...week is hardly enough time for the seven-man committee on federal judiciary to investigate the legal, financial and ethical background of five virtually unknown individuals or even a U.S. Senator. For that matter, White House aides said last week that Nixon may go beyond the six-man slate for his choices and could be considering as many as 15.

The interests of these same politicians are served by Cronin's decision...

Supporters of President Nguyen Van Thieu, now the sole candidate in the Oct. 3 elections, blanketed the country with tens of thousands of posters advertising his "democracy slate." The President himself was in an expansive mood. In a meeting with supporters from the provinces, he declared that he would hesitate to remain in office if he received less than 60% of the votes; the week before he had put the figure at only...
