Anderson to
WASHINGTON (UPI)
Anderson, the Illinois Republican
whose moderate ideology is at odds
with GOP conservatives, today
planned to announce he will begin an
exploratory campaign to run as an
independent candidate for president.
Sources said Anderson would
qualify his announcement as
dependent on getting a continuing
positive response to his candidacy.
But the sources said Anderson will
actually begin campaigning as an
independent this weekend, going to
Arkansas and West Virginia two
states with approaching deadlines for
getting on the ballot.
They said he also will begin to raise
money as an independent, and is
taking the exploratory route only to
give himself an out should his can
didacy flop. Anderson told reporters
last week he was “strongly leaning”
toward making the maverick race.
Anderson has scheduled a news
conference today to make his an
nouncement.
Supporters yesterday filed suf
ficient petitions in New Jersey to get
Anderson on the ballot there the
first state where he has met the
requirement.
Sources said Anderson is confident
enough of getting ' the required
number of signatures in
Massachusetts, the next deadline,
University student successful in write-in campaign
By PHILIP GUTIS
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
University student Robert C. Brazill
(7th-division of undergraduate studies)
staged a successful write-in campaign in
Tuesday’s general primary for
nomination to the Democratic ballot in
November. . ... , . .
Student turnout for the'primary was
very high, with 1,563 or 75 percent of the
registered Republicans voting and
1,129 or 57 percent of the 1,993 registered
Democrats voting in the eight student
dominated precincts.
Local election returns also indicated
that Republican candidate George Bush
beat national front-runner Ronald
Reagan in every State College precinct,
receiving 45 percent of the vote to
Reagan’s 22 percent.
Brazill, a 24-year-old State College
resident, will now run against freshman
incumbent Rep. Gregg Cunningham, R-
Ceritre Region, for the state House of
representatives seat from the 77th
District.
Cunningham, who was unopposed on
the Republican ticket, . received 75
percent of 4,052 Republican votes in
State College. The state representative
also received 37 write-in Democratic
vWtes in the borough.
He received a total of 6,977 Republican
Japan joins allies
in sanction effort
TOKYO (UPI) Defying an Iranian
threat of a permanent oil embargo, the
Japanese government yesterday said it
will join America’s European Common
Market allies and impose the same
sanctions against Iran.
Iran, which already has imposed an oil
embargo ; against' Japan because of
Tokyo’s refusal to pay another price
increase, sought by the Tehran regime,
Tuesday warned that nations supporting
the United States in the hostage crisis
may be deprived of Iranian oil forever.
Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira and
his cabinet endorsed the Common
Market sanctions package announced
Tuesday after hearing a report by
Foreign Minister Saburo Okita, who
returned to Tokyo following con
sultations with his European Economic
Community foreign ministers in
Luxembourg, official sources said.
The sources said Ohira instructed
ministries to map out
specific measures for cabinet approval

that he will bypass a personal effort
there.
Anderson has finished second in
five GOP primaries and won 56
national convention delegates. But
even his staff has conceded for some
weeks there is no way for him to win
the Republican nomination.
The white-haired, 58-year-old
Anderson begins his independent
drive in a better position than any
such candidate in modern American
history, although non-major-party
candidates traditionally drop in
popularity as election day ap
proaches.
The most successful independent or
third-party presidential candidate
was Theodore Roosevelt, who ran as
the candidate of the Bull Moose Party
in 1912 after being denied the GOP
nomination by party conservatives.
Roosevelt won 28 percent of the
national vote and finished second, but
he split GOP ranks and allowed
Democrat Woodrow Wilson to win the
White House.
Both parties this year are worried
about the effect of an Anderson
candidacy on the election, with the
consensus now that he will hurt
Carter more than Reagan because his
appeal is more to liberals than
conservatives.
Recent polls have shown Anderson
getting 17 percent to 21 percent of the
and 74 Democratic votes (all write-in).
The 77th District encompasses the
boroughs of State College and Unionville.
along with Benner, College, Ferguson,
Halfmoon, Harris, Patton and Union
townships.
With 432 votes Brazill defeated
Democratic write-in candidate William
McConnell, who received 230 votes.
State College West Central precinct,
which is dominated by student voters,
was Brazill’s turning point in the elec
tion. Voters from West Halls and several
apartment buildings gave Brazill 78
votes and McConnell 8 votes.
In Tuesday’s other races, voters in
State College picked most of the winners
in the state.
The one major exception was the race
between President Jimmy Carter and
U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.
Kennedy won a slim popular vote victory
in the state, but in State College all but
two precincts reported victories for
Carter.
East Central 3, a student precinct,
reported 58 votes for Kennedy and 45 for
Carter, while the North West precinct
totals ended in a tie 81 votes for both
candidates.
Carter received 47 percent of the total
Democratic votes from State College,
while Kennedy received 37 percent.
Like the EEC sanctions package,
Japan’s immediate punitive action in
cludes the slashing of diplomatic
representation in Tehran and
withholding new export contracts, the
sources said.
However, they said Japanese Am
bassador Tsutomu Wada, who was
recalled to Tokyo last week for con
sultations, will return to Tehran on
Saturday.
Iran supplies about 10 percent of
Japan’s crude oil imports. But it cut off
the supply on Monday after Japanese
importers rejected an Iranian demand
for a $2.50 per barrel price increase.
Ohira told Parliament yesterday that
the cutoff will not immediately affect
supply and demand because Japan has a
95-day stockpile of oil.
Meanwhile, industry sources said
yesterday that Iran's state-run National
Iranian Oil Company has offered to
continue supplying Japan with heavy
and for the Japanese nearly useless
oil under the terms of existing contracts.
Under long-term contracts the NIOC
signed with Japanese trading and oil
companies last January, Japan agreed
to import 100,000 barrels of so-called C
grade oil on top of 520,000 barrels of
regular crude per day. The price,
originally set at $164 per ton, was
recently raised to $164.53.
The sources said the Japanese firms
are expected to accept delivery of the
heavy oil, which has little use in Japan
because of its heavy sulfur content, in
hopes of resuming imports of regular
crude. .

the likely Democratic and
Republican nominees.
More significantly, the polls show
half the nation’s voters are unhappy
with a Carter-Reagan choice, and it is
these dissatisfied voters the An
derson campaign will target.
There were also 86 no preference votes.
John B. Anderson, a Republican
presidential candidate, received 220
Democratic write-in votes in State
College. This bipartisan support could be
a signal of voters’ acceptance of an
independant race by Anderson.
Anderson received 1,277 Republican
write-in votes, or 32 percent of the vote.
In the Republican presidential
delegate race, three candidates where
chosen from the 23rd Congressional
District for the July convention in
Detroit.
The winners, Gerald L. Goble Jr.,
Robert G. Spencer and Rebecca Corman
received the most votes in the 23rd
District.
However, in State College, the
Republican delegate candidate who
received the most votes was Ronald M.
Friedman. Friedman had said that if
elected he would have possibly sup
ported Anderson.
Two University students, Joyce
Cullinan (12th-journalism) and Andy
Atkins (llth-political science) were
running as write-in candidates. Cullinan
and Atkins had said they intended to
support Anderson if elected. They each
received 165 votes in State College
nowhere near the amount needed for
victory.

Anderson came toCongress in 1960

Since then, Anderson has moved

disagreement over such social issues
as abortion and gun control.

Pennsylvania names 3 delegates
By KAREN LEHRMAN

The three delegates to the national Republican convention
elected from Central Pennsylvania have been determined, but
the four delegates to the Democratic national convention will
not be known until next week.
Rebecca Corman,Gerald L. Goble Jr. and Robert G.
Spencer will go to the Republican convention in Detroit,
Michigan.
Since Pennsylvania is a closed primary state, registered
Republicans are only able to vote for Republican candidates,
and registered Democrats are only eligible to vote for
Democratic candidates. Registered independents can not vote
in primaries.
Both Republicans and Democrats ■ elect delegates from
congressional districts in Pennsylvania, but the parties’
processes differ. Voters registered in State College are part of
the 23rd District, which encompasses 11 counties.

TEHRAN, Iran (UPI) In a bid to
thwart Western sanctions, Iran
yesterday announced several major
moves to expand economic and
diplomatic ties with the Soviet Union and
the Communist bloc.
It also revealed plans to expel nearly
all American correspondents in Tehran.
Economic Affairs Minister Reza
Salimi said the Soviet Union had
promised to “open its roads for Iran” to
evade an American naval blockade of
Iran’s Persian Gulf ports, should one
come to pass.
He said Iran would soon sign an im
portant trade protocol with Moscow,
adding that the Islamic regime already
has been approached by most East
European countries with offers to buy
the oil and other exports either
boycotted by or denied to the United
States and its allies.
One such agreement was signed with
East Germany, the East German news
agency ADN reported. In another move
seen as a friendly gesture towards
Moscow, Iran established diplomatic
relations with South Yemen, the only
officially Marxist state in the Persian
Gulf area.
The moves came amid more student
unrest on Iran’s volatile university
campuses, continued clashes in the
western Kurdish region and on the 172nd
day of captivity for the 50 American
hostages in Tehran.
and Republican parties had eight can
didates for the nomination.

Registered Republicans have two selections. One vote goes
to the presidential candidate and then voters choose three
delegate candidates.
The presidential candidate who wins the most votes does not
win any delegates. Therefore, the race is called a “beauty
contest.”
Republican delegate candidates appear uncommitted on the
ballot. Winning delegates go to the Republican convention in
July and vote for the candidate of their choice.
At least two of the 23rd District delegates are uncommitted.
“Neither Reagan or Bush carried the district by five percent
or better. That would have been the only way I’d commit
myself,” said Corman, a resident of Bellefonte. “Now I’ll see
how the rest of the primaries go. But I might not make up my
mind ’til I get to Detroit.”
Spencer, of Clearfield County said,“l haven’t made up my
mind yet, but I know I definitely won’t vote for Anderson.”
The National Guidance Ministry also
stopped renewing visas and credentials
for American journalists and foreign
press ministry chief Abolhassem Sadegh
said this would likely be a prelude to
their expulsion a decision he said
would be taken on Saturday when the
ruling Revolutionary Council meets.
Sadegh accused the America media of
distorting the news from Iran and of
being overly concerned about the
Americans held hostage in their em
bassy since Nov. 4.
■ All U.S. news organizations and
correspondents would probably be ex
pelled except United Press In
ternational, which he said “would be
allowed to continue to function as a link
with the United States.”
If they are expelled, it will be the
second time since the revolution that
American correspondents have been
ordered out of Iran en masse.
The last time was in January, when all
American news organizations including
UPI were expelled for what authorities
then asserted was distorted news
coverage. A number of correspondents
later were re-admitted.
West European and Canadian news
organizations will not be affected by the
expulsion provided they do not attempt
to supply American clients with news. If
they do, Sadegh said, then certain
measures to be decided at Saturday’s
meeting would be taken against them.
Michael A_o’Pake and Republican
Leßoy S. Zimmerman captured the
nomination in an unopposed contest.
O’Pake received 43 percent of the State
College Democratic vote.
Incumbent Democratic state
Treasurer Bob Casey captured the

Republican R. Budd Dwyer was
nominated in an uncontested race.
