That was never more evident than during a White House news briefing at noon Friday Earlier that morning, President Carter had met for nearly two hours with Panamanian leader Gen Omar Tornjos to discuss ways in which to "clarify" some misperceptions about the proposed Panama Canal treaties. While White House Press Secretary Jody' Powell listened to the briefing being piped into his office, his Rex Granum, was out in the press room an onslaught of questions as to why the administration was notable to say what the Carter Torrijos meeting had accomplished As the questioning got more and more test, a note was slipped to Granum The note "from Powell instructed Granum to announce that another briefing would be scheduled later in the day to try to deal more forthrightly with results of the morning meeting "The press was acting like' a bunch of feist dogs for good reason Jimmy Carter and his aides set ratification of the Panama Canal treaties up as a great test of presidential lead The Oval Office Don Campbell TODAY WMAIMIM BurMH ership fn the Western Hemisphere, and now they have no idea whether they'll ever get two thirds of the US Senate to go along with Jhem. Very little has gone according tothescnpt so far The television extravaganza in early "September to promote Carter's signing of the treaties may have done a lot to boost the egos of the South American leaders who were invited, but it apparently failed to Impress many people In this country, and may in fact have served to inflame the smoldering opposition The great "education program" with which the administration was supposed to turn American opinion around on the canal hasn't worked, or If it has, it's not reflected in public opinion polls or in the mail that Is pouring into the White House and to congressional offices on Capitol Hill And then there have been the live grenades tossed around Washington by Sen.

Robert Dole, Kan Classified documents showing that our own State Department disagrees with the Panamanians over what the treaties mean, allegations that Torrijos' family has been involved in drug trafficking Jody Powell was sitting in his office Friday morning reflecting on all this, and if he was about to panic, it didn't show, He was candid enough to concede that the administration is gambling on its ability to "convince enough of the undecided senators thai their concerns about the treaties are unfounded The situation is made more delicate, he added, because of a concern here about making the Torrijbs'government vulnerable to left wing forces The White House is obviously sensitive to' the Dole tactics, but Powell takes a pragmatic'' 'position is that the signing of the treaty is in the cold hationalinterest and Is not affected by introducing extraneous matters. All this business is a reason to. let the issue shake down before the President makes hls statement. They'll (opponents) run out, of things, eventually," That may also be a naive view, given the capacity of treaty foes to create mischief, well as legitimate Trident Test This Morning All systems are "go" for today's 8am launch of a S. Navy Trident experimental missile, a Air Force spokesman said Sunday That liftoff was originally scheduled for 9 a Tuesday, but was changed when more favorable weather conditions were predicted for today, officials said.

To take place from Complex 25C at Canaveral Air Force Station, the launch is the eighth in a series of 15 20 land tests for the Navy's latest experimental ballistic missile The next launch that of two experimental International Sun Earth Explorer satellites aboard A. Delta rocket Is set for Friday, although NASA officials said (hat date Is tentaF tive pending a decision by a aboard reviewing the failure of the $42 million Delta 134 on Sept. 13. The launch originally was scheduled for but was postponed so that workers could replace part of the vehicle's guld ance system. A committee of rocket specialists investigating the Sept 13 failure is scheduled to report today on the cause of the explosion which destroyed a European space satellite.
