The embittered Spinola, was replaced as president by the armed forces chief of staff, General Francisco Da Costo Gomes, 60. The ruling military junta said the outgoing president - who caused an upheaval in Portugal this year with his book demanding a political rather than a military solution in Portu- guese Africa - was "only a general now." ANNOUNCING his resignation "al-n--_ on nationwide television, Gen- eral Spinola claimed that "re- volutionary structures" w e r e being planned for Portugal.

CITED UPROAR: Nixon offer d to return Ford pardon them. General Costa Gomes' first act as president was to reap- point the radical Brigadier Vas- co Goncalves as prime minister, thus confirming a massive vic-l tarv fr the left- WASHINGTON (UPI) - For- mer President Richard Nixon of- fered to return his pardon in a telephone conversation with President Ford but Ford did not take it seriously, a White House spokesman said yesterday. Press Secretary Ron Nessen also told reporters that Ford thinks the pardon he gave to his predecessor "was the right course and he did it because of his conscience and convic- tions." Ford has said that he did not expect the uproar thatj the pardon brought. NISSEN said that in a tele-I phone call to Ford on Aug. 17,1 Nixon made a "passing refer- ence" to the public reaction, and offered to return the par-' don. Nessen said that he could not1 quote directly from the conver- sation but Nixon told Ford in effect "I'm sorry for the trou- ble that this has cost you. I'lla send the pardon back if this will help." Ford's response, Nessen said, was along the lines of "No, that's not necessary." Nessen said that Ford consid- ered it only a "polite gesture casual and not any form of legal offer. The President does not consider it a serious offer to return the pardon." ASKED WHY not, he replied that the manner, the timing and the way it came up in the con- versation made Ford believe that it was not a serious ges- ture. Nessen also said Ford has not decided whether he will comply with a request by a House Judiciary subcommittee to provide a fuller explanation of why he gave Nixon the par- don and also to permit counsel Philip Buchen or another White House aide to testify on the subject. Wry W-UC11. , GENERAL SPINOLA'S resig- nation came after a widening rift between his own conserva- tive ideas and those of the left- wing young officers who car- ried out last April's coup that overthrew the rightwing regime of Prime Minister Marcello Caetano. The crisis came to a head this weekend, when General Spinola Ibowed to leftwing pressure and i called off a scheduled m a s s rally by his supporters - the so-called "silent majority" in order to avoid the possibility of civil war. General Spinola said in his resignation speech to the rna- tion: "The peace, progress and welfare of the nation are being compromised by the economic crisis to which we are fast heading." HE CLAIMED that drisions were being taken incompetently and without legitimate nowers. General Spinola also attack- ed the policy of rapid decoloni-' zation of Portugal's African ter- ritories, which he helped to instigate, but has viewed with increasing obvious reluctance. General Costa Gomes is an old friend of General Spinola. Both were dismissed from their top military posts just before the April coup because of their open opposition to the old Caetano re- gime. I decline WASHINGTON sM--Prices of raw farm products dropped two percent from Aug. 15 to Sept. 15, the first decline since last spring, the Agriculture Depart- ment said yesterday. The decline ended a mid-year gain in the farm price index which began with a six per cent boost from June 15 to July 15. The index rose three percent in the month that ended Aug. 15. PRIOR to the summer climb, the index had dropped four con- secutive months. Over the past years the indicator has fluctu- ated widely, due in part to de- pressed livestock prices late last winter and drought condi- tions this summer. As of Sept. 15, the report said, farm prices averaged I seven percent below a year ear- lier. Although erratic, farm prices frequently are reflected in wholesale prices later. The Bu- reau of Labor Statistics will report on wholesale prices for September on Oct. 10. ADMINISTRATION officials have warned that con- sumer food prices will continue to go up in 1975 although Agri- culture Secretary Earl Butz has predicted they will accelerate at a much slower rate than dur- ing the first part of the year.
