I consider the failure to have a competitive presidential election in Vietnam a serious and fundamental matter," Jackson said. "Should such an election fail to take place, I must reverse my position regarding future U.S. military and economic aid to the South Vietnamese government" Jackson has been a firm and consistent supporter of U.S. military action in Vietnam, including Nixons Viet-namization program.

He Is regarded as a potential contender for the Democratic presi-. dential nomination, although many politicians believe his stand on the war has put him far out of step with the partys direction. f3 1 I stop pretending to be helpless, saying there is nothing more to be done," Jackson said. He said the United States "still has a strong presence and significant influence in Vietnam that should be used to permit the South Vietnamese people a choice in a meaningful presidential election. It should be made clear to President Thieu that the commitment of the United States has been to the people of South Vietnam to give the South Vietnamese people a chance to determine their own future as four presidents from Eisen-hower to Nixon have pledged and not to President Thieu or to any other particular politician.

But he added that Labor Department officials told him the Administration a closed its mind to retroactive pay for all negotiated wage hikes held up by the freeze, and all scheduled wage hikes due later under current contracts.

Burger, attacking court delays, urged judges today to take over the job of pushing notorious" criminal a se through trial. He said delays of five and more years are undermining public confidence in the judicial system and causing anxiety in a society suffering "mass neurosis" because 'of violent crimes. Burger said these cases should not be allowed to take the pace that the lawyers want or that they find tolerable. Instead, he said in his prepared speech to a Conference of federal appeals court judges, serious criminal cases should be singled out and brought to trial within 60 days of indictment. It can be done, he said.

It can be done with complete and total fairness, to both sides. It ought to be done and it is your responsibility and mine to see that it is done. Burger also urged quicker action on appeals in criminal cases. He said he was asking officials of the U.S. Judicial Conference to propose methods of helping administrators to separate spectacular and critical cases from the vast body of cases in the courts.

Rattlesnakes seeking dry ground slithered onto highways. The seasons first hurricane to hit U.S. shores did little damage except to the land.

No severe injuries were reported. Tides whipped by wind gusts of 72 miles an hour flooded beaches, pastures and range-land. The rattlesnakes are beginning to pile up on the roads because thats (he highest ground in most areas, said James Barbour of nearby Bay City, Tex. We saw some that were five to six feet long. A tornado spawned by the storm skipped through the treetops at Texas City during the night but did little damage.

Gales battered shingles from roofs but Fern lacked the real punch of a hurricane. The rain and tides were the most trouble. The WiH3 is whipping the water out of Matagorda Bay across the roads and its raining so bad that you can hardly see where youre going," said Barbour, a Matagorda County reserve deputy sheriff, during a sweep through the coastal area after Fern hit But as far as we can tell, the place looks in pretty good shape. Lightning knocked out street lights at Freeport, Tex. There was flooding in many coastal fishing towns.

But Fern was demoted from a hurricane to a tropical storm shortly after she came ashore. Matagorda, a village of population at the ipouth of the 1 a River -seven miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico, took the brunt of Ferns power before dawn. Residents and tourists who had known of the hurricane offshore for two days thought it would strike Galveston to the northeast. Most folks were asleep. We didnt know anything about it, said William Carmichael, who owns a Matagorda motel.

But we didnt have any trouble. The power and. everything else is still on.

Even if the present ordinance is amended to allow payments, its disbursement would not be allowed during the presidential wage freeze, said Goggin. But patrolman Hubert Talley, vice president of the Oakland Police Officers Association, said today the federal wage-price council at San Francisco has verbally told the association that cash overtime is not subject to the freeze and can be paid. Talley said he expects a formal letter to that effect from the council in a day or two.

Reading has assured us he will direct Goggin to prepare an ordinance amendment once we receive that letter, Talley said. Talley also said -the mayor had assumed Goggin had previously prepared an amendment making cash overtime a continuing benefit, not limited to any one year. He said: If compensating time is permitted under the ordinance, why cant cash overtime be paid? Last year, police overtime was budgeted at $300,000 some $200,000 of it for regular overtime and the additional $100,000 for court appearances by off-duty officers. The same amount was budgeted this year, too, and therefore wasnt even discussed in earlier negotiating sessions ei police association and city officials. Last year, when the $300,000 ran out, compensating time off was given in lieu of cash.

The report defined a racially imbalanced school only as one whose student body composition- varies significantly from that of other schools in the same district.
