KA LNINS ON . .. q onmar The Rise And Fall of A President Although president Richard Nixon left the White House two weeks ago,he's still very much in the news. Practically, everywhere - in the bars, restaurants, cocktail parties, social gatherings and in the streets - his sudden departure is aired from every possible angle. It seems to me that people here and elsewhere in the United States will rem- ember the Nixon regime for years to cone. Despite the assurance fromî the newly-appointed Presi- dent of the United States, Gerald R. Ford, that the Water- gate scandal is over, nany seasoned political observers have expressed rese;vation about his inaugural statement. They believe that Watergate post morten is just about to begin which could easily implicate a few more people in the former Nixon administration. This could only be avoid- ed. they concede, if no legal action is sought against the ex-President for the Watergate coverup. Most p )ple in Washington believe that Nixon and lis Local Employment Conditions From the Canada Man- There is continuing demand power Centre in Oshawa and for dayworkershousekeepers, Ajax we have the following babysitters and nursing home report of job opportunities. personnel in the Oshawa and Vacancies are listed for Ajax areas. a rodman or wornan, civil Skilled and semi-skilled draftsman, manager trainees, vacancies currently include aconstruction superintendent, welders, machinists, sheet mechanical engineer, housing metal workers, an electrical inspector, a sign painter, civil repairman, an industrial truck technician, a personnel off- mechanic, a refrigeration me- icer, an instrument man, chanic, a construction equip- nurse aides, registered nurses, ment mechanic, engine lathe and accountants at either set-up operators, a screw ma- CGA, RIA or CA level. chine set-up operator, a metal Clerical listings include a pattern maker, automobile & bookkeeper, and an order industrial spray painters, a clerk for building supplies. woodworking machine set-up Sales personnel are requir- operator and an office ma- ed for life insurance, adver- chine serviceman.

The resignation from the nation's top post in most circles is viewed here as the greatest humilia- ation a President of the United States can receive. Further, he has been already convicted by fellow politicians, the press, the Congress and a public at large without being given the opportunity to present his case in the courts - the proper place for an offence of this nature. But, some people who are seeking revenge, might still bring Nixon to the courts. The general mood around Washington these days is one of sadness, anger, nostalgia and jubilation in some political quarters. I felt that most Americans I talked to felt sorry that Nixon had to go. Many believe that the former Presi- dent was a victim of circumstances and to some degree a victim of political mud-slinging. Basically, what the people are saying here is: no one is perfect in the high and mighty places, but Nixon, unlike the otliers got caught. And that was his downfall. As a Canadian, I was often asked to express my own opinion over Nixon's resignation. The opinion which I have outlined before in this space still stands: Nixon was a great political leader of this century, but a poor cover-up agent for his closest friends. In fact, he was a poor crook. The best crooks never get caught. It is interesting to note that Washington is buzzing with the media from all over the world. It is not difficult to meet some of the nation's top newsrnen who helped to WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21st, 1974, PAGE 9 dethrone Richard Nixon. It seems to me that some of these press pundits are practically running the Government. Take, for instance, James Reston of The New York Times or the syndicated columnist Jack Anderson. Both are well read at the White House, not to metion the influence they carry across the nation. Then, there are hords of accredited correspondents from newspapers around the world who trample the White House ground. Nothing is left unearthed. Now that Nixon is "out" and Ford is "in", the rumor mills are busy once again. Already, some accusations have been voiced about the new President who has not promised any radical changes in the administration. As one reporter put it: "The Michigan Mafia has moved in". .The general concensus is that Gerald Ford will continue the Nixon policies and therefore he's not the right mai for the nation's highest office. Many people also fear Ford for his domestic policies which may prove to be the same - just a different label, as one rnight say. The new President has many friends in the Congress, but the nagging question remains: how long will the honeymoon last? Best, however, I like this remark which 1 overheard in a local bar: "Presidents come and go. What's the difference, They all have one thing in common - money, power and glory ..... well, chap-bottoms up!"
