Twrnlv-Five Cents JOHN D. DRIGGS Driggs asked to be candidate in mayor race John D. Driggs, 42-year-old financier and civic leader, has been asked to run for mayor on the Charter Government Committee ticket, according to reliable news sources.

Driggs, executive vice president of Western Savings Loan Association, 'is one of several persons mentioned in recent weeks as possible Charter Government choices. According to Arizona Republic sources, however, the top spot on the Charter ticket is now open to Driggs if he will accept it. Driggs confirmed by telephone yesterday only that he has been contacted by Charter Government spokesmen. "I have talked to some of the Charter Government he said, "but that's all I can say at this time." Charter Government chairman Dick Smith said the CG selection committee has not yet presented its candidate choices to the advisory committee. But he added: "We hope to have a meeting Tuesday, and we may have something then.

I don't know if it would be just the mayor or some recommendations for the council, too." Smith has said repeatedly that Charter Government will not support Mayor Graham for a fourth term in office, but speculation has run high over Charter's chances of recruiting a strong candidate for mayor as long as Graham's intentions are unknown. Driggs could fill the bill. He is a member of a prominent Arizona family widely respected for its civic contributions, business ability and leadership role in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Driggs recently served as chairman of the 1969 Phoenix Growth Committee which formulated and successfully promoted a $173 million municipal bond program. Phoenix voters approved the bond issue by a 2-to-l margin last June 10 in an election that was apparently nullified by a U.S.

Supreme Court decision that voided the city's election procedures.

Two thin lines of soldiers 600 in Belfast and 350 in Londonderry separated warring Roman Catholics and Protestants after five days of arson, brick throwing and sniping.

Police said about 20 gasoline bombs were thrown at pubs and houses last night in Belfast, but there was little damage and quiet returned. Special prayer services were scheduled in British and Northern Irish Catholic churches today. As armored cars rolled into Belfast at nightfall, women smiled happily and one said: "Thank God they're here." Britain had mobilized more troops for Ulster last night and authorities threatened riot leaders with indefinite interment. The British units in Northern Ireland were not considered adequate to cope with the situation. One hundred especially picked men oi the 24th Infantry Brigade were mobilized in Britain to be flown to Ireland over the weekend.

Ulster has domestic autonomy, but foreign affairs and military matters are handled by London. British Prime Minister Harold Wilson planned to cut short his vacation and fly to London for talks with Prime Minister James Chichester-Clark of Northern Ireland. Wilson will hold an emergency cabinet meeting before then. Fighting to save its life, Chichester-Clark's government has invoked emergency powers to intern riot leaders, indefinitely if need bo. The last time Ulster adopted these tactics was during a terror ci-impsiipji by the outlawed Irish Republican Army from 1956 to 1961.

At least 25 persons suspected of supporters of the IRA were being detained by Ulster police for questioning under the Special Powers Act. The death toll in five days of trouble in Ulster rose to eight with the death of a 25-year-old Belfast dock worker wounded by gunfire. More than 500 persons arc known to have been injured, 310 in Belfast alone. The week has been Irt-'wd's worst since the civil war of Although the British troops. firmed with submachine guns and automatic rifles, curbed the violence when I hey moved into Belfast Friday night, their presence did little to lessen inflamed passions.

Throughout, the night there was shooting, arson and. looting although on a reduced scale. Isolated snipers still were operating as housewives set out for liieir Saturday shopping.

More than 300,000 persons wandered about in a sea of mud, sickness and drugs yesterday at hippie-style Woodstock Music and Art Fair, held on a 600-acre farm near this tiny community. Overwhelmed officials have asked Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller to declare the festival site a disaster area. The town is short of food, water and medical supplies.

Thousands more, most of them young, were en route, ignoring pleas by local and state authorities to go home, walking and riding past stalled cars on traffic-clogged highways. A spokesman for Rockefeller, vacationing in Maine, said the governor had made no decision, although complaints were pouring in from residents around the 600-acre dairy farm site of the festival in this Catskill Mountain area north of New York City, Police reported up to 75 arrests, mostly on drug charges, but no large disorders. By last night the general situation was improving a little. The mud was drying, although the forecast was for scattered showers, and three garbage trucks had been imported to help clean the litter. One youth was killed when a tractor rolled over him as he slept by the side of a road, and a girl fell from a scaffolding and broke her back.

A chartered plane brought seven doctors, nurses and other medical personnel from New York City, but many more were needed. Traffic jams still blocked most of the surrounding roads. Even as thousands arrived, however, tens of thousands, perhaps 100,000, according to a policeman, began the weary trek back to their cars, as much as 20 miles away. Despite the crowds, the lack of necessities and pleas from festival sponsors to stay away, the scene was generally peaceful.

MANN Republic Education Writer FLAGSTAFF If teachers of drug abuse are going to "tell it like it is" to their students, they have to hear it like His. For that reason, 40 teachers and educators are now attending a two-week seminar in narcotics education at Northern Arizona University. The seminar began last Monday and will continue through. Friday. And the participants are hearing a lot about how it is.

A few examples: Drug pushers have been arrested at. elementary schools not to mention high schools. in the San Francisco Bay area. Deaths caused by heroin are racing toward an annual record in New York City and city officials report that about one-third of the victims so far this year have been teen-agers. Approximately halt' the murders committed in San Francisco this year have been officially linked, in one way or another, to the sale or use of drugs.

The man telling the teachers is Oliver E. Byrd, doctor of both education and medicine, who is executive head of the health education department in Stanford University's school of education. Most of the participants are from Arizona. About halt' teach in high schools and a quarter in elementary schools. The others are school counselors and administrators.

In addition, three college students, a college mathematics instructor, a graduate nurse and two Flagstaff housewives are enrolled. When the seminar began, the participants developed with Byrd a list of the objectives they want to reach during their two weeks together. Of the 13 objectives, No. 1 is to ac- Continued On Page A-8 Divis Street and by barricades erected by its 15,000 residents, most of them Catholic. Only tradesmen were allowed in.

A few residents left with small children. The menfolk behind the barricades include Republicans to whom the sight of a British uniform normally is anathema. But many were prepared to accept, the soldiers as long as they seemed a guarantee against attack. In Londonderry, 22-year-old Bermi- clette Devlin, member of the British Parliament and a leader in the civil rights movement, spoke with British officers. She said the residents of Bogside, the predominantly Catholic area there, were tfkifl to see the troops, but she reminded I he officers: "Bogside is ours." She extracted from them the right for Bogsiders to police their own area.

The military promised that neither British troops nor Ulster police would enter Bogside. During the day, Chichester-Clark's cabinet heard reports from the police and military.

Continued On A-2 Council must let manager manage, Coop admonishes I5y WALTER MEEK Big, bearish Robert Coop once said of his job as Phoenix city manager that it was the best position of its kind in the country. "It was, and it can be again," Coop said last week before he left office. "But it won't be unless the City Council lets the manager be the manager." And that pretty well sums up Coop's chief concern about the future of the city government he headed from Dec.

14,1964, until last Friday. Part of his professional advice to Phoenicians is this: Stick to the city charter; it works fine. Require the council to set clear policy goals for the city. Let the next manager run the city government and administer the budget, as the charter provides. Otherwise, Coop warned, Phoenix may slide backwards toward a system in which municipal functions are governed by politics instead of professional judgments.

In a parting interview last week the 54-year-old administrator discussed at length his Phoenix tenure, which he termed "the most satisfying years of my life, for me professionally and for my family." He had hoped to stay on as city manager for another four or five years, Coop confided, without any show of bitterness. Referring to his falling out with the council and his forced resignation, Coop added matter-of-factly: "I've been a manager long enough Lo know that the kind of thing that happened to me can always happen and you don't fall apart when it does. But you don't have to like it and 1 didn't like it one bit." Phoenix, he said, lias gained "a nationwide reputation lor good local government." "And we're running a good outfit that responsive to the needs of the community," declared the man who posted signs around City Hall saying "The Public Be Served," and who often wore a maroon blazer that sported a City of Phoenix crest. Coop cited some of the high points of his administration and the items of unfinished city business that he ranks highest in importance. Among the city's priority needs are these, he said: A City Council commitment, rather than mere lip service, to proper planning and zoning enforcement.

"Otherwise," Coop believes, "Phoenix will become just another big city." a A continued attack on the problems of minority groups and the poor, including a housing code and an attempt "to get out of the 19th Century" in concepts of public housing. Increased efforts to meet urban needs with cooperative, area-wide solutions among Valley cities, including a water distribution agency controlled by urban rather than farm interests. And an answer to the competitive tax-revenue dilemma faced by the state, county and cities. But the most pressing need, from Coop's professional point of view, is for a return to the council-manager relationship spelled out in the city charter. It requires the council to set policies and approve the manager's financial plan but otherwise leaves him free of Continued On Page A-24 Russ make overtures to West on entering monetary fund By HOBART ROWEN Copyright 1969 WASHINGTON-The Soviet Union has put out a tentative but unmistakable "feeler" to Western nations on the possibility of joining the International Monetary Fund.

At the same time both Romania and Hungary have renewed a serious interest in joining both the IMF and its international sister organization, the World Bank, the Washington Post learned yesterday. Informed sources stress the vague nature of the Russian bid, made recently through diplomatic channels. For example, it is not clear whether the Russians are interested in the bank as well as the IMF, nor are Russian motives fully clear to Western officials. But officials here are convinced that the Russian feeler on IMF membership Washington Post Co. stems from the recently published announcement that the Ill-member organization will create $9.5 billion in "paper gold" over a three-year period.
