Command Change In Vietnam Made By Westmoreland ions controlling the fighting in the critical northern provinces, until now predominantly a marine domain. However, Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Robert E. Cushman, who like.Rosson is a three-star general, retains overall command of the North.

SAIGON (AP) Gen. William C. Westmoreland an: nounced Friday the setting up of a new headquarters leaving the U.S. Marines in overall com- fiUCkSOIl tlllS mand of South Vietnam's menaced northern provinces. But an Army general was installed to direct operations at Khe Sanh and the sector north of Hue.

IJelaWarC The command change, be- TT lieved unique in U.S. military organization and tailored to the special situation in Vietnam, told of recent meetings with the Italians in Rome and the Swedes in Stockholm. There was no indication in any of the announcements that there has been a change in the North Vietnam condition that the United States unconditionally halt its bombing of the North. The fact that talks opened with the Swiss touched off speculation that a possible new Geneva i peace conference is being plored by the two parties. This the Swiss deny.

Paul H. Douglas said Thursday.

"We should make it possible for able and good men of moderate means or no means at all to run for public office with a greater prospect of success," Douglas said. "Otherwise we will close off World Today By WILLARD H. MOBLEV Associated Press Writer WASHINGTpN (AP) Politicians are doing some late-at- night figuring--much of it concerning the Republican-Democratic division of delegations in the House--on how to put a presidential election through that branch of Congress. A House election would be necessary if no presidential candidate received a majority of electoral-college votes. The extent of concern was pointed up in a little-noticed speech by House Republican Leader Gerald R.

Ford at a recent party luncheon. It was a 15-minute lecture on the task of electing a president in the face of an all-out third- party threat by former Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama. First problem: How do you get the necessary 270 electoral votes when 35 or maybe more of the total look unavailable? Ford stayed away from naming states but other party sources listed Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina as areas where Wallace is at least a threat.

Together they have 35 votes. Besides, Wallace is on the ballot in California and is looking over numerous other states. Ford treated the failure of either major party to gain a electoral majority as a real pos sibility. The burden of his talk was about what happens when the job of picking a president shifts to the House. A presidential vote there is by states, so that Nevada with just one congressman, carries the same weight as California or New York with their platoon size delegations.

It takes 23 states to win. As things stand, Democrats would win hands down. They control 29 delegations to 18 for the Republicans. But it's by no means that simple because congressional elections this fall could change that makeup. For example, three delegations--Illinois, Montana and Oregon--are evenly split.

A one-vote shift either way would swing any one of them. The Democrats are ahead by one in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Tennessee and hold the single Nevada seat. Again a one- vote turnover would shift control. But the Republicans have similar problems. They are ahead by one in Arizona and Indiana, and hold the single seats in Alaska, Delaware, Vermont and Wyoming.

States where the Democrats have a margin of two seats are Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Virginia. The Republicans are two up Idaho, Minnesota, New Hemp- shire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Utah. The Republicans claim they see places to win 31 seats ami take control of the House, but to public life to people and interests who need to feel that they are a part of society and can make contributions to it." The need, he said, "is for campaigns to be so democratically financed that candidates and parties will not be under obligation to large contributions. Only under these conditions can citizens and parties of modest means compete on equitable terms." Douglas, defeated in 1966 in a I win the White House as well presents a different problem. For instance, they wouldn't be far ahead for the presidency with pickups where they already lead.

A net of three new seats theoretically could give the GOP Illinois, Montana and Indiana. Another four could bring in Kentucky, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. With the 18 they now hold, a two-vote pickup in ane of 11 other states could give them 26 and command. But the Democrats claim ta see places for overturns their own way, which would scramble all such calculations. And what if the party now in the minority by two in a delegation picks up just one and sets up a new intradelegation tie? It takes a majority to vote at all in a House presidential election.

Altogether it is a situation guaranteed to make battlegrounds out of some congressional districts that might nol have been so hotly contested. bid for a fourth term as Democratic senator from Illinois, is now chairman of the National Commission on Urban Problems and a lecturer at the New School for Social Research in New York. His remarks were in a speech prepared for Johns Hopkins University. Built-in forces are at work, he said, "which, if not corrected, will cause our government to be controlled by and for the wealthy rather than by the people and to become a plutocracy rather than a democracy." Douglas endorsed public financing of campaigns for president, vice president, senator and congressman and full disclosure of financial interests by members of Congress. ames Marlow, who usually rites this column, is ill.

Buckson also told a news con-; Terence that he does not believe i the ABA proposal to restrict the release of information concerning criminal cases applied to i him as an elected official. "No resolution can muzzle the elected, constitutional official charged with prosecution" he said. "I think the attorney general has a right to say he thinks a man is guilty."

Buckson said press relations were good in Delaware, and "I don't think we need such a res-, olution" as the Reardon Report in this state.

Japan Says I Hanoi Bids For Peace I TOKYO (iAP) North Vietnam, while trying to persuade the United States it has fallen into a military impasse, has I been in contact with Switzerland, Sweden and Italy. These contacts and broadcasts from Hanoi, while not spelled out, seem aimed at advancing North Vietnam's ideas for bringing peace. The Swiss have announced that their ambassador to Peking, Oscar Rossetti, had talks with North Vietnamese Foreign Minister Nguyen Duy Trinh in mid-February and that a Hanoi Foreign Ministry official will soon visit Switzerland.

(AP) --A two-day conference on edu- cational television has recom-! mnded building television antennas and distribution systems into new schools as they are; constructed. Superintendents of schools, county commissioners and board of education members who attended said the state should re-1 quire this equipment for approval of new schools. The conferees also urged the state to budget funds immediately for classroom TV sets and to develop a state purchasing plan to assure acquisition of necessary equipment. A committee of school superintendents was named to take responsibility for approving the coordinated purchasing plan. Responsibility for developing specifications for equipment, the group said, would be taken by the Engineering Division of the Maryland Educational Cultural Broadcasting Commission.

No money figure was discussed for either the school construction proposal or the one dealing with TV sets. Baltimore City and all 23 counties were represented by a r.chool superintendent, a school board member or a county commissioner. About 120 persons attended. Maryland's first educational telecasts are scheduled to begin early in 1969.
