GOP from 'KANSAS CITY (UPI) President Ford won his first convention battle with Ronald Reagan yesterday when a Republican committee approved a new rule to prevent delegates loyal to Reagan but bound by law to Ford From switching their votes. The National Republican Rules Committee overwhelmingly approved the new rule which would bind more than 900 delegates in 19 states. Ford had given strong support to the change, while Reagan's supporters fought it. Six days before the opening of the 31st Republican National Convention opens, both candidates are shy of the 1,130 delegates needed for nomination. The latest United Press International count gave Ford 1,122, Reagan 1,036, with 101 uncommitted. / While Reagan, with 571 legally bound cC4egates, would seem to have more to lose by freeing delegates from their commitments than Ford with 367 bound to him, some of the President's support was thought more likely to switch if given the chance. _ Despite the defeat, which they had eApected, Reagan supporters said they , Lbuld press to kill the rule when it is 'Considered by the GOP National Com mittee today and the convention next , week. I A number of Reagan's conservative followers also were pushing for more of their ideals in the party's platform. The Croup, led by Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., issued a list of 22 planks for which they would fight,at the convention. And Helms was reported involved in another conservative move the possibility of a third piesidential can didate, Sen. James Buckley of New York. Muckley campaign manager Leonard Saffir said in New York that his man has been approached both by Reagan and Ford backers about getting into the presidential race. He indentified only Helms as being among those who have made overtures .to Buckley.

Saffir said those who have discussed the possibility of launching a Buckley campaign "have asked him not to close the door when they talk to him of their intentions, although he is not making any effort to solicit any support for any presidential bid." Noting that . Ford and Reagan are extremely close in delegate strength, Saffir said, "You can deadlock the convention with 100 votes and anything can happen on the second ballot." Helms, an early and dedicated Reagan supporter, was crushed by the former California governor's choice of liberal Sen. Richard Schweiker as his potential running mate. But he continued to stress his support. • \ But as the leader of the conservatives, he launched an attempt to rewrite the platform which Ford and Reagan forces were trying, to put together without triggering a party-splitting fight. Fearful that Ford and Reagan are avoiding hard positions in the platform, the party's most ardent conservatives said they would challenge the presidential candidates on 22 major issues. "They came here to do a job and not be a rubber stamp." • "This is a revolt on the part of the delegates which transcends whether they are for Ford or Reagan," a source in the conservative camp said. Helms, leader of the party's most conservative wing, discussed his efforts with Reagan but the source said he did not know whether the candidate offered any encouragement. "We have not sent , this to Reagan and had them approve it," the source said, adding thit the move to rewrite the platform was completely independent of Reagan's operation. The draft of the conservative platform was put together Monday night and will be presented to the platform committee today. The conservatives are ready to take some crucial issues to the con vention floor next week, including the President Ford for signature. The House had passed a bill simply extending the FEA for 15 months beyond its expiration date last June 30. The Senate changed some of the oil production pricing regulations and added energy conservation programs. They were modified somewhat in a month-long House-Senate conference. The bill removes price controls from "stripper wells," which produce less than 10 barrels a day but which collectively' produce 12 to 15 per cent of all domestic crude oil. To encourage increased efforts to get at marginal oil, the bill would 'allow price increases of up to 10 per cent for oil produced under "tertiary recovery" methods such as injecting fluids to force the oil from wells. The total price increase from stripper arid tertiary wells could not exceed $1.2 billion a year. , Collegian bill to lift on U.S. oil Panama Canal, Taiwan, busing and abortion. The decision by the conservatives to make their move despite apparent efforts by the Reagan and Ford forces to find common ground on language in the platform came as preliminary work continued in advance of the convention. At the formal meeting of the tem porary Platform Committee, Administration witnesses continued testimony with Treasury Secretary William Simon warning that the GOP "will require more than an attractive candidate." Simon, a possible Ford running mate, said ' Republicans faced possible ex tinction of Watergate, domestic failures and an erroneous image as a "barely disguised front for big corporations, bankers and the Chamber of• Com merce." The Treasury secretary said Republicans are outnumbered in registration 2-1 because the GOP "stands for very little indeed." He said the Republicans need a platform "that is a genuine contract with the people and a commitment to more than vague good intentions."

The action on the emotional and persistent abortion issue came as the House approved a $56.6 billion ap propriations bill for the departments of Labor and Health, Education and Welfare. The measure was sent to the Senate with the abortion ban intact. The Senate Richardson takes lenient line on payoffs ATLANTA (UPI) Commerce Secretary Elliot Richar dson yesterday decried_ the "ugly" practice of international corporations making payoffs abroad, but argued the Ford administration's proposal for dealing with the matter was better than Jimmy Carter's. Richardson, in a speech to the American Bar Association, said recent disclosures that major American corporations have violated ethical and legal standards in making such payments "has created an ugly and intolerable spectacle." But he said the way to cure the situation is through the administration's proposal for a disclosure act requiring that the public be told of such payments, and not by making such payments a criminal offense. Richardson said the administration proposal will lift a great burden of proof from the government, which_ in order to demonstrate an offense will need only to show that the payment included under the law was made and not reported. kills over 300 Mozambique black nationalists Rhodesian raid SALISBURY, • Rhodesia (UPI) Rhodesian troops invaded Mozambique in a surprise reprisal raid and killed more than 300 black nationalist guerrillas at a command post, a government statement said yesterday. The statement said 30 Mozambican Frelimo troops and about 10 civilians also died in the, lightning raid, the heaviest yet by Rhodesian forces across the border into Mozambique. The government statement said the Rhodesian forces suffered no casualties "apart from a few minor injuries" in the raid which included the destruction of a roadblock and a bridge. The statement said the Rhodesian raid on the black guerrilla command center and base camp was made "in ac cordance with the accepted in ternational practice of hot pursuit." It retaliated against "unprovoked aggression" into Rhodesia by black guerrillas based in Mozambique and supported by the Marxist government in Maputo. , II ' ~... • '• , • .. , ti .. it , k.o 4 , , I s " - ' " 4 "" 4 - " -- ,i. •.; 1 .

The 223-150 vote meant the House refused to back down from language it wrote into its version of the money bill on June 24, on votes of 199 to 165 and 207 to 167, which said "none of the funds ap propriated under this act shall be used to pay for abortions or to promote or en courage abortions." The compromise measure, which is $4 "In the absence of any restraining influence from the outside world, Rhodesia has had no option Nit to strike at centers of organized terrorism on her borders in the interests of her own self preservation," the statement said. The Rhodesian retaliation was the toughest reprisals taken by the security forces since the guerrilla war against black nationalist insurgents began in December 1972. "The camp was attacked on irrefutable evidence that the terrorists therein were involved in the planning and execution of operations against Rhodesia," the statement said. "Repeated warnings have been given in recent months by the Rhodesian government of the risk inherent in supporting terrorists," it said. "Officers returning from the operation have confirmed that evidence found at the headquarters and camp proves conclusively_ the extensive involvement of of terrorists and the presence of their senior commanders," the statement said. en cents per copy lednesday, August 11,1976 fol. 77, No. 27 6 pages University Park, Pennsylvania , üblished by Students of the Pennsylvania State University -, . ..-t- -* ••'• This debris deposited by Hurricane Belle near Steel Pier in Atlantic City, N.J., was being removed yester day by city workers.

The prosecution "will not need to show that it was made with a corrupt motive or intent," Richardson said. Based upon his experience as attorney general, Richardson said, "I doubt sincerely whether a criminal prohibition against payments could be enforced at all with regard to conduct most or all of which takes place overseas." He said government authorities would have to seek out evidence and key witnesses beyond the reach of domestic courts. Richardson later told a news conference he does not "hanker" for the vice presidency, but said he would bring "obvious" attributes to President Ford 's ticket possibly offsetting the Watergate tinge of Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon and adding some geographic balance. "The obvious things are geography, to the extent that the northeast is to be important, experience with the realistic effort to deal with the problems of excessive government, and a relation to Watergate that could be looked at as being a balancing factor," said Richardson.

Some of them will go back to the alleys, to the butchers. You won't stop abortions with this language. You'll just stop safe ones." Rep. Henry Hyde, R 411., author of the abortion ban first adopted in June by the House, said abortion "is an act of violence. To kill an unborn child is to deny the smallest, the most defenseless human being the basic right of all, the right to life." Rep. Parren Mitchell, D-Md., who recalled his days as an attorney working with Baltimore law enforcement agencies, asked in arguing against the ban: "Have you ever seen a coat hanger abortion? Have you ever seen an abortion performed with a rusty pen knife, what it does to the woman physically and psychologically? I have. You can't live with that on your con science. You can't live wih that." Faculty union hearings today The Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board will reconvene hearings on the question of a faculty bargaining unit for PSU today at 9 a.m. in 404 Old Main. The hearings, entering their 15th day, will be in session today, Friday, and Wednesday through Friday of next week. Various professors will be called on to testify at the hearings. The hearings are being conducted by Sidney Lawrence of Pittsburgh to determine the makeup of a possible collective bargaining unit for the University faculty. The Penn State University Professional Association (PSUPA) has petitioned the PLRB for a vote to determine bargaining status with the University. The vote would include all University faculty, except those at Hershey Medical Center, most staff exempt professional employes in the University's Code 5 class, and depart ment. (heads in the Code 3 section. The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has intervened in the hearings and would be on the final ballot for deter mination of a bargaining unit.
