Unheard Call. Then in succession came Administration policy on school-desegregation guidelines, voting rights, the nominations to the Supreme Court of Clement Haynsworth and G. Harrold Carswell, and the departure from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare of Leon Panetta, who had been a determined fighter for desegregation of schools in the South. "And let's use the right word," said Brooke. "He was fired...

The pattern coalesced last week with extraordinary swiftness: > The White House ordered the firing of Leon Panetta, the liberal lawyer who heads the civil rights division of the Department of Health, Education and Weifare. Panetta, 31, was forced out because of his allegedly excessive zeal in coercing Southern school districts to integrate under threat of losing their federal subsidies.
