DAILY RECORD, Vernon, Texas, June 30,1974 RATHER THAN IMPEACHMENT Judiciary Panel Often Seems To Be Osbsessed With Dates WASHINGTON (AP) At times it seems the House Judiciary Committee is drafting a new calendar rather than deciding whether there are grounds for impeaching President Nixon. The members become obsessed with dates and deadlines, and the business of whether there is a case for impeachment is hardly mentioned. At other times, the appear- Not until mid-July, when the ance of fairness and bipartisan- committee begins debate on ship seem to be the dominant proposed articles of impeach- lssues. Last week, time and fairness and partisanship nearly overshadowed the fact that the impeachment inquiry had reached the end of its crucial initial phase the factual presentations by both the impeachment staff and by President defense attorney.

Peron Takes Over As Argentine President BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) Vice President Isabel Peron took over as acting president Saturday so that her husband could continue medical treatment for a serious ailment. Peron, elected president in September in a dramatic return after 18 exile, was ordered to take while doctors treated what they Caught Young Kennedy Gets In Bomb Scare CURRAGH, Ireland (AP) Edward Kennedy Jr. left a Dublin hospital bed for the Irish Sweepstakes Saturday, but got caught in a bomb scare and saw very little horse racing. The only son of Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts was reported much when he left St.

hospital in Dublin. He had been resting there since becoming ill Thursday, apparently from side effects from treatments for bone cancer. right leg was amputated last November to halt the spread of the disease. The 12-year-old son rejoined five vacationing classmates from St. school in Washington, D.C., and their teacher, Rick Van Nuys, for lunch in a glass-enclosed restaurant high over the grandstand at one of the most famous horse races.

They watched the first race on television. Just before the second race, the Irish Sweeps Derby, the track announced a bomb scare and asked that the grandstand be cleared. party then left the track. No bomb was found, and the crowd was let back in within 15 minutes. It was not immediately clear whether Kennedy returned to the hospital in Dublin or continued with his schoolfriends to Galway in the West of Ireland, where he is due to meet his father and other family members who are coming Monday from the United States.

ment, will the real effect of these peripheral issues probably be felt. But last week they loomed large and they made it a difficult week, indeed, for Peter W. Rodino the silver-haired Democrat from Newark, N.J., with a fondness for opera and pin-striped suits, and who, like it or not, has been thrust into the history books in this, his first year as a committee chairman. Time was the issue that touched it off. Editorial cartoonists have portrayed the impeachment inquiry as a snail or a sloth, creeping toward a decision, its pace characterized by its threeAiays-a-week schedule.

The pressure was on to speed things up. It matter that the mass of information being presented to the members justified meeting only three days each week. Or that the White House also seemed to be trying to stretch the process over the longest possible period. The pressure was on. It was time to set deadlines and stick to them.

To Rodino, the greatest potential for delay lay in the next phase of the inquiry when witnesses would be called. That begins on Tuesday and the chairman was determined witnesses would be used only to fill gaps in the material presented so far. He did not want to replay the Senate Watergate committee hearings with five days of testimony by John W. Dean III and five more by John D. Ehrlichman.

But the 17 Republicans wanted to be sure presidential atto- ney James D. St. Clair could have all the witnesses he needed to present the case. And suddenly the timetable became entangled with partisanship. St.

Clair wanted six witnesses. Rodino wanted a tight schedule that would complete testimony by all witnesses by July 12. And he was suspicious that St. Clair was playing for time. The result was the five plus five formula: five wit- Former Vernon resident Bill nesses on a firm list, five oth- Richie, a well-known Wichita ers on a backup list, to be Falls television newsman and called if their testimony really executive, died unexpectedly were needed and if time per- about 3 p.m.

The 78-year-old president transfered the mandate during a cabinet meeting at his official mansion in the Buenos Aires suburbs. He remains as president but his wife has his full powers until he takes them back.

Isabel, an attractive 43-yar- old former dancer, with no former political experience, ran the country under a similar mandate for two days when Peron took brief trips to neighboring Uruguay and Paraguay. She announced the step over television, with her face an emotionless mask, her chestnut hair swept up in an elegant bouffant. have assumed this extraordinary responsibility under the upright inspiration of General Peron.

Peron to assume the mandate, but there was little immediate public reaction. Method To Replace Heart Goal of Teams NEW YORK (AP) The surgeons open a or chest and take out a sick heart. They replace it with a mechanical heart, perhaps ordered by number and model from the hospital stockroom to suit the particular needs. It will pump life-sustaining blood for years without failure. This is a tantalizing goal of American and Soviet medical research teams who have joined forces in an agreement, announced Friday, seeking to develop artificial hearts for humans.

The stage is set. Small calves, similar in size to humans, have already been kept alive for several days with artificial hearts placed in the chest and powered electrically from the outside. have arrived at the stage of feasibility to reach for totally compatible artificial hearts, although a great deal more work is says Dr. Lowell T. Harmison, an authority on artificial heart research who says, is a formidable Artificial hearts would have at least two advantages over human heart transplantation.

There would be no waiting for a suitable donor whose blood type matched. There would be no problems of foreign tissue rejection. The new Soviet-American agreement the op- portinity to exchange information in different laboratories, with different approaches. It will enhance the quality of available knowledge, and the timeliness to further the Dr. Harmison said.

New Trial Eyed In Smuggling NEW ORLEANS (AP) Absence of two witnesses resulted in a mistrial of a gigantic weapons smuggling case this weekend, and prosecutors were pondering Saturday whether they can get a new trial. On trial were Richmond C. Harper, millionaire Eagle Pass rancher and banker and several others. The government at first said only the weapons were to be smuggled to a Latin American country, then seemingly reluctantly admitted they believed the munitions were headed for Cuba.

The case began with the confiscation of a large amount of explosives and detonators at the Shreveport, airport. A second Texan was charged but will be tried separately because of illness. He is Marion Hagler, also of Eagle Pass. U.S. District Court Judge Herbert Christenberry said the absence of two principals prevented the defendants from receiving a fair trial.

The missing are Mexicans Jaime Fernandez, named a coconspirator but not indicted, and Francisco Flores, who was indicted. Sawhill Raps Oil Slowdown CAIRO, W.Va. (AP) Federal Energy Administrator John C. Sawhill criticized major international oil companies Saturday for what he said may be a deliberate slowdown in allocating crude oil within the industry. He said the federal program, which requires major oil companies to sell crude oil to minor companies who do not have adequate supplies, be threatened by what appears to be a pattern of continued foot dragging and a calculated re- sistence to program compliance by the major oil Sawhill said his agency had received reports indicating that some large companies which were required to sell oil to smaller refiners slowed down their negotiations of In addition, several major companies have announced plans to sue the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) over the program, creating a climate of uncertainty and potential chaos in which the ability of FEA to carry out its statutory mandate is called into he said.

Postal Service is and guilty of false economy, Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, said Saturday. Bentsen told a convention of the Texas Postal Workers Union that Congress might have to make some changes in the service. Postal workers are doing a good job, he said, years of carefully cultivated good will are seriously damaged when a sorting machine chews up a pension check, or sends a contract to the wrong city or a dinner invitation to the wrong dedication and efficiency and concern of individual workers count for little when the system is fouled he said. While reorganization of the mail service as a self-sustaining government corporation was promoted as a step toward economy and efficiency, would appear that there has been an abundance of economy and a scarcity of efficiency.

Much of the economy is Bentsen said. A recent study showed the postal service is spending $1 billion to build parcel sorting facilities promote slower and more damage-prone service than that offered by the privately owned United Parcel Service, which is the major competitor in the he said.
