Party disagreements
spark Rocky action
WASHINGTON (UPI) Nelson A.
Rockefeller said yesterday party,
squabbles triggered his decision not to
run for the. vice presidency next year,
but he refused to rule out a 1976 bid for
the presidency.
In his first news conference since his
surprise announcement Monday that he
would not be a vice presidential can
didate next year, Rockefeller said he
supports Ford and expects him to tit
nominated for a full term.
Saying that ''party squabbles" made
him decide not to be Ford's 1976 running
mate, the vice president repeatedly
brushed aside questions about his
political future saying: "I have no plans
beyond this press conference."
Asked if he still had presidential
ambitions, Rockefeller said: "Listen, I
wouldn't have accepted the vice
presidency if I wasn't willing to accept
the presidency, if, God forbid, something
happened to the President."
Declining to rule out the possibility he
would seek the No. 1 position on the GOP
national ticket, Rockefeller refused to
say what he. would do if Ford lost the
early primaries, or dropped out of the
presidential race.
Rockefeller said he withdrew from the
vice presidential picture to keep "party
squabbling" from complicating Ford's
job as President and not because they
disagreed on government policy.
Rockefeller said the squabbling was
caused by a "minority of a minority"

University seeks ideas, location for TAP
By LESLEY IMLER
Collegian Staff Writer
To live and to learn is expected. Living
arid learning is TAP.
A Thematic Academic Program
TAP ) is exactly what its title says: an
academic program centered around a
1116 me.
Uniquely, this theme as proposed for
Penn State is to be taught in a residential
setting. Interested students would live
side by side with their instructors, take
interrelated courses in the residential
area and Participate in a "living and
learning" experience.
Can TAP become a reality? This term,
Eugene Melander, assistant to the vice
president for undergraduate studies,
and his graduate assistant, Stephen
Ward, are encouraging fac t ulty members
to
i t
velop ideas for TAP themes. -
concrete proposals are -- before
I h , but Melander and Ward are op
ti stic. Both agree that TAP would be
less desirable if it were totally designed
by administrators. They describe their
positions as coordinators ,of faculty
input.
Ward is available for aid in drafting
Republican conservatives who have long
opposed him as a symbol of eastern
Republican moderates.
He said he was not greatly concerned
about conservative criticism until it was
echoed by Ford's campaign manager,
Howard "Bo" Callaway, who said last
summer Rockefeller was the biggest
problem on the 1976 ticket.
While_ putting the blame on Callaway,
Rockefeller said Ford had been "very
supportive" and had in no way forced
him off the ticket. He praised the
President, saying Ford had given him
"more responsibilities and assign
ments" than any vice president in
history.
Rockefeller said he told Ford of his
decision when they met a week ago
Tuesday in the Oval Office. At the same
time, Rockefeller said he learned of
Ford's plans to reshuffle his cabinet.
The fact that both events were made
public on Monday was "total hap
penstance" Rockefeller said.
Rockefeller said there were no cir
'cumstances under which he would
reconsider his decision even if Ford
prevailed upon him at the convention
after winning the presidential
nomination.
"If you think I wrote this letter with
drawing from the race to be coy or
tricky, then you're wrong," he said.
Rockefeller said he wasn't afraid of
battling with conservatives in his party,
saying "If I want to fight, I'm a pretty
good fighter."
But he said he concluded that the party
infighting was taking up too much of the
President's time and made it difficult for
him "at a time when the problems of the
country require his closest attention."
"So I presented my analysis to the
President, told him my decision, and he
accepted it," Rockefeller said.
When asked if he thought Ford should
be concerned about a challenge from
former Gov. Ronald Reagan,
Rockefeller said: "I personally don't."
themes. He also helps faculty members
with a certain theme in mind to find
other instructors who might possibly
teach courses interrelated to a theme.
Intertited faculty members may
present a basic theme to a combined
reviewing committee representing the
offices of Undergraduate Studies,
Student Affairs and Business before the
close of the term.
Also to be included in the presentation
are a list of courses to be taught on the
theme; the names of faculty members
planning to become involved; a
description of how a particular program
would be evaluated; and a statement of
reasons why a theme would work best in
a residential setting.
If any themes are proposed to the
committee, three of them must be ap
proved for TAP to begin in nextgFall

Moroccans entering Sahara
WITH MOROCCANS IN SPANISH
SAHARA (UPI) A human sea of
unarmed Moroccan civilians surged into
the Spanish Sahara yesterday despite
warnings they would be shot.
Informed sources said Morocco told
Spain that it was impossible to call off
the march King Hassan II began into the
phosphate-rich desert area unless the
Spanish agreed to negotiations with
Morocco.
If there were no negotiations, ac
cording to the note as reported by in
formed sources, a elfish between the
Koran-armed volunteers and Spanish
forces drawn up less than a mile away
from their overnight bivouac was
inevitable.
In that event, according to the note as
reported by the sources, Moroccan
forces would be compelled to intervene
against the Spanish army.
The 350,000 Moroccan marchers ac
tually stopped and camped overnight
short of Spanish defense lines and
minefields.
The halt appeared to be part of a
reported compromise in which the
Moroccan civilians would be allowed to
carry out a symbolic "peace march"
into the disputed territory without trying
to breach the defensive lines set up by
Spanish troops under orders to fire on
"any invader, armed or unarmed."
No firing was reported, although four
Spanish jet fighters and a number of
observation planes and helicopters flew
overhead.

A government official said 40,000 of the
marchers would camp overnight, in
dicating the rest would pull back behind
the frontier into Morocco. He did not
indicate whether the march would be
resumed today.
Bankruptcy bill gets first , okay
WASHINGTON (UPI) A House
judiciary subcommittee yesterday
approved a bill to enable New York City
to enter into bankruptcy and negotiate
new terms with debtors and unions in an
effort to regain solvency.
The bill less restrictive to the city
than a measure proposed last week by
President Ford was pushed forward
after it became apparent that
Democratic-sponsored legislation to
save New York from defaulting on its
debts was in trouble and unpassable.
The bankruptcy bill, unlike Ford's
proposal, would permit the city to retain
"governmental and political powers"
instead of giving a federal judge
authority to decide where to close
hospitals, what to pay pensioners or
whether keeping libraries and schools
Panel approves plan to
WASHINGTON (UPI) Congressional conferees on
energy approved a compromise oil pricing plan late
yesterday that would force gasoline prices down about
four cents a gallon and let them rise gradually after
that.
John Hill, a deputy administrator of the Federal
Energy Administration, was in a nearby room at the
Capitol and said the plan appears to fall short of what
President Ford would accept.
"I don't give a damn whether the President would
sign or veto this," Rep. John Moss, D-Calif., had told
conferees.
With approval of the pricing plan, conferees com
pleted the last big issue in their comprehensive energy
bill and scheduled a Monday meeting to try to wind it
up.
The bill would authorize gasoline rationing if it
became necessary, force some conservation steps, set
auto gas mileage standards and control oil prices for
four more years but with some flexibility for the
President to adjust them with increases in inflation.
ducive to a small class situation, and the
structure of facing dorm rooms forces
student interaction. This type of
arrangement would best suit TAP.
Not so, says Dane Rutledge, a West
Halls representative to the Association
of Residence Hall Students and an Irvin
resident. The building's present
program was served notice in April of
1974 that its program would cease or be
relocated.
According to Rutledge, the original
TAP study indicated a need for physical
capabilities beyond Irvin's present
structure. Renovation would be neces
sary.
Uperaft said "some" physical
renovation would be required, but his
office is "prepared to provide facilities if

Spain alleges Moroccan threat
UNITED NATIONS (UPI) Spain told the United Nations
last night that Morocco had threatened armed intervention in
case of a clash between Moroccan marchers and Spanish
troops in the disputed Spanish Sahara.
The Spanish delegation asked for an urgent meeting of the
U.N. Security Council to put before it what was described as a
virtual ultimatum communicated to Madrid authorities by the
Moroccan minister of information.
In that event, according to the note as reported by the
sources, Moroccan forces would be compelled to intervene
against the Spanish army.
"If such confrontations take place," a Spanish letter to the
Security Council quoted the Moroccan ultimatum, "it would
be very difficult to avoid intervention by the Royal Armed
Forces, in which case a situation of belligerency would exist

open were "essential services."
But some Democrats, while voting for
he bankruptcy legislation, said the city,
even in bankruptcy, would require
federally guaranteed loans to provide
police, fire, health and sanitation ser
vices.
Gov. Hugh Carey, lobbying all day for
a loan guarantee, said the city would
need $1.6 billion just in the first nine
months after default.
Already facing antipathy in the House,
a filibuster in the Senate and a veto in
the White House, the Democratic bills to
avoid bankruptcy and provide federally
guaranteed loans to the city ran into new
trouble. The AFL-CIO said it might
lobby against the measures.

Conferees estimated the effect of their plan would be
to force such oil products as gasoline and heating oil
down by four cents a gallon at the start. Then a year
later, they would start up gradually, by around 1.5 cents
the first year.
Two years from enactment of the bill, they would
have regained their 1975 level and by 1980, prices would
be up by 7.5 to 8.75 cents a gallon.
Gasoline prices average 60 cents now and thus would
be 56 cents at the start and would become around 68 or
69 cents in four years.
The latest Administration proposal would have let
them rise to around 74 cents by 1980, by freeing oil more
quickly from controls.
The congressional pricing plan would set an initial
average price for domestic oil at $7.55 a barrel. The
current average is around $8.75, conferees said. The
average could rise by a total of 10 per cent a year up
to seven per cent to cover inflation plus an additional 3
per cent to encourage new production. Within the
average, the President would have flexibility to em-
and house duties are divided among all
residents. They present programs for
their residents and any other interested
Penn State students.
Last year more than 300 students
attended an international night held by
Irvin residents. Slides, speakers and
debates also have been presented.
These programs are planned and
carried out entirely by Irvin residents.
Rutledge said he feels Irvin's program
would be "harmed seriously" if forced to
relocate; the residents also see the dorm
structure as optimal. Stating that for the
past seven years of its existence, the
present Irvin program has found the
facilities suitable for their type of
project, Rutledge suggests TAP could
succeed quite well someplace else.
In 1974 TAP was attem for the
e il
Summer Term. The plan il red. Only
half of the students requir to make a
go of it signed up.
The lack of interest was attributed to
poorly understood theme Involuntary

that it was being held during Summer
Term. "Those who might have come
The marchers an enthusiastic,
chanting throng of men, women and
children armed with nothing but the
Koran, the Moslem holy book—swept at
mid-morning across the dusty frontier,
pausing as they crossed to pray to Allah.

bend of dirt road marked on desert maps
as "The Road Hook," leading to the
Spanish Sahara capital of El Aiun.
The motley crowd peasants in
ragged robes, unemployed workers in

Declaring that it was now impossible to discontinue the
peace march before it reaches the Spanish defense line today,
the Moroccans according to the Spanish letter `totally
ruled out intervention by the United Nations and all the
possible plans and proposals discussed thus far in connection
with the visits of the secretary general".
Security Council members, after a long afternoon of private
negotiations, were reported in agreement on a resolution
"deploring" the Moroccan march, calling on Morocco to with
draw the cavalcade that advanced into the Spanish-held
territory earlier yesterday, and urging all powers to
cooperate in carrying out the resolution.
Diplomatic sources said Soviet Ambassador Yakov A.
Malik, who was instructed earlier yesterday to prepare a
resolution as president of the Council for November, produced
a measure calling for "condemnation" of the Moroccan
march.
Observers found this in line with the Soviet Union's support
of Algeria, which lays claim to the territory. But diplomatic
sources said the NATO and African powers leaning toward
Morocco, found "condemnation" too strong and succeeded in
watering the Council's censure of Hassan's action down to
"deploring".

Chairman Arthur F. Burns, which would
oversee New York's fiscal behavior and
could compel the city to renegotiate
labor and pension agreements.
"We don't think New York ought to be
made a vassal of Simon," said Al Zack,
spokesman for the AFL-CIO. He said the
bills raise "the horrible possibility New
York City would be run by Simon and
Burns" and that they could retroactively
reduce pensions and abroggate con

Timewise, it was too late to try again

soon. Finally, there is an effort to aim
for Fall Term 1976.

term "living and learning" with their
instructors at Wallops Island, Va. Of

The first contingents left their tent city
near Tarfaya, Morocco, 25 miles north of
the frontier, at dawn. They clambered
out of their trucks just short of the
border and waited for the rest of the
crowd to gather.
Once the marchers were in place, they
said a brief prayer and then surged
across the frontier shouting patriotic
slogans and waving banners.

Rep. Don Edwards, D-Calif., whose

York's bankruptcy, said he expected the
bill to clear the full Judiciary Committee
and the House next week.

Under current controls, the price of so-called old oil
(oil from wells already in production in 1972) is set at
55.25 a barrel while new oil subsequently recovered is
free of controls.
In the new approach, the President could let old oil
rise and keep new oil where it is,- or vice versa. After 40
months, the program would become standby authority
the President could free controls altogether.
The conferees' plan assumed the President will

Supreme Court for final determination.
Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, tried unsuccessfully to
have Alaskan and other high-cost oil exempted from the
average price calculations, so that much higher prices
would be guaranteed for that oil. When conferees turned
him down, Steven shook his finger and said, "We have
