrs BASIS reflections
on apparel:
SHOES: so many girls are inclined to
spoil a smart outfit with flat heels Usually,
they can wear a plain pump with medium
heel And the marvellous little heels they
show for tall girls give the appearance of
dressiness without adding to height. never
wear flats except with casual clothes, such
as Stacks and shorts
HATS: Il think my pet peeve with tall
girls is that, rather than buying smart hat,
they buy these little 'nothings to stick on the
backs of their heads. If hat adds inches to
my height and it's smart don't care. l adore
hats do like. and think they are very good
on tall girls. the deep cloches, which add no
height. And, certainly. the tall girl has the ad-
vantage in the beautiful hats with wider
brimS."
DRESSES: Il would say don't like sleeve
