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.

Local school taxes
named after Briscoe
TYLER,Tex. (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-

cial session to help schools out of
their financial conditions,” Cran
berry told a civic club luncheon.
“These should be called Briscoe
taxes. ’ They are broken promises. ”
Cranberry also claimed that
Briscoe’s recommendation to do
away with state utilities state taxes
was a “false promise.”
“In the first place the $80 million
tax relief promise would only mean
about $40 million relief to individu
als while businesses would get
another $40 million. 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.
