Moscone spending recess time running for governor I fcV toi Ay fV- I I S- .4 THURSDAY, NOV. 1, 1973 Pago 31 Section IV Nixon order on ITT sparks fight By JOHN STANTON Timet Political Writer Now that the State Legislature is in adjournment until the first of the year, most assemblymen and state senators are doing other things. For George Moscone, the Democratic floor leader of the Senate, that "other thing" is running for Moscone, of San Francisco, has been running for governor for nearly two years, but now he is spend ing six days a week on the7 task. He acknowledged in an interview with the Times on Wednesday afternoon that constant campaigning can be a drag. "I dont believe anyone who says campaigning is fun," he said.

"But 1 am finding it more enjoyable now that the legislature is in recess." There are too many legislative. matters to worry about when the Legislature is in session. Moscone said, and there is too little time 4o campaign. "Its difficult to have both Jrons in the fire." Since he is from San wrandsco, he must make limself known better in Southern California. That is he is temporarily living ilgwn there five days a week at the home of a staff edged, "but I have a pretty good capacity for catching 20 minutes of sleep at a time in the car or on the plane." He also supplements his diet with vitamins, he said.

Moscone is one of three Democratic gubernatorial candidates from San Francisco. The other two are Mayor Joseph Alioto and businessman William Mat-son Roth. So far the Roth campaign does not appear to have caught fire, but Alioto and Secretary of State Edmund G. Brown are considered the frontrunners in the race. Moscone said he is not concerned he might split the San Francisco vote with Alioto.

"('don't have the same constituency as the mayor," Moscone said. "He is more of a conservative than I am." The only clash between the two might come in the labor field, Moscone added. "That is one thing we do share," he said. "He does better with lador because he spends 90 of hid time in that field." Nevertheless. Alioto should not expect labor's endorsement, Moscone said.

It takes a two-thirds vote of the Committee On Political Education (COPE), labor's political arm, to endorse a candidate, and Moscone feels Alioto will never get it. COPE will hold its state convention next April, but Moscone said Alioto, in an effort to grab the labor endorsement, is trying to get the convention moved up to January and the two-thirds vote for endorsement lowered to a simple majority- Alioto attempting to achieve this coup through his labor friends in Washington, D.C. who are cozy to him because of his support for Sen. Hubert Humphrey in last year's presidential primary, Moscone said. "Alioto is trying to raise dough and assert pressure downward, but the rank and file are not buying it." Moscone said.

"It will never happen because it would be too blatant a move." As far as the Republican-candidates for governor are concerned, Moscone said he would most like to run against Lt. Gov. Ed Rein-ecke in the general election, because "he will be saying the same things as Ronald Reagan, but without the ability to articulate and stylize them." Controller Houston Flournoy would be the toughest Republican candidate to beat. Moscone said. but he expects the GOP candidate will turn out to be Attorney General Evclle Younger.

member. "There are more people, more meetings and more media" in Southern California. he explained. Rep. Jerome Waldie of Antioch, another Democratic candidate, spent a month walking through Southern California in an attempt to make himself better known down there.

Moscone said he considered' for six or seven months making a similar walk, but he ultimately decided that such a walk "smacks of gimmickry." "Besides, in a big state like this, it Just cant be done. You just cant meet enough people." So Moscone is simply making the typical candidate's tour a luncheon here, a meeting there, a press conference, a television taping. On Friday Moscone will spend the day in Santa Clara County. He intends to speak at a Democratic luncheon. hold a press conference at the Valley Medical Center (County Hospital), attend a benefit for the United Farm workers and speak at San Jose State University.

It will be a typical campaign day for Moscone, although the primary election is still more than seven months away. "I get tired," he acknowl Secret plan to silence unfair news WASHINGTON (AP) Former presidential adviser Jeb S. Magruder once promoted a White House plan to use three government regulatory agencies to silende what the adminb-tration called tinfair news media coverage, says Sen. Lowell P. Weicker.

The Connecticut Republican said Wednesday night that a memorandum authored by Magruder recommended that the Internal Revenue Service, the Justice Department's antitrust division, and the Federal Communications Commission be used to control criticism from the news media. Weicker, a member of the Senate Watergate Committee, said Ma-grader's memorandum, dated Oct. 17, 1969. and titled "The Shotgun Versus the Rifle," was intended for White House Chief of Staff H. R.

Haldeman. The senator made the memorandum public in an interview on WETA's "Martin Agronskys Evening Edition" television program. The Associated Press also obtained a copy of the document from a source on the Senate Watergate committee. Magruder reportedly enclosed along with the memorandum descriptions of about 21 requests from President. Nixon for action relating to "what could be termed unfair news coverage." He listed these suggestions: "Begin an official monitoring system through the FCC as soon as Dean Burch officially on the board as chairman.

If the monitoring system proves our point, we have then legitimate and legal rights to go to the networks, and make official complaints from the I CC "This will have much more effect than a phone can from Herb Klein or Pat Buchanan. "Utilize the antitrust division to investigate various media relating to antitrust violations. Even the possible threat of antitrust anion I think would be effective in changing their views. "Utilizing the Internal Revenue Service as a method to look into the various organizations that we are most concerned about. Just a threat erf an IRS investigation will probably turn their approach.

Magruder also suggested that what the White House considers unfair news coverage could be further squelched by giving preference to "favorites within the media." WASHINGTON (UPI) The recent dbdosure by former special prosecutor Archibald Cox that President Nixon had ordered former Attorney General Richard Kleindienst to drop antitrust proceedings against International Telephone and Telegraph Corp. sparked a partisan battle on Capitol Hill Wednesday. At the same time, Kleindienst denied he had committed perjury before the Senate Judiciary Committee at hb confirmation hearings last year and said he forced the President to reconsider hb position by threatening to resign.

A measure which would have eliminated laws against cultivation, transportation, possession or use of marijuana was defeated by a 66.5 no vote last November.

Foster City attorney Leo Paoli, chairman of the Citizens for the Initiative to Decriminalize Marijuana, said the measure being tried again "because there more and more support for it." The new if it qualifies for the ballot, will differ from the defeated one by exclusion of public marijuana use from unlimited protection, Paoli said.

Strom Thurmond, and Edward Gurney, for telling two other members of the committee details of an ITT case in April, 1971. Kleindienst at the time was deputy attorney general and pressing for reversal of a lower court ruling allowing ITT to acquire the Grinneil Corp.

At hb confirmation hearings, he said no one at the White House attempted to influence the ITT case. On April 19, 1971, Kleindienst confirmed in a statement Wednesday, Nixon ordered him not to appeal the case. Kleindienst said he then threatened to resign, won an extension of time to appeal and eventually convinced the President the appeal was necessary. As it turned out, Kkindienst said, the appeal paved the way for a settlement of the case favorable to the government. with ITT agreeing to.

Kk-indienst said Wednesday that according to "a fair and objective reading of the transcripts of my testimony I did not perjure myself or give false information." He said his statement was in regard to the ultimate settlement and not related to previous litigation. During Cox's testimony, Sen. Birch Bayh. D-lnd accused Thurmond of "browbeating" Cox.
