LOUIS UPI Voicing little hope that President Nixon would restore confidence in the presidency, former Attorney General Elliot Richardson said Monday he would not have supported Nixon's re-election in 1972 if he knew then what he knows now about Watergate.

Asked if he would have supported Nixon after Watergate, Richardson paused then answered, "The only reason I'm hesitating is that he was running against McGovern. But I guess I'd have to say no." Richardson started to add to his answer before a student audience at Washington University, but said, "Let's just leave it at that." "Given the severe erosion of confidence in the presidency," Richardson said, "Ninon should work to restore confidence in the office." But, Richardson added he had "juit about given up hope" that Nixon would do more than "get by" during the rest of his term EARLY AMERICAN Polished hardwood rack has 10 pegs for hanging clothes, hats, ties, odds and ends. a A i a finish.

President Tries to Gain Political Forces Control WASHINGTON UPI President Nixon is once again trying to gain control over the political forces which threaten to write a tragic chapter to his presidency. Even Nixon's loyal aides now concede the obvious that if the presidency is the in- dispensible engine of government, it has been without an engineer for the past several months. One of the most loyal, Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler, admitted in a recent press briefing what most people had known all along but the White House had persisted in denying: throughout 1973 Nixon and his key advisors had been "overwhelmed" by the Watergate scandal.

Now, Ziegler said, Nixon will let his lawyers deal with the Watergate affair and turn his attention to the more important problems concerning the nation. This is not the first time Nixon has attempted to put Watergate behind him by declaring that it was relatively unimportant beside the other problems and opportunities the nation faces. There have been discernable cycles of President trying to reassert his control over the massive federal bureaucracy and regain his clout with Congress only to be knocked back by some new and damaging disclosure. These have been coupled with matching cycles of withdrawal and brooding "hunkering down" or the "block house syndrome," as it has been variously described by aides. But tor the first time in recent memory there is a feeling now of guarded optimism at the White House.

This apparently stems from a belief that the President cannot sink much and an underlying conviction that he will survive in office. Neither Nixon nor his aides believe the House of EAGLE LODGE DANCE Saturday February 23 9 P.M. To 1:30 A.M. Dance To The Music Of JOKER'S WILD OPEN EVERY SUNDAY Representatives will impeach him and the best head counters on Capital Hill agree with them. The aides willing to talk to reporters do not pretend to know anything more about the Watergate affair than what they read in newspapers and they believe there will be no major new disclosures directly implicating Nixon.

What basically is in store for Nixon now, with the expected criminal indictment shortly of more of his former associates, aides believe, is simply more embarrassment. And Nixon, of course, has had much practice in coping with this over the several months. So now he is trying once again to arrest the drift of his government and give it direction and momentum. He is meeting more frequently with congressmen, hosting an international oil conference and will seek a warm public show of support next week with a trip to Alabama, one of his few recent ventures outside the Washington area. It is the leaderless drift and not the prospect of impeachment which worries those who share Nixon's concern over what historians will write about his administration.

And it is a measure of the state of affairs in the White House that the hope for better days ahead stems at least partially from the belief that inflation, unemployment, the of a recession and long queues at gasoline stations will convince people that there are indeed more important problems that Watergate.

"Even now Nixon could provide the needed but it would require a change of attitude. I don't think it's likely." Richardson said while the impeachment process "should go forward," he was not yet willing (o "make a definite judgment" on whether Nixon should be impeached. "I'm waiting to see whether the evidence shows that the grounds for impeachment are sufficient," he said. "The public interest would not be better served if Nixon resigned," he said.

"The country is in a state of considerable uneasiness and self-doubt," Richardson said. "Our self-confidence is probably lower than at any other lime in our history, and it could be permanently damaging." Richardson said he has not yet decided whether to become a Republican candidate for the presidency in 1976, but has not "excluded" the possibility. "I'll be in a better position a year and a half from now to whether my candidacy make any sense and whether I had a respectable chance. Right now those chances seem pretty remote."
