Show PAGE A tium I Critique: Has Job Warming Up Businessmen non-Southe- rn young, liberal Democratic squirt named John V. Tunney wanted Murphy's Senate seat and was pressing him hard. The challenger had strength and youth and the enthusiasm of a new age. There really was no contest and 5n his Murphy must have known it A bones. Tuesday, August 10, Tunney, this victorious young man, now Senator from California in Murphys place, came in turn to the Town Hall luncheon, same hotel, same room. Today sought to prove, with Ivy League accent and Kennedy mannerisms, to a polite but not overly friendly audience that it was a worthy successor of Yesterday. Sen. Tunney was in fact exposed to his most trying type of audience and the result was businessmen doubtful. Perhaps his predecessor would have floundered equally badly addressing a ballroom full of labor leaders. At any rate, one sensed that Tunney was out of his milieu. The preplanning for the confrontation was a bit murky, too. The junior Senator from California read out to his businessmen listeners a partisan New Frontier style liberal Democratic attack on the Nixons administrations economic policies. It is not enough for the Administration to rescue Lockheed, Sen. Tunney declared, posturing earnestly over the mike. It also has the whole economy to pull back from disaster. It might start by unfreezing the $12 billion public works appropriation which the President has been sitting on, and get rolling on such things as housing construction and mass transit. The Administration has asked for time to gear up the economy, Sen. Tunney observed. We can no longer afford to indulge it in time, he declared in his most earnest manner. While the Administration sleeps, things are going to pot, he indicated, and indiscriminate suffering, he added with Democratic righteousness, is being inflicted on the unemployed. He refuses to believe the Marxist critique of the economy, the young Senator assured the businessmen that is, that you mast have war and armaments programs to gear things up. Rather, there are many socially useful projects lying about, such as pollution control and mass transit, which can serve the purpose of stimulating the economy. The Administration should exercise bold leadership to put reasonable restraints on wages and prices in order to grapple with inflation, Tunney declared. This should be done within the next few weeks, he asserted, first in the form of voluntary appeals to business and labor, and then, if these fail, by mandatory controls. There were afterwards the usual collection of nuts with axes l grind plus serious questioners. One wanted to know Tunneys views on devaluing or jvfifluatir.g the dollar. He is not an economist, the young Senator indicated, but obviously the U.S. cant get away with devaluing the dollar other countries like West and Japan Europe would follow. It is true the Germans have revalued their mark and now you get fewer marks for your dollar.

Raymond Rubin, 57; Harlem By Victor Lee PORTLAND, ORE. (UPI) -Sargent Shriver, sounding much like he did in 1961 when he lobbied for President John F. Kennedys Peace Corps, has mapped out for the American Trial Lawyers Association the creation of a "National Institute of Justice." Speaking before ATLAs 25th annual conventional here, August 5, Shriver said the concept was not without precedent, referring to the medical professions creation of a similar National Institute of Health. Shriver said such an organization, vhich would be and nonpartisan, was necessary because "injustice is fast becoming the number one problem in America, the criminal judicial system is in need of thorough review and the entire system basically is in need of a thorough evaluation." Urging the attorneys to lobby for sweeping reforms in the system, Shriver took a jab at Atty. Gen.

There remain five years until election time comes round again. Time for Today to ipen. Whether the Senator will ever warm up a business audience is still doubtful. 1, AUuUOi D Court Rejects Suit to Block Senator Tunney Tries Hard But By Kenyon Roberts ACCN News Service Editor To an LOS ANGELES (ACCN) fall of last October luncheon meeting the Town Hall businessmens group here came George Murphy, perhaps then the Senates leading conservative, fighting for his political life, his voice rasping hoarse even over the PR system, a stag at bay. Afterwards, out on the sidewalk before getting into his campaign limousine, the old vaudeville hoofer stopped and took off his coat, turningit it carefully inside out and handing to an aide. He looked awfully tired, perspiring there at the curb from the effort of having delivered a speech to a preponderantly sympathetic audience on a not particularly warm October noon. h Mitchells Department. "The Department of Justice whose batting average under Mr. Mitchell could not even help the has become Washington Senators a Department of Prosecution, and even perhaps persecution," he said. Under Shrivers blueprint, the Institute would experiment with new concepts such as judicare or the ombudsman concept, design new adjudicatory systems such as neighborhood courts and citizen mediation panels, and conduct vital legal research. Shriver, who is noted for his creation of the legal services program, outlined the institute into three separate areas. One would serve as an umbrella for the National Legal Services Corporation, currently beine Speech discussed in Congress, which would involve itself in the delivery of legal assistance to those unable to, afford private counsel. He said the second responsibility of the organization would devote itself to legal education and legal manpower. He explained that the department would fund various practical approaches at law schools across the country to initiate programs for individual areas, such as international, space or patent laws.
