Both votes were dose, with the House tally in doubt up to the last minute. The House late Tuesday voted 208-205 to Vescind the embargo, provided the president certifies tire action to be in the national interest, and the Turkish gov ernment moves positively to ward a Cyprus solution. The Senate vote last week was 57 to 42, again with conditions that Carter monitor progress on the Cyprus situation. Both votes came on amend ments to different versions of the International Security Act. The legislation will have to go to con ference to reconcile differences after the House finished work on the omnibus bill Wednesday. But the way was clear for an early end of the arms blockage that Carter and defense officials claimed has badly deteriorated Turkey’s military posture In NATO and deprived the United States of key intelligence monitoring bases that were closed by Turkey in retaliation. Carter said the House vote re flected "a bipartisan, statesman like recognition that the time has come to turn a new page in our relations with the countries of the eastern Mediterranean.” ’This decision by the House is a crucial step toward strengthen ing the vital southern flank of NATO,” Carter said. Tt will soon make possible the re opening of our military installa tions in Turkey.” House Democratic Leader Jim Wright of Texas worked out the compromise after huddling Tuesday morning with State De partment officials. He told the House he had been assured the administration “will support and implement everything in this amendment." Wright's amendment said the embargo would be lifted “on the president’s determination and certification to the Congress that the resumption of full military cooperation with Turkey is in the national interest of the United States and in the interest of NATO,” of which both Greece and Turkey are members. narks nth 32 S{ I. 1090 p: I and i ), dowii (Friction with Carter aides auses adviser to resign ter 3S )ll!.

The resignation was not made public until Tuesday night. In a telephone interview with UPI, Costanza, who is vacationing, said: “I am disappointed that I will not be able to continue working with the president. But I’m not sad. I m not angry with anyone. “No one asked me to go. In fact, the president asked me to stay. I have such confidence that what I have done is right. I still respect and love Jimmy Carter." An official said Carter planned to “consult with Midge on the person who replaces her.” Costanza’s outspoken advocacy of ERA, women’s rights and minority causes sparked friction with other top presidential aides, who ques tioned her image and style. Her role at the White House had been, downgraded _in recent weeks, and she was forced to move to basement rooms from space near Carter’s Oval Office on the main floor. But her aggressive personal style continued to bring her into conflict with other Carter advisers. In a letter to the president, she said she was confident he shared her concern over social issues of impor tance to young and old, ethnic minorities and women — and, espe cially, over the need for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. But, she added, “It has become clear that our approaches to fulfil ling them are different. “My own approach has been largely one of advocacy. I have sought to advise you on the con cerns assigned to me and to present those interests and needs to you. “There are those who suggest that I should have simply carried out your policies and not voiced my own opinions and ideas openly. But that was not my style, my experience or my interpretation of how I could best serve you and your con stituents. “In recent months I have had to deal increasingly with the subject of approach rather than that of sub stance, spending valuable time and energy on discussions of whether I have spoken out too much, what my relations are to your other senior staff, or where my office is located. ” isedt GET ACQUAINTED OFFER BRASS BELT BUCKLES ONLY AT THE WITH PURCHASE ^ OF ANY PAIR OF BOOTS OR SHOES.

The charge was leveled Friday by Maj. Pete Peterson, the Army’s Midwest chief of public affairs, fol lowing a three-month investigation into recruiting practices at a Grand Rapids recruiting office. Five recruiters and 11 potential recruits apparently were involved in the alleged diplomas-for- enlistments scheme, Peterson said. A Justice Department spokesman said the department was looking into the matter to determine whether any false statements had been submitted to a federal agency. “Five separate investigations into the illegal practice of supplying false }~Mary of the Oaks ! j the Brazos Valley | MONTESSORI i SCHOOL . has openings for children 2 1 /2 to f f 3 in its newly opening daily af- j a ternoon session beginning " » Sept. 1.
