Former Gov. Walter Peterson,

Howard Baker, has been anything

plained it is too early to narrow the
Republican field to two candidates.
Bush and Reagan also have agreed
%) take part in the League of Women
gjVoters’ presidential forum Wednes
day in Manchester, when five other
GOP candidates also will participate.
One of the five, Sen. Robert Dole
decided Tuesday against entering
the presidential primary in Kansas,
f his home state. He passed up the
1 _ _ s’ filing deadline for getting his name

presidential running mate in 1976,
S I! has fallen from a high of about 7 per-
E cent to around 2 percent in most

ORLANDO, Fla. — Republican
presidential hopeful John Connally
said Tuesday he’d give the Demo
crats the White House for the next 16
years — if the the Republicans can
control Congress.
He complained the Democrat-
controlled Congress has all the pow
er to “legislate, create and appropri
ate — all the president can do is
articulate. If I could do it. I’d give
them the White House for the next
16 years, if they’d give us the Con
gress.”
Connally, speaking at a GOP fun
draiser, also blamed Congress for the
country’s weakened military capabi
lities, deterioration of the dollar and
the lack of an energy policy.
The former Texas governor said,
despite Sen. Edward Kennedy’s
poor start, Kennedy should not be
counted out of the Democratic race.
And he predicted an eventual end to
President Carter’s campaign
strategy of not campaigning.
“Look, one of these days, the hos
tages are going to be out of Tehran
and the president is going to have to
come home and talk about jobs, talk
about the rate of inflation. His for
tunes could turn around just as fast
they went up,” Connally said.
Reminded his Florida support is
waning, Connally said, “You have
ups and downs in the political arena,
and I think as soon as the campaign
starts up again in Florida, why, we
will be right back where we were.”
Connally said he still plans to de
vote substantial time and money to
winning Florida’s March 11 primary.
He said, however, that his cam
paign will not die if he loses any one
of the Southern primaries.
"We hype everything up, as if
each state was the crucial, critical
state you have to carry,” he said. “As
a matter of fact, I think the person
who gets nominated might not carry
any state — might run second or
third all during the campaign, ” Con
nally said.
“That might well be the best posi
tion to be in when you get to Detroit
(site of the GOP National Conven
tion),” he said. “So when you ask me,
‘Do I have to carry it?’ Certainly
not.”

Dole also issued a statement
Wednesday urging all voters in Sun
day’s Puerto Rican GOP primary to
support Baker. Dole explained that
although his name will appear on the
ballot, his campaign plans “have not
encompassed an active effort in this
primary.”
“He is a proven leader in the Con
gress and the nation,” Dole said of
Baker. “He is a man of his word who
delivers what he promises. I urge all
Puerto Rican voters to support Ho
ward Baker.”
Dole’s Senate seat is at stake this
year, but the filing deadline for that
race is not until June 20, so he has
time to continue his presidential
quest for several months before he
must choose between the two.
He said if he does well in primaries
between now and April 1 and he re
mains in the Republican race, he is
confident his absence from the Kan
sas ballot would not prevent his
nomination.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, mean
while, in a speech at the John F.
Kennedy center at Harvard Univer
sity, made his harshest speech yet
about President Carter, accusing
him of posturing as “the high priest
of patriotism,” and warning that pre
vious presidents “have discovered to
their regret that hiding in the bushes
only left them impaled on the thorns
of Rose Garden strategy.”

United Press International
NASHUA, N.H. — Sen. Edward
Kennedy Wednesday suggested that
the U.S. hostages in Iran could be
I released to a third country prior to
the proposed U.N. investigation of
the deposed shah.
* Campaigning for votes in the Feb.
26 New Hampshire Democratic
presidential primary, Kennedy told
reporters that the hostages could be
' released to the United States once
any commission begins its investiga-
/ tion.
“I think the most important prop-
' osal would be the establishment of a
’ commission made up of disting
uished men and women that had a
; widely accepted reputation of con
cern for human rights and liberties,”
the Massachusetts Democrat said.
“Once the investigators began
their deliberations” the hostages
could be “returned to the United
States,” he said.
Aides to the senator said Kennedy
explained the third country proposal
in a Senate floor speech last week.
However, Kennedy said he did
not have a particular third country in
mind.
“There are many countries in the
world that I am sure would be willing
to offer their good offices for such a
function,” he said. “I have no specific
one in mind, but I don’t think it
would be difficult to find.”
