United Press International
WASHINGTON — Did Presi
dent Carter blink in the latest
Cuban crisis? John Connally thinks
so.
Did he back down from the Rus
sians? Sen. Larry Pressler, R-S.D.,
believes it.
Did he do about all he should,
calmly and firmly? His supporters in
the Senate debate over arms limits
are convinced of it.
Those were the varied reactions
Monday night from congressional
leaders and Carter’s potential cam
paign rivals, when Carter an
nounced several actions to coun
teract the recently disclosed pres
ence of a Russian combat brigade in
Cuba.
The president said the Russians
troops do not merit starting another
Cold War. But he said he is landing
more Marines at the Guantanamo
base, boosting surveillance, making
sure Cuban-based troops leave
other Western Hemisphere coun
tries alone, and planning to help
Caribbean nations resist com
munism.
Connally, a Republican presiden
tial candidate, said Carter “failed to
decisively draw the line on Soviet-
Cuban military adventurism.” The
United States wound up “blinking
this time in a Cuban crisis,” Con
nally said.
Pressler, who recently announced
for president, said, “I feel the presi
dent backed down and accepted the
status quo completely tonight,
which a week ago he said he would
not do.”
Senate Democratic Leader
Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., said, “The
President’s response was reasoned,
but firm, and it represents the right
course in this situation.”
Rep. John Anderson, R-Ill., a
presidential hopeful and liberal Re
publican, said “The one element I
found disappointing was that he
(Carter) dismissed the presence of
Soviet troops in Cuba as simply
another in a series of matters on
which we differ with the Soviets.”
Sen. John Tower of Texas, rank
ing Republican on the Senate
Armed Services Committee, said
Carter did little to show the world
he means business.
Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., said,
“The president tonight has not
changed the status quo as he had
promised he would do. The Soviet
troops remain and all we have is
vague promises concerning their
status.”
Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho,
who made the Cuban matter an
issue of his own re-election cam
paign by linking it to the SALT
treaty’s chances in the Senate, said
Soviet assurances that its troops are
not a threat are “insufficient.”
“The Soviet assurances are wel
come,” Church, Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee chairman, said.
But he added, “If the SALT II treaty
is not to be rejected by the Senate,
something more than Russian rep
resentations will be necessary.”
Assistant Senate Democratic
leader Alan Cranston of California
said, “I support the course of action
proposed by the president. It is rea
sonable and restrained.”

Do you leave your stereo alone to
play America’s Top 40 to an empty
room, or keep your apartment
lighted up like a roman candle be
cause you’ll “just be gone an hour?”
If you answered no to either of
these questions, the time has come
for you to stand and be recognized
— you are a bonafide Watts
Watcher. Mary Jo Powell, of the
Texas A&M University Office of
Public Information and member of
the University’s Special Energy
Management Committee, defines
Watts Watchers as Aggies who know
that saving energy matters at Texas
A&M.
Powell said a contest sponsored
by the committee has been im
plemented to recognize these
energy savers. The contest is di
vided into two parts.
The first requirement is the sub
mitting of energy conservation ideas
to the committee. Entries should
include the entrant’s name, address
and telephone number, along with a
brief description of the energy sav
ing idea.
The second part is designed to
recognize the people of Texas A&M
who do their best to conserve
energy. Those making the nomina
tions should include the person’s
name, the reason for making the
nomination and the “Watts Watcher
Watcher’s” name and phone
number. Entries are to be sent to
Watts Watchers, in care of the Of
fice of Public Information, 229 Reed
McDonald building. Members of
the Special Energy Committee will
serve as judges for both parts of the
contest, Powell said.
Watts Watcher Awards will be
given each month of this semester.
Powell said they will be token
awards, such as concert tickets or
dinners, and that there will be no
limit on the number of possible
awards to be presented each month.
