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

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!
FP’f ftifther iilfofmation, contact the Professor of Military
Science at your school.

United Press International
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Police say they were forced by law to give
a Ku Klux Klan member a copy of the route of an anti-Klan inarch at
which five protesters were shot and killed by Klansmen and Nazis.
Capt. James Hilliard said the Klansman demanded and received a
copy of the march permit last Thursday after the city attorney’s office
ruled that the permit was a public document.

AN .djvSfckJjl. 1
United Press International
BOSTON — Researchers Thurs
day reported the development of a
new test that can determine in adv
ance whether expensive breathing
treatment is needed when a child is
born prematurely in high-risk pre
gnancies.
Premature infants with Respira
tory Disease Syndrome have under
developed lungs that collapse and
fail to reinflate when they breathe.
The disease, the leading cause of

Drs. John Torday, Edward E.
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

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.

Mr. Stanley Kaplan
will speak on standardized testing (MCAT & DAT)
tain chemical in the amniotic
that surrounds the developing baby,
Torday said, doctors can determine
if the baby is likely to develop RDS
and treat it before birth.
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.
