Texas College Station Brown enters ’80 presidential race United Press International WASHINGTON — California Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. announced Thursday his candidacy for president and proposed major changes in the oil industry, includ ing federal control over all pet roleum imports. Brown said he would try to force major oil companies to appoint con sumer representatives to their cor porate boards. The 41-year-old Californian also | said he would ask Congress to create NOW YOU CAN EARN OVER $6,500 WITH ARMY ROTC. a national energy corporation that would funnel all foreign oil into the United States. Brown’s formal announcement at the National Press Club followed the declaration of candidacy by Sen. Ed ward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., by one day. Kennedy leads both Brown and Carter in public opinion polls. In his 3Yz minute speech Brown repeated his constant theme that he is a candidate who can cope with a changing world and that neither Car ter nor Kennedy is attuned to the needs of the future. “We are a sleeping giant that needs to wake up,” he said. “The times call for discipline and for vi sion. Because I see neither, I offer myself as a candidate for the pres idency.” Brown’s energy theme appeared aimed at New England, scene of the earliest primaries, where he im mediately flew to begin his cam paign. Under Brown’s plan, major domestic firms would get their oil from the national corporation and — as a condition of accepting that oil — they would be required to accept public representatives to sit on those boards. “I propose that no oil company be permitted to import foreign oil ex cept through an agency of the United States government,” Brown said. “As a condition of bidding on this oil, the largest of the multi-national oil companies would be required to agree to public participation on their board of directors. ” Brown, a Yale Law School gradu ate, was asked about the constitu tionality of his plan for public partici pation in oil company leadership. He said the government could take such a step under its power to handle fore ign affairs. He said the percentage of public representation on petroleum’s cor porate boards could be negotiated later. Brown also discussed his opposi tion to an increase in the defense budget and deployment of the mobile MX missle, which is en visioned by the Pentagon as a way of combating Soviet missies. The solution of the Middle East problems lies in negotiations be tween Egypt and Israel and, aspre* dent, “I would not try to pushlsa-R around,’’Brown said. Brown said he would try to fijli iflaHon * iaxA/nr^nincr mp Fpnpril' inflation by "jawboning” the Feder ; Reserve Board and other regu agencies to “choke off the mm productive extension of credit. Brown, whose strategy is keyg toward showing well in the Np Hampshire primary next Februan said the nation is entering an a; where the “economic and polity doctrines that propelled us to siit success after World War II are sin; ly inadequate for the world we no inhabit.” com- Before you graduate from college! Because now, you can o bine service in the Army Reserve or National Guard with Army ROTC. It’s called the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP). And, depending on your academic year when you enter, SMP can help you earn over $6,500. Here’s how it works. If you qualify and a vacancy is available, you become a member of an Army Reserve or National Guard unit as an officer trainee and, at the same time, enroll in the Army ROTC advanced course at your college. Your Reserve or Guard membership will pay you at the minimum level of Sergeant E-5, and you’ll receive $100 a month during the regular school year as an Armv ROTC advanced course cadet. At the end of your second year of advanced ROTC, you’ll be commissioned a second lieutenant and, assuming there’s a vacancy, serve with a Guard or Reserve unit while you complete the require ments for your college degree. Upon graduation, you may con tinue service with a Guard or Reserve unit while pursuing your civilian career, or you can, if you prefer, compete for active duty as an Army officer. So if you’d like to earn over $6,500 while you’re still in college, get into SMP. Because SMP can help you do it. You can bank on it!

Premature infants with Respira tory Disease Syndrome have under developed lungs that collapse and fail to reinflate when they breathe.

Larson and Linda Carson, reporting in the N ew England J oumal of Medi cine, developed the test as partofa joint program at the Harvard Medic al School and the Boston Hospitalfoi Women. Torday said if the mother’s health is endangered by a pregnancy, physicians may elect to deliver the baby early. But it is important to know in advance if the infant has RDS so it can be treated. He said the test was inexpensive and since it would prevent a large number of infants from havings^- 01 the march, were killed and nine other people wounded Saturday in a |St u( l e J 1 t G gun battle that erupted when a caravan of vehicles carrying Klan and I vik, right, American Nazi members drove to the march’s starting point. Handbills distributed before the demonstration listed a false start ing point for the march, but the parade permit gave the actual site—a public housing project where the clash occurred. Police officials did not explain until Wednesday how the group knew where to go. The gun battle between the communists and the Klansmen and Nazis erupted after the caravan of eight to 10 cars, carrying about 30 men, drove past the starting point and the two sides began baiting each other, police said. A group of men got out of the last two vehicles in the procession, pulled weapons and began firing at the crowd. Some of the communist marchers returned the gunfire, police said. Minutes after the shoot-out began, police arrested 12 men in a van and charged them with murder and conspiracy to murder. Murder and conspiracy charges were filed against another man still being sought by authorities.

The test, which is 85 percent accu rate, measures the amount of “pul monary surfactant" in the baby, ^ soapy-like substance that allows the lungs to expand and contract, he said. “When the infant blows air off—if there is no surfactant — the airways will collapse,” Torday said. “If theft is surfactant there the lungs will re main expanded to a certain extent. If RDS is detected, he said, doc tors can treat the pregnant mother with a drug that accelerates lung de velopment in the fetus. [vels.
