Nominee Gets a Hand

Caption: “A White House aide cleared a path through
cameramen for Supreme Court nominee Sandra Day O’Connor yesterday as she arrived in
Washington, D.C., hoping to head off conservative opposition to her approval by the Senate . She will meet with Strom Thurmond RS.C., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Jesse Helms R-N.C., a leader of
Republican conservatives in the Senate. The
Moral Majority and anti-abortion organizations have expressed opposition to O’Connor
because they believe she supports legalized
abortions and ratification of the Equal Rights
Amendment for women.”
