Douglas Jewelry 212 N. Main Downtown Bryan 822-3119 DALLAS (AP)—Honolulu ac tivist Tony Hodges wants to see lots of new faces, especially among the nation’s elected officeholders. Hodges, spokesman for the New Amerian Revolution, is crisscros sing the country in a campaign to have all long-term officeholders voted out this year. “The first American revolution was fought to kick out a foreign gov ernment. The New American Re volution is a fight to get back gov ernment that people now feel is foreign to them,” Hodges told a news conference Tuesday. Hodges said the aim of the New American Revolution is to return the government to the people by first removing all incumbents who have served more than two consecu tive terms and by limiting future office seekers to two consecutive terms. Hodges said that critics question whether incumbents with experi ence should be voted out. “The experience of people in Comgress is the experience of fail ure,” he said. He listed some issues he thinks Congress has failed to solve: inadequacies in Social Sec urity, air and water pollution, mass transportation and crime. Hodges said his trip is financed partially by $5,000 donated by Honolulu citizens who were familiar with his work with a citizen s action group. He quipped $1,000 was donated by a businessman who wanted him out of town and offered him more to stay away longer than three months. Hodges and his wife raised another $15,000 through a bank loan using their home as collateral. Hodges said that elected officials would be free to run for office after sitting out at least one term. Government has become non representative because of the unli mited terms of office permitted, the seniority system and the power of incumbency, he said. “I’m not suggesting that it’s a panacea,” he said, “but it just re moves two of the barriers to having a government that truly reflects the population. ” * The focus of the campaign is aimed at Congress, he said. The New American Revolution, which grew out of an idea by Hodges, has sent registered letters to each congressman asking a reply by registered mail and with a notarized signature stating whether the congressman will introduce and support a bill to enact a law limiting terms of office. Hodges said that power held by incumbents in Congress coupled with the seniority system has led to pecking order that gives committee chairmen an “iron hand.” This prac tice is a denial of the one-man, one- vote idea that Congress was founded on, he said.

(AP)—Texas’ next governor should be sensitive to the. state’s taxpayers, Jim Cranberry, Republican candidate for governor, told East Texans Tuesday. In appearances at Longview and Tyler, the 41-year-old former Lub bock mayor said his Democratic op ponent, Gov. Dolph Briscoe, has not lived up to his “no-new-tax” promises. “There are no new taxes at the state level but many local school dis tricts have had to increase taxes be cause Briscoe refused to call a spe- ie ROB INGLIS a dramatization of Chaucer's (Caittrrlmnj IN MODERN ENGLISH (lalri'i WED., OCT. 16 8:00 RM.

There would be no relief to thousands of students in dormitories, no relief to thousands of apartment dwellers, no relief to the elderly in nursing homes or rent homes,” he said. In a Longview news conference, Cranberry claimed Briscoe was using taxpayers’ money for his cam paign. “Some people who are work ing for the state are working in his campaign. Secretary Mark White is traveling around Central Texas making political speeches for Bris coe . . . when a man on the state payroll who is the governor’s one- man cabinet, and the chief elections officer, does this, it brings on an aura of Watergate.” Ford’s image said dropping sharply now NEW YORK (AP) — President Ford’s standing with the public has dropped sharply since his pardon of former President Richard M. Nixon, the Harris survey has re ported. A month ago, the poll said, 67 per cent of those contacted thought Ford’s over-all performance in the White House was good, while 20 per cent dissented. The Harris firm said a current sampling of 1,544 adults showed that only 45 per cent approved, while 49 per cent reacted nega tively. “Mr. Ford is still well above the 26 per cent low registered by Richard Nixon on the eve of his res ignation,” the pollster said. “Without a doubt, a cross Presi dent Ford will have to bear indefi nitely is the Nixon pardon, for which he receives a 67-29 per cent negative.
