Saxbe next atty.
WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. William
B Saxbe, R-Ohio, came out of an hour
and a half meeting with President Nixon
yesterday feeling "relatively sure" he
will be nominated as the next attorney
general.
"I don't want to be presumptive and
say I've got it in the bag," the 57-year
old senator told reporters on the
driveway just outside the White House.
He said he expected a final decision in a
week or so.
The White House 7 , withheld an
announcement on whether Saxbe would
be Nixon's nominee to succeed Elliot L.
Richardson.
"The offer was implied when I walked
in there," Saxbe said. "We had an
understanding I was there to talk about
being attorney general."
Saxbe, a first-term senator who
recently announced he would not seek
another term in 1974, was formerly state
attorney general in Ohio ; In the Senate,

The University is trying to force the
Young Socialists to leave campus
through a crackdown on soliciting in
residence halls, a YS spokesman said
yesterday.
"This action is a prelude to banning
YS from campus," YS spokesman Jim
Cory said. With a planned tuition hike for
Spring Term and the Teamsters' Union
planning to re-open 'negotiations, the
University does not want any opposition,
he added.
"Right wing forces in East Halls
petitioned to throw us out. They lied.
They said we threatened them. They
tried everything to get us out," Cory
said.
YS had a table in Findlay for two years
which never had any opposition before
now, Cory noted.
But at the beginning of Fall Term,
when YS tried to get -the form from the
East Halls housing supervisor to permit
a table in Findlay every Monday night,
the group was told it could have the table
only on a weekly basis, Cory said.

More than 72 per cent of students
receiving bachelor's degrees -from
Pennsylvania colleges and universities
are employed in the state.
This indicates Pennsylvania is
benefitting from its higher education
investments, according, to William
Toombs, research associate and
assistant director of the Center for the
Study of Higher Education.
A study, conducted by Toombs and the
research bureau in the state Department
of Education, entitled "The Comm-Bacc
Study: Post Baccalaureate Activities for
Degree Recipients from Penniylvania
Institutions 1971-72," focused primarily
on employment and nonemployment
conditions existing last summer and Fall
1972, Toombs said. Data was collected
by the placement offices in the various
schools. Toombs explained that this data

he at times has criticized Nixon although
his voting record generally has
supported the President.
Saxbe said he and Nixon candidly
talked about their differences during
their lengthy discussion. He said he told
Nixon that "you'd have to take me warts
and all."
He added that his occasional
opposition to the President will not
reduce his ability to work and cooperate
with Nixon.
At the same time, Saxbe said he
wanted to satisfy himself about
questions he had about Watergate. "I'm
satisfied that the President has acted
honorably in the situations that have
risen since Watergate. This is the thing I
wanted to know," he said.
The senator said he and Nixon went
over a number of instances WM - re he had
questions, adding "I think I have a
residential life program director and

receive permission to sell anything in
residence halls, Association of
Residence Hall• Students President Jeff
Wall said.
The social form fcr the YS table was
sighed by Findlay coordinator Walter
Andersen, and David Brumbaugh, East
Halls resident assistants president, but
not bx the housing supervisor.
The housing "supervisors are "just
taking orders from Otto Mueller
(assistant vice president for housing and
food service operations) ; " Brumbaugh
said.
"The day they sign something they are
told not to is the day they lose their jobs.:
So I blame Mueller," Brumbaugh said.
In the past three weeks Mueller has
refused to sign any social forms for any
selling, Wall said.
Any student organizaiton with its own
publication can set up a table in the
residence halls to distribute the
publication. The only restriction is that
the organization "cannot import general
progaganda and literature and sell it like
a book store," Mueller said. The
organization cannot bring in political
literature to raise funds, he added.
consisted of the jobs students had and
the location and timing of their
employment.
The study was undertaken for various
reasons, Toombs said. The idea of
student labor supply and demand was
thought significant, he said. He added
the feeling that employment
opportunities for recipients have
decreased and that education was not
concentrated "enough toward future
careers gave support to the study.
The study showed few B.A. recipients
are moving into the national job market,
he said. "Employment is far more
localized than we have been thinking,
especially concerning a graduate's first
job." Toombs added.
Finding a job was not easy for 1972
graduates, he noted. "Entry into the
labor force was sluggish throughout
Pennsylvania for both specialized
professional majors and those holding
general degrees in nonprofessional

YS could have - had the 'table without

could not get permission for it unless

YS members.
Brumbaugh said organizaitons have
been permitted to hold raffles and sell
things to make a profit in East Halls in
the past with no trouble. "Mueller has
had a change of heart, Ifoi• whatever
reason I do not know: It has been really
intolerable in the last few weeks," he
said.
Wall said Mueller is interpreting the

But referring to the I supposed
oversupply of education and engineering
majors, Toombs said, "Trliere is no
evidence at this time of an oversupply of
educated persons in the fields of
engineering and education, two areas
popular with the gloomier , prophets."
According to Toombs, the study also
showed fewer students are employed
before graduation than in past years.
Unemployment is not high, Toombs
said. But jobs are found more slowly.
Toombs said the reasons for his are not
known.
Most students find jobs do • ely related

he said students in the College of the
Liberal Arts show wider i einployment

"Students have to be flexible in their

Some tapes missing
WASHINGTON (AP)—Two of the
White House tapes never existed,
President Nixon's lawyers said
yeSterday.
The White House said Nixon was
unaware of that situation until last
weekend.
Missing are recordings of what former
Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell told Nixon.in
their first reported ' conversation
following the Watergate break-in, and of
what passed between Nixon and John W.
Dean 111 in a meeting in which Dean
says Nixon admitted discussing
clemency as part of the Watergate
cover-up.
The Mitchell conversation of June 20,
1972 took place on a telephone without a
recording device attached, and the Dean
meeting of April 15; 1973 was not
recorded because of an extremely rare
malfunction of the automatic recording
gear in the presidential offices, Nixon's
lawyers told U.S. District Court Judge
John J. Sirica.
Deputy White House Press Secretary
Gerald L. Warren said in the months of
controversy over the Watergate tapes
Nixon never asked to listen personally to
the two nonexistent tapes.

YS will meet next Thrusday to plan a

"democratic rights," Cory said.
YS also will file suit against the
Pollock housing supervisor and Mueller
"and possibly Murphy and Oswald to
demand its rights to function politically

YS will post and distribute 2,500 "open

are finding broader employment fields
'open to them, he added. They are
moving away from teaching into
managerial posts, sales, technical work
and writing, Toombs said.
Toombs' study also showed a marked
change in women's employment.
"The very small numbers of
graduates, 3.6 per cent, not seeking
employment or going to graduate school
is one of the most striking pieces of data
because it means women graduates, who
normally comprise about 43 to 45 per
cent of the baccalaureate recipients, are
not retiring from either the labor force
or the learning force but are continuing
their public careers," Toombs said.
The study showed about 15 per cent of
students attended graduate school. This
figure is about five per cent below the
national average, Toombs noted.
Military service engages only 3.6 per
cent of the graduates and appears to be'
related to ROTC programs, he said.

Warren said extensive conversations
and discussions in Nixon's office on April
14 and 15—prior to the Dean meeting—
had been recorded. But, he said, "when
this conversation took place the first
recorder had run out, filled up, and the
alternate recorder was not activated
until the next day, the 16th."
Warren said the tapes had been stored
in the White House "under lock and
key."
In court, White House lawyer J. Fred
Buzhardt told Sirica of the missing tapes
in a private session Tuesday and Sirica
yesterday broached the matter in open
court.
It was the,first time the White House
had said any of the controversial tape
recordings do not exist.
The. two missing recordings are
among nine tapes which had been sought
by federal prosecutors and which Nixon
had agreed to turn over to Sirica in
accordance with an order from the
federal appeals court in Washington.
Sirica yesterday heard open-court
testimony from a Secret Service
technician who said the White House
records had been checked daily on
weekdays, and the April 15 malfunction
meet with Nixon
"we had some very good talks."
As photographers recorded the start of
the meeting, Nixon referred to a trip he
'made many years ago to Egypt and said,
"I'm going to go back."
"You're welcome," responded Fahmy.
Meir turned back nearly all questi tigns
at the airport, saying she would ho i ld a
news conference today after meetings
with Nixon and Kissinger.
She was effusive in her praise of the
American support of Israel during the
recent fighting and of President Nixon
personally. "I've come to Washington,
come to a friendly country, a friendly
government and a friendly President,"
the Prime Minister said.
She added her country never would
forget the backing it received during the
fighting and she indicated there are no
doubts about continued good relations
between the two nations.
But Meir said, "Naturally from time to
time there are problems and questions to
which we seek answers and
clarifications."
In spite of this statement she would not
tell reporters what those problems might
be. In fact, she joked that her statement
was only a repeat of words she gave
reporters when she left Tel Aviv for
Washington.
Military alert ended
WASHINGTON (AP) The Pentagon
yesterday ended its worldwide military
alert called last week as 350,000
servicemen returned to normal duties.
Nearly all the 2.2-million-member U.S.
military force, was placed on some
degree of increased combat readiness
early last Thursday because of fears the
Soviet Union was sending troops to
Egypt.
Nearly all the 2.2-million-member U.S.
military force was placed on some
degree of increased combat readiness
early last Thursday because of fears the
Soviet Union was sending troops to
Egypt.
Defense Department spokesman
Jerry W. Friedheim said troops of the
U.S. European Command and sailors of
the Atlantic Fleet returned to normal
status at midnight Tuesday.
Some 30,000 enlisted men and officers
of the U.S. 6th Fleet in the
Mediterranean Sea, however, remain on
a heightened alert status because of
continuing tensions in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, Friedheim said it appears
was the only recorder failure of which he
knew.
He said hidden microphones in
presidential offices had been extremely
sensitive, capable of picking up all but
whispered conversations.
The technician, Raymond D.
Zumwalt, - said he knew of no other
instance in which the automatic
machines failed to record. He said he
had not remembered the April 15
malfunction until Buzhardt reminded
him of it.
Federal prosecutors said Zumwalt
told them earlier yesterday he could not
recall any malfunctions at all.
Archibald Cox, whom Nixon fired as
special Watergate prosecutor after Cox
spurned an out-of-court settlement on
the tapes, yesterday,said that the White
House never told him any of the tapes
might not exist.
Cox had sought a total of nine
recordings and associated documents.
"My recollection is Buzhardt assured
me they were in a safe place and
properly guarded," Cox said at hearings
before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Cox said he heard of possible technical
problems in the April 15 tape only a day
or so t before he was fired.
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat,
meanwhile, insisted Israeli forces in
Egypt must pull back as a first step
toward Middle East peace. He told a
Cairo news conference there w;11 be no
exchange of war prisoners until the
Israeli return to the Oct. 22 cease-fire
line.
Sadat responded with an emphatic
"no" to the idea of direct peace
negotiations with Israel, but said once
disengagement starts, an international
peace conference on the Middle East
could begin under U.N. auspices.
Israel announced Egypt's surrounded
3rd Army on the eastern bank of the Suez
yesterday was resupplied again by a
truck convoy driven by U.N. forces. The
Israelis had disputed Sadat's contention
that Egyptian forces could easily defeat
Israeli units on the west bank of the Suez.
Sadat said his officers were pressing him
to let them wipe out the west bank Israeli
forces but that he was holding back to
give Nixon time - to prevail upon the
Israelis to withdraw.
The U.S. State Department denied
charges by Moshe Dyan, the Israeli
defense minister, that Washington
threatened a cutoff of military supplies if
Israel did not give up positions taken af
ter the initial U.N. cease-fire agreement
that 50,000 Soviet paratroopers in Russia
and eastern Europe also are resuming
their normal duties.
Reports that some of those troops were
about to board Soviet transports leaving
for Cairo were one of the prinicpal
reasons for the U.S. military alert and
the reported near confrontation with the
Soviet Union.
In the Mediterranean, Friedheim said,
there still are more than 90 Russian
ships, an all-time record.
The U.S. 6th Fleet has increased in
size, too, now standing at about 60
vessels, including three aircraft carriers
and two helicopter carriers with about
3,600 Marines aboard.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon said the
Soviet and American airlifts of supplies
and equipment to their respective allies
in the Middle East continued at about 20
flights daily.
The U.S. flights are expected to
continue for at least another week until
Israeli vessels, carrying U.S. supplies
from American ports begin arriving in
sufficient numbers in Israel.
