Scott Cleared In Senate By TOM RAUM Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) --Senate i i Leader Hugh Scott says he found it "most gratifying" that the Senate Ethics Committee dropped its i i i i link i alleged illegal Gulf Oil Corp. contributions. Thus, a i a it appears unlikely that the full details of Scott's involvement in the Gulf money controversy will ever be made public. The 76-year-old Pennsylvanian, who decided not to seek re-election this year after 16 years in the House and 17 more in the Senate, said Thursday that the ethics panel had conducted a "thorough and objective" review of the matter. In a closed-door meeting Wednesday, the panel voted 5 to 1 against pursing allegations a Scott received up to $10,000 annually from 1960 to 1973 from Gulf's former chief Washington lobbyist, Claude Wild.

Although several com- mittee members and staff aides confirmed the vote, the committee made no official announcement of the move and committee leaders declined to discuss it publicly. Scott, however, issued a statement taking at least some of the credit for the move. "I initiated the committee's action by voluntarily submitting a written report to the committee," his statement said. "I supplemented this with a personal statement of the facts, as I had offered to do voluntarily when I submitted my written statement." Neither Scott nor his staff discuss the a further nor makecopies of that report available to the public. Scott's link to Gulf funds was revealed last year when a Gulf attorney said in a sworn statement that during his internal investigation of Gulf's political slush fund, he had been told by Wild that Scott received $10,000 a year in a funds for his personal use for about 13 years.

It is attached to a $56.6 billion appropriations bill for the departments of labor and health education and welfare and may face a veto because the appropriations bill is $4 billion more than President Ford asked for. The abortion amendment was agreed to Wednesday by HotiseSenate conferees trying to come up with a compromise between the original House bill a would have banned all federal funds for abortions and the Senate i a had no limiting provisions.

The amendment permits a abortions when they are considered medical necessities by physicians. Such abortions are not precluded when a woman's life is endangered by disease. The amendment prohibits federal payment for abortions "as a method of family planning or for emotional or social convenience." Rep. Silvio Conte, who had drafted the abortion amendment, urged his House colleagues to adopt it quickly so that Congress would have time to try and override any presidential veto before the lawmakers adjourn Oct. 2.

A steady rain fell overnight across the Atlanticcoast states between the mountains and the ocean, causing flash flood watches this morning for the Catskill a i of New York. Showers and thundershowers reached from the lower Great Lakes and middle Ohio valley to cover most of New York, southern New England and northern Virginia. Scattered showers and thundershowers ranged across portions of the central and southern plains and extreme southern Florida.

Rain, with isolated thundershowers, covered parts of the Rockies and i a i region, as well. Skies were cloudy to partly cloudy all across the nation. The northeast was cloudy from the Carolinas northeast to the Great Lakes and east of that line to the Atlantic. Clouds and some fog covered much of the a and plains, and fog was develop- ingin the northern plains. Most of the Pacific coast was well as parts of the northern Rockies and the eastern portion of the northern inter-mountain region.

Temperatures ranged from 37 at Duluth, to 84 at the Key West, naval air station.

Scott has declined to make a detailed pubic response to this.

Instead, he has said that he never knowingly received any corporate funds from Gulf and that while he did accept some money from Wild, he did not know at the rime it came from corporate funds and that he gave the money to other GOP senators. Wild has refused to confirm or deny his own reported role. It is a felony for a politician to knowingly accept corporate funds for a political Scott reportedly told the Ethics Committee he received about $45,000 in contributions from Wild. "Corroboration was sought and received," Scott's statement continued. "The clearance by the committee is most gratifying." The Ethics Committee vote, in which Sen.

Edward Brooke, was reportedly the only dissenter, also appears to let off the hook the half dozen or so other senators to whom Scott allegedly gave the contributions. The Scott-Gulf matter was the topic of a grand jury investigation earlier this year. The i a declined any public comment on that investigation, although there have been no signs that it has been concluded. Obituaries JUDGE RESIGNS CORRALES (AP) Municipal Judge J.
