Ford has more pardon he tells group Oro Valley voters elect two who favor disbanding SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1974 By A I A Citizen Stair Writer Unofficial election results have stacked the Oro Valley governing body with councilmen wanting to disband the fledgling town, but a recount of yesterday's close vote is being made this weekend. A preliminary tally of the election to fill the remaining three seats on the five-member council showed that two more anti-incorporation advocates will join two others with the same view who were elected last month. There was a tie for the remaining council seat, with Lauren Khudc, who wants Oro Valley to remain a town, and Paul Sherick, a member of the say By Wire Services WASHINGTON President Ford told a group of Republican gubernatorial candidates at the White House that he has not yet revealed all the reasons for his decision to pardon former President Nixon. Following a meeting yesterday in the Oval Office, Tennessee Gov.

Wtnfield Dunn said Ford told the group "he might be able to explain, in the not loo distant future," about the pardon issue. Dunn said Ford did not elaborate on his remarks, but others indicated that Ford said that he was "privy to some information that he might make public but also might never make public." Ford's pardon of Nixon has produced a stream of requests for pardons for everyone from a former federal judge to all the inmates at Kansas State Prison. And a few judges, although they lack the power of pardon, have freed inmates or made sentences lighter after noting Ford's action. "What I'm about to do is unusual, but that seems the vogue these days," said Los Angeles Municipal Judge Gilbert Alston. "If a man who almost wrecked the country can be pardoned, this defeu- New fund provides for Nixon WASHINGTON Barred from using its own money to provide services for Richard M.

Nixon, the General Services A i i a i will dip into a special fund appropriated for President Ford, a GSA spokesman says. Government records show that the Ford administration authorized spending up to $450,000 for the former President a week before the new President asked Congress to appropriate funds for the transition. The GSA committed about $6,000 before Comptroller General Elmer R. Sisals ruled it had no authority to do so. Meanwhile, President Ford's request for $850,000 to help Nixon through the transition from president to private citizen ran into stiff opposition in Congress.

Members of the Senate and House appropriations subcommittees studying the request demanded to know why Nixon needed more than twice what former President Lyndon B. Johnson received during a comparable period of transition. It was disclosed yesterday that there are an additional eight to 17 government em- ployes still in Nixon's service. They include the former President's personal valet and maid, a military aide, three drivers, a medical corpsman, one or more GSA secretaries and possibly some Coast Guard personnel, all working at the Nixon office and estate San Clemente, Calif. to get tiant can be released proper treatment." With that, Alston ordered released from jail to the custody of his psychiatrist John Gabron, a 27-year-old Vietnam veteran who took three hostages at riflcpoiitt during what was described as "combat flashback." Before Gabron could be released, however, a higher court nullified Alston's order.

In New York City, U.S. District Court Judge Marvin E. Frankel, with references to Nixon's pardon, reduced a 20- day prison sentence to a $1,000 fine in the case of Craig E. Bnuin, who had pleaded guilty to a tax evasion count. In Lansing, Gov.

Robert B. Docking was asked by two inmates to parrfon all 62ti state prison inmates "in order that justice may be served in the proper manner." In Chicago, a spokeswoman for Citizens for Otto Kerner says 2,500 signatures have been gathered on petitions calling for a pardon for the former governor and federal judge. Doctors leg new clot SAN I i Calif. I Richard Nixon's leg ailment has worsened and he is suffering from physical -strain and fatigue," according to his doctors. The ex-president has refused to go into a hospital remaining at his oceanside estate, (Jasa Pacifica.

The first new medical i a i on Nixon's phlebitis condition was released yesterday by Dr. Walter Tkach Nixon's personal physician who flew here from Washington. "There is a new veirums clot in the former President's upper left leg," Tkach said. "The leg is swollen, and painful. The clot from the earlier phlebitis, which is still present, causes the former President periodic pain." Nixon returned to his tightly guarded compound with Mrs Nixon late Thursday after a five-day stay at the equally secluded Palm Desert estate of Walter Annenberg, U.S Ambassador to Great Britain.

Sources said Nixon remained uncomfortable and restless but the new inclination in his leg was reported sliehtlv improved. Tkach was joined in his medical examination of Nixon bv Dr. John Lundgren, a Long Beach, internist, who examined the former President in Palm Springs Tuesday. "I have found the former President to be suffering from severe physical strain and physical fatigue," Tkach said, "but he is mentally alert and has been working in his office'or at home each day." The physician said "serious consideration" had been given to putting Nixon in a hospital, bill it was ruled out "based on former President Nixon's wishes." He said Nixon will continue to receive medication and will be under doctors' care with a weekJv evaluation of his condition made by both Lundgren and Tkach. Nixon's physical and emotional well being was believed to have played a major part in President Ford's decision to grant Nixon immunity from any possible prosecution.

First hand information about the former President has been nearly impossible to obtain from inside his tightly guarded compound overlooking the Pacific. The only recent reports have come from his two sons-in- law, David Eisenhower and Edward Cox, who gave a number of interviews, and from Nixon's doctors. Former White House Pi-ess Secretary Ron Ziegler has refused to issue any statements. Nixon's arrival back at Casa Pacifica was confirmed by Ann Greer, Ziegler's secrelary. She said Ziegler has not issued any statements because he was a "transition officer not a press officer.

The home lost most of its roof and much brickwork, and was badly flooded by torrential rains before the plastic covering could be set in place. disincorporation move, each receiving 259 votes.

But the unofficial results showed that only 11 votes separate the candidate with the most votes from the one with the least. There were six candidates on the ballot yesterday. The recount was directed because of the closeness of the vote and the tie, which town officials were not sure how to resolve. Apparently elected yesterday were Robert E. Hanson, with 265 votes, and Kenneth W.

Holford, with 2M votes. Both endorse a move to disin- corporate the square mile town north of Tucson. their victories are certified they will join Virgil Brandon and Mrs. Dorothy Montgomery as councilman wanting to disband the town that was incorporated last spring after a court battle lasting several years. The council, however, has no authority to disband the town.

The elected council is to take office Sept. 26, replacing a five-member body appointed by the Board of Supervisors when the Oro Valley was incorporated last spring. The appointed body included Brandon and Mrs. Montgomery representing persons against incorporation and E. S.

Engle and James D. Kreigh, who represent residents wanting town status. Engle, with 256 votes and Kreigh with 254 votes, apparently lost in the election yesterday. The fifth appointed council member is Holford, the town's current mayor, who apparently won in yesterday's election. Initially, he described himself as neutral on the incorporation issue.

Now he says he favors disincorporation because he feels a majority of residents do not want Oro Valley to remain a town. A total of 519 persons voted yesterday, while MB were eligible to vote. In last month's election, 519 persons also went to the poll. Brandon, an appointed councilman elected last month, said that until the incorporation issue is resolved the town council would maintain a holding action trying to spend as little money as possible. "At the end of September," Brandon said, "the town will get a bill for 112,000 from the county for services.

We'll be lucky if we can raise a third of that." The town now has only SI ,000 in a bank, he said. Revenues thus far have been limited to $350 from building permits and $3,000 from various revenue sharing programs, he said. Holford criticized campaign tactics of candidates favoring town status, saying they falsely claimed he and Tucson officials had hatched a plan to annex Oro Valley to the city. He charged that the claim was a "scare tactic" and that city officials assured him there was no plan for. Tucson to annex Oro Valley, largely because it would be too costly for the city to provide services to the sparsely populated area.

Holford also said lie would attempt to keep town spending to a minimum. For new job Murphy may quit supervisor post (jrom Page 1) also would mean an increase in money for Lena, the owner of a liquor store. As a state senator he earns $6.000. The board earlier this year llad considered appointing Lena as county assessor, but it was learned he was ineligible until his Senate term expired. Stephen E.

Emerine was named to the assesssor's post vacated by A.E. "Jack" Bade. To qualified as a supervisor, Lena wouid have to drop out of his re-election race. He then would be eligible for appointment after Dec. 31, when his present legislative term expires.

Lena previously had expressed an interest in the assessor's job because it would allow him to remain in Tucson and better handle family commitments. County Manager Kenneth S. Scharman, for whom Murphy would be working if the switch occurs, earns more than $30.000 annually. The supervisors minus Murphy met for approximately two hours Aug. 30 to discuss the possibility of naming Murphy as deputy manager.

Murphy was then called into the meeting and discussed the situation with the other supervisors. Murphy cited his interest in administrative and management procedures as his mam reason for wanting the job, which originally was included in the 1973-7-4 fiscal budget and funded for half a year, but not filled. In the present county fiscal budget it again was funded for half a year, which means the past normally would be filled in January. Funds could be transferred, however, should the supervisors and Murphy deckle to accelerate the switchover. Joyner said today, "I know a I'm about to say will shock some of my Republican friends, but unless something would appear of which I am not aware, Jim is without a doubt my first choice." The only dissemion on the board to the appointment might come from Asta, Joyner said.

"Ron has some reservations concerning the procedure, but 1 don't think anyone objects to Jim's qualifications for the job." Asta said, "My basic reservation is that I think we should follow normal personnel procedure even though this particular job does not fall under the new merit system. "I think Scharman should recommend a list of three or four candidates and we should pick the best qualified," Asta said. "I have no doubt that Jim is qualified, 1 just think we should not make an exception to our accepted procedure." Asta added that Lena should not automatically be considered for the sweated seat. "In the past we have asked the Democratic Central Committee for its recommendations. 1 think we should do it in this case, too." Discussing the situation that would arise if the change occurs, with Murphy who now us one of Scharman's bosses becoming an assist a to Scharman, Asta said: "1 don't see any real problem with that they're both big enough men to handle that." Asta said one major benefit of Murphy being deputy county attorney would be that he would be totally familiar with the county operation and would be in a good position to "ramrod the projects that wore included in the county's bond issue."

WASHINGTON The Federal Energy Administration says a loophole in a government oil price regulations at the height of the energy crisis may have allowed several major oil firms to collect an estimated $300 million in unjustified price increases. An investigation is underway involving eight or 10 of the nation's largest refineries, Robert Montgomery', the agency's general counsel, said yesterday. U.N. facing issue I NATIONS, (AP) For the first time in more than 20 years, the Palestine issue is on the prospective agenda of the General Assembly, which begins its 29th session Tuesday. The formal Arab request was placed before Secretary- General Kurt Waklheim on Friday night by Lebanon, in behalf of 20 Arab nations and 22 other nonaligned and Communist countries.

Israel Ambassador Yosef Tekoah promptly denounced initiative as "a setback to the cause of peace in the Middle East." Lebanese Ambassador Edouard Ghorra, chairman of the Arab group, said a concrete resolution had not yet been framed. But he predicted that the assembly would uphold the "right of self-determination" for Palestinians displaced by the creation of Israel in 1948. He refused to name the firms, bit it was known they included Mobil and Pliillips Petroleum Corp. PEA Administrator John C. Sawhill wrote Sen.

Henry M. Jackson, saying it appears on the basis of refinery audits that some oil firms were involved in "double recovery" of cost increases and that the overcharge to consumers exceeded flOO million. He said an additional million may have been added to certain refiners' bank costs. These are legally allowable costs which have not yet been passed through to the consumer, but could be legally passed along in the future. The FEA investigation Involves a regulation that was in effect from Feb.

1 through May 31, 1973. Some oil firms apparently interpreted the rule to mean that they could recover double their" actual cost increases The agency also is looking into possible conflict of by persons involved in writing regulations. The loophole came in a provision allowing refiners to increase product prices just enough to pass along increases in the cost of the crude oil they were refining. Oil producers were required during the Arab oil embargo to share favorable supplies of crude oil with refiners whose supplies were inadequate, but the regulations allowed them to recover the cost of this crude from those refiners. So large companies that both produced and refined crude were allowed to first collect cost hikes from other refiners they sold oil to and then from customers who bought their own refined products.

Treasury Secretary and former energy czar William E. Simon said yesterday in Phoenix that he doesn't remember ever hearing about, the obscure loophole. The loophole was quietly inserted into the rules last January while Simon headed the nation's energy program and knowledgeable sources had asserted Thursday that it was known about "at the highest levels." But Simon said in press conference last night: "I never heard of this so- called double dipping, at least I don't remember it."
