PROVO, Utah (AP) The Man Dad at Age 77 SEATTLE (AP)--In a speech considered "ton controversial" for a national radio broadcast, former Interior 'Secretary Walter nickel said yesterday that more government regulation is needed to meet problems in transportation, environment and urban living. The speech was delivered to the Ripon Society, a liberal Republican Group. In it, he indicated that youth would play a dominant role in reshaping the way the country is run in the near future. "I'll argue until I die that there is not enough government in the areas which are choking the living of life in modern America areas such as transportation, the environment and the urban crisis," 'ticket said.

Earlier, he told newsmen this paragraph was cited by the National Broadcasting Co. as being "too controversial" for airing on its radio network. He said NBC refused to allow a commercial sponsor to purchase time for the speech. NBC Gives Reason An NBC attorney in New York said the speech was rejected because of a policy against selling time for controversial issues. The network, he said, preferred to produce its own controversial programs because it felt such broadcasts would be more balanced.

Bickel said he was calling for "a new breed of leader" as he has since being fired by President Nixon as interior secretary last November. He said he wasn't pointing specifically at those currently in office, but at "government for the past 50 years." "I am really bothered by the men in government who don't remember why they got there," said Hickel.

Hechinger dismissed Wednesday charges against four men accused of plotting to assassinate Mayor Richard J. Daley and the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, bead of Operation Breadbasket. The action came after prosecutor Anthony P.

Corsentino said his office did not have sufficient evidence to prosecute the four, all of Chicago. The defendants, Earl Dillard, 37, Howard Harris, 33, Terry Simons, 38, and Charles Whiteside, 35, had been free on $5,000 bond each. They were arrested on the basis of a report from a police informant who said he heard them plot the murders. State's Atty. Edward V.

Hanrahan refused to comment after the charges were dropped. At the time the four men, all black, were arrested, Hanrahan's office said the alleged plot was designed to foment racial disorders. Students Jailed Several students at Southern Illinois University were among those jailed, Ware said. Ware said the raids and arrests stemmed from four months of undercover investigation by state and federal agents. Included among contraband seized, Ware said, were 1,700 sticks of dynamite, detonating wire and blasting caps, a bazooka, 60 pounds of plastic explosives, submachine guns, quantities of rifles and handguns and large quantities of narcotic drugs of all types.
