In elevating Jordan to chief of staff, Carter gave overall responsibility for White House operations to one deputy for the first time in the president's 30 months in office. The move was the first since the an- nouncement Tuesday that Carter's en- tire Cabinet and his top staff aides had submitted their resignations as Carter continued an attempt to bolster his troubled presidency. CARTER MET during the day with a number of aides and with at least one member of the Cabinet. There was no indication that Carter had spoken to any of the three Cabinet members whose resignations the president is considered most likely to accept-Energy Secretary James Schlesinger, HEW Secretary Joseph Califano and Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal. But a top Schlesinger aide, who asked not to be identified told AP Radio "it is inevitable that President Carter is going to accept Secretary Schlesinger's resignation and we heard earlier that it would be before the day is out." SCHLESINGER told reporters at the Capitol that he had no idea whether Carter would accept his resignation. "I think the president will make some judgments over the course of the weekendhabout whom he is going to retain," he said. White House press secretary Jody Powell denied knowledge of any of the resignation offers being accepted, stating: "Whatever decisions the president has made or will make See JORDAN, Page 10 Daily Photo by JIM KRUZ UNIVERSITY POLITICAL Science Prof. George Grassmuck speculates on how the offers of resignation from President Carter's stafft will affect Carter and the country. The presidential expert estimated it probably will not help Carter's chances for re-election. U prof analyzes Carter stafs moves By PATRICIA HAGEN The mass resignation of President Carter's cabinet and senior staff may be an attempt to purge the political liabilities some of those officials have become instead of a no-confidence move, according to a local political expert. University Political Science Prof. George Grassmuck framed his speculations about that action in baseball terms. "HE STARTED TO hit the long ball and he better not bunt," Grassmuck said, or he will end up like the American League team in Tuesday night's closely contested All Star game-"with the score seven to six against him." Grassmuck, who was an advisor and speechwriter in the Nixon administration, referred to the policy initiatives Car- ter expressed in Sunday night's energy speech in which he assailed government inefficiency. "It's very early to say what happened and why," Grassmuck cautioned. While waiting further news from Washington, the professor speculated on the possible effects of the mass offer of resignations by 33 Carter administration officials. "REVERBERATIONS WILL go on for quite a while, depending on what changes are made," he concluded. Carter "has taken a course of action and ... must continue that course of action," Grassmuck said, because any in- dications that he is backing down will be viewed as signs of weakness. While the president can ask any of his appointed staff to resign at any time, the fact that Carter required his staff to stay for four years at the outset of his term complicates the situation, . Grassmuck said. "Again, it raises questions of confidence in Carter." He went on to explain,."The problem is, now it appears to have been a major event, a crisis." The sudden mass resignation, "in terms of strategy, may have 'precipitated action that could have been left for months," he added. The action by the White House staff, Grassmuck speculated, forces Carter "to rush to make up his programs See 'U', Page 10 .
