WASHINGTON Just about the only thing on
which President Ford and Jimmy Carter agreed
during their final debate was how swell the

Chief Justice Warren Burger

need to clarify the technicalities so that you
couldn t he forced to release a person who is ob-

in the law And that s a reversal of position by the
Burger Court with which I do agree
There are two glaring flaws in Carter’s position.
First, the “technicalities" he mentions go to the

Ford is best qualified to assume the
awesome responsibility of leading this
nation for the next four years
THE RE ASONING Gerald Ford s a
known quantity Jimmy Carter
remains an enigma cloaked in fuzzy
rhetoric and platitudes
The election will be a close one At
the moment we don t know w ho is going
to win neither do the pollsters and ‘
neither do the politicians
We do know there are basic dif
ferences between the candidates which
we -hope you will consider
President Ford did not come into
octice as a proven leader but he has
proven himself His first task n the
agonizing aftermath of Watergate was—
to restore respect to the office of the
presidency and renew confidence in
- eur-system of government We think he
has acc mplished the task
ON THE ECONOMIC front he
brought a healthy measure of stability
Noy the economy when 1 was at Ps worst
level in recent memory trimming the
annual inflation rate from 12 to 5 per
cent
He did it under try ing circumstances
and conditions with a courageous no-
n sense no politics approach to
dowsing the fires of rising prices a
situation fueled by an opposition party
Congress seemingly bent on buy ing re
election votes with your tax dollars

75 per cent is still too high but we ve

President contrary to the continuing
theme of his opponent has exempl f ed

sincerity dedication and diligence

Second, it would be-contrary to our complete
jurisprudential system to allow the judge to admit
evidence on the basis of his personal feeling-a

IT IS TRL E that as Goldberg candidly points
out a majority of those who were protected by the
criminal justice decisions of the Warren Court
may not be nice people But in a system of con-
stitutional safeguards. personality and merit

Trouble down home for Carter
our state has benefited greatly from this law
which frees workers from mandatory union -
membership and promotes economic growth We
have an unemployment rate little more than half
the national average New businesses from all
over America are relocating in Texas and
providing unparalleled opportunity Our cost of
ving is nearly 10 per cent lower and real income
s rising faster than in union dominated states
But all that could change after November
Union bosses have had their eyes on Texas for
a long time Forced unionism in the now right-to-
work states would give them a strangle-hold on
the entire US economy To that end. unions
have contributed over a million dollars this year
in hopes of controlling two-thirds of Congress
Emmy Carter has already sold us out and
agreed to sign the repeal measure if elected
