Can it One morning next week, Jimmy Carter may open his mailbox to be greeted by an avalanche of beef and pop cans. No, the presidential mail room hasn't been mistaken for the Department of Sanitation. It's an effort by the National Clearinghouse on Deposit Legislation, which has decided that the clatter of thousands of cans is a lot more effective than a deluge of letters to support mandatory returnable beverage containers. Yesterday, Ann Arbor'S U.S. Rep. Carl Pursell, (R-2nd District), helped launch his own can on its way to the White House from the Stadium Blvd. post office. Better save those cans, Jimmy.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP)-Acting U.S. Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti suggested yesterday that the questioning of Tongsun Park in the in- fluence-peddling scandal may not result in any indictments of present U.S. officials or members of Congress. Civiletti; chief U.S. interrogator of Park for four days, told reporters, "In-t all likelihood, there will be very few possible criminal cases." The few cases t that do result, he added, would apply "primarily if not exclusively" to for-t mer officials and private individuals. THE JUSTICE Department official said, however, that the testimony has been "extremely useful." Civiletti told a news conference prior to his departure for Washington that news reports about Park's testimony in Seoul were "grossly exaggerated or widely speculative" and that there was no evidence of "certainly criminal con- duct on the part of any vast number of people, either former officials or present." He added, "I shuddered from time to time when such exaggerations were made." ASKED IF he meant he expected no indictments against current' congressmen, Civiletti replied, "I didn't say that, but that would be a reasonable inference from what I did say." N.Last week Rep. Bruce Caputo (R- N.Y.), a member of the House Ethics Committee who attended the first two sessions of interrogation, told reporters Park admitted handing out "hundreds of thousands of dollars" to "an awful lot of people," including members, of both houses of Congress. The New York Times further repor- ted that Park told his questioners that he gave $750,000 in coert gifts and cash payments to U.S. officials and political campaigns from 1970 to 1975. THE TIMES said $200,000 in cash was given to former Rep. Otto Passman (D- between the U.S. and the South korean governments after Park and Seoul authorities first refused testimony.

Richard Hanna of California, and Cornelius Gallagher of New Jersey, both Democrats. Civiletti headed the interrogation of Park for four days. Five associates, under the leadership of prosecutor Paul Michel, were to continue the questioning for another seven days or so. In describing Park's testimony as useful, Civiletti said he obtained direct evidnce and testimony from Park "which will be helpful for evaluation and Justice Department in- vestigation." CIVILETTI said the fourth day of in- terrogation mainly concerned Park's rice dealings in America, whether he had acted as a commission agent han- dling Korean purchases of American rice. Park left Washington in the fall of 1976; amid reports that he was suspected of being the key figure in the Korean payodd scandal. He was indicted sub- sequently by a federal grand jury on 36 counts of bribery and other charges.
