Edwin Messe Ill should with- draw his name from considera- tion for the po t or u .S. attorney general. Either t hat, or his boss should do it tor him. On on hand, Meese has done th r ight, albeit ri ky, thing. In calling for a sp clal prosecutor to Investigate the charges that he falled to report loans from people who later gained federal 11.ppolntments and that he was among the Reagan aides who got to sneak a peak at the pur- loin d camp lgn me of Jimmy Carter In 1980, Me se has taken the prop r steps to clear his nam. On the other hand, the Meese Investigation wlll merely plant seeds ot doubt about the Reagan administration. The evidence made public in Senate hearings has been extremely damaging. A peclal prosecutor's investiga- tion w111 drag th story out for months. If th prosecutor r - mains true to the trend, he would probably not exonerate Meese but declar that there is not sufficient evidence to prose- cute him. The attorney general, the top law enforcement officer In the land, should have a spotless record. Meese has pots on his record that even a special pro- secutor cannot wipe clean. S n Oleg ns mu t feel a cer- tain kinship to Meese because he 1 favorlt on - a resident of San Diego and a former law pro- fessor at the Univ slty of San Dle_go. .And there Is a certain irony In that the questions asked about Meese are similar to the ones asked about San Diego Mayor Roger Hed ecock - whether the mysterious "loans" they received and forgot to dis- close were really gifts from friends and whether those loans or gifts were repaid by political favors. Until March 14 the questions about Meese sounded like the usual political cannlbalisrr. that rears its head in confirmation hearings, particularly in an elec- tion year. But last week It was revealed that Meese forgot to disclose a $16,000 interest-free loan to his wife from Edwin Thomas, who later served as Meese's deputy and then took a government job in California. A variety of lesser indiscretions have also come to light. The post-Watergate reforms in the 1978 Ethics In Government Act requires top-level govern- ment officials to report all loans of more than $10,000 they or the members of their family receive while they serve the public - April 28 is popular Already three formal events are on the calendar, and there are no doubt more. The new Hotel Inter-Continental ballroom will be inaugurated with - what els - an Inaugural Ball. Betsy and Doug anchester (he's the developer who built the otel) designated the University of San Diego hool of Nursing to be the beneficiary of the first big black-tie benefit there. And big 1 th right word - Lester Lanin's orchestra will be on hand to play and the committee is hopmg for 1,000 guests Over at Hotel del Coronado, Jack Lem- mon, Tony Curti and producer/director Billy Wilder will be the big draws for the "Some Like It Hot" dmner dance. That, of cours , is the name of the movie m which Wilder directed Lemmon, Curtis and the late aniyn Monroe, With ome scenes bot at the Hotel Del. That wa made in 1958 and released m 1959. So 1t is the 25th anniversary of the movie that the sponsoring Motion ic- ture & TV Bureau of the Greater San Dlego Chamber of Commerce i celebrating. Pro- ce ds will e tablish a scholar hip fund at San Diego State University for telecommuni- cations and film students. It all begins with cocktails at 6:30 p.m., dmner at 7!30 in the grand ballroom, with music by "The Alum- ni" To get tickets, which are $100 per per- son, call Wally Schlotter at th Chamber of Commerce. The ame night, the 29th annual Easter Ball will be held at La Jolla Country Club, with proceeds to go to Stella Marls Aca emy in La Jolla Bernie Gallant's band will play for thts one D-4 'al(.llonl)icQollnlon April 28 will be lively

and for one year preceding that service. On the surface, It ap- pears that Meese has violated that act. While the crime of non-disclo- sure may not sound too terrible compared with the sordid trou- bles of other government offi- cials during the past decade, It is a serious matter. Forty-two law professors, including 11 from Harvard Law School, wrote to the Senate Judiciary Committee pointing out that other government employees have been convicted and Impris- oned on facts similar to those that have surfaced during the confirmation hearings. It Is ironic that the job of at- torney general opened up be- cause William French Smith de- cided to step down to help in the Reagan re-election campaign - something he has done in every Re gan campaign since 1966. Th Meese affair could very well be an Issue that would help open the door of the White House to a Democrat in Novem- ber. We would hate to see the pres- idential election decided on such a side Issue as the loans to Mrs. Meese. Reagan should be judged on ls overall record and his own performance, not his coun- selor's. If Meese were to step aside now, that might be possi- ble The issue, however, goes far beyond such trivialities as presi- dential elections. Certainly Americans have grown accus- tomed to forgiving minor sins among some of its leaders as ju t the same old politics as usu- al. In our view, however, the at- torney general cannot be a poli- tician-as-usual. He must be ex- emplary, or at least more exem- plary than the average Washington coattail rider. What may be overlooked In a White House aide may be unacceptable in an attorney general. If it takes an investigation by a special prosecutor to put the name of Edwin Messe III on the executive offices of the Depart• ment of Justice, then perhaps Meese's name does not belong there. :t.ieese's desire for vindication ls understandable. We expect that President Reagan will stand behind Meese as long as Meese wants Reagan behind him. But for his president's sake, Meese should scratch his name from nomination. And ls he won't do It, his pres- ident should do it for the coun- try's sake.

The professor confronted the rather startled man, and he surprised her by readily agreeing to serve as a model. The assignment to fashion the sculpture went to Jesus Dominguez of La Mesa, wh~se works are known throughout Cahfo:n1a and who ~caches sculpting at San Diego State University.

been cast from the saint's, they said. San Diego de Alcala, or St. Didacus, belonged to the Order of Friars Minor a group that distributed food and physic~) care, and also attended to spiritual needs. He spent several years in the semi- tropical Canary Islands aiding its residents. ' The s_aint's model was gynecologist John Wilhelm, a physician who was in San Diego temporarily on a mission for Project Hope. He is now in Grenada where he is director of Project Hope's medical service and education programs. "He's helping the poor - he's doing the same thing, ••Dominguez said of the doctor. . "I was telling Terry (Whitcomb), 'This 1s spooky.' " · Wilhelm remained in San Diego just long enough for Dominguez to prepare a ~ust used as a guide for the sculpture itself. He refused to be paid for modeling, but he agreed to have Dominguez prepare a bust for his parents. Dominguez described the model as a

" joy to be around." "John wa~ just real calm and courteous with an easy-going manner - the sort of person you don't find too often," he said. "He's a handsome man with beautiful h~ir, a ni~ely sculptured nose and a very k!nd looking mouth. His eyes were also kmd." Dom(nguez's sculpture of San Diego is sometlung of a departure from his usual style. He often works in the abstract, and he seldom consciously tries to interject a message into his work. The San Diego sculpture was a little different. "I was trying to create the feeling that San Diego was a kind person - the sort of person who was giving," he said. " I'm_ not trying to make people become more kind or more giving, but just to create a mood that maybe we should give a httle more - not only physical things, but of ourselves - to make life better for someone else." . San Diego's unveiling is at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 8, in front of the Copley Library.
