Nixon
WASHINGTON <A>>—The Sen
ate Armed Services Committee
Tuesday approved President Nix
on’s nominees for top positions
in intelligence and defense.
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.”

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.”

Unmanned Russian Moon Vehicle r^j's
Maps Crater On Lunar Surface *2
tra!
ectio:
le Natic
MOSCOW <A>) — A robot So
viet moon car rolled onto the lu
nar surface Tuesday to map a
large crater about 120 miles
from an area explored by Apollo
17 astronauts last month.
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!
Luna 17. Using solar batter
for power, Lunokhod 1 travej
6V2 miles and mapped about
half million square yards oft
lunar surface.
Lunokhod 2 is also powered:
solar batteries, and Tass said
will remain stationary uY
Thursday charging the cells :

its lunar travels.
Also like its predecessor,! "
nokhod 2 is equipped with devif :
to drill for soil samples and:

A French-built laser reflect! 11
can be used to determine wit: 1
