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

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

Muckley campaign manager Leonard
Saffir said in New York that his man has
been approached both by Reagan and

vention, was not available for comment.
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. ,

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."

secret, four more potential candidates

House bars federal abortion funds
WASHINGTON (UPI) The House
yesterday voted for the third time in less
than two months to bar use of federal
funds to perform abortions.
The action on the emotional and

House approved a $56.6 billion ap

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.

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.

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

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.

According to Loop driver Alex Holt,
student jobs would be endangered if the
drivers were unionized under the
Teamsters.
In addition to deciding who will
represent the drivers, the hearing will

indication where the guerrilla base was

Mozambique and 4,000 are undergoing
military training, aided by Russian,
Cuban and Tanzanian advisers,
preparing for a major offensive timed
for the October rainy season.
The government statement said the

Rep. Joel Pritchard, R-Wash., whose
motion to drop the House ban was
defeated, said the ban is aimed "against
the poor women, the women on welfare,
the very ones least able to handle this
problem. 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

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

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.
