Confirmation recommendations, without dissenting vote, were ap proved for Elliot L. Richardson, named to be secretary of De fense; William P. Clements Jr., to be deputy secretary of De fense, and James R. Schlesinger, to be director of the Central In telligence Agency. The three nominees still face delay in Senate confirmation un til after Inauguration Day, Sat urday. Sen. Harold E. Hughes, D- lowa, withdrew his demand for full public disclosure of the fi nancial holdings of Richardson and Clements, but by voting “present” in committee reserved his right to seek to block Senate confirmation as a protest against the war in Vietnam. Freshman Sen. James E. Appointees Approved Abourezk, D-S.D., urged the Sen ate to withhold approval of all presidential nominees and to cut off funds for the White House staff in an effort to recapture authority from the President. Hughes earlier had asked the Senate Democratic leader, Mike Mansfield of Montana, to hold up action on Richardson, Clements and Schlesinger, at least until after Nixon’s second-term inaug uration Saturday. In his first Senate speech Tues day, Abourezk accused Nixon of exceeding his authority in the Vietnam war and impounding money appropriated by Congress. “The Constitution gives us two ultimate weapons, the power of the purse and the right to advise and consent on appointments,” Abourezk said. “We must now make full use of both. . . Mansfield told a newsman he would honor the request of sen ators to withhold confirmation actions for a reasonable time, but he did not think such moves would accomplish anything be cause government business still could proceed. Senate Republican L e a d er Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania called it “a little petty to delay the President’s Cabinet,” and ac cused Democrats of playing poli tics. Sen. John C. Stennis, D-Miss., committee chairman, made public a letter from Richardson assert ing that his assets had been in a blind trust since he took office as undersecretary of State in ear ly 1969. He said he did not know the identity and amounts of his in vestments now, and established a blind irrevocable trust with his wife and children as benefici- ciaries last month with part of his assets. Richardson said he would re quest his trustees to divest the trust within 90 days of all in vestments on the Defense De partment list of prime contrac tors and not to reinvest in any securities on the list until he leaves government service. Richardson requested, upon ad vice of his trustees, an exception for “one common stock” which he said he could not identify but he was informed had a remote chance of being a conflict of in terest. Hughes told the committee that he was satisfied that “every purge has been made.” ACLU Protests Pentagon Gag Rule On War Barcelona RESERVE A GREAT APARTMENT FOR FALL RENTAL OFFICE NOW OPEN FOR SELECTION 700 Dominik - Call 846-1709 for Information Student Section, Tennis Courts, Basketball and Volleyball Courts, T.V.

NEW YORK (AFS) — The American Civil Liberties Union has revealed and called for recis- sion of a Department of Defense order to all commands gagging all defense personnel, both civilian and military, from discussing the Paris Peace talks and the Viet nam war. The ACLU said of the order that “it is hard to imagine any more sweeping abridgement of constitutional rights.” The DOD directive was issued by Pentagon public affairs offi cial Jerry W. Friedham, apparent ly on Dec. 30. It said, in full: “The White House has this morning made an announcement of international conse- quences concerning the resump tion of peace negotiations and a suspension of some military ac tivities in Southeast Asia. There must be absolutely no repeat no comment of any sort whatsoever from any DOD personnel, civilian and military, of whatever rank. There is to be no comment, no speculation, no elaboration and no discussion on the subjects involved in the White House announce ment. Should any queries be re- A&M Polo Club Rescues Motorists During Cold Spell Members of A&M’s Polo Club took advantage of the icy road conditions Thursday and Friday in an effort to raise money for the club’s trip to Darien, Conn., in March to compete in the Na tional Intercollegiate Indoor Polo Championship. Club members were on call during the two days to rescue motorists who had slid into ditches or were stranded on slick streets. Mike McCleary, player-coach for the indoor polo team said the club had collected about $20 by Friday afternoon. He said a con servative estimate of the club’s expenses at the national meet would be about $750. ceived by anyone, they must be turned away without comment and called promptly to the atten tion of (the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs.)” The ACLU became aware of the order early in January when two of its offices received complaints from DOD personnel that they were being gagged. In a letter to Defense Secretary Melvin Laird, ACLU Executive Director Aryeh Neier said, “If the Department of Defense wishes to limit official pronouncement to authorized spokesmen, that is certainly appropriate. But there can be no possible justification for suspending the civil liberties of millions of citizens who are employed by the Department of Defense.” Neier pointed out that the order bars DOD personnel from talking “to each other or anyone else about the overriding issue of na tional concern—the question of peace in Vietnam.” He said the directive is “so in sensitive to First Amendment freedoms” that its rescission will not be enough to assure DOD employes that their First Amend ment rights are secure. He called on Laird to issue a statement ex plicitly recognizing that military and civilian employes “do not be come second class citizens when they enter government service.” Bulletin Board THURSDAY Aggie All Star Bowling League will meet Thursday night at Tri angle Bowling Lanes.

Called Lunokhod 2, the vehicle looks like a covered washtub on eight wire wheels. It is equipped with television cameras to trans mit to earth panoramas of the terrain on the eastern edge of the broad Sea of Serenity. Riding piggyback aboard the landing stage of the spacecraft Luna 21, Lunokhod 2 landed ear ly Tuesday morning in the Le- monnier Crater. Ground control lers checked out its systems and then “drove” it down a gang plank onto the crater floor. The crater is north of the Taurus-Littrow highlands area explored by U.S. astronauts Eu gene A. Cernan and Harrison H. Schmitt during 75 hours on the moon Dec. 11-14. In announcing Lunokhod’s landing, the news agency Tass said it will continue a program of detailed mapping of the lunar surface begun by its pioneer -ain, the decessor, Lunokhod 1, wYsrs dailj roamed the Sea of Rains fo:aredo a months in 1970 and 1971. “Conve Lunokhod 1 began its ran ire time Nov. 17, 1970, immediately in *^ n li landing aboard the carrier!
