Taylor Senator Kennedy Seen Ready to Run in 1976 - BOSTON Kennedy clan insiders here privately make no bones that Sen. Edward M. Kennedy is "off and running" for the presidency in 1976. They call his apparent indecision "simply smart politics." In a short, as false as a plaster cast on a wooden leg. Additionally, the truth comes out about In fact, among the Kennedy clan here in Boston you feel a wave of deja vu. Readers may recall the "Draft Edward Kennedy for President" maneuver at the 1968 Chicago convention. This was carefully fed out by Mr. Smith and other Kennedy agents secretly holed up in a Chicago hotel and utilizing a direct telephone line to Mr. Kennedy in Mr. Kennedy's highly publicized Alabama visit honoring Gov. George C. Wallace. The Kennedy clansmen contrived to announce this as at the Governor's invitation. But the truth is different. I was in Montgomery and you can bet your bottom dollar that Governor Wallace was amazed by the whole affair. What actually happened is thai the editor of the local Decatur, Ala., newspaper that gave Governor Wallace this year's Audie Murphy award wanted many national figures to attend but could not get through to Senator Kennedy. Staff To Staff In desperation the Decatur editor telephoned the governor's press officer in Montgomery. Unknown to Governor Wallace, his press officer made the call to Senator Kennedy's Washington office staff. The first thing Governor Wallace knew of this was a call from Senator Kennedy 10 days later accepting! In simple truth, Govsrnor Wallace couldn't have been more taken by surprise if the Montgomery Capitol dome had vanished into the air. But Kennedy clan insiders say Mr. Kennedy grew as nervous about the results as a spinster in the Casbah. His Alabama foray threatened his scenario of not seeking the power and glory of the White House. Today, however, Mr. Kennedy is convinced that the aberration in his scenario's chart yielded more pluses than minuses. Old Formula Senator Kennedy's scenario is basically a rerun of his 1968 undercover manipulation for the presidency. And, again the tactics are in the hands of Kennedy's brother - in - law Stephen Smith who likewise braintrusted Edward Kennedy's 1968 undercover push for the White House. Married to sister Jean, Mr. Smith is operating from a a New York office, busy around the clock. Mr. Smith, however, did not originate the ploy. He got it from brother - in - law Robert F. Kennedy. Robert Kennedy used the identical diversion formula throughout the period from President John F. Kennedy's assassination until he was ready to openly declare for the presidency himself. i i the family compound at Hyannisport. No Support Mr. Kennedy's undercover try for the presidency failed when Mr. Smith delivered him a double - crusher that Mr. Kennedy's hoped for help from Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy and Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley would not come to him and that the big labor controlled delegations from Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio were sticking with -- candidate Hubert H. Humphrey. Mr. Smith telephoned these crushers to Mr. Kennedy late on the night (Tuesday) before the balloting began. Thus faced by the defeat of his "Draft Kennedy" manipulation, Mr. Kennedy unabashedly then issued a statement refusing to run for President. Mr. Kennedy did not make the same kind of undercover passes for the presidential nomination in 1972. Gan insiders here give two reasons. Nixon A Shoo-I- n First, Mr. Kennedy decided it is too hard to beat any incumbent President ending only his first term in toe White House. Mr. Kennedy's private polls convinced him a Nixon victory was all but certain. Second, Mr. Kennedy believed that 1972 was too scon after his Chappaquiddick demonstration for him to be accepted for the presidency of the United States Today, with t;me having passed since Chappaquiddick and with Watergate making the Republicans so vulnerable, Mr. Kennedy sees 1976 as the presidential opportunity which has been denied him since 1968. His smokescreen requires spraying out to the press and selected interviewers the myth of indecision. The pose includes, of course, pretended ponderings and suggested fears. The Kennedy nationwide clipping service, in turn, shows its general success among interviewers and other newsmen. Senator Kennedy's pretense is hokus, hokey. hokum totally hollow and utterly contrived. And, as proof, let me offer a Kennedy clansman's unguarded statement here last night: "Our boy wants the White House so bad he can taste it." more equal legal women are jobs heretofore accepted in reserved for men only. Women have stormed the swinging door. But is it "progress"? Who wears the britches in the family has been decided. She does.

Once again Agnew is being his own man in refuting as "damned lies." in an open press conference, any charges of wrong doing as governor of Maryland and vice president. This bnngs into a little sharper if focus certain potentialities is not indicted (or Agnew otherwise brought to legal account) for having been involved in kickbacks from state and federal contractors. If there proves to be no basis for action against Agnew. he may emerge in the same posture as President Nixon of being infercntially accused of wrong doing without conclusive proof. However much suspicion might hover either or both of them, they would be in a position to make a political response that the institution of the presidency was being hounded to destruction in an fashion. inquisitorial Intimations of this have already emerged in the Watergate hearings, and they were recessed at a moment w hen a w idely noted reaction was setting in. Numerous Senators noted an increased public sentiment that the main purpose was to "get" the President under circumstances unfair to him and to destroy the rightful powers of the presidency. Should the President's coming to the Watergate response hearings be more persuasive than previously there may be prosecutors in Baltimore, after informing that he was under Agnew ITUiimai invesuduuii. ai uuuy develop a case against him There is ample indication that they did not desire their notification of Agnew to become public. Having become public that notification tends to commit them to a course they may not be able to follow. The prosecutors will look more like persecutor, if they do not case develop an indictable against Agnew. Their letter would thus become inextricably in the patter of involved and des'ruction, presidential prime material for political outrage. Knowing as he did on June 8 of rumors criminal' his of involvement Agnew said: "We're living in a very strange environment right now. You might say .1 don't go as far as some that have characterized it as the 'day of the jackal'., but I'd have to say that there is a little bit of intolerance of the English system of justice about. I was interested ..in comment that we to the were not adhering traditional English system of 'innocent until proven guilty' but we're going to tf French system of 'guilty until proven innocent.'" Agnew went on to observe that the Watergate climate of disillusion "makes for a very to any intolerant approach who denies an accusation." The reaction will person indeed be intolerant if Agnew's "damned lies" denial is as vaporous as others in the past. But if he is not found criminally liable, then it can be made to appear that the assault on the presidential institution has been carried beyond tolerable bounds in the accusatory Watergate atmosphere of guilty until proven innocent. White House: Hard Period WASHINGTON ven apart (NEAl -E- from Watergate, the past three months at the W hite House have been a difficult period. Since the resignations of II R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, Gen. Alexander M. have Haig Jr. and Melvin made a scries of moves to open the gates and bring more people in on decisions. Haig sees that more men and women see the President and that he's briefed on a wider variety of news and commentary. An effort has been made to decentralize decisions, get officials to do more on their own, not wait for orders from the top to get them started. But President Nixon, while he sees a wider array of visitors, still likes to seclude himself. Men on the White House staff used to taking explicit orders from Haldeman, Ehrlichman or Dean tend to wait to be told what to do. Rather than searching out and bringing up proposals, or taking action they know is needed, they wait for orders more often than the new regime likes. As a result officials in close contact with the White House complain about a new lack of decision ordirection. . Mr. Nixon himself has turned more cautious. Those near to the President remark on how very deeply he is feeling the hurt of these days and how carefully he goes about conealing his feelings. This trend has been noted also by those with White House connections are who not Intimates say this hurt has caused Mr. Nixon to seek even more seclusion than before. There have been reports that the "old crew," the holdovers from the Haldeman -- Ehrlichman era, have banded into a clique and are sabotaging the new Haig-Laird-Rrv- Harlow repimp Insiders who bore no love for the old group say mis is not so. cases there has been because the aren't sure where they fit in or how they're supposed to operate under the change. And. as noted above, some are so used to taking orders under the old rigid system they're somewhat at a loss under In some some confusion the new. But a goodly number of this group knew and respected Haig when he was with Dr. Henry even during the Kissinger worst of the Haldeman Kissinger fights. According to White House sources. Haig has taken over in a level handed way. There are not longer a few favorites. He thinks of himself as a channel, not an arbiter.
