Page 2-Sunday, January 15; 1978-The Michigan Daily IF TREATY DEFEATED: Panamanian riots hinted PANAMA CITY (AP - If the Panama Canal treaty is rejected by the U.S. Senate, seasoned political observers in Panama say it is inevitable that the student mobs will take to the streets. "The only question," one Ameri- can expert says, "is which way the mob turns - toward the Canal Zone, or the palace." THE STATEMENT reflects the tenuous situation that Gen. Omar Torrijos faces in his own country if opponents of the treaty prevail when it comes to its.expected Senate show- down early this year. Torrijos, who ousted a newly elected president in 1968, is no longer at the zenith of power, according to foreign diplomats and other observ- ers. With Panama facing continuing economic miseries and heavy gov- ernment debts, the canal treaty has proved a useful political issue for him.. The buildup to last October's national referendum on the canal treaty, says one American expert, brought a "blossoming of free speech" in which Torrijos purposely let the issue be vented by all sides. "It was a field day for the opposi- tion," he recalled, until the last few Capitol crowds pay last tribute to HHH (Continuedfrom Page ) casket was laid on the Lincoln catafalque a private prayer service for the Humphrey family was conducted by the Rev. Edward Elson, chaplain of the Senate. "Surely he was one who did justly, loved mercy, and walked humbly before thee all the days of his mortal life," Elson said.

Mrs. Muriel Humphrey, the senator's wife of 41 years, was escorted by Vice President Walter Mondale and his wife, Joan. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and his wife walked into the rotunda and stood silently, their hands clasped, their heads bowed. SENATE DEMOCRATIC Leader Robert Byrd and Republican Minority Leader Howard Baker led a handful of fellow senators into the vast room. Mrs. Humphrey greeted many of her. husband's mourners with a kiss, a hug, a smile. And tributes to Humphrey continued to pour in from around the world. FORMER JAPANESE Prime Minister Takeo Miki announced in Tokyo the government will donate $1 million to the Humphrey Center at the University of, Minnesota. He praised Humphrey for "distinguished service" to U.S.-Japanese relations and recalled that as vice president the Minnesotan facilitated the return to Japan of U.S.- occupied Bonin and Okinawa islands. In Jerusalem, Prime Minister Menahem Begin eulogized Humphrey as "unforgettable, one of the greatest friends of the nation of Israel andthe Jewish people." days before the polling, when things tightened up a bit. FOR TORRIJOS, who took power in a military coup and has the Guardia Nacional - Panama's na- tional police - as his only organized power base, it was an important show of democracy in action. And his political standing got a boost of credi- bility when voters approved the treaty by a margin of about 2-1. But by exploiting the treaty as an issue, Torrijos also has been running great risks. Some U.S. analysts here agree with exiled former President Arnulfo Arias, the man Torrijos ousted, who told two U.S. senators recently that if the treaty is rejected, Torrijos is finished. Trouble for the "Maximum Chief," as Torrijos officially is known, would not have to come from the commun- ists - who are not a strong factor in Panamanian politics, these observ- ers say - or other declared foes of Torrijos and the treaty. THERE IS NO assurance, they say, that even the Panamanian Students Federation (FEP), the most pro-government of Panama's fractious student groups, would con- tinue to support him. They number an estimated 1,000, but any violent demonstration started by the FEP probably would be joined quickly by other Panamanians. Nor is it certain, the observers say, that Torrijos-could keep the lid on without ordering his Guardia Na- cional to crack down - something he probably would not wish to do. Torrijos has been quotedas saying that if the students attacked U.S. facilities, he would either have to stop them or lead them, and in no event would he try to stop them. THAT KIND of bombast has led to charges by anti-treaty spokesmen that the Carter administration is suc- cumbing to blackmail by the Pana- manian leader. "Some of the things Torrijos says sound like threats," agrees an American resident of Panama, "but he has to live with the situation here.' To accommodate the North Ameri- cans, Torrijos has agreed to other moves. In response to demands by a group of visiting senators that he im- plement some human rights reforms, Torrijos abolished two martial law decrees that were nearly a decade old. He also promised to ease press censorship. And most recently he convinced Senate Minority Leader Howard Baker that while extensive revision of the treaty is not acceptable to Panama, he would be "flexible"' on some changes that could help it through the Senate. Former President Richard Nixon 'made his first trip back to Washington since his resig- nation more than three years ago yesterday to attend serv- ices for the late Hubert Hum- phrey. Nixon has been a recluse at his beachside estate at San Clemente since he left the capital on August 10, 1974. He boarded a commercial jet at Los Angeles International Air- port for a flight to Washington to pay tribute to the man he defeated in 1968 for the nation's highest post. Nixon said that Humphrey was a decent and honorable man who command- ed "the genuine respect and affection of his political oppon- ents and allies alike." Nixon plans to return to California tomorrow. Locals debate Carter 's" " first year (Continued from Page 1). Another strongly for Carter last year.
