Udall Won't Participate If Wallace Nominated St. Louis (AP) Rep.

Morris K. Udall has threatened to sit out the 1976 presidential campaign if Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace is nominated to the Democratic ticket. "If the party of George McGovern and John Kennedy nominates George Wallace, then it's not my party any more," the Arizonan said Friday at the Young Democrats of America national convention.

"You can't pussyfoot around with this Gov. Wallace business. George Wallace won't be on my ticket and I won't be on his," said Udall, who is a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. He urged other Democrats to eliminate Wallace from further presidential consideration and charged that Wallace is using his political muscle to dictate the direction of the party's philosophy. Sen.

Lloyd Bentsen, also challenged Wallace's Democratic role, saying, "I can tell you flatly George Wallace is not about to be the nominee of this party." Gibbons "Waiting in Wings" If Hoffa Were Elected St. Louis (AP Harold J. Gibbons, exiled Teamsters International official, says he was waiting in the wings with James H. Hoffa for another chance to lead the union when the former Teamsters president disappeared last month. "If Jimmy were to make it again (as Teamsters International president) I would have been Jimmy's executive assistant," Gibbons said here Friday.

Gibbons, 65, once held enough power in the union to consider running for president of the union himself, but was ousted from his job as head of the Central Conference of Teamsters in 1972. Gibbons, who remains international second vice president, says his ouster stemmed from his support of Sen. George S. McGovern, D-S. in the 1972 presidential campaign.

Gibbons says he is baffled by Hoffa's disappearance, although he discounts kidnapping.

Illinois Scene Sterling Man Wins $1,000 Week for Life Ames, Iowa (AP) The Iowa soybean crop, expected to revive after the driest July in years, apparently is going the way of the corn crop downhill.

Safety Problem Could Alter Nuclear Power Plants Charlottesville, Va. (AP) The U.S Nuclear Regulatory Commission, says a potential safety problem in the design of two atomic power units nearing completion in central Virginia could result in design changes of nuclear power plants throughout the country. The Charlottesville Daily Progress said in today's editions it has learned that the NRC plans to ask design information from 46 utilities that have received permits to build nuclear plants cooled by pressurized water and from 50 utilities with construction permits under review. The 29 pressurized water reactors now licensed to operate will be allowed to continue commercial operation until the NRC completes a review of the safety and design questions raised by the Virginia Electric Power North Anna plant. The review is expected to take about a year.

Robert Boyd, acting director of the NRC's licensing division, said the design and safety question raised by the Vepco plant is "worth looking into." "I wouldn't blow the whistle because of it," he said. "But there is a safety issue that needs to be resolved." IF YOU DO NOT I YOUR PAPER BY 5:30 P.M.
