Young spoke at a crowded impromptu news conference on the White House talk with the lawn after a half-hoPresident. He said Carter had not asked him to resign as chief United States delegate to the United Nations. Asked if the President had encouraged him to continue to speak out, Young replied: I dont think he has to encourage it, but he didnt tell me to shut up, either. Monday, the White House had said the President did not agree with Youngs description of former Presidents Ford and Nixon as racists in the Playboy interview, taped 10 weeks ago but published only this week in the July issue. Both at the White House and on Capitol Hill Tuesday, Young explained, as he had Monday, that he had not intended to impugn the character of the former Presidents but only to suggest an insensitivity to differences in race and culture that handicapped American foreign policy in countries with nonwhite majorities. Democrats, Too When asked at a House International Relations Committee hearing if this definition of racism would not apply to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson as well as to their two Republican successors, Young said, Yes, it would. Later, when a reporter asked if the even Abdefinition might include raham Lincoln as a racist, Young replied, especially Abraham Lincoln. Then he added, with a laugh, There I go again; I've given you another headline. Meanwhile, Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona joined in a Republican attack on Young, saying after emerging from a White House meeting involving the B1 bomber, He can get both feet, both hands and his hat in his mouth at the same time. Told of Goldwaters remark after his own White House session, Young said: The Republicans have really had so little to criticize in this administration that if I didnt do what Im doing I think theyd have to invent me. Then he added to the reporters: In a way I think thats what you guys are doing trying to invent me. Still Has Support It seemed evident that despite the latest of many political storms blown comup by Young's ments, he still had the support of his 'longtime friend and fellow Georgian, President Carter, who talked him into accepting the United Nations post. Asked if Carter was concerned about the criticism of Young, Jody Powell, the White House press secretary, observed that the President is not unaccustomed to criticism. Young said he had not offered his resignation to Carter because such an He knows offer was not necessary. that Im not depending on my friendship or anything like that to keep a job, he said. Any time Im not doing a job in the interests of this nation, I dont have any doubt that he wouldnt hesitate to ask for my resignation. I think he appreciates the job Im doing and that 1 was appointed to do. Asked if he interpreted the Presidents attitude as a vote of confidence, To say you get a vote Young replied: of confidence would be to say you needed a vote of confidence. Earlier, at the House committee session. Young said he would much rather be fired for trying to do what is right, to help the country, than to be a retired successful ambassador who never did anything. If I were to think primarily of my own survival, I might endanger the country, he said. Asked by Rep. Clement J. Zablocki, the committee chairman, if he would not try harder henceforth to be more of an ambassador and less of a politician, Young, a former Georgia congressman, replied: I cant promise, Mr. Chairman.

Some Bleak Years Not since Elizabeths coronation 24 years ago had so many Britons turned out for a national celebration, and their fervor testified to the immense popularity of the woman who has ruled through some of the bleakest years of Britains history. When her reign began, unemployment was at 203,000 and the pound was one of the proudest currencies in the West. Today there are 1.31 million jobless, the pound is worth four times less than 25 years ago and Britain is staggering under a $.17 billion foreign debt. The celebration marked her accession to the throne on Feb. 6, 1952, when her father, King George VI, died. Her formal coronation came 16 months later. The jubilee was scheduled for June in hopes of good weather. The British had prepared for months for the event, covering their island nation with banners, flags, posters and slogans.
