A Black Leader who on fought successfully for political free Dom for his people against a regime far setter and More determined than any that Ever stood in the Way of Martin Luther King and Andrew Young has spoken to key senators and commentators and Topes he has made his Point that the eco comic persecution of Rhodesia is Unwar ranted unjust and hazardous to the pros peels of a biracial society which is what Rhodesia would become the Only such Duety in Africa the rest of them being elite All Mack racist or All White racist. Why Bishop Muzorewa was asked a he not approached Black leaders in America and asked them for their sup port the Bishop hedged. Flare is you see the problem of an Drew Young conspicuously perhaps ant conspicuously the figure in the cuter administration who remains Ada int in declining to give the present re 0mf a Chance. It would seem i re marked to the Bishop the Way things Are Ping if Andrew Young announced that a Lingle had four sides other Black leaders to America would nod their Heads in  if that is the Case said Muzorewa a Ihly skilled polemicist Why do you Mest that i should approach other Black Hie Point was neatly made. Why go after Ben Hooks of the a act. Or Vernon William Safire is hurting Blacks of Asom hanging on to him T. Alleged representative of the Ameri can people for the worst of reasons. I ref Artel y de mines his own authority which is of incidental concern he reinforces the conviction that thinking lacks will cease to think and morally sensitive Blacks will cease to discriminate if the political Fate of a single prominent Lack politician is at stake. As the voters of Harlem finally had enough of Adam Clay ton Powell or. And let him  in due course the Black voters of America would Register their re Lief that the most prominent of their representatives has been removed from the podium whence he embarrasses Al americans by a blurred sense of reality and n tendency to mischievous indeed sometimes revolting allegations. C Wum Noton sur synd pm a and a constituency that re Fidelity to anything he says As us Elbl the Jewth Community has Yoyng t the state of Israel but the state of Israel is not _ if you examine " e analogy closely Andy Young. It is Cue i Atli every prominent american jewish Leader were to accept As doctrinal every pronouncement of Menachem  analogy might be made. But there Are Many jewish leaders who have criticized begin s holy intransigence. Moreover. There Are Many jews who Are backing be Gin because they fear that to fail to do so would be tantamount to letting Israel Down. I believe them to be wrong and of course the opposition in the Knesset devoutly believes them to be wrong. But the  Justice dept. Goofed on Passman trial site Long ago i railed at the Way the ethics committee Given Media lability by sacred Cowboy Leon a failed to get the testimony of the kit South korean ambassador and a fwd let a dozen senior congressional we go free. Embarrassed the House juju expressed new interest in ambassador no. A Fowler us observe How the Carter jus department did its fumbling Best to Montne scandal. April 11,1077, it was pointed out Here Granner Louisiana congressman Otto wan was a prime suspect in the invest in into illegal payoffs. However at a Rotten request of House speaker tip pow. A longtime Passman crony the up department was helping to defend 2311�n an unrelated Case of sex Dos waa Uon brought against him by a employee. The question at that time Why was the Justice department helping Passman to obtain his cooperation we now know Pas Sman s Amicus is purely to Honor o Neill a request and tip is anxious that Passman know who has been helping to de fend him. On March 31.1978. After a year of horsing around. Justice finally indicted pass Man in two cases one. For taking bribes of $223,000 from ton Sun Park and two for income tax evasion. That figure was surely Othelow Side Park said he gave Pas Sman about $477,000. The object of the Passman prosecution Wavis so much to put one to year old Man Jat but tog him to talk about what sit s4 members of Congress got Onessus that Passman was not Only a taker. Vast Riutor. We have evidence that Park payoff and can assume that portions. Of that half million in Cash went to Pas Sman , Justice wanted to put the fear of jail in the old Man he is said Mohave told friends that if convicted he would talk in Exchange for his Freedom. His greatest fear a District of Columbia jury. Colum co is ments which tends to convict As watergate know his greatest Hope a Hometown judge and jury who cd be much gentler Toa longtime Piura of the Community. Here is now Passman s defense counsel _ James Hamilton and Camille gravel made monkeys out of the Justice depart Hiler a ruling by a Tough . A wage that the ailing Passman was competent to Sand trial. Passman s attorneys asked that the two cases bribery and income tax evasion be consolidated. Department mulled this Over and did not object. You cannot Finde at Justice willing to take response for that decision today. Since thenot oppose the request to did  a Law that requires in the defendant for a Transfer to Louisiana of the joined cases. Tie Justice department lawyer gulped and tried to Stop the Transfer but were then in the untenable position of ask ing for two trials on the combined cases. Judge Harrington Parker chided the Justice depart edit for being temporarily unmindful of the consequences of the Case coupling adding that Justice May have been finessed by the defendant s at  he then sent the trial to monroe.la., which is equivalent to taking the watergate conspirators away from . To Orange county in California for prompt acquittal or at most a suspended sentence. As a result. Justice has no leverage atall on the Man who is charged with taking the most Money in the Korea Gate  he other satraps in Congress who just finished heaving sighs of Relief at the Jaworski Cave in now breathe even easier at the narrow escape of Otto Passman who might have been the source of consider Able  this stupidity or venality Paul Michel of the Justice department Section laughingly called Public  insists we were aware of the possibility that both cases might end up in  heals admits that the original decision to proceed with both indictments was cleared with the politically sensitive Deputy attorney general Ben  Korea Gate the record is abysmal 1 Justice waited until ton Sun Park fled the country before indicting 2 Justice made no real attempt to get ambassador Kim testimony 3 Justice withheld from the ethics committee evidence found in Tong Sun Park s Home evidence that was later found embarrassing to tip o Neill. And now the Passman goof. That s the Way one party s investigation of itself ends not Ith a bang but a whimper.
