MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1970 A I CITIZEN PAGE 33' PLENTY OF CANDIDATES House Democrats Bargain Over New Floor Leader By EDMOND LeBRETON WASHINGTON (AP) In the midst of campaigning for the Nov. 3 election, House Democrats have begun politicking among themselves over a new party floor leader. Aspirants to the leadership post, object of a wide open contest for the first time in 30 years with the retirement of Speaker John W. McCormaek of Massachusetts, are already hunting votes. They will step up the pace when Congress returns Nov.

16. By then, they will know how many and what kinds of Democrats have been elected. A Democratic sweep might shift the existing balance of power within the party and the prospects of various candidates with it. There is no lack of candidates, either or waiting in the wings, for the majority leader post being relinquished by Rep. Carl Albert of Oklahoma.

Albert is unopposed among Democrats for advancement to the speaker's chair. Among the aspirants are Hale Boggs of Louisiana, the present whip or assistant leader, a Southerner with a voting record not- wholly typical of his region; Morris K. Udall of Arizona and James G. O'Hara, both leaders in the liberal Democratic Study Group; Richard Boiling of Missouri, an outspoken critic of present House and party procedures; John E. Moss of California, who also has pushed for changes, and Wayne L.

Hays of Ohio, known to his colleagues as something of a maverick with a sharp tongue. So far, Boggs, has been the most active candidate, at least in the open. Excluding those who will certainly not be in the next Congress because of retirement or primary defeat, there are about 70 Southern Democrats generally cast in the traditional mold and about 60 strongly ideological Southerners. While in the past liberals. This leaves about 100, sometimes called regular Democrats.

Most of them are from urban areas with strong party organizations. Most tend to vote on the liberal side on bread and butter issues. Many belong to the Democratic Study Group but are not particularly active in it. Obviously a leadership candidate cannot win with the support of only one of the three groups. As the least clearly defined of the three, the big-city regular Democrat sector is the indicated ground for a Southern or liberal candidate to go hunting the margin of votes he needs.

It is also a likely source for a compromise candidate in case of a deadlock and some names, such as those of Dan RostenkowsM of Illinois and Edward P. Boland of Massachusetts, have been mentioned. Boggs has undertaken to build a solid base of support among Edward S. Gercke, Builder Churches, Is Dead At 91 Edward Samuel Gercke, 91, builder of Salpointe High School, Regina Clery Seminary, the Benedictine Convent and a number of churches, died Saturday at St. Joseph's Hospital.

He was brother of the late Archbishop Daniel Gercke. Mr. Gercke, who resumed a career in the construction business after coming to Tucson from Philadelphia to retire in 1935, became known as the man who built more churches in Arizona than any other builder. Mr. Gercke was a native of Philadelphia and received his education there.

He was associated with the Northeast Realty Co. there, sen-ing as its president from 1920-1928. During that time the firm built 5,000 homes in Philadelphia. He also was vice president of a savings and loan company and owned a lumber and coal company. Mr.

Gercke first visited Tucson in 1923 for the consecration of his brother as bishop of Tucson. In 1935, Mr. Gercke and Ms wife, the former Myrtle Theresa Powell, whom he had married in 1907, decided to make Tucson their home. They built a house at 2802 E. 6th but Mr.

Gercke found his retirement short-lived. By 1937 the Sisters of St. Joseph persuaded him to undertake a construction, project for them at St. Mary's Hospital. In 1941 he rebuilt the Tucson Public Library after it was gutted by fire and he constructed an addition to the Pioneer Inter- national Hotel.

He was also the builder of Yavapai Hall at the University of Arizona. He built 300 homes in La Reforma project public, housing. He also built the Benedictine Convent on North Country Club Road and the Regina Clery Seminary, Ss. Peter and St. Ambrose, St.

Cyril and Sacred Heart churches, and Salpointe High School. Archbishop Gercke died March 19,1964. Mr. Gercke is survived by his daughter, Mrs. Charles H.

Leslie, five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Rosary will be recited at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow at Ambrose Church. Funeral mass will said at 10 a.m. Wednesday at St.

Ambrose. Burial will follow at Holy Hope Cemetery. NATO Panelists Recommend Flood Control Cooperation VENICE, Italy, (AP) A NATO-sponsored conference of antiflood measures has recommended a program of cooperation among member nations to predict floods, limit them and clean up afterward. The conference, organized by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Committee on Challenges to Modern Society, drew experts from 12 NATO nations. Officials pictured the meeting as charting new directions for the military defense organization.

In its closing session, in a former Renaissance monastery now part of a cultural center on St. George's Island, the conference issued these suggestions: --That immediate and increased attention be given to forecasting water levels in cases of flash floods, river and coastal flooding. --That a NATO system be set up to insure flow of flood prevention information among members, and that members exchange staff experts to work on flood problems. --That permanent procedures be established to provide for NATO cooperation during a flood disaster in a member nation. These would include maximum use of the NATO telecommunications network and loan of flood experts and disaster relief specialists.

About 40 other recommendations were made by discussion groups that met during the three-day conference. These ranged from encouraging universities to sponsor disaster control courses, to the creation of a NATO panel to recommend anti- flood legislation to the parliaments of members. The general conference and the group recommendations now go to NATO headquarters in Brussels for analysis. Those approved by headquarters will go to NATO governments. Those approved by all governments would be woven into NATO operational programs, officials said.

The conference was held in Venice because of this lagoon HAZEL city's history of flood damage from high Adriatic tides. The NATO organization branched out into nonmilitary problems in 1969 when it formed its Committee on Challenges to Modern Society. The meeting was the committee's first on a specific problem. Another on earthquakes is planned for next spring in the United States. Daniel P.

Moynihan, special adviser to President Nixon on urban affairs, praised the con ference recommendations in a speech at the closing session. Moynihan said the antiflood effort showed that society had reached a point where it no longer accepted floods as inevitable natural disasters about which little can be done. "There are limits to what we can do," he cautioned, "and it would be well that we do not exceed them in our expectations. No matter what we learn, it wiE be imperfectly adopted by political systems. "We have spent simply vast sums of money on flood prevention in the United States, and it is my impression that a great deal of it has been wasted not because of individuals but because of the political process." team won't forget you for this, Klotzmeyer-."

Boggs also presents himself to he big-city regular Democrats one who shares their con- erns.

His district includes half New Orleans. In addition to his House leadership duties, he las taken on party work for example, the chairmanship of he 1968 platform committee. His supporters say such appeals as well as personal friendships and help he is giving Democratic candidates have von him substantial support outside the South, even among liberals. The liberal bloc, expected to coalesce behind a single candidate for the showdown, has em- iloyed tactics keyed much more the Nov. 3 election.

Liberal eaders have kept their fences mended but held off specific largaining and planning. They feel the nigh proportion if candidates generally sympa- hetic to their point of view among the Democrats seeking election to Congress for the first time works in their favor. They are prepared to argue that, es- jeciaUy since the top post of speaker is remaining within the n-esent leadership group, liberals have a strong claim to the jecond post, with its day-by-day responsibility for handling legis- ation. Nearly a dozen old-line Democrats already have been eliminated from the new Congress either by their own choice or in mmaries. If these seats remain Democratic, most will be filled by newcomers probably more inclined to the Democratic Study Group point of Anew than incumbents.

If the Democrats in addition win even a modest number of seats now held by Eepublicans, liberal ranks will be further swelled and the uncommitted Democrats might begin to think a bandwagon is rolling with room for them. Sahuarita School Vandalized Special to the, Citizen SAHUARITA Vandals took an estimated in money and tools and caused $5,000 damage to Sahuarita school offices, officials said today. Puna County Sheriff's deputies are investigating the vandalism of early Friday. The vandals gained entry into the safe by knocking a hole into the walk-in safe wall.

is studying a technical report that estimates 45 million as cost of developing approximately 225 million more ons of copper ore discovered Five Killed Traffic On Weekend By The Associated Press Five more persons died in Arizona traffic accidents yesterday, raising the state's 1970 toll to OS, up 12 from a year ago. The Arizona Highway Patrol said two persons were killed in a two-vehicle head-on crash on U.S. 66 west of Peach Springs. The dead were identified as Heide Schlegel, 30, of Philadelphia, and Edgar Engels- drcher, of Ambler, Pa. David Ross Stevens, 23, of Yuma, was killed in a one-car crash at the intersection of State Route 95 and 32nd Street near Yuma.

A Phoenix accident claimed the life of Marion Patterson, 55, fle Nathaniel Davis, 51, of Angeles, was killed in a one- car accident on U.S. 60 west of aloma. adjoining its open pit mine at Bagdad. The report was prepared for David C. Lincoln, president, by Holmes Narver, engineering contractor, Los Angeles.

Bagdad operates an open pit mine about 235 miles northwest if Tucson. The mine's reserves are estimated to last about 22 ears at the present rate of mining, according to W. P. Garrity, assistant to the president. If the company decides to go ahead and start mining the 228 million additional tons, the iiillion cost would be increased by about $25 million for a smelter, Garrity estimated.

He said Bagdad wouldn't build a conventional smoke-producing smelter, but is studying various other processes. The'mine's sulfide ores reduced to concentrates are shipped now to the Hayden smelter of American Smelting Refining Co. Grade of the new ore discovery is said to be about .47 per cent copper, approximately the same quality as copper ore being mined in the Tucson area. The million cost would include construction of a mill to concentrate 24,000 tons of ore per day, Garrity said. Bagdad's board of directors last weekend declared an extra six per cent stock dividend, payable Dec.

14. The company said Judges Get Bulletproof Partitions CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) -Bulletproof partitions between the spectator section and the area occupied by judges and defendants will be installed in two courtrooms at Middlesex Superior Court. Sheriff John Buckley said the move is an outgrowth of the Aug. 7 shooting in San Rafael, where a judge who was taken hostage and three others were killed during an aborted attempt to free three prisoners on trial.

Buckley also said the measure would make it difficult for demonstrators to interfere with courtroom proceedings. The courtrooms with the partitions will be used when trials are considered especially sensitive, he said. Gerald W. Winslow Dies Of Injuries Gerald W. Winslow, 69, of 1450 N.

Oversupply Of Ph.Ds Cited STANFORD, Calif (UPI) A Stanford professor says even though there are more than enough Ph.D.'s now, the trend will be for universities to produce even more doctorates annually by 1980. Lewis B. Mayhew 7 who called his results "horrendous," said 26,000 doctorates were awarded in 1969, adding to an oversupply of potential college teachers. He said Ph.D.'s are now begging for jobs that went begging as short a time ago as 1967.

Mayhew surveyed SOO universities-from 1967 to 1970 to come up with Ms results. Nelson Seeks Starsky Suit Dismissal Special To The Citizen PHOENIX Atty. Gen. Gary K. Nelson has filed a motion in U.S.

District Court here asking that former Assistant Prof. Morris J. Starsky's lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents be dismissed. Oral arguments on the motion are scheduled Nov. 23 before Judge Carl A.

Muecke.

Broadwayl'; SEASON OPENS Symphonic Choir Keeps Overflow Crowd Happy By LYNNETTE McDONALD The University of Arizona Symphonic Choir presentation, given yesterday to an enthusiastic crowd which overflowed into the orchestra pit, fully lived up to the audience's great expectations. The serious, heavy program, which contained only one non- sacred vocal number, was sung with majesty and polish. "The Spirit Also Helpeth Us," a Bach motet for double chorus was lengthy, but kept interesting. In the Randall Thompson double chorus "Amen, Alleluia," the half of the choir which comprised the chorus on stage right captured the more beautiful, unified sound.

-The other chorus occasionally had harshness in the soprano section. Since this was the season's Two Grocery Training Classes Will Open opening the women's sections probably improve in tone and blend as the new comers gain in cohesion with ex perienced symphonic choir members. Already, the teno: and bass sections are amalga mated. The vocal numbers "Te Deum" by Vincent Persichett and "Song of the Open Road" Norman Dello Joio reflected th competent artistry of directo John H. Bloom.

Piano accompanist Paula Fan added greatly to the success the "Te Deum" and the "Song. 1 Susan Walters, who was fea tured in the Rachmaninoff "Pi ano Concerto No. 3," secon movement (Intermezzo), playe magnificently.
