enki sniortinndegesnerpnte ardent CEM SRLS PRET ol i PETER RE TP IRIAN ETN HS TES (Mount Clipping in Space Below) _ Spiro T. Agnew, who used to call the head- lines home, was back on Page 1 last week throwing into the air a double-nandfui of dirt and dust. The crime of breaking the law that he had sworn to uphold was, he now says, only just one crime; the resignation in disgrace from the vice presidency right after saying he ‘ . would never resign followed some unspecified “crushing blow”. Evidently Mr. Agnew esti- mates the life span of a generation of newspa- per readers at two years. Experienced news- paper people give the public credit for a somewhat longer memory than that, and more intelligenéé as to right and wrong. If Mr. Agnew seeks rehabilitation in the eyes of fellow-Marylanders, fellow-Republi- cans, fellow-cheaters and noncheaters, there ‘is a proven though slow way to go about it. That way does not include bellyaching, wea- seling dnd trying to distort the clear and plain historical record. What it does include is liv- ing an open, useful, upright life. Americans tend to stress the here and now in any case. A reformed criminal with an honest desiré to in- stil honesty in voters and future voters, office- holders and future officeholders, is in an ex- cellent position to inspire by his living, day-to- " day example. : Many of Mr. Agnew’s old constituents hope . that he will yet acknowledge reality and, in time ahead, take the high road. ot COPY SENT a TO RUREAU ON_4 & (Indicate page, name of newspaper, city and state.) —— SUN PAPERS -— PAGE A=-10 —BALTIMORE, MD.’ ’ Date: 11/. 3/7 5 ‘Edition: 5 STAR Author: EDITORIAL Editor: Title: * Character: 58-4483 Submitting Office: BA Classification: | Being Investigated
