Busing case in for fight 2 Color Country pact rum, WtdMdy 1,71 Joe CCemnedly enters polit ocs Although NAACP leaders who protested to Levi in person Tuesday believe Solicitor General Robert Bork originated the idea, Ford has been on record opposing Garrity's orders for Boston. Ford told a news conference in October, 1974, "I have consistently opposed forced busing to achieve racial balance as a solution to quality education and therefore I respectfully disagree with the judge's order." "Certainly this has not been done with my consent or direction." But White House press secretary Ron Nessen said Tuesday Ford had asked Levi to request the Supreme Court "to re-examine busing as a remedy" and left Levi to choose the case. Ford wanted Levi to choose "an appropriate case" to enable him to suggest that the court "explore alternative solutions that would be less destructive to community life," Nessen said. WASHINGTON (UPI) A storm brewed today over Attorney General Edward Levi's plan to croose Boston's school desegregation case for President Ford's requested reexamination of busing as a remedy for discrimination. Sen.

Edward Brooke, scheduled a meeting with Levi today to protest, and both sides busing foes and civil rights leaders were meeting with him to present their views. Sixteen civil rights figures and public officials sent a letter to Levi Tuesday. "We are shocked that you may put the United States government on record for turning the clock back on school desegregation and that you are allowing the integrity of the Justice Department to be undermined," the letter said. Levi has drafted a proposed memo asking for a review of the busing orders U.S. District Judge W.

Arthur Garrity Jr. has issued for Boston and is expected to decide this week whether to file it with the -Supreme Court. Brooke, the Senate's only black member, told reporters Monday Ford had assured him. BOSTON (UPI) Joe Kenned; eldest son of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy, is learning the family business politics.

But he's not discussing his own plans yet. Kennedy, 23, a recent graduate of the University of Massachusetts, is running the re-election campaign of his uncle, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. In a fifth-floor office cluttered with sheets of figures and maps of Massachusetts voting districts, he chose his words carefully. "I don't have one of those master plans in the back of my mind about what I'm going to do.

I want to get my uncle reelected on Nov. 2 and that's an awful big goal to be working for right now," he said Tuesday, sidestepping a question about his own political future. Kennedy is new to politics but he shows signs of enjoying the fray. Dressed in a wrinkled yellow shirt and rumpled gray suit, he deftly avoided backing a presidential candidate. "To tell you the truth, I've been really concentrating an awful lot of my efforts on my uncle's campaign and have not been paying strict attention to the day-by-day proceedings of the individual candidates," he said.

"Right now I'm going through a learning process of who the individual candidates are, as I think most of the country's been doing though the primary system," he said. Desegregation of Boston schools appears the most volatile issue facing Senator Kennedy, who has supported a controversial busing plan ordered by U.S. District Judge VV. Arthur Garrity Jr. Kennedy said his uncle will hit hard on unemployment and the economy but was less clear about how the busing issue would be approached, World has favorite birth control form nraQDAaims TOCIEY lb.

Birch Bayh, a former presidential candidate, said the party platform should endorse a bill now before the Senate to break up big oil companies and warned that without such endorsement "this issue will come before the full convention in July." W. Averell Harriman, former U.S.

ambassador to Russia, said America should pursue detente with the Soviets but should also stand ready to counter Soviet-backed "Communist subversive action in many parts of the world."
