SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY bAIPSO "MIMIMIMIP SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1966 THE MICHIGAN I)AIIV PAGuE THREEDJ 3 IrGOP 1968 National Race: Four Leaders Emerge I 00 WASHINGTON, (M) - Repub- icans are drawing the lines of combat for their next presidential nomination, with a corps of Elec- tion Day heroes ready to test po- litical fortune. Within a week or so, the Re- publican National Committee will set in motion the process of choos- ing a city for the ultimate clash- the GOP National Convention some 20 months away. For the moment, most of the likely contenders-campaign-tired or perhaps campaign-shrewd-are cautious if not silent. Photogenic, Ambitious What kind of men are potential Republican contenders? Photogenic is one word for most of them. Ambitious is another. There are newcomers, seasoned politicians-and the veteran of Republican veterans, former Vice President Richard M. Nixon. There is Michigan Gov. George W. Romney, who had stopped re- acting to White House talk as blasphemy, and now calls is flat- tering. At 59, he won his third term as governor after a career in industry. There is California's Gov. Elect Ronald Reagan, a face from the movies and the television screens, suddenly the face conservatives like best. And Sen.-elect Charles H. Percy of Illinois has two years to carve himself national ranking if he wants a spot on the ticket. And there are others, from New York City to Ohio to Oregon, who could figure in the outcome before the long months of buildup, organ- ization, primaries and state con- ventions are over. Of the party's current big four, only Percy responded to a series of questions posed by The Asso- ciated Press. Q: How do you view Republican prospects in the 1968 presidential election? A: In view of Tuesday's electioin results, the party's prospects are very good. J: How can the party best mo- bilze now for 1968, and what per- sonal role would you expect to play in the effort? A: By making the most con- structive possible record in Con- gress, within the states and local- ly. I would hope to contribute to this record.t Q: Do you believe the "Great Society" will face a major slow- down in Congress next year in view of GOP congressional gains? A: There will be a thorough audit of "Great Society" programs, but I would hope that the em- phasis would be on improving them rather than negating them. Q: Do you believe there should be changes in U.S. policy in Viet Nam? A: Uneasiness over the war was certainly a factor in the election. I would hope that the administra- tion would now begin to show more initiative and imagination in the pursuit of peace.

Nixon Nixon, vacationing from politics, is on a fishing expedition off Flor- ida. He emerged as the party's top campagn spokesman on the war in Viet Nam-and that role was enhanced when Johnson assailed his qualifications Just four days before the election. Nixon said there should be no more peace-seeking concessions. "Now is the time for decisive action in Viet Nam," he said. "The peace party always wins," he said. "I know my own party. If the war is still going on in 1968, there is no power on earth can keep them from trying to outbid the Democrats for the peace tote " Nixon traveled from coast to coast campaigning for Republicans this year. And Goldwater said the former vice president is his cur- rent choice for the nomination. Goldwater backing could be vital to Nixon's nomination prospects if a sizeable bloc of conservative delegates is returned to the next convention. Others on the Goldwater list of prospects: Percy, Reagan and Gov. James A. Rhodes of Ohio. Goldwater already has made one thing clear: He would prefer al- most anyone to Romney. The Michigan governor refused to en- dorse the national ticket Gold- water headed two years ago. Rockefeller, who has said he will never again seek the presi- dency, favors a Romney-led ticket. He has suggested New York Sen. Jacob K. Javits for second place. Gemini 12 Photographs Sun Eclipse, Astronaut To Take Two-Hour Walk, Handle Small Tools CAPE KENNEDY (A) - Gemini r 12 -pilot Edwin E. (Buzz) Aldrin Jr. charges into a searching, two- hour walk in space today, hoping to pin-point human limitations in that hostile environment. Whipping 42,000 miles through the ocean of void, Aldrin poked head and shoulders out of his spaceship yesterday for more than two hours as he and companion James A. Lovell Jr. chased the moon across the face of the sun. Aldrin was awed and chatty as he sailed through a complex pic- ture taking session of man's first, perhaps most revealing, pictures of a rare .solar eclipse from space. It proved to be a smooth sailing, flawless prelude to today's long work session outside. As the moon moved between the earth and sun, the astronauts shielded their eyes and took stills and movies of the seven-second event. However, they failed to spot the 52-mile long shadow of the moon as it swept across Peru, Boliva, Brazil and Argentina be- low. On earth, the eclipse lasted for 31/2 hours as 800 scientists charted its progress. Aldrin's space walk is designed to probe baffling questions uncov- ered by previous strollers. He will go to the rear of the spaceship where a "work bench" has been designed with some simple task task for him to do. First he will ease over to the Agena target ve- hicle to which the Gemini craft is attached, and connect a 100- foot cord for a formation flight later in the day. Then he plans to perform the tasks, like linking little hooks to little rings and big hooks to big rings. The Jobs have no bearing on the actual operation of 'equip- ment but should be able to pro- vide, future space-walkers with tips on various tethers and straps that are suitable. Meanwhile, the spaceport com- plex that launched 12 successful Gemini flights was being disman- tled. The next space program-the M a n n e d Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) will be launched from Vandenburg Air Force Base. To Appeal Ga. Run-off Court Order Atty. Gen.

"As attorney general of Georgia it is my duty to do that when a provision in our constitution is ruled void. There must be a final determination by the highest court. "The people have voted in three elections for governor this year and before they are called upon to vote again, the Supreme Court of the United States should hand down a decision." The informal but firm ruling by the three-judge federal court that the General Assembly cannot make the choice apparently means that the people will vote again unless the Supreme Court inter- venes. But when, and what the ground rules will be were the questions being asked everywhere yesterday. The principal question was wheth- er those who wrote in the name of former Gov. Ellis G.

To Replace General, -In the military-political field, Premier Nguyen Cao Ky was re- ported ready to remove Lt. Gen. Dang Van Quang as commander of the 4th Corps area, which em- braces the populous, rice-rich Mekong River delta. Quang was cool toward the re- cent introduction there of Ameri- can troops, expected eventually on a big scale, though his own men have made little progress in driv- ing guerrilla battalions from the delta. -U.S. infantrymen pressed in a rain their massive hunt in War Zone C northwest of Saigon for the Viet Cong, whose mortarmen shelled forward command posts of the 1st and 25th divisions and the 196th Light2Infantry Brigade in the night. B52 jets again loosed tons of bombs on Communist hold- ings in that territory adjoining' the Cambodian frontier. Through Friday the Americans had count- ed 926 enemy dead. The specific cause of the Hon Quan outburst was obscure, though there haveebeen reports of fric- tion between some Vietnamese rangers and U.S. troops in that rubber-growing region for several weeks. By one account an Ameri- can was clubbed to death there recently and a Vietnamese soldier was beaten up in retaliation. Reliable sources said the ran- gers used- two armored personnel carriers, part of the equipment supplied them by the United States, to crack open a wall of the recreation club and then fired into the building with automatic weapons. Spokesmen at U.S. military headquarters in Saigon said they had no information about the in- cident. Thirty-five Special Forces men are among about 70 Ameri- cans based at Hon Quan. Destruction of the five planes Friday boosted to 426 the an- nounced number of such losses over North Viet Nam. The single- day toll was exceeded only. once, when North Vietnamese gunners felled seven planes last Aug. 7. A Marine Corps F8 Crusader and two F4 Phantoms, an P105 Thunderchiefhand an, AlE Sky- raider of the Air Force were downed. Of all the crewmen, only the pilot of the Skyraider was rescued. Hanoi broadcasts at the time said "several pilots" were captured. Oddly Effective An oddity was the effectiveness of the enemy fire on a day when bad weather limited American squadrons to 78 missions, about half the number they fly when skies are clear. Pilots nevertheless reported they destroyed or dam- aged 27 barges, 28 boxcars, 14 bridges, 6 buildings and 10 anti- aircraft sites. The three helicopters were shot down while supporting ground troops in Operation Paul Revere IV near the Plei Djereng Special Forces camp, in the central high- lands 230 miles north of Saigon. Presumably each carried four or more men. A spokesman said the crews suffered heavy casualties. The count of helicopters felled by enemy action in the South rose to 218. r ""_ m By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON ()P) - Any call issued by Pope Paul VI for a Christmas truce in Viet Nam is assured of sympathetic consider- ation in Washington, but Johnson administration o f f ic i als are strongly opposed to another pro- longed, one-sided pause in bomb- ing North Viet Nam. The U.S. attitude does not rule out a Christmas lull in the fight- ing. It does, however, appear to bar any _repetition of the 37-day suspension of air strikes against North Viet Nam such as grew out of the Christmas truce a year ago. Exception The one exception would be some indication from North Viet Nam, perhaps through the Soviet Union, that a decision by John- son halting the bombing would bring- immediate, responsive steps from the Communists. The word from Hanoi would probably be clothed in diplomatic secrecy, but U.S. officials say there has been no such indication so far. As President Johnson and his top advisers see it, the aerial of- fensive against the North is one of the most potent instruments they have for bringing about peace negotiations or scaling down the Vietnamese conflict. They in- sist that any pause must be Justi- fied by some move toward peace from the Communist side. As Johnson put it Friday: "We are very anxious to always give consideration, and as sympathetic as possible, to any suggestion the Pope gives, as we did last year. But we are also anxious to have other people do likewise." This comment, a restatement of a news conference remark of a week earlier, was made as ne and roving Ambassador W. Averell Harriman talked with newsmen at the Johnson ranch in Texas. Harriman Harriman said Friday "we are hopeful" that some sign of pro- gress toward peace talks will emerge from Moscow discussions next month between the Soviets and the British. Indeed, the lack of any demon- strated interest on North Viet. Nam's part in easing or ending the conflict is seen by Washing- ton officials as the fatal flaw in the new surge of peace efforts which has developed in the last few days. These developments included a strong indication from the Vatican Press Office in Rome that Pope Paul will call again for a Christ- mas cease-fire. The appeal he issued last year resulted in a lull in the fighting and with that as a start Johnson built his own ac- tions into a peace offensive that produced a 37-day pause in the bombing of the North. Thant Request The flattest request for a bomb- ing pause came last week from U.N. Secretary-General U Thant who said the United States should stop the attacks unconditionally and without a time limit. His pro- posal appeared completely at odds with Johnson's policy. The importance of the air of- fensive over North Viet Nam as an element in the search for peace was strongly emphasized by vet- eran Canadian diplomat Chester Ronning, former envoy to Peking. He said in Montreal there was no possibility of starting peace ne- gotiations unless the bombing was halted. I/il/el Can Jews Be Pacifists?

ALL ARE WELCOME Cutler Regulations Ban Sit-Ins; JJC To Decide on Punishments By The Associated Press MOSCOW - U.S. Ambassador Foy D. Kohler, summing up a four-year tour of duty in the Soviet Union, said yesterday he had witnessed extreme highs and lows in U.S.-Soviet relations and expressed belief that over the long pull relations are likely to im- prove. The 58-year-old career diplomat wound up his round of farewell calls yesterday and will leave to- morrow for Washington to become deputy undersecretary of state for political affairs. He is being re- placed by the ambassador he suc- deeded in September 1962, Llewel- lyn E. Thompson. ROME-Fear grew in Italy yes- terday that flood-tainted food from the agricultural area inun- dated in the Italian floods might find its way into commercial markets and endanger the health of consumers. At Ravenna, south of Venice, health officials reported a poultry company had attempted to include 300 flood-drowned chickens in a shipment for export. Soldiers labored to bury or burn the bodies. The Interior Ministry ordered more men on the job and told public security forces to send frogmen protected by rubber suits and masks into high water areas to help in the disposal operation. (Continued from Page 1) sit-in on Sept. 30) won't be allow- ed to happen again. "This new regulation is some- thing that a University consensus has agreed is now necessary. It's like President Hatcher says, you don't need a rule unless someone forces you to have it." The regulation says that if a student fails to appear to answer the charges before JJC, jurisdic- tion will be waived to Cutler. "Failure to appear or refusal to answer charges before" Cutler "will constittuesgrounds for sus- pension." Cutler's new regulation does not limit "the right to public picket- ing, authorized rallies, vigils, demonstrations, marches, or other legitimate means of protest." Cutler said his office will toler- ate "discussion, debate, dissent, but not disruption." Cutler has established the in- terim regulation while he formu- lates a comprehensive disciplinary system. "I suppose that in the final reg- ulations there will be some kind of codified enactment of this reg- ulation and enforcement pro- cedure." Cterti haA rprted tn the Re- said that he was "not surprised" by the new regulations. The administration is "just ex- pecting the worst. They just want to keep all fronts covered," he said. "We've been expecting this kind of thing to come along and we'll just have to take that into con- sideration on our plans." Student Government Council President Ed Robinson, '67, voic- ed dismay that Cutler did not consult students in formulating the rule. ,"Time after time he (Cutler) does things for the bene- fit of the students without ever talking to the students- in actual formulation of the rule." Cutler said that the new reg- ulation has been "discussed with the faculty, not in term of the specific enactment but in terms of the general intention. I talked it over with some of the univer- sity deans in a general way. "I think this is something the University has agreed is neces- sary," said Cutler. "The Univer- sity always runs its business in an orderly fashion. This repre- sents no change. It's regrettable that we have to have this kind of rule, but we do." 1.
