"Nobody is going to force me to resign because of a list of speeding tickets. Rent Control in Cambridge will never be run fairly and impartially if tactics of this nature are used to coerce people to either resign or be fired," he added.
William W. Scranton, chairman of the President's Commission on Campus Unrest, said yesterday that President Nixon's letter commenting upon the commission's report substantially supports the group's findings.
The commission was formed to investigate the violence that resulted in the deaths of students at Kent State and Jackson State last spring. The panel's report was submitted in September, and the President's response was made public in a letter to Scranton Saturday.
The report emphasized the special role that the President must play in the effort at national reunification. Nixon stressed that many diverse elements of the society have responsibility to "bring us together again."
Scranton, however, said that he felt that Nixon's comments "are in complimentary agreement with the report" and that press and political interpretations have unfairly "pointed the finger of accusation at the President."
