D.O announces removal of his office from 72 Government St. to 12 Newmnrch Kiltcry. adv CONCORD Four Republican leaders In the state today joined ex-Gov. Hugh Gregg In condemnation of Manchester newspaper publisher William Loeb's tacllcs In the current GOP gubernatorial nomination- campaign.

The four three ex-governors and a former U.S. senator Issued a statement that they "can remain silent no longer" about Loeb's "tactics of innuendo and personal diatribe which distort, the truth and misrepresent the facts" about what they claim Is Gov. Wesley Powell's "dictatorial and ineffective adminis- tralion." Joining In the statement were ex-Govs. Robert O. Blood of Concord, Charles M.

Dale of Portsmouth and Lane Dwinell of Lebanon and ex-Sen. Robert W. Upton of Concord. Loeb's Manchester Union Leader is supporting Powell in (he lalter's campaign for renom- ination against Gregg and Rep. Wayne Crosby of Hillsborotigh.

Loeb's tactics, tire four GOP leaders said, "are all the more shocking and presumptuous" because Loeb "does not live in New Hampshire, does not vote in New Hampshire and does not pay personal taxes in New Hampshire." "This is Ihe man who seeks to divert attention from the failures of Gov. Powell by claiming that a so-called 'Concord Gang 1 Is trying to lead us down the road to polilical catastrophe," they said. "No such 'Gang' exists," they said, and individuals throughout the state are "alarmed at what is happening to integrity In public affairs." The four, in endorsing Gregg's candidacy, said the Loeb-Powell "alliance" pits "friend against friend, group against group, MC- against section and engenders mistrust." -They, said they "are greatly concerned about the irresponst- bilily of thc present admlnisura- lion in he Slate House and of Uw newspaper which seeks to perpetuate it." "We can no longer remain silent," they said. "To do so vould be a disservice to all the citizens of the state, especially those who have looked to us for leadership in Ihe past" Gregg In a television address, Loeb has become a "major" ssue in the current gubernator- al campaign. He said voters on.

Tuesday will be deciding if the 'publisher will continue to control the office of governor in New Hampshire." "Next Tuesday, the Republican voters of New Hampshire will select their candidate for governor. But, by the same vote, hey will be deciding whether William Loeb, the out-of-state of the Manchester Jnion-Leader and the New Hampshire Sunday News, will lo control the office of of New Hampshire," he aid.
