Ford warns Europe of
possible troop reductions
WASHINGTON (Reuter) - A
new warning to the European Al-
lies on the issue of possible re-
ductions of American troops on
the continent came yesterday
from Vice President Gerald
Ford.
He cautioned that there could
be a unilateral cut by the United
States unless the Allies cooper-
ated in trying to find. a mutual
and balanced force reduction
with the Soviet Union.
Ford's comments were made in
an exclusive interview with Reu-
ter and came in the wake of the
disclosure by Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger that American,
British and German experts con-
ferred in Washington this week
on East-West troop reductions.
FORD SAID he was opposed to
any decrease in American troop
strength in Europe - a position
also stated by Nixon Wednesday
night in Houston - unless it
was part of a Mutual and Balanc-
ed Force Reduction (MBFR)
agreement with the Soviet Un-
ion, but he noted that there was
a lot of sentiment in the United
States for a troop cut.
"I don't like it, but it is a
fact of life," he added.
Ford said that in the MBFR
negotiations in Vienna, the Allies
should not oppose working out an
agreement with the Soviet Union.
He did not name any particu-
lar country or countries and did
not go into any specifics but said
the Allies should not take the
stand that "we won't make any
agreement with the Soviet Union
on the basis that American forces
in their present strength will be
there for ever."
THE VICE PRESIDENT,i
echoing statements by Nixon and+
others in the administration, said]
he felt there was a drift towards
isolationism in the United States+
and blamed it on the liberals on
the East Coast who had previous-+
ly been the bastion of interna-
tionalism.
British foot
LONDON IP) - France's fa-1
mous tourist handbook, the Mi-
chelin Guide, ended a 63-year si-
lence yesterday and delivered its
verdict on British food - pretty
awful.
Not a single restaurant or ho-
tel in the British Isles, including
Ireland, rated two or three Mi-
chelin stars. Three stars means
an eating place is "worth a jour-
ney." Two stars means "worth a
detour."
MICHELIN had not printed a
guide to Britain since 1911.
Michelin's findings brought
quick, and adverse, reaction from
the editor of a British eating
guide.
The Gallic guide to quality
fare found only 25 eating places
worth a single star in a survey
of 2,330 hotels and 981 restaur-
ants in Britain and Ireland.
One star denotes the kind of;
place that Michelin describes,;
frigidly, as "interesting."
The Savoy and Ritz didn't
make it. Nor did the Mirabelle,
regarded by many Londoners as
"It could be catastrophic, and
I am disappointed that they who
were wise in the 1930's are mak-
ing the same mistake that the
others did," he said. "They
haven't learned a thing."
Ford said it would destroy the
continuity of American foreign
policy if Nixon were to resign!
over the Watergate affair, as
suggested on Tuesday by Sen.
James Buckley of New York.
Ipanned,
having an excellent restaurant.
The man who headed Miche-
lin's investigation held a London
news conference, insisting that
he be called "Monsieur Dupont"
to safeguard his anonymity in
restaurants still to be visited.
"DON'T WORRY about the
fact that so few British restaur-
ants have been given stars,"
Dupont said. "Most of these
places were visited for the first
time, and we rarely give more
than one star to a place with
which we are unfamiliar."
But Egon Ronay, who publish-'
es his own guide to good eating
in Britain, said of the Michelin
Guide, "It is arrogant, chauvin-
istic and superior. The list of
restaurants is very haphazard
and full of holes.
"They choose nine restaurants
in London, seven of which are
French. Equally absurd is the
fact that some restaurants which
are outstanding from an English
point of view are not mentioned
at all. Catering here is infinitely
more varied and multifarious
than it is in France."

"B(LOW UP"
(R)
I,
NEW YORK W) - Like a hot
three-year-old, which will be its
age in April, this city's Off-
Track Betting (OTB) Corp. has
its eye on bigger stakes.
By the end of the current fiscal
year the corporation will have
contributed about $117 million
to the city and state, not to men-
tion $46 million to the horserac-
ing industry. Its weekly take is
running higher than its own-
backers predicted when it start-
ed operation April 8, 1971. -
But at least one studied opin-
ion contends that OTB's citywide
network of 123 horse parlors also
has contributed to the town's de-
linquency. Nonetheless, OTB
wants to get a piece of the ac-
tion in numbers and sports bet-
ting, too.
Not only would such expansion
be enormously profitable, in the
view of OTB's first president and
guiding light, Howard Samuels,
it would also "strike a deadly
blow against organized crime."
"WE WILL DO in five years
to organized crime what the re-
peal of Prohibition did to the
bootlegger," Samuels main-
tains.
Others say Howie' s on the
wrong horse.
"A climate has been created to
gamble," said Chief Paul Delise

crime what the repeal
of Prohibition did to
the bootlegger."
-Howard Samuels
GEO election
of the Public Morals Division' s
Organized Crime Control Bur-
reau - before he was, apparent-
ly, instructed to Say no more.
"Because it now is possible to
bet legally on horses, thousands
of people who never in the world
would have thought of betting on
football or basketball or baseball
are now betting with the
bookies."
Does legalized gambling do
more harm than good?
In New York, the answer is
elusive all the more so because
those with the best information
regard the question as "political-
ly sensitive." It cannot be over-
looked that Howard Samuels -
"Howie the Horse" as the betting
crowd calls him affectionately-
has left OTB to become a candi-
date for governor.
CHIEF DELISE made his
statement with the New York
Times last January after giving
the paper a report which claimed
illegal betting was up 62 per-
cent since the advent of OTB.
Ask the bureau about the status
of the report today and one is
given a formal statement by De-
lise's boss, Inspector William
Rockwell.
"The Delise study, completed
over one year ago, determined
that the statistical documentation
available was not sufficient to
make definite conclusions. Pres-
ent data available cannot pro-
vide a definite answer to this
politically sensitive question.
,"It would be inappropriate to
release information based on
generalization unsupported by
hard data or department policy."
There can be little doubt that
OTB - the only legal off-track
betting operation in the coun-
try - has cut deeply into the
illegal bookie's horse betting
business; as much as half, ac-
cording to some estimates. In
fact, bookies find OTB parlors
handy places to "lay off--'- re-
bet heavy wagers laid on long-
shots so a win won't wipe them
out. They used to have to go all
the way out to the track.
