8-Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Fairbanks, Alaska, Monday, March' 12,1973 Columnist opposes Gray confirmation Rasmuson gives donation E. Rasmuson of long pUTM 16 1 by Heurlin, one of Anchorage-banker, civic leader Alaska's best-known artists, will depict the development of the WASHINGTON (AP) Syndicated columnist Jack And says he opposes the nomination of L. Patrick Gray III to be FBI director because "Gray has proved himself to be a political hatchet man for Richard Nixon." Anderson told the Senate Judiciary Committee considering the Gray nomination that he believes it is wrong to put a man in charge of the FBI whose prime interest is pleasing the President. "On more than one occasion, Mr. Gray has proved that his antenna is acutely tuned to the White House wave length," Anderson said.

"This is a luxury that neither the nation, nor in the long run, the White House itself, can afford." Another witness Rep. Edward I Koch, also opposed the confirmation of Gray he- cause of what he called the act- 1 FBI director's "insensitivity to Ihe value of privacy in America today." Koch said for the past few months he has asked the FBI to see the files it maintained on congressmen so that he could read the material kept on himself but has been refused permission. Gray announced last October that he was discontinuing the FBI practice of 22 years of collecting data on congressional candidates. Before testifying, Anderson said he planned to tell the committee that the FBI has investigated persons who have committed no crimes and has pried into the "bedrooms of prominent people for no other purpose than to collect gossip for the files." Anderson, who has been critical of the FBI in his daily column, said: "This is the sort of thing we expected in Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. It is intolerable in the United States of America.

The has gone beyond its jurisdiction beyond its constitutional authority, be- yond what is proper." Gray was excused as a witness Thursday after five days of questioning but is expected to be recalled after public witnesses are heard. In connection with the hearings, Ronald L. Ziegler, White House press secretary, objected Thursday to the committee's release of what he called "raw, unevaluated" material from FBI files. Ziegler refused to specify the FBI material he was referring to. But Gray had turned over to the committee Wednesday records linking House aide Dwight Chapin and Herbert W.

Kalmbaeh, President Nixon's personal lawyer, with Donald Segretti, an alleged political saboteur. Anderson said he planned to give the committee material which he said has been "slipped to us from the (FBI) files on politicians, newsmen, movie stars, football heroes and other prominent Americans." He slid he would offer two files specifically so that committee members could satisfy themselves "whether the FBI has been abusing its powers." Meanwhile, the records were turned over to the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday by Gray. Gray's statement about Herbert W. Kalmbaeh, Nixon's lawyer and fund-raiser, and Dwight Chapin, the presidential appointments secretary, said in part: "Mr. KaJmbach said that in either August or September 1971 be was contacted by Mr.

Dwight Chapin and was informed that Capt. Donald H. Segretti was about to get out of the military service and that be may be of service to the Republican party At Chapin's request, Gray said, Kalmbaeh "did contact aide Donald H. Segretti and agreed that Segretti would be paid 516,000 per year plus expenses, and he paid sgretti somewhere between J30.000 and between Sept. 1, 1971, and March IS, 1972." Segrettt's pay a a a i contributions, Kalmbaeh said.

The acting director told senators also that an FBI check of telephone records showed that, between August 1971 and June 1972, Segretti was in telephone contact with the White House, Chapin's home and the home and office of E.

A a i D.C., office, A A a a the Fairbanks Education Association and the University of Alaska are all serving on the pilot project's steering committee. Through this project, NBA hopes to determine four factors that may influence future programs: is the project feasible, is there sufficient interest, what technical problems will be a what instruction methods are most successful. The ATS-1 satellite that is being used was the first launched bythe National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1966, in its i a Application Technology Satellite program.

Earnhardt is pleased with the program's success so far, although i a problems i have been encountered. Teachers in a few villages have indicated a desire to participate but equipment is inoperative. And occasionally signals have been obscured by static. Content of, and participation in, the seminars has been good, Earnhardt said.

The opening session, a discussion of the open classroom system was conducted by Dr. Robert McClure of the National Education Association's a i office. McClure conducted the program from the Bethesda, site.
