Bayh withdraws from presidential race

Sen. Birch Bayh, a candidate with no
to go but out after his drubbing in the
chusetts presidential primary, con-
led with his stategists Wednesday, ap-
ently to look for a graceful way to the
nocratic exit.
There’s no other decision for Bayh to

met in Washington,

en. Henry M. Jackson of Washington
|ored his triumph in the Tuesday voting,
ich put him atop the field with 23 per
it of the vote in a splintered, nine-way
test.
lep. Morris K. Udall of Arizona was re-
ing, too, at a second place showing that
ked him the top man among liberal
imocrats.
fdall’s task now is to convince liberal
femocrats that they ought to coalesce
|und his candidacy, and he worked at it
arguing at a New York news conference
the is now the only champion the prog-
ressives have.
On the Republican side. President Ford
won the Massachusetts and Vermont
primaries on Tuesday, but a spokesman for
Ronald Reagan predictably discounted the
victories. Neither Ford nor Reagan cam
paigned in Massachusetts and he was not
on the ballot in Vermont, where he got
about 16 percent of the vote on write-ins.
Florida’s Democratic presidential prim-
ary, testing Jackson against Alabama Gov.
George C. Wallace and former Georgia
Gov. Jimmy Carter — who had a short
flight as front-runner but ran fourth in Mas
sachusetts, is next on the polling place
itinerary. The President and his conserva
tive GOP challenger face their next all-out
contest in Florida in a week.
But Udall is not campaigning there. So
for now, his campaign arena will be the
reform equivalent of the smoke-filled
room, trying to broaden his base with old-
line party stalwarts, labor and black lead
ers.
“It’s going to be what I call operation
outreach, he said.
Jackson was moving on to the Florida
campaign while insisting it wouldn’t be a
decisive test. He said New York, which
holds its primary on April 6, with 274
nominating votes at stake, would be the
next real measurement of Democratic can
didates.
He told a Boston news conference that a
coalition of blue- and white-collar workers,
voter mistrust of the administration’s de
tente foreign policy, a big boost from or
ganized labor, and hard work added up to
his primary victory.
He denied that his opposition to the
court-ordered busing of school children for
racial integration, a bitter issue in Boston,
was a significant factor. “I never made a
busing speech, ” Jackson said. “I responded
to questions. ”
That wasn’t quite the case. “I’m against
busing,” he said in a speech in Haymarket
Square last Saturday. There was no ques
tioner to prompt that, or the newspaper
advertisements in which he had taken the
same position.
“I’ll fight the bigots wherever I can,”
Jackson said Wednesday. “Let’s get an
honest dialogue going on the alternatives to
busing.”
Jackson had run an intensive, expensive
campaign, with a budget that approached
$500,000.
Carter, who won Tuesday’s Vermont
primary but saw that and his initial New
Hampshire victory quickly overtaken by
the Massachusetts verdict, was campaign
ing in Florida.
The Massachusetts returns left him
badly in need for a win there, if he is to
re-establish his ranking at the top of the
field.
He was beginning a swing through 24
Florida cities, saying that campaigns cen
tered on opposition to busing are basically
negative with “connotations of racism.
“. . . I’m not in favor of mandatory bus
ing, but to run my campaign on an antibus
ing issue is contrary to my basic nature,”
Carter said in Orlando.
For all of that, Jackson and Carter iden
tified themselves in Massachusetts as foes
of busing, less stridently than did Wallace,
but nonetheless clearly.

areas are being studied :
Two new courts could be added to
the existing four varsity courts, but
they would take up a large part of an
intramural football field north of the
courts. They might also interfere
with the renovation and additions to
regular playing courts.
Another possible location is across
Wellborn Road near the rodeo
arena.
Such a distance from G. Rollie
White Coliseum might be an incon
venience for the players.
“It’s king of out in the boondocks, ”
Luedecke said.
Designers at the A&M Physical
Plant will examine the possibilities of
the various sites. They will form a
project to be considered by the
executive planning committee,
which will probably meet in early
April, he said.
Meanwhile, Luedecke plans to
meet with student members of the
planning committee on individual
projects.
“Eventually, we will come up with
something suitable to both the tennis
people and the money spenders,”
Luedecke said.
