agreed to encourage voter registra
tion by students of predominantly
black Prairie View A&M, heading off
what Secretary of State Mark White
called a “potentially volatile situa
tion. ”
White told a news conference
Thursday that the county will hire
two assistant registrars and station
them at the campus.
White went to the county Wed
nesday to look into complaints that
tax Assessor-Collector LeRoy E.
Symm was refusing to appoint roving
voter registrars and was applying
overly stringent residence stan
dards.
Complaints had been raised by
two black legislators, Reps. Paul
Ragsdale of Dallas and Hall of Hous
ton.
White said the students will not be
asked such questions as where they
have registered their cars. State
ments that they reside in the county
will be taken at face value unless a
student volunteers information that
would contradict such a statement,
White said.
He said Symm had had bad ex
periences with roving deputies and
has a legal right not to appoint any if
he prefers to use county employes.
“The registrars will be taking ap
plications from students who wish to
register in Waller or in any county in
the state. Those students who wish
to register in a county other than
Waller will have their applications
forwarded to the appropriate regis
trar in the state,” White said.
He predicted that Prairie View
will have “the highest ratio of regis
tered voters of any school in the Un
ited States.”
Hall said the Waller County action
“brings to a close one of the most
outrageous chapters in Texas civil
rights history.”

KWEILIN, China - Richard Ni
xon, tourist, cruised 50 miles
the Li river today past spectacular
mountains that he repeatedly com
pared to pyramids.
The former president suggested to
the Chinese officials escorting him
and his wife, Pat, that they put out a
guidebook for the scenic area and
added: “And don’t forget I was the
first to call them the pyramid hills.
When people come to Kweilin, you
can say, ‘We have our pyramids just
like Egypt and Mexico.
The Chinese nodded approvingly.
The mountains along the Li have
been painted for centuries by
Chinese artists, and the former pres
ident commented: “You can really
see why the Chinese painters came
here the way they diet.
“It’s just like Yosemite except for
the snow in winter,” said the visitor
from California.
An American reporter accompany
ing Nixon again asked him for com
ment on the criticism in the United
States of his trip. At first he seemed
to ignore the question, as he had be
fore, but then he said, “Not right
now. ”
There was no indication, however,
when he might comment.
In Washington, President Ford
said Thursday that the Nixon trip
“probably was harmful” to Ford s
cause in the New Hampshire prim
ary. And Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger said he did not expect to
see his former boss when Kissinger
goes to California this weekend to
join his wife, who is recuperating
from an operation.
Sailing down the river in a
shallow-draft barge towed by a
motorized vessel, the Nixons passed

who applauded as they went by.
The river journey ended after six
hours in the town of Yangshuo, and
the Nixons returned to Kweilin for
an evening program of songs and
dances.
Tomorrow they go to Canton, the
largest city in south China. There
they will visit a commune and the hot
springs.
The N ixons leave Canton for home
on Sunday, flying by special Chinese
plane via Tokyo and Anchorage,
