He does not expect Ford to campaign for him, in Arizona, although "he might, and he would certainly be welcome." He does not favor prosecution of Nixon on charges arising from Water- gate. "He has already suffered mighti-' y. The country would best be served Lee's comments add fuel to arguments previously presenied by some county supervisors, who insist Berger already is overmanned. Supervisor Bob Stark, also a lawyer, previously called Berger's policies "absurd." He said Berger "already has too many people because the public defender's office does the same job on $1 million less a year." Berger is on vacation and was unavailable for comment, but his chief deputy, Sid Mitchell, disputed Lee's facts and arguments.

He said a staff study recently showed the public defender's office handling approximately 50 per cent of felony trials, not 69 per cent Mitchell added that the "no; plea bargaining" policy in effect for several years resulted in almost no significant increase in the number of trials, until recently. "We think the public defenders may deliberately be asking their clients to plead not guilty to defeat the purpose of no plea bargaining," he said. Mitchell said Berger feels the inflexible policy is in the "interest of justice and the public" and that judges and juries should make such decisions on individual cases. "We feel plea bargaining contributes to a system of greater leniency," said Mitchell. Continued from Page B-l fice already has the advantage regarding lawyers handling felony cases vs.

public defenders available to defend them, and that more deputy county attorneys would create a greater disparity. According to Lee, Berger has approximately 49 attorneys assigned to handle felonies, compared to 24 public defenders who last year were assigned to handle 69 per cent of felonies filed by Berger's office. "If the county attorney were to employ five new attorneys, the public defender would have to employ three to maintain the present lopsided ratio and 13 or 14 more to achieve proportionate parity." More about by getting Watergate completely behind us. I think the nation would be better served if no action is taken against President Nixon. That is not true for the others involved in Watergate they were not president." He has no ambition to rise to cabinet level nor to campaign for vice president or president in 1976.

"I'm doing what I want to do represent the people of Arizona," he said. "There is just one more step I want to take and that is to become Speaker of the House." He thinks Ford chose Rockefeller for vice president over Sen. Barry Goldwater, because Rockefeller appeals to Republicans who are left of center. "I think Ford feels he (Ford) can appeal to those in the center and to the right of center, and that Rockefeller would broaden the base of the party." He believes Ford will seek a full term of his own in 1976, but he does not know if Rockefeller will be on the ticket as a vice-presidential candidate. "I have no Insight into that," he said.

Rep. Morris K. Udall, Is "doing what he should do" by testing the presidential waters for a possible 1976 candidacy. "The Democrats are poverty stricken for obvious presidential candidates." i Troubled firm More livened up The lackluster race for attorney general heated up Monday. It all started when the unopposed Republican incumbent, Warner Lee, was interviewed on a Tucson radio station Sunday.

He said the two lawyers seeking the Democratic nomination, Bruce Babbitt and Sid Rosen, have been criticizing him for inaction when he's only been in the office six weeks. That's no more fair, Lee said, than if he would say that Babbitt was responsible for a Federal Trade Commission action earlier against Babbitt Brothers Trading Co. of Flagstaff. (The firm, in which Babbitt has 2 per cent of the stock, signed a consent decree four weeks ago. The company was accused of buying Indian merchandise and cashing checks with credit slips good only for items in that store, and selling pawned items before the expiration period.) Lee added, "I don't have any reason to think Babbitt has done anything illegal." about Dr.

PRESTON "HAP" R. SALTERBERG "ROGER" Continued from Page B-l areas but would prefer Florence to Gila Bend. The Florence site could not be chosen without approval of the full legislature next winter, since the 1973 appropriation of $5.1 million was specifically limited to Maricopa County. Florence is in Pinal County. Gila Bend is in Maricopa.

Chandler residents had firmly opposed the latest possible site. One petition from citizens said, "We would not feel free to move about our homes without the constant fear that one of the prisoners may be lurking around the corner. Our children would not be free to play outdoors or enjoy the sports of horseback riding or cycling in area. Those of us with daughters would be in fear of them becoming raped andor molested and families taken as hostages." About 150 Chandler-area residents in the Senate gallery applauded when the committee passed a motion by Rep. Sam McConnell, R-Williams, that Corrections Director John Moran "give no further consideration to the Chandler site." Moran said later about the decision, "I understand it.

I accept it. We will look at Gila Bend again with an open mind. We will study it again, in great depth." Runyan indicated he still favors placing the facility in the Phoenix or Tucson Metropolitan areas. But Barr said, "The public Isn't ready to accept a facility of this kind close by." And King added, "I'm not sure this problem can be solved in 30 days." Tenney said he wants the subcommittee to report back within 30 days. He added, "The chair feels this has been kicked around long enough." FREE gTIIT safSSTr esse imr r'A PLANNING SERVICE ON R0CM ADDITIONS en UL.

REMODELING tfimuTN RFMnnn inr Rosen seized on Lee's comments. In a speech Monday to a Greater Democrats of Tucson luncheon, he accused Babbitt of hypocrisy in pledging action against consumer fraud. If Bruce Babbitt Is concerned about Arizona consumers, why didn't he step into his own family's business to stop the illegal activities of Babbitt Brothers Trading Company? "Even if he sells his holdings after the election, he is simply ignoring the public interest by his failure to move against blatant acts of consumer fraud," Rosen said, adding: "We must end hypocrisy in government. The Arizona attorney general must be a person who can command the public's trust." Babbitt called a press conference for today to answer Rosen. He told' a reporter Monday that both Lee and Rosen were guilty, of "a cheap political shot." He said the facts about the FTC action against Babbitt Brothers, started by his grandfather, were known for months but two weeks before the Sept.

10 primary election, the candidates are starting to sling mud because he is leading. "I left Flagstaff when I left high school," Babbitt said. "I've never been in the management of the trading company, and have no voice in its business. "They seem to be saying I'm guilty by association because I was given 2 per cent of the stock (worth $136,000) by my father," Babbitt added.

Proper Environmental Planning (PEP) was formed to oppose the reviews, and PEP officials said the review would severely damage the construction industry in the state. In other parts of the nation, opposition developed against the review and other proposals for limiting traffic, including a surcharge on parking spaces, which was proposed for the Los Angeles area. As a result, Congress, this past summer, included in the Energy Supply and Environmental Coordination Act a provision that EPA prepare a feasibility and economic-impact study on parking regulations, Wondra said the study was being prepared.

EPA added the reviews to the state's plan for reducing emissions from vehicles. Annual vehicle emissions inspections will be mandatory in Maricopa and Pima counties starting Jan. 1, 1976, state law.

The inspections, EPA decided, would reduce pollutants enough to bring quality within federal standards, and the reviews were added as a possible method of reducing automobile usage.
