PACE 2, THE TIMES HERALD SECTION A Sunday, July 2, 1972 Mitchell Bows To Martha; Resigns Post gjj THE OLD 'kg. Mrs. Mitchell reportedly said that after she was manhandled she "just couldn't take it any more" and she would leave her husband unless he quit the campaign committee. "I was a patriot until I got assassinated," she said. "What country can I go to?" Mitchell's letter to Nixoii said: "Your words of friendship and understanding when we met today meant more to me than I can possibly convey in this letter.

"I have long believed and often said that nothing Is more important to the future of our country than your re-election as President. I have looked forward eagerly to devoting all my time and energy to that result. I have found, however, that I can no longer do so on a full-time basis and still meet the one obligation which must come first: the happiness and JULY 3-9 Corn's knee high by the 4th of July Pick blueberries now Cap'n Kidd deported July 6, 1699 Last quarter of the Moon July 3 Salvation Army founded July 9." 1865 Average length of days for week, 15 hours, 12 minutes Tragic Hartford circus fire July 7, 3944 Independence Day July 4 Alewives return to the sea Trees stop growing for the year now Never make two bites at a cherry.

She claimed that a person who slept this way was safe from lightning, if and when it struck. Lightning did strike her house once and the bolt fan right through the place, missing the old lady, clean. She said, "I told you but I have wondered if the light for the White House will be taken over by his present assistant, William E. Timmons, press secretary Ronald Ziegler said.

Mrs. Mitchell was perhaps the best-known of the Nixon Cabinet wives because of her frequent phone calls to newsmen to present her often controversial views on issues and personalities. When Mitchell left the attorney generalship on March 1, his wife made clear her dissatisfaction with the move. This discontent was climaxed in her statements of last weekend. Neither of the Mitchells was available for comment Saturday.

Mrs. Mitchell was quoted in an interview with a New York Daily News reporter last Sunday night that she had been manhandled by security guards provided by the Nixon re-election campaign committee and she would leave her husband unless he quit the committee. She was quoted as saying that politics was "nothing but a cops and robbers game" and she knew "dirty things" about it. She reportedly said, in Rye, that she had fled Newport Beach, after a guard ripped a telephone from her villa bedroom wall and several guards threw her on a bed and "stuck a needle in my behind." A committee spokesman said later that she never had more than one guard assigned to her. Mrs.

Mitchell had telephoned a wire service reporter in Washington, D.C., after those reported incidents and this call was the basis for the first publication of reports of her ultimatum. In the Rye interview, Mrs. Mitchell was described as pointing to bandages on her left hand and saying that a physician had stitched up cuts suffered when she was "beaten up." She displayed bruises on her arm and said she had others on her thighs. "It was a horrible experience," she said. "Can you believe that a man can walk into your bedroom, take over and pull the phone out of the wall." WASHINGTON (AP) Apparently bowing to an ultimatum telephoned to the world by his irrepessible wife, John N.

Mitchell resigned Saturday as director of President Nixon's re-election campaign. The Committee for the Reelection of the President announced the former attorney general was stepping down, less than a week after Martha Mitchell told reporters that she was leaving him until he got out of politics. She made known her acute discontent last Sunday and Monday from the Westchester Country Club at Rye, N.Y. Mitchell joined her there Monday and they returned to Washington in midweek, apparently reconciled. But apparently the reconciliation was on Mrs.

Mitchell's terms because the announcement said Mitchell "has resigned as campaign director in order to devote more time to his wife and family." In his letter to President Nixon advising him of the resignation, Mitchell wrote of his regret at leaving the post in which he shaped a victory for Nixon in 1968 and said: "I have found, however, that I can no longer run the campaign on a full-time basis and still meet the one obligation which must come first: the happiness a nd welfare of my wife and daughter." In his letter accepting Mitchell's withdrawal, the President noted that a politician's wife "must not only share the disappointments and brickbats but must accept the frequent absence of a husband and father. I am well aware that this has been particularly true of the Mitchell family Francis L. Dale, chairman of the Committee for the Reelection of the President, announced that Mitchell will be succeeded as campaign director by Clark MacGregor, a former congressman from Minnesota and currently Nixon's chief of congressional liaison. Mitchell lunched with Nixon Friday to inform the President of his decision at that time, a White House spokesman said.

When you came to Washington you made a most substantial sacrifice, personal and However, in my 26 years of political life, I have often noted that the greater sacrifice is usually the wife's, since she must not only share the dis-appointments and the brickbats but must accept the frequent absence of a husband and father. I am well aware that this has been particularly true of the Mitchell family and I am most appreciative of the sacrifice Martha and you have both made in the service of the country.

MacGregor Replaces Mitchell MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (AP) Clark MacGregor, appointed Saturday to replace John N. Mitchell as directbr of President Nixon's campaign for re-election, is a 10-year veteran of Congress who ran unsuccessfully for the Senate against Hubert H. Humphrey in 1970. A 1948 graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School, MacGregor was described by an associate as "highly a perfectionista rather intense guy." He was first elected to Congress in 1960 from Minnesota's 3rd District and was appointed counsel to Nixon for congressional relations following the 1970 general election.

While in Congress, MacGregor served on the House Judiciary Committee, which has the responsibility for all legislation dealing with human rights and responsibilities, criminal law and constitutional amendments. He also served as a U.S. representative to the Intergovernmental Committee on European Migration, traveling to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Germany, Poland, Austria, Greece, Czechoslovakia, Israel, Vietnam and Africa on special assignments. David Krogseng, Minnesota 1 Republican chairman who worked for MacGregor for six. years, said, "Clark is a rather intense guy.

I'm not sure he ever totally relaxes except when he skis or when he is with his family." MacGregor, 50, and his wife, Barbara, have three daughtersSusan, Laurie and Eleanor The former U.S. representative is an avid swimmer and was an NCAA letterman in swimming at Dartmouth College. He also plays tennis, enjoys reading and "golfs once in a while," Krogseng said. "I think he'll be an excellent campaign manager," Krogseng said. "He was one of the first members of Congress in 1967 to come out for Mr.

Nixon." "His appointment is a total surprise, but I think he's going to do a fantastic job," said Krogseng who was MacGregor's administrative assistant and campaign manager. welfare of my wife and daughter. They have patiently put up with my long absences for some four years and the moment has come when I must devote more time to them "As I said today, I shall continue to work for your re-election and I shall always be grateful for your unfailing friendship and confidence." Nixon's reply said: "I thoroughly understand and appreciate the compelling Carter, talking to newsmen later, said if the loyalists settled for anything less than equal representation they would have thrown away everything they have gained in their long struggle. Denied The insurgent Chicago delegation was awarded 59 Cook County convention seats Friday night by the Credentials Committee, which held that Daley's Democratic organization had violated party reform rules in putting its slate together. The challengers are expecting Daley to fight the committee ruling on the convention floor, but so far there has been no word from the embattled Chicago mayor.

At the moment the Daley forces are pursuing their fight in the courts. Besides taking on the challengers in the Cook County courts they are expected to go into federal court in Washington Monday with an attack on the party rules covering delegate selection. A leader of the insurgent movement, Chicago Alderman William Singer, said at a Washington news conference he expected the challengers to survive all court and convention battles and to be seated at Miami Beach. Singer said he thinks the Credentials Committee action had stripped Daley of the last vestiges of political power that he once wielded in the Democratic party outside Chicago. Mississippi Regulars Refused Dem Seating Waller offered the loyalists 40 per cent of the Mississippi delegation and 40 per cent of the positions on state and county Democratic committees.

But Henry and Carter held out for 50 per cent and the compromise failed.

The committee voted unanimously to seat the delegation of loyalist Democrats headed by Aaron Henry, which was also given Mississippi's convention seats in 1968. Gov.

William L. Waller of Mississippi made a personal appearance before the committee in an effort to regain admission to the national party for the regular Mississippi Democrats. "This is not the party of 1968," said Waller, who was elected last year. "We are a new breed in Mississippi. We beat the establishment.

We are an honest, fair and progressive party." Waller's efforts to broaden the Democratic party in Mississippi were praised by delegates opposing the seating of his regular Democrats, but they said he has been unable to make much headway in liberalizing the regular party organization. Charles Morgan representing the loyalists, said the regular party, which holds every top elective office in the state, has refused to make any concessions to the new reform rules of the national Democratic party. "The fact we've come this far that Gov. Waller is here, that they want to go to the convention, shows that what you did in 1968 has taken hold in Mississippi," Morgan said. "But they have not come far enough." In private negotiations with Henry and Mississippi delegate Hodding Carter Jr.

Trooper John Fonger, of the St. Clair Post, was treated at Port Huron Hospital shortly after for a superficial stab wound in his back. He was released before midnight.

Troopers arrested Grant H. Spencer, 27, Detroit, and Eddie Lee Curry, 27, of 2619 Manuel Street, in connection with the incident. They were lodged in the St. Clair County Jail. Spencer was booked on a Rain is forecast today for parts of the midwest and Florida.

Warm weather is expected from Texas to the northeast and in California. Cooler temperatures are expected in portions of the midwest. WASHINGTON (AP) Supreme Court Justice William H. Rehnquist denied Saturday a petition by the successful challengers to Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley's Democratic Convention delegation to throw out a Chicago court action that would prevent the challengers from being seated in Miami Beach.

In turning down the petition, Rehnquist noted that the Supreme Court is in recess until October and therefore would have no chance to review the judgment unless a special session was called. "I simply do not believe that it is the same type of case which has caused the court to convene in special session on previous occasions," Rehnquist said in his opinion. The action meant that the challenged delegates will go back to state court and fight the decision at the state level. Meanwhile, a bomb threat interrupted a hearing of the Democratic Convention Credentials Committee, forcing members to call an early recess for dinner. The threat turned out to be a prank, police said.

shipyards to build 16 new merchant ships, including the largest van-type freighters and tankers ever built in this country. Shipyards on the East and West Coasts got the contracts which administration officials said will mean 36,000 jobs at shipyards and supply firms and 800 jobs on the ships over the next three years. The President said it is part of his program "designed to restore our merchant fleet to a vigorous competitive position on the high seas, and to restore employment and profit in cur shipping and shipbuilding industries at home." He met in his oval office with shipbuilder and shipowner representatives, union and government officials to hail the contracts which are the largest peacetime shipbuilding awards since a government-subsidy program was started in 1936. A model of the tanker, three of which are to be built under this contract, was displayed for the President on the Cabinet Room table. The five contracts were signed just before a Friday midnight deadline that would have reduced the government subsidy rate from 43 to 41 per cent.

Soviet sources said Spassky planned to stay away from the chess board Saturday and relax. They said he spent most of Friday experimenting at the board with Yefim Geller, his second and principal technical adviser.

Spassky was said by one friend to be "somewhat nervous and upset" as the match approached but this was described es normal pregame jitters. Spassky has had the opportunity of familiarizing himself with his surroundings.
