Ball traded polite diplomacy for bareknuckle politics today and, as Hubert Humphrey's foreign affairs adviser, charged that Richard M. Nixon would probably escalate the Vietnam War if elected president.

At a news conference the day after announcing his resignation as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Ball criticized the Republican candidate as a man without pattern or principle to his life "It is important that people do not forget the 'tricky Dick' we used to talk about," Ball said. "Because there is significance in the phrase." He said his decision to quit his post at the United Nations to help the Democratic candidate defeat Nixon was matter of character, a matter of principle." "I find no pattern in Mr. Nixon's life. He is a man who is one thing one day and another the he said.

"I have no idea what Mr. Nixon would do about the war in Vietnam. From past expertion ience with him, I think he would try to escalate it." Ball said Nixon urged that the United States "invest troops in support of the French policy" when France was defeated at Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam in 1954. He said the late Secretary of State John Foster Dulles "had to pull him back from it." "Mr. Nixon has been a man much more interested in public opinion polls than in principles," Ball said.

He referred to "the cynicism with which he selected his vice presidential candidate," dismissing Maryland Gov. SpiroT Agnew by saying that the idea cian like Agnew might stand that "a fourth rate hack politiwithin a heartbeat of the presidency is fantastic." Ball was even rougher on third party candidate George C. Wallace. "Vice President he said, "is running against a man named Nixon and another whose name I can't recall." Ball denied he resigned because of differences with President Johnson's administraeither on Vietnam or (See BALL, Page 2) Black Panther Boss Gets 2 to 15 Years OAKLAND, Calif, (UPI)- Newton maintained his cheerBlack Panther founder Huey P. ful demeanor.

Portugal Gets New Premier LISBON (UPI)-The age of Salazar ended today. President Americo Thomaz called in Marcelo Caetano to be sworn in as premier of Portugal to replace strongman Antonio Salazar, stricken by a brain hemorrhage 11 days ago. Caetano and his cabinet were scheduled to take their oaths of office at 3:30 p.m. (10:30 a.m., EDT) at presidential Belem Palace.

The change bore the stamp of Salazar's 40 years of power. Salazar, 79, lay in a hospital bed in a coma. The nation he firmly but quietly dominated since 1929 showed no sign of emotion at the event. Salazar, a backroom man, always scorned pomp and circumstance and the crowd's hurray. The new premier was no stranger.

Caetano, a 62-year-old lawyer, long had served Salazar. He wrote the political theory that fitted Salazar's strongman rule and often was cited as heir apparent. Portuguese officials predicted no policy switch. They even called the Caetano cabinet a "government of continuity." However, businessmen, for one, cheerfully predicted some minor changes. Caetano is a veteran corporation lawyer.

He has. called for more foreign investment to boost the economy of this leastdeveloped nation of Western Europe. Politically, Caetano is of the same right wing on which Salazar based his regime of a "well ordered" society. But. unlike Salazar who was almost an office recluse, Caetano has kept up contact with liberals, both students asking questions and politicians disagreeing with Salazar.

Republican Richard M.

Nixon rejected the idea of a nontelevised debate and Democrat Hubert H. Humphrey said the GOP nominee was showing "disdain" for the public by refusing to engage in a meeting on the same platform. The Vice President wired Nixon Thursday night saying he was happy to learn Nixon was now willing to debate him and asking their representatives meet immediately to make arrangements. Nixon, before departing Louisville, this morning accused Humphrey of "thrashing in the wind" while firmly rejecting any plan for a nontelevised debate. "This is just some of the kid stuff one goes through when he is behind," Nixon remarked.

Humphrey, on live television in San Francisco at the time of the Nixon statement, replied: "You may call this kid stuff, Mr. Nixon, but I call it the stuff of statesmen. I'm going to insist that we act like men and not like managed robots. I think, Mr. Nixon, your rejection of this indicates a kind of disdain for public opinion.

"Mr. Nixon. if you are unwilling to debate with me, how are you going to stand up in discussions with other world leaders." Nixon laid out his position on debates this way: He is willing to debate Humphrey on television as long as the debate does not include third party candidate George C. Wallace. He has said he was against a third party candiate participating on grounds it would work against the two party system.

Meanwhile, Lawrence F. O'Brien, Democratic National Committee chairman, wired Nixon his morning statement indicating a misunderstanding on the part of the Republican nomiree. O'Brien asked a Nixon representative be appointed to confer with him on the possibility of setting up a debate, even if time had to be purchased from the networks on a cost sharing basis by the two candidates. Thursday the two candidates exchanged views on one issue, Vietnam, while campaigning in different parts of the country.
