CBS reporter raps media
control of kidnap news
By Philip Hagoptan
Collegian Staff Writer
The kidnaping or Patricia
Hearst last February by the Symblonese Liberation Army la likely
to spur similar kldnaplnga ln the
future, according to one newsman covering the Hearst story.
'This first political kidnaping
won't be the last - what with the
stunning success of the SLA,'
said Clfe reporter Richard
Threlkeld.
And In comments made to a
conference of Journalists in
Fresno Saturday, Threlkeld attributed much of the SLA's sue- -
cess to the news media's willlng-
The press haa gotten a bad
- and the readers, the listeners,
are tbe poorer for it.*
Threlkeld, who joined CBS In
1966, said the nature of the story
HELEN THOMAS, chief White House correspondent for United Press
international, told members of Ihe Society of Professional Journalists
Tjturday night that she expects President Nixon to continue fighting
all impeachment efforts against him and it is unlikely he will resign.

his top aides to erect a Berlin

from unwanted visitors, cabinet

"To them he arrogated power,
if only by default, that belongs
solely to the Presldtxac* said
Miss Thomas, "and whaorehave
"Perhaps ln retrospect, the
President now wonders why he
tolerated one of Ma operatives
— Charles Colson - to brag:
I'd walk over my grandmother
for Richard Nixon.' And another
one who said 'Nixon must be
elected at all costs.' *
Miss Thomas compared the
relationship of the press to Lyndon Johnson and President Nixon
Nixon receives his news ln 30-
page summaries while LBJ was
literally  *on  top of the news."
"Lyndon B. Johnson read the
newspapers voraciously, even
when It hurt — and mostly It did.
\He had three tickers ln his oval
office going all the Ume and a
consul of three TV sets. And
)ie gave orders to his press secretaries . . . that be wanted to
land on the front page every day.*
Johnson deeply resented the Intrusion of_'the press Into his
planning and decision making,
said Miss Thomas, "but there
was with Johnson and reporters
a very human love-hate relationship.*
Miss Thomas said the 'credibility gap' Is Oral Identified
with the Johnson administration
and lt led ultimately to hla decision not to seek re-election ln
1968, but now, she said, "LBJ
Is beginning to look like Rebecca
of Sunnybrook Farm compared to
this administration."
All presidents, said Miss
Thomas, ask the press to trust
them and work with them — but
they must be honest ln their
dealing with the press and with
the public.
•When they are believed, everything is possible. When they
are not, nothing Is possible,'
said Miss Thomas.
^Continued on Page 4, Col. 2)
The SLA got their demands,*
said Threlkeld. •What they wanted
was millions and millions of
dollars of publicity ... to Illustrate their stature with other left
groups." He' said trie SLA
achieved their goals by capitalizing on the newa media's con-,
cem for Patricia Hearst's safety.
An example of thla attitude
was the second taped 'communique* from the SLA, In which
Threlkeld said Patricia Hearst

of the.kidnaping.

But now that Patricia Hearst

he said the criterion is •protecting the good name of Patty
Hearst.*

Congressman Jerome Waldle
CD-Antloch) aald Thursday Prealdent Nixon would be tmpAed
"no later than the flrat week of
June." Waldle made hla state.
'n  held  at   the  CSUF Amphl-
A source close to the House
Judiciary Committee Investigating a blU of particulars tor Im.-
peachmentsays such avotebythe
»rst week of June la 'highly unlikely."
The source said If the President turns over the 42 tapea-requested by the Judiciary Committee lt would take committee
make an Impeachment decision
based on the new evidence.
Waldle, a member of the Judiciary Committee and ln CaUfornla to campaign for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination,
aald the Committee already has
enough evidence to vote a bill for
Impeachment.
Also participating at the teach-
in waa John Van Dyke, professor
of law at Hastings Law School,
UC Berkeley. Van Dyke called the
Impeachment proceedings a "time
of high drama" for the nation.
Van Dyke said the question that
must be decided is whether the
prealdent la guilty of 'high
Crimea and misdemeanors,* but
that is "an elusive phrase and
difficult to define.*
Van Dyke said he believes that
•a breach of the public trust'
by the Prealdent could be an
•Indictable crime.*
Thla la not an indictable
crime says Nixon, but that Isn't
supported by the framers of the
constitution, • according to Van
Dyke.
The historical tradition in
England and In the United States
Is not limited ln the way the
President would have ua believe, *
Van Dyke said..
Van Dyke cited several cases
of Judges throughout American
history who have been removed
from the'bench because of coo-
duct unbecoming their position.
•We have to decide tbe President's unfitness for office on that
basla,* Van Dyke suggeeted.
Truman F. Campbell, chair
man of the Fresno County Republican Central Committee, said
the President is. being made a

that the President haa committed any impeachable offense.
Campbell took a strict view ot
the constitution's phrase 'high

Campbell considers such actions
to include treason, bribery or
fraud •not conduct unpleasant to
political opponents.'
Campbell waa pointed la hla

•I am sure I don't know what
