Lee Porter, registration secretary for the organization, concluded at the end of a three-month investiga tion “we will never know” whether Rogers won the presidency of the 13 million-member group by fraud. The election was held at the group’s convention in Houston dur ing June, and involved a critical con frontation between Rogers, the con servative and the liberal elements of the organizations. The report, released in Dallas and Nashville, said it was possible that as many as 1,000 delegates, called “messengers,” registered and voted without being elected by their churches, though most of them likely participated because of ambiguous election laws and not deliberate fraud. He said 69 children were il legally elected as delegates, 31 de nomination workers and foreign missionaries voted illegally, 107 per sons registered more than once and people voted for delegates who did not attend. “We caught some messengers with blood on their hands,” Porter told UPI, referring to the 284 regis trations “which were absolutely out of line” and the 47 churches which elected more than the maximum of 10 messengers per church. “There is no way, and there is no attempt, to overturn Rogers’ elec tion,” Porter said. “No way. He will come up for election again in St. Louis (at the 1980 convention). Usu ally, we elect our president to two successive one-year terms. “I do not anticipate any effort to overturn his election and I do not anticipate that he would have any opposition next year in St. Louis.” Porter said 2,000 ballot books were found during the investigation, with only the presidential race ballot tom out. They were then discarded with the delegates not bothering to vote on any of the many other issues and races thatwere being contested. He also said 39 churches had dele gates who were never elected or ap pointed but registered anyway. He said 31 of those worked for the Bap tist Convention itself at various levels. “Very sad,” said Porter’s one- paragraph, two-word response to the revelation. ** Butch and Sundance if The Early Days plus LUCKY LADY * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ''' The Night He Come Home!

Tn&iAaQe- ChyuxSA Betfe/c MM WANT ADS United Press International DALLAS — Agriculture Secre tary Bob Bergland has called for an urgent national commitment to energy independence to preserve the national security of the United States. Bergland said the nation needs more than the apathy of the past 20 years or anger over the diesel short age and gas lines of last spring. To end dependence on imported oil, he said, the nation needs “no thing less than public outrage that such a thing could happen to the most resourceful nation on the face of the earth.” The agriculture secretary said that farmers across the nation ar£ asking him repeatedly if there will be enough fuel for harvest, just as last spring they asked if there would be enough for spring planting. He said there will be enough. Last spring, farmers were guaran teed 100 percent of their fuel needs, which upset other people. Then farmers were upset when the special allocation was lifted, he noted. The farmers’ concerns were characteristic of most Americans, he said. The “guts” of the issue is not so much energy as the security of the United States, Bergland said. “I don’t think that’s too dra matic,” he said. “I think it’s honest, and frightening and real. ” With the increasing dependence on imported oil, Bergland called for support of President Carter’s propo sals for fuel conservation and other independent resources of energy. what’s up Thursday FENCING CLUB: Will meet at 7p.m. in Room 261, G.
