a Page 2-Thursday, March 13, 1980-The Michigan Daily' NEWSPAPER POLL SAYS CARTER IS FAVORED BY 62% Carter victory expected in III. CHICAGO (AP) - The arena of presidential competition shifted yesterday to Illinois, where President Carter is bidding for a knockout victory over Sen. Edward Kennedy, and Rep. John Anderson wants home state voters to make him the Republican alternative to Ronald Reagan. White House press secretary Jody Powell, buoyed by Carter's three-state shutout of Kennedy in the South, described the.Massachusetts Democrat as having failed to capture the imagination of the nation. A PUBLIC opinion poll published yesterday by the Chicago Tribune said Carter, who trounced Kennedy in the Florida, Alabama and Georgia primaries, was running well ahead in Illinois. The Tribune said Carter was favored by 62 per cent and Kennedy by 23 per cent. Kennedy has Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne on his side, but that has proven a mixed blessing with the city ad- ministration 'beset by labor, financial, and political problems. The Kennedy name counts in Chicago, and the senator points to the political ties his i family has had there. ON THE Republican side, a statewide poll taken jointly by the Chicago Sun- Times and WMAQ-TV rated Anderson as the preferred GOP candidate in his home state - as did a Tribune poll. The veteran congressman is trying to stake out a claim as the lone GOP alternative to Reagan, the former California governor. Both Democrat Kennedy and Republican Bush say they would go on even if they lost in Illinois. FOR HIS part, Reagan was eagerly awaiting the primary combat in Illinois next Tuesday after his landslide vic- tories in the three Southern states. His Southern triumphs catapulted him into undeniable status as the Republican front-runner. Reagan ran his delegate count to 167, with 998 needed for nomination by the GOP National Convention in Detroit this July. By comparison, former U.N. Ambassador George Bush had 45 delegates and Anderson 13. Reagan beat Bush by 73 per cent to 13 per cent in Georgia, 69 per cent to 26 per cent in Alabama, and 57 per cent to 30 per cent in Florida. Anderson finished third in Florida and Georgia. He-wasn't on the ballot in Alabama. BUSH HAS said repeatedly that Illinois was a pivotal test. He can har- dly claim to be in a two-man race with Reagan if Anderson beats him in Illinois. California Gov. Edmund Brown Jr. is waiting for the April 1 Wisconsin presidential rprimary to gear up his, campaign, obviously figuring that Ken- nedy will be undone by then and he can have a man-to-man contest with Carter. The president picked up 181 Democratic convention delegates in the South and was assured of 35 more delegates from Oklahoma's precinct caucuses and 15 from caucuses in Hawaii. Carter was also reported ahead in the Delaware caucuses but the final results are not yet in., NATIONALLY, Carter had 283 con- vention delegates to Kennedy's 145. The target for the Democratic nomination is 1,666 delegate votes. While the primary returns from the south documented Kennedy's staggering losses to Carter, the senator's top campaign lieutenants repeated Kennedy's contention that the true test of his candidacy will come in the industrial heartland of Illinois Tuesday and in New York a week later. Powell insisted that no Democrat can become his party's standard-bearer without the support of the South. "History shows us that no Democrat can win the presidency if he writes off a whole section of the country," Powell said. Carter himself told supporters in Birmingham, Ala., by telephone Tuesday night that "it's not feasible to be elected unless you're a national can- didate.' Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Experts urge strong U.S. measures to counter Soviets LONDON - The outlook for the West is bleak unless the Soviet Union's expanding power in the Persian Gulf is rebuffed by a bigger U.S. and NATO commitment there, according to an analysis released yesterday by the International Institute for Strategic Studies. The report said the West cannot hope to control events in the region but can only aim for a "balance of influence" with the Soviets. "If the West is entangled in this volatile region, the U.S.S.R. will . . . find it far from easy to gain positions of advantage," wrote Sharham Chubin, an Iranian citizen and Mideast expert in the analysis. "Western states will need to be more rather than less involved," he concluded. Administration to keep quiet about United Nations vote WASHINGTON - The Carter Administration refused yesterday to give Congress internal details of the United States' controversial switch on a United Nations resolution condemning Israeli settlements in occupied Arab territories. Assistant Secretary of State Brian Atwood said a public inquiry into the March 1 vote in the UN 'Security Council could hurt Mideast peace negotiations. "We feel strongly that this unfortunate episode should not be allowed to undermine these negotiations," he told a House Foreign Affairs Committee. Meanwhile, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the president's national security advisor, said new procedures are being adopted to prevent mistaken U.S. votes in the United Nations.

The former president made his attack on Carter in a television interview during a busy Washington visit that also included a meeting with his closest political advisers and a speech before a GOP congressional fund-raising dinner. Ford said he has the best chance of beating Carter next fall, but the nation's economy and foreign policy are in such a shambles that he would support any Republican nominee, even Ronald Reagan. "The most important ingredient is to defeat President Carter, to change the policies that have brought this country to the precipice of danger both here and abroad," Ford said. "If we run and don't win, we'll have four more years of the same kind of disaster we've had the last 31/2 years, he said. Ford cited an ABC-Lou Harris poll which said Ford would beat Carter if the general election were held today, while Reagani would lose. "I haven't got any insatiable appetite to get into the White House and wield power," Ford said. "My only personal ambition is to contribute if I can to straightening out some of the messes, the problems, the dangers that this country has at the present time. "I feel so deeply about the need to change the White House at the present time that I would support the Republican nominee, including Gov. Reagan," he said. Ford said recently that Reagan is too conservative to win election as president, even if he is nominated. 4 Ford ..

Housemay reject use of windfall tax BEIRUT - Former President Camille Chamoun, 80-year-old leader of Lebanon's Christian coalition, escaped death in a booby-trapped car explosion yesterday. The blast, the second attempt in 12 years to assassinate Chamoun, killed a bodyguard. "My face, ears, and eyes have been cleared from glass shrapnel and I'm back in the arena to fight crime and criminals," said the silver-haired millionaire after being treated 30 minutes at a hospital. A critic of the Syrian peace-keeping presence in post-civil war Lebanon, Chamoun told a news conference later that he thought the attempt on his life was aimed at undermining the current efforts to achieve national reconciliation. Grant for Volkswagen plant nears approval in Senate LANSING - The state Senate neared final approval on the release of $650,000 in state funds aimed at luring a new Volkswagen of America plant to suburban Detroit. A final vote on the appropriation from the state's general fund could come by week's end. The state would gain between 3,000 and 5,000 new jobs and $20 million in tax revenues if the company locates in Michigan. The German-based automaker is expected to spend between $400 and $500 million to convert the Sterling Heights factory, which has previously been used as a federal missile plant. "I think any delay of this bill would be interpreted. . . as whether we want Volkswagen of America," said Sen. Kerry Kammer (D-Pontiac). State troopers, Milliken split LANSING - The state troopers' union accused the Milliken administration yesterday of breaking off contract talks and hinted at embarrassing protests during the Republican National Convention, to be held this summer in Detroit, if progress is not made. Leaders of the Michigan State Police Troopers Association demanded to meet with Gov. Milliken on the matter, but talked with state police officials instead. After the session, union spokesmen said they would continue to press their demands. Troopers were granted collective bargaining rights in 1978 after vo ers approved a constitutional amendment but implementation was stalled for months because of disputes between the union and Milliken's office. Accused Vietnam traitor denied access to gov't records CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - Attorneys for accused traitor Robert Garwood lost a bid yesterday to gain access to government documents which they said would prove Garwood was only one of many U.S. servicemen who cooperated with the enemy in Vietnam. They are hoping to make the conduct of all Vietnam-era prisoners a central issue in Garwood's court-martial on, charges of desertion and collaboration with the enemy during the 13 years he spent behind enemy lines. Garwood, who returned to the U.S. last March after surfacing in Hanoi, has complained of frequent headaches, nightmares, and emotional problems since his return. His attorneys claimed he has been unable to receive psychiatric treatment from military doctors because regulations permit testimony from the doctors to be used against him in the court-martial. U0E 0, 1 for energ WASHINGTON (AP) - The House decided yesterday that most of the money from President Carter's proposed "windfall" tax on the oil in- dustry should be earmarked for cutting income taxes - not for energy programs. By a non-binding vote of 215-201, the House rejected an attempt to set aside for energy production and conservation '~ half the $227.7 billion that the new oil tax is expected to bring in over the p'********************** Daily Official Bulletin THURsDAYMARCH 13,1980 Daily Calendar: Museum of Anthropology: Kathy Schreiber, "Jicamocco, A Middle Horizon Administrative Cen- ter in Highland, Peru," 2009 Museums, noon.

That vote left in the bill the suggested allocation of 60 per cent of the money for income-tax reductions.. DESPITE THE earmarking, any tax cut would have to be aporoved in separate legislation later. The non- binding resolution simply would have allowed the House to say it favors spen- ding at least half the energy tax for energy. House leaders plan to take final ac- tion on the bill today. The compromise bill produced by a Senate-House conference committee over a period of two months earmarked 60 per cent of the money - $136.4 billion - for income-tax reductions, 25 per cent for helping poor families pay the rising cost of energy, and only 15 per cent to finance energy programs and to improve the transportation system. "It seems strange that we go through all this turmoil - agony even - to produce an energy bill and then give more importance to tax relief than to energy," Rep. Joseph Fisher, (D-Va.), sponsor of the resolution, told colleagues. The defeated resolution would have allowed no earmarking for tax reduc- tions, meaning that 50 per cent would go for energy program,s 25 per cent wold be set aside to help the poor and the other 25 per cent available to be spent as Congress decided.
