FBI candidate resigns WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. District Judge Frank Johnson bowed out as the president's nominee for FBI director yesterday, and Attorney General Grif- fin Bell said the search for a replace- ment will last into the new year. Still in poor health after surgery last August, Johnson said, "it will be sev- eral more months before I will regain my strength and stamina. It will not be fair to the Federal Bureau of Investi- gation or to me to keep this matter pen- ding any longer." IN A STATEMENT issued at his of- fice in Montgomery, Ala., Johnson said he regrets that "conditions over which I have no control" have forced him to step aside. At the White House, Press Secretary Jody Powell called the withdrawal "a loss td the administration, to the FBI and to the country - and we regret it very much." Bell announced Johnson's decision at a news conference and called it "un- fortunate for the president, the FBI and the nation. Judge Johnson would have made an ideal leader for the FBI." THE ATTORNEY General said he and President Carter won't rush into a decision about a new nominee to suc- ceed Clarence Kelley and become the third director in the FBI's 53-year his- tory. "My plan is to do nothing for two weeks to let the dust settle and rethink the selection process," Bell said. "Hopefully during that time, names will occur to me. I think it would be a wise course not to rush." Bell indicated that he would like Kelley to remain in office for at least a' short time beyond his scheduled retire- ment date Jan. 1. Kelley has said he could stay until the end of January but he has made other professional com- mitments after that time. JOHNSON'S DECISION leaves the administration with the task of filling two top Justice Department jobs. Depu- ty Attorney General Peter Flaherty has announced he will leave soon to make plans for a possible gubernatorial cam- paign in his native Pennsylvania. Bell said he has someone in mind for that job but he's not ready to announce a decision.; In Montgomery, Ala., Johnson said in a prepared statement that his recovery from recent major surgery "is very slow," although, he said, the operation appears to be "very successful, and I am recovering." THE U.S. district judge said never-. theless "it is evident" that it will take several more months "to regain my strength and stamina." In view of that, he said "it will not be fair to the Federal Bureau of Investigation or me to keep this matter pending any longer.' The attorney general said he was willing to wait for Johnson to take over the FBI after a full recuperation although that might have meant a delay until late spring or early summer. "I would wait," he said. "But Judge Johnson has made his own decision that it would not be fair to the FBI or to him- self." BELL SAID he hopes a new candi- date can be chosen and nominated by Jan. 17 when Congress returns from a recess, but he cannot promise to meet that target. He dropped few clues about who might be in the running for the nomination, except to say, "We still have the list" of four men recommend- ed by a presidentially appointed search committee last June. They are John Van de Kamp, district attorney of Los Angeles County; Neil Welch, a career FBI man and head of the bureau's Philadelphia field office; Judge John Irwin of the Massachusetts Superior Court, and Sheriff William Lucas of Detroit. LUCAS' CHANCES were damaged by disclosures that he had participated in gambling junkets to Las Vegas. The president and Bell also seriously considered John Mintz, an assistant FBI director and legal counsel who was strongly supported by some members of the search committee but failed to make the final list. Carter announced the nomination in August and it was greeted with enthu- siastic support from a broad range of interest groups. Johnson also would have suffered financially from taking the FBI job, and Bell said he believes "that had to be a factor" in the decision even though Johnson never mentioned it to him. Bell said he will seek legislation to change the system so judges would not be penalized for taking other govern- ment jobs.

Other officers were not elected last night due to a Central Student Judiciary (CSJ) ruling Monday night postponing regular officer elections for ten business days. JASPER DIGIUSEPPE was elect- ed Executive Vice President, Dave Laverty Vice President for Student Organizations, and Doug Kaplan Academic Programs Coordinator. The three will hold their posts until permanent elections are held. The Assembly is composed of at-large representatives and repre- sentatives appointed by the student governments of the various schools and colleges in the University. CSJ is now debating whether the school and college representatives are legal under provisions of the. Assembly s Constitution. CSJ issued the order postponing the elections until it is determined if the school and college representa- tives would be allowed to retain their seats, and therefore be permitted to vote for MSA officers. MEMBERS ALSO debated the procedure for selecting MSA officials to be tour guides for the official Rose Bowl tour in January. MSA, along with the University Activities Center (UAC), selects a number of outstanding members of their organizations to serve as tour guides. The students receive free passage to the Rose Bowl from the travel agency conducting the tour. "The one thing I fear is that it would turn into a political plum,"~ Digiuseppe told the Assembly, refer- ring to the coveted position. "There are probably about a hundred people who should go," said MSA president Jon Lauer. He said the selection process would be diffi- cult, but added the appointments would go to the most industrious workers in the organization.

Though acknowledging that wood is just one potential energy source, Milliken claimed full utilization of the state's wood resources could save $8.4 billion and 600 million bar- rels of oil over the next 30 years.
