Su,.eme Court Fights WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Supreme Court opened a new term yesterday with a vigorous give and take argument sparked by Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justice Abc Fortas over one of the court's loudest critics, George C. Wallace. The nine justices stepped into the 1968 political picture on the first day traditionally reserved for brief formalities- by hearing Wallace's appeal to have his name on the Ohio ballot for the Nov. 5 election as the presidential candidate of the American Independent Party. Warren, whose hopes to retire were foiled by the Senate's refusal to confirm Fortas as l1is successor, smilingly took his customary seat for his 6th term. There were no allusions to the bitter Senate battle over Fortas and the Warren court in recent weeks.
