Rockefeller abandons
o ntjpuuiiucui uuKei
WASHINGTON Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller,
without offering any explanation, told President Ford Monday he
did not want to be considered as his 1976 running mate.
The White House said the move was "at the initiative of the vice
president" and had not been suggested by Ford.
Many Republican leaders said Rockefeller's unexpected move
should strengthen Ford's hand against a presidential bid by former
Gov. Ronald Reagan of California.
Rockefeller's announcement took the nation by surprise, although
Press Secretary Ron Nesson said the vice president and Ford had
discussed the matter over the past two days.
Rockefeller's announcement threw the race for the GOP vice
presidential nomination wide open. In addition to Reagan, among
those who have been mentioned are Eliott Richardson, now
ambassador to England, Sens. Howard Baker and William Brock of
Tennessee, Donald Rumsfeld, the White House chief of staff, Gov.
Robert Ray of Iowa, former Gov. John Connally of Texas and
Robert Finch of California, the former HEW secretary.
Rockefeller's letter gave no explanation for the move, and gave no
hint as to the vice president's plans beyond serving out the balance of
his term. He refused requests to meet with reporters.
In Florida, Reagan said he was "astounded" by the announcement
and added that he felt the American people "would refuse to accept
Rockefeller" as Ford's running mate.
Senate GOP leader Hugh Scott, a long time Rockefeller backer,
seemed upset by the announcement and said, "I do think we damn
well better have a balanced ticket."
Ford backs Kissinger, fires Schlesinger
WASHINGTON President Ford threw his weight behind
Henry A. Kissinger Monday in an apparent major showdown over
national security policy that resulted in Ford's dismissal of Defense
Secretary James R. Schlesinger and CIA Director William E. Colby.
The White House refused comment on the firings until the
President could hold a Monday night news conference on nationwide
television and radio.
But after speaking to Ford by telephone, Senate Democratic
Leader Mike Mansfield confirmed that Schlesinger would be
succeeded at the Pentagon by White House chief of staff Donald
Rumsfeld, and that ambassador George Bush would become the new
CIA director.
Mansfield said Ford told him in an early morning phone call that
"he did what he did on his own, without any pressures or outside
advice. He has said that he wants to set up his own team."
Kissinger, as secretary of state, appeared to have triumphed over
administration critics of his policy of detente with the Soviet Union
and consolidated his own position of power within the
administration in the biggest high-level shakeup in Washington
since the "Saturday Night Massacre" of Watergate two years ago.
Kissinger was reported to have relinquished his companion post as
the President's national security affairs adviser and head of the
National Security Council staff, to be succeeded by Air Force Lt.
Gen. Brent Scowcroft, a Kissinger loyalist.
Schlesinger, who was harshly critical of Kissinger in at least one
recent private conversation, has been publicly skeptical of Soviet
intentions and has argued strongly for increased U.S. military
spending.
Colby had been expected to leave the CIA early next year, after
completion of critical congressional investigations into the
intelligence agency. Kissinger was reported to have felt that Colby,
who succeeded Schlesinger at the CIA, was too candid and
cooperative in his testimony at legislative hearings.
Spain's Franco suffers another setback
MADRID, Spain Generalissimo Francisco Franco suffered a
massive hemorrhage Monday-and a government source said he was
sinking slowly.
Franco was wracked by internal bleeding that required 1 A gallops
of blood transfusions and emergency surgery to prolong his life.
Palace aides said the 82-year-old Spanish leader was moved to a
hospital in his El Pardo palace complex and came through the
operation, the first of his two-week crisis, in "most grave" condition.
Franco's successor, Prince Juan Carlos de Borbon, family and top
military and government aides watched through a glass door
partition as his team of surgeons made their frantic effort to save
Franco.
The aides had said earlier that both the transfusions and surgery
had been ruled out because Franco could survive the shock of
neither.
Six hours after "sudden and large gastro-intestinal hemorrhage"
hit, the aides said the bleeding had been controlled, at least
temporarily.
They said doctors had patched a burst artery and also removed an
ulcer from Franco's stomach.
Franco was moved from his palace bedroom to the hospital of his
2,000 horse guards, 200 yards from his apartments, in an ambulance
for the operation.
His successor, Prince Juan Carlos de Borbon, his family, and top
military and government aides rushed to the El Pardo palace atthe
first announcement of a setback at 4 p.m.
It was the third maj or crisis in the two-week fight for life of the man
who has ruled Spain for 36 years. He was stricken with influenza Oct.
17 and suffered the first of three heart attacks Oct. 21.
House Banking Committee okays loan to N.Y.
WASHINGTON The House Banking Committee voted 23-16
M onday to make $7 billion in federally guaranteed loans available to
New York City. An opponent conceded the bill had a 50-50 chance of
passing.
Meanwhile, Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., told a news conference
he believed the issue over whether the federal government should
seek to avert New York's default may have been a catalyst in Vice
President Rockefeller's decision to leave office when his term ends in
1977.
Ford has proposed that instead of advancing billions to permit
New York City to avert default on its debts, the government should
enact legislation making possible an orderly transition into
bankruptcy under which a federal court would assume financial
control of the city.
House Democrats planned to attach Ford's proposal to their own
giving the administration discretionary authority to provide up to
$7 billion in federally guaranteed loans either before or after default
occurs.

I'm an Air Force officer and this
is my sweet chariot. When I visit
home people are happy to see me.
And proud. They say I'm doing my
part in the community by showing
the young people and the adults
that you really can make it. You
really can get your share of the
good life.
I also feel good about my posi
tion in the Air Force community.
I'm a leader there, too. I'm some
one the other brothers and sisters
I meet in the service can look to.
And it reassures them to know they
have a voice in Air Force matters
that concern them.
The Air Force needs more lead
ers... pilots . . . aircrew members . . .
math majors... science and engi
neering majors. You might be one
of them and the best way to find
that out is in an Air Force ROTC
program. There are two, three, and
four-year programs. Scholarship
and non-scholarship. Why not look
into all of them and see if one fits
your plans? It's worth it, brother.
FRESHMAN! TRY OUR 3 Vi YEAR PROGRAM!

Handling of comptroller bill
could show faciionina of CGC
A News Analysis
by Chris Fuller
Staff Writer
The Campus Governing Council has
apparently split into two major factions
which will become evident tonight when the
council votes on a bill to establish the office
of student body comptroller.
The CGC blocs began to form during the
controversy created when former Student
Body Treasurer Mike O'Neal was fired by
Student Body President Bill Bates, Bates
said Monday.
The two factions are divided in their
reactions to O'Neal's influence. One group
supports action endorsed by O'Neal and the
other does not.
The platform of the O'Neal bloc is to
center Student Government's power within
the legislative body, CGC.
Such is the purpose of the comptroller bill,
which would, in effect, combine the
legislative and executive branches of Student
Government.
The comptroller would perform many of
the duties now performed by the student
body treasurer.
APO sponsors
film festival
Campus service fraternity Alpha Phi
Omega will sponsor its APO Fall Festival on
Wednesday, November 5.
The festival will consist of four short
feature films starring the Little Rascals,
Charlie Chaplin, Abbott and Costello
(featuring the Keystone Kops) and W.C.
Fields.
.The shows will be given at 7 and 9 p.m. in
106 Carroll Hall. Admission is $1, with
proceeds going to the Campus Chest fund,
which is donated entirely to charities.
Three cartoons will also be shown
Bates has offered a substitute bill
establishing an assistant student body
treasurer to act as an administrative aide to
the treasurer and become acting treasurer if
the treasurer cannot fulfill his duties.
After being shuffled between the three
CGC committees, the Bates bill was tabled
by the Administration Committee.
The bill was introduced by Bates at a
Finance Committee meeting last week. This
committee is headed bv Bill Strickland, a
recognized O'Neal ally. The bill was refused
for consideration and referred to the
Administration Committee, led by O'Neal
ally Dave Rittenhouse, where it was tabled.
Both bills have clauses making the offices
apolitical in that they prohibit the
comptroller and assistant treasurer from
holding any other office in Student
Government or any Student Government
funded organization.
The primary difference between the two
bills is the method of dismissal and hiring.
Bates' bill allows for presidential
appointment with CGC approval and for
dismissal by the president or CGC
impeachment.
The comptroller bill provides for CGC
selection and dismissal of the comptroller.
The comptroller bill is, as many
opponents of the bill have said, a reactionary
measure initiated after the Student Supreme
Court upheld Bates' dismissal of O'Neal.
Descriptions of the O'Neal bloc varies.
Bates' estimate of the bloc includes Ben
Steelman, Dick Pope, Rittenhouse and
Zapp Jennings.
Steelman, self-proclaimed member of the
O'Neal bloc, told the DTH Monday that
Pope, Strickland, Rittenhouse, Jennings
and Miguel de Vakerde were solid bloc
members.
"We agree consistently on issues,"
Steelman said.
He also said Sawyer and Doug Smith
usually vote with the bloc, while Tal Lassiter
sometimes agrees with them.
Observations of the council this year seem
to, in fact, indicate the following structure:
Pope, leader, and Steelman, whip, with the
remainder of the bloc being Strickland,
Rittenhouse, Jennings, Sawyer and Smith.
The O'Neal bloc is not the only faction in
CGC.
Bates said O'Neal once told him he
perceived a liberal faction on the council,
containing Speaker Dan Besse, Speaker Pro
Tern Laura Dickerson, Greg Reid, Sheri
Parks, Humphrey Cummings and Mike
Grissom. Recently, Bates could be added to
that faction.
In addition, Reid, Parks and Cummings,
the only black CGC members, tend to vote
together on issues promoting the cause of the
Black Student Movement or parties
sympathetic to the BSM.
