Senators not likely to quickly confirm Ginsburg replacement
Supreme Court nominees considered
WASHINGTON — The two final
ists who lost out when President Re
agan selected Douglas H. Ginsburg as
his Supreme Court nominee will re
ceive strong consideration again after
Ginsburg withdrew on Saturday amid
controversy over his past use of mari
juana.
Judges Anthony M. Kennedy of the
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and
William W. Wilkins Jr. of the 4th
circuit should be among those consid
ered most closely, but others will be
examined also, said a senior White
House official, who spoke only on
condition of anonymity.
Kennedy, of Sacramento, Calif.,
had been considered the favorite of
White House chief of staff Howard H.
Baker Jr., and many in the Senate and
the administration were surprised
when Reagan chose Ginsburg instead.
That choice came after Attorney
General Edw in Meese 111 lobbied for
Ginsburg and several conservative
Republican senators threatened to fili
buster against Kennedy, whom they
considered too liberal.
One leading administration con
servative said that Kennedy would be
acceptable to other administration
conservatives, including Meese.
Wilkins, of Greenville, S.C., is
chairman of the U.S. Sentencing
Commission, which devised uniform
guidelines for punishments of people
convicted of federal crimes. He is a
favorite of Sen. Strom Thurmond of
South Carolina, ranking Republican
on the the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee.
Mcese said he hoped a nominee
could be chosen in time for the Senate
Judiciary Committee to meet its
schedule for Ginsburg’s confirmation
hearings, tentatively set for the week
of Dec. 7, although the timetable was
not certain.
Terrorists' bomb kills 11 at service
ENNISKILLEN, Northern Ireland
— A bomb killed 11 people and in
jured 55 Sunday at a Remembrance
Day ceremony for Britain’s war dead
in the worst Irish terrorist attack in five
years.
The huge explosion transformed
the solemn pageant, which recalled
the thousands of Ulstermen who died
for king and country in two world
w ars, into a horror scene of bloodshed
and destruction.
Friends, relatives, soldiers and
bandsmen dug with their bare hands
through the rubble of a community
center where the bomb was planted in
this County Fermanagh town near the
Irish border. The blast blew out one
end of the building and the structure
collapsed, trapping men, women and
children against sidewalk railings.
Police said six women and five men
were killed, and many of the wounded
were badly hurlin the 10:45 a.m. blast.
A 14-ycar-old member of the Boy’s
Brigade said he was standing near the
war memorial ready to lay a wreath
when the blast came.
“I dropped the wreath and rushed to
where the wall had collapsed. People
were screaming and we did all we
could to pull them out. At 11 o’clock
we should have been remembering the
dead, not digging them out,” he said.
Call your mummy
You remember. She was
always there when you were
frightened. And if you got hurt,
she was standing by with ban
dages. Wouldn't it feel good
to talk to your mother again
v right now?
Calling over AT&T Long
| Distance Service probably
costs less than you think, too.
And if you have any questions
about AT&T rates or service,
a customer service repre
sentative is always standing
In to talk tovou. lust call
1800 222-0300.
Sure, your schoolwork and
your friends keep you busy.
But call home and find out
what she’s wrapped up in.
The right choice.
