Stanley, By JOHN STEEN News Washington Bureau WASHINGTON Sen. Ernest F. Hollings, will oarticiDate in anv Senate filibuster against confirming Abe Fortas as Supreme Court chief justice but only on his liberalism on the tribunal. "I will join" such a talkathon "whether organized by southerners, northerns, Republicans Democrats," said Hollings, if such a filibuster is on the issues of Fortas activist record in his three years on the court. But Hollings said the threatened talkathon by 18 GOP senators including Sen.

Strom Thur mond, is "just a party effort" to prevent confirmation now in the hopes that a Republican President will be elected in November and can name the chief justice next year. "I haven't changed my mind," said Hollings, although he told newsmen here on June 26 he would not participate in a filibuster and would oppose one. At that time he hadn't decided where he stood on Fortas and Fountain Inn way Biafra and the Nigerian federalists, to get talks started, Ojukwu also announced that the airMft of relief supplies to Biafra's starving war refugees would be intensified. He said the flights might soon be in daylight for the first time, and also hint ed that he might personally visit Nigerian leader Yakubu Gowon ex-Texas Congressman Homer Thornberry, who were nominated by President Johnson to fill the vacancies on the court if 77-year-old Chief Justice Earl Warren goes through with his retirement plans. Almost two weeks ago Hol lings came out against Fortas and last Friday he said he and several other southern Democrats were discussing a "minibuster" of their own separate from the GOP one against Fortas on the justice's liberal court record.

The Republicans, led by Michigan's Robert Griffin, charge Johnson with "cronyism" because he nominal ed two old friends in Fortas and Thornberry and "lame duckism" for trying to name the new chief justice to prevent a possible GOP president next year from doing so. Hollings said he "won't join in a subterfuge of the people, and sharply criticized several GOP senators for the cronyism and lame duck issues. He pointed out that Sen. Howard Baker has said he would vote for Fortas next year after the November elections.
