"Each (government) intervention causes more undesirable side effects and usually completely different result than that intended." YO(jp P. Paris FREEDOM NEWSPAPER A Watchful Newspaper 105TH YEAR COLORADO MONDAY DECEMBER 13 1976 15c DAILY 35c SUNDAY TWO 34 PAGES Blumenthal Probable Treasury Chief ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) W. Michael Blumenthal, a special ist in international economics who served in the Johnson and Kennedy administrations, is President-elect choice to be treasury secretary, sources close to Carter say. Carter also was said to be to name Jane Cahill Pfeiffer, a former vice president of IBM as commerce secretary.

The President-elect is holding further meetings at the governor mansion here today with other Cabinet prospects. He said he will announce some Cabinet-level appointments at a news conference at 12:30 p.m. MST Tuesday. Another Cabinet post which Carter is believed ready to fill is that of defense secretary. Harold Brown, a Pentagon offi- cial in the Johnson administration, has been rumored as the top contender for that post.

Carter previously announced he was naming Cyrus Vance, a Wall Street lawyer, to be secretary of state, and Thcwas B. Lance, an Atlanta banker to be his budget director. Blumenthal, 50, is chairman of Bendix the diversified manufacturer based near Detroit. He was born in Germany and came to the United States in 1947 becoming a U.S. citizen five years later.

He was deputy assistant secretary of state for economic affairs in the Kennedy administration. He also was deputy special representative for trade negotiations with the rank of ambassador under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. He headed the Kennedy round of trade negotiations in Geneva from 1963 to 1967. Blumenthal holes a doctorate in economics from Princeton University. He had figured in early speculation about Cabinet, with the Defense Department or the treasury mentioned as possible posts.

Mrs. Pfeiffer, 48, reported to be the leading prospect for the commerce post, was a White House fellow in 1966 and is a trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation. Carter flew to Atlanta Sunday evening where he conferred with Vice President-elect Walter Mondale, who is participating in the interviews today, and chief talent scout Hamilton Jordan. One of those meeting this expects to name his entire Cab- Embry commissioner of housing and community development. He is reportedly a prospect to be secretary of housing and urban development.

Carter spokesman Rex Granum said the President-elect still expects to name his entire Cabinet by the end of next week. At least one Carter intimate, Atlanta lawyer Charles Kirbo, predicts that the elect will give his Cabinet members lot of to carry out their duties. going to give them a lot of rope. If they don't perform, going to change Kirbo said. Carter somebody bold, competent, inde- oendent and frank with him.

Kirbo also said that reputed stubbornness stood him in good stead when he was governor of Georgia. was one of the early critics of him being stubborn.

But I found out that a time to be Kirbo said. As governor. Carter resisted legislative compromises until eleventh when he could work out little better with the legislators, Kirbo related. a tough trader, real tough. And one thing to be a shock to some people about money.

going to be careful how he goes about spending Kirbo predicted. Discussing style, he said: continue to smile, and continue to be gentle with people. But when he gets in a fight and something he wants passed, stand there in the pocket and slug it out with Kirbo, who acknowledged that he was a conservative influence on Carter, said he would continue to advise Carter, but would not serve in the administration. I felt like it was a matter of the national interest, I would come. But Jimmy has grown out of my area of competence.

Kidnaped Spaniard Is 'Calm' MADRID, Spain (AP) Spanish industrialist and royal advisor Antonio Maria Oriol, kidnaped by radical leftists, has asked his family to calm and hopeful because only what God wants will police sources today. The sources said Oriol, 63. whose ransom is the release of 15 political prisoners, made the appeal in a letter to his family delivered Sunday. They said the family had confirmed the handwriting was that of Oriol, who is president of Council of State and a member of King Juan Council of the Realm. Police officially reported Oriol was believed held by an extreme leftist organization called The First of October Anti-Fascist Resistance Group, known as GRAPPO.

They reached that conclusion after checking two notes delivered to the Madrid newspaper El Pais nine hours after Oriol was forced from his Madrid office at gunpoint Saturday. The Madrid newspaper maciones also reported it had received a telephone call Saturday from a young man identifying himself as a GRAPPO member and claiming responsibility for the kidnaping. The hunt for Oriol was concentrated in the Spanish capital: as the country prepared for national referendum Wednesday on political reform. GRAPPO called the referendum a In the first note GRAPPO demanded that 15 prisoners, all serving long sentences for political teiTorism, be flown to freedom in Algeria in exchange for release. The second note was the one directed to family in his handwriting and given to EL Pais on Sunday, the sources said.

The note later was shown to the family. Police checked border crossing points in Portugal and France but focused the search in the Madrid area where the gunmen who abducted Oriol abandoned their getaway car. The was ringed with roadblocks.

Bergman and officer Edward Bachman start shift Ministers Cruising Streets As tight Hand the Law 1976 Mr Naught Syndicate ine 83 By JOE NAVARRO GT Stafi Writer Ministers in the city are doing much more than just delivering their sermons on Sunday mornings. Some are riding shotgun in a police cruiser. In an effort to further improve relationships between the citizens and police officers, a Corps has been ex- tablished by the ministers and the Colorado Springs Police Department. a program will enable ministers and police officers to better understand their roles in the said Division Chief William F. Flanagan.

The program is under the Community Services Division. Ten ministers are expected to work this month and approximately 40 will be on duty soon. The ministers will stay in the patrol cars unless they are requested by officers to become involved in a situation. In what circumstances would a minister be helpful when a policeman would not be? Picture this scene: A member of a family has committed suicide and the police arrive and begin investigating. The policeman conducting the investigation really qualified to comfort the family and is busy performing his duties.

The minister steps in at this point to console the family. One of the more dangerous situations to investigate is a family dispute. After the situation has cooled a bit, then the minister may be asked to talk to the family, if it so desires. Other sensitive areas where a minister could be useful is in notifying the next of kin in the event of accidents and violent crimes. Rev.

Minch and his colleagues are members of one of the oldest and most exclusive colleges the electoral college. Under the Constitution, the electoral college, and not ihe 79 million persons who voted last month, selects the next president. Minch is one of the majority of electors pledged to Jimmy Carter, who has been acting as President-elect since the Nov. 2 election in anticipation of formality. In 50 state capitals and the District of Columbia, 538 presidential electors will meet to cast their ballots.

A electoral total is equal to the number of congressmen and senators from the state. The District of Columbia gets three electoral votes. The man who gets 270 or more votes wins. If all goes predictably, Carter will get 297 votes and President Ford will get 241. The results will be sent to Washington and announced Jan.

6 by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller. Only then will Carter officially be declared the elect. The drawn out schedule is a relic of the slower pace of travel and communications in 1787, when the plan was written. But all does not always go predictably. In Ohio, a group of Republicans sought a ruling from a federal judge that would block Minch and other 24 Carter electors from voting in Columbus.

They claim vote fraud tainted vote victory there last month, Even if their suit succeeded, Carter would stand a good chance to be elected, since he 1 would expect to receive 272 1 votes, two more than the necessary majority. There is no constitutional requirement that the electors vote for the candidate to whom they are pledged. In 1972, for example, Virginia elector Roger Ma Bride, pledged to Richard Nixon, voted instead for John Hospers, that Libertarian party presidential candidate. MacBride himself was the Libertarian candidate this year. Actions like are rare.

But it is custom and political party discipline, not the force of law, that prevent maverick votes from negating the will of the people as expressed the popular vote. The framers of the Con-isentatives, which chooses the stitution, in fact, did not envis-j president in case no one wins a ion direct election by the people! majority of the electoral vote, of the president. In an age of monarchies, direct election smacked too much of anarchy. As Alexander Hamilton wrote in it was desirable to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and So the electoral college was invented as an intermediary group. Choosing electors, Ham ilton thought, be much less apt to convulse the com Hayes and Harrison finished second in the popular voting, but they carried enough big states, although by narrow margins, to win a majority in the college.

The possibility that the college might again thwart the popular will has concerned some contemporary lawmakers such as Sen. Birch Bayh, who has tried several times to get Congress to pass an amendment providing for di- munity than the choice of I rect presidential" election, one who was himself to be the) He recently noted that the final object of the public of just 8,000 votes from es lCarter to Ford in close states The Hamiltonians felt that like Ohio and Hawaii could the election of a president was too important to leave directly to the people. They envisioned the college as an elite group of wise men who would select a leader in the best interests of the nation. Such elitist notions died soon after the rise of political parties, which also were not envisioned by the Founding Fathers. They soon learned to put up full slates of reliable loyalists pledged to their nominees.

The electors rarely strayed from their pledges. The system has given the nation three presidents who lost in the popular vote: John Quincy Adams in 1824; Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876; and Benjamin Harrison in 1888. Adams, the second-place finisher in a four-way race, was elected by the House of Repre- have given Ford an electoral college victory without a majority of the popular vote.
