Special prosecutor to be named for WatergateWASHINGTON (UPI)--A special prosecutor

will be named to supervise investigationaimed at uncovering the "whole truth" inthe Watergate scandal, attorney-generaldesignate Elliot L. Richardson announcedyesterday.

Aichardson, himself designated just lastweek by President Nixon to take charge ofthe government's investigation into thewidening scope of the plot and subsequentefforts to cover up its scope, said theperson selected would be given "all theindependence" necessary to conduct a fulland impartial investigation.

Richardson read a statement of his plansduring an appearance at the Pentagon be-fore newsmen, and declined to answer anyquestions about who the prosecutor wouldbe.He explained that the reason was his

forthcoming confirmation hearings, start-ing tomorrow, by the Senate Judiciary Com-mittee which he said was the only "ap-nropriate forum" for such questions atthis time.

Several possibilities for the job havebeen mentioned, including William T. Cope-

man, a Philadelphia lawyer who was a classmateof Richardson's at Yale and who later servedwith Richardson as a Supreme Court clerk tothe late Justice Felix Frankfurter,.

Coleman was asked yesterday morning in Phila-delphia if he had been asked to take the job.He refused to comment on all questions re-lated to the matter.

Richardson said at the outset of his Penta-gon appearance that he wanted the JudiciaryCommittee to know, before it started hearingson his nomination for attorney general that he

The transcript was of Hunt's testimony last Wednes-day in Washington before the Watergate grand jury. Thejudge had released other parts of it earlier.

Byrne also revealed yesterday that an affidavit filedby former White House Aide Emil Krough shows that lateFBI Director J. Edgar Hoover personally approved thelaunching of a special White House undercover investi-gation of the Pentagon Papers case.

the exacting standards the special prosecutor wouldhave to have and would name him as rapidly as possible.Aany senators want to have the right to confirm theman.

Meanwhile, the Florida White House, on Nixon's be-half, issued yesterday a sweeping denial of any presi-dential involvement in the Watergate scandal or a sub-sequent cover-up.

Although the White House recently has declined tocomment on individual news reports relating to Water-gate, it did feel comment was merited on a Newsweekmagazine report which said ousted White House CounselJohn W. Dean III was prepared to testify Nixon per-sonally congratulated him last September for coveringup administration involvement in the Watergate case.

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP)--Former Treasury SecretaryJohn B. Connally held a surprise meeting with PresidentNixon yesterday amidst rumors and speculation that hehas been offered a high administration post, possiblysecretary of defense. The Florida White House announcedat mid-afternoon that Nixon was conferring with theformer Texas governor at his bayside compound. "ThePresident asked Gov. Connally to come down," said DeputyPress Secretary Gerald L. Warren, who gave no otherdetails, saying only that Nixon "wanted to talk with"Connally. In Washington, meanwhile, there were un-confirmed reports that Connally would be named to suc-ceed Defense Secretary Elliot L. Richardson if theSenate confirms Richardson as the new attorney general.

WASHINGTON (AP)--S;enator George McGovern has attackedan article in Sunday's New York Times Magazine "asfilled with half-truths and fabricated quotations."The article, by Joe McGinniss, quoted McGovern as say-ing he "never liked" his first running mate, SenatorThomas Eagleton, and that Eagleton "never would showme the medical reports. What a runaround he gave us onthat." The article also quoted McGovern as saying he Wnearly moved to England after he lost his 1972 presi-dential bid. To this, the South Dakota senator has re-plied: "Joe McGinniss is a journalist who insinuatedhimself into the Nixon campaign in 1968 and later madea reputation with a sensational book based on spying onhis colleagues."

Solemnization of vows had emotional meaning

By the slargazer

By Hank Boschen

As I said last week, I have a surprise for you thisweek. It is a surprise for all except the 75 or sopeople who attended the affair. This was the "contem-porary" solemnization of the marriage of John and PennyDawson. What intrigued me most about this was thatfrom my understanding, there can be no weddings inGuantanamo.

Actually, this was not a wedding, but the reaffirma-tion of marriage vows. It took place at 2 p.m. April29 at the Base Chapel.

Father Gaughan presided and the spoken words wereprepared by John Dawson and they represented some verybeautiful thoughts and showed a great deal of devotionand affection between man and wife. The bride wore awhite eyelet dress, floor length with a blue lining.She wore a matching peasant shawl. The maid of honorwore a purple floral print eyelet dress. You will haveto excuse my description since I'm not much on ladieswear. The bridesmaid wore a red day glow blouse withshort sleeves and a long floral print skirt. LittleMichelle Dawson, the flower girl, wore the same as hermother.

One of the beauties of the service, which lastednearly one hour, was, as I said before, the spokenword. The musical accompanyment, while quite reverent,was not that which is normally heard at a wedding cere-mony, but then this was a solemnization.

When the service was over, I had the feeling that Ihad witnessed an event which obviously held great emo-tional. meaning for the participants. The couple helda reception at the Morin Center later that evening.John Dawson, as some of you may know, is the leader

of St. Elmo's Fire. He shows a great deal of talent,especially with the written word.

I notice on the station bulletin board that therewill be a boxing smoker on May 26. All you boxersshould get your names in. Speaking of the bulletinboard, I noticed the baseball play"oofs" are underway.Speaking of goofs, if I didn't know better, I wouldthink Mike Kiefer was from Texas. Did you ever hearsuch a regional accent?You may not know who the dump dwellers are, but

I'll tell you they are a fun group of senior officers.On April 26, they all got together and went down toOcho Rios for the weekend. My one regret was that Icouldn't go (my operation, you know). I was told theyreally had a ball, but then they always do.

The Ladies Day Regatta at the Yacht Club is history.Jackie Williams and Carol Ormsbee took first placeand the trophy. The races were really fought underhard conditions. One race had too much wind, the nextwas made more difficult by shifting wind and finallythere was no wind. Congratulations to the winners.

Kudos after a fashion to Public Works Department. Iwas talking to some of the Center Bargo residents andthey tell me that the long promised sidewalks are nowbeing installed. I further hear that the new lightingis being put in East Bargo.What about the water barrels? Some people got them

on an issue basis, but I know of one lady who submitteda chit and still is waiting. Maybe she has it by now.Oh! Have you heard the big water barrel scandal onMarina Point? It all started when Buck Burwell wantedto use a garden hose. I understand that Buck is nowsearching for a barrel with a faucet.

Speaking of the aviation community, who is JillCadenas? I am told that she really plays a good gameof golf.

Our Gitmo Bay Motorcycle Club reminds me that theirhare and hound race will take place this Saturday atLeeward on the salt flats. What is the hare and houndrace? Well, the lead bike in the race is the hare andall the followers are the hounds. They try to catchthe hare. It will be five laps on a four-mile course.I understand that it will challenge the base hot rods, butwill be easy enough for any novice rider. With about300 trail bikes on the base, it should make for an inter-esting Saturday. If you want more information, contactMike Herrington.

I have some nice things to say some of the time andthis is one. Have you had the occasion to dine outrecently? If you haven't, and you would like a pleasantexperience, I suggest you try the Blue Caribe. 4y wifeand I enjoyed a very pleasant dining out. EspeciallyI would like to commend Anice Rougeau, the manager, andClive McKinnon, the head waiter. It was truly a pleasur-able experience. I keep hoping that someone will ask meto the Windjammer so I can make a statement about thatclub.

Steve Luchs tells me that the club really had a goodweekend just past. He has now set up the game roomwhich I reported several weeks ago.

Say, the USS Jesse L. Brown will be going to Haitithis weekend. I don't know how many spaces will beavailable, but you can call Base Passenger Transpor-tation Office. New arrivals here include: USS Barney,a DDG; USS W.S. Sims, a DE will arrive tomorrow, aswill the Dahlgren, a DLC. USS Raleigh, an LPD, arrivedyesterday. USS McCard, USS Vogelgesang and USCGSMurno have departed as of last week.

Flash! I have just received information that theRadio and Paola Pointers and Setters plan to revivetheir world famous volleyball team.

I read all these nice things about the Commissary, butI still get bad lettuce. Does any else get bad lettuceor just me? They make it sound good, but that doesn'tget me any lettuce. Can anyone tell me where everyoneexcept me gets shrimp?Next week: The airport.

Amnesty: A complex issue facing Americans

By Lt. Jim LoisPublic Affairs Officer

I have looked forward to discuss-ing the amnesty issue with about asmuch enthusiasm as that preceding aswan dive into a pile of brokenglass.

It may be a spectacular method of

gaining notice, but the price is aserious consideration. Yet thequestion of amnesty is one of thosedisagreeable things that refuses togo away. It's like a hair thatkeeps falling across your cheek--you can't see it, you feel it--youknow it's there but it's hard tofind and keep in place. No matterhow elusive, the subject will un-doubtedly be on the American poli-tical scene for a number of yearsbefore it's decided one way or theother. So, while tempers on bothsides of the question are relativelycool, it may be wise to examine someof the facts.

Estimates on the number of VietNam war evaders in foreign countrieshave ranged from several hundred to100,000. Canada alone thinks sheis entertaining about 30,000; Sweden

guesses 1,500 are staying in Stock-holm. White House Aide PatrickBuchanan says 4,900 disgruntledyoung men have fled the country,while the Defense Department be-

lieves 32,500 have deserted oravoided military service.

The problem is complex becauseitinvolves not only draft-dodgers,but also deserters: not only personswho left the country, but those whodid not. Some are fugitives fromjustice, while others chose not torun. The latter category includesmen who have completed, or are pres-ently serving, prison terms forviolation of the Selective ServiceAct.

Most of us probably stand midwaybetween President Nixon's "never,never" and the extraordinary demand,,ade by a Swedish church organiza-tion in support of the evaders forimmediate ind unconditional amnesty,stating they should be welcomed

back with the same exuberance thatwe greeted the former POWs.

Personally, L don't see how any-ne can seriously argue that shack-ing up in Sweden for the duration

was as great an ordeal as spendingthe time in a POW camp. fry telling

that to the men who limped homefrom Hanoi, or to the mutilatedveterans in Oak Knoll Hospital whohave no legs!

We can, if we like, sweep thewhole amnesty issue under the car-pet by saying that each case mustbe decided on its merits; but pass-ing the buck to innumerable draftboards and judges all over thecountry can hardly be called a so-lution.

ilowever, one advocate for thismethod is the distinguished senatorfrom Illinois, kdlai Stevenson III..ie says the enforcement authorities(courts) are each quite competentto consider the motivations of theindividual. unfortunately for thereturning draft evader and deserter,what the courts decide would reflecteach judge'; personal belief.

;.ome who have little compassionwould give the maximum sentence offive years in prison. More sympa-thetic judges will order alternateservice in lieu of prison, or possi-bly,, though unlikely, total amnes-ty. Jot enough exiles have yet re-turned for me to observe a trendin the courts' opinions. Thus,the draft evasion cases of thosewho did not flee are all that Ihave to serve as a guide.

During the year ending in June1972, 1,642 young men were convict-ed of refusing to submit for in-duction. All but 53 were put onprobation. )f the 53 jailed, only16 were given the maximum five-year sentence. The point I amraising here is not whether ex-natriates should receive amnesty,alternative service or imprison-ment, but rather whether all shouldnot get the same consideration.

it one point during the 1972election campaign, President Nixonsaid, "Those who deserted must paytheir price, and the price is nota junket in the Peace Corps orsomething like that."

Peace Corps volunteers around theworld let loose with a blast whenthat unintentional volley was back-handed into their court. But Mr.Nixon has never found any difficultyin changing his mind and no doubthis sober second thought will sug-gest to him a compromise.

It will be a test of his well-known flexibility to come up witha compromise that will not strikeSenator Kennedy as a pitiless vendettaor Senator Strom Thurmond as a gratui-tous insult to every man in uniform.

Amnesty is not new to this country.On 28 separate occasions a Presidenthas declared some form of amnesty,while only one of these declarations,by President Andrew Johnson on Christ-mas Day in 1868 for Confederate sol-diers, was unconditional and univer-sal.

Today public attitudes againstgranting amnesty to those who leftthe country to evade the draft havehardened since the end of the VietNam war and the return of the Amer-ican POWs. In a Lou Harris opinionpoll, conducted in March of thisyear, 67 to 24 per cent of thosepolled were flatly against any kindof general amnesty for those who,for whatever reason, refused toserve in the armed forces during theViet Nam period.

When those surveyed were asked ifthey would favor giving amnesty ifthe evaders had to spend two yearsin some form of national serviceother than in the military, the re-sults were almost a split decisionwith 43 per cent in favor and 49per cent opposed to this suggestion.(Republican Sen. Robert Taft of Ohioalready has introduced such acongressional proposition.)

It was the opinion of analysistHarris that the negative feelingsof the amnesty issue today are morea reflection on the lingering frus-tration the American people haveabout the Viet Nam war generally.They are all to well aware of thedivisions the war caused here athome and have little desire tocontinue them into the future.Although happy to be rid of the bur-den of Viet Nam, there is littledisposition to be kind or charitable.

Now the war is over, and far frombeing repeatent of what they have

Some stateside network commenta-tors have drawn a comparison to thefictitious Lieutenant Philip Nolanin Edward Hale's "A Man Without aCountry," wherein Nolan cried "damnthe United States, I wish I maynever hear the name of the UnitedStates mentioned again." He gotjust what he asked for by spendingthe last 50 years of his life con-stantly at sea being transferredfrom one naval vessel to another.In my opinion, this comparison isa rather hasty and inconclusivereference.

From Captain's Call

Answers given on hours,

dungaree shirts, pro shopThe following are selected questions and answers which were addressed atthe last Captain's Call:

oUnsTION: Why won't the insurance company pay for the estimate costgiven for your car at the Navy Exchange garage?ANSWER: It is the policy of insurance companies to pay actual repair

costs but not the cost of the estimate. However, the cost of the esti-;mate is deducted from the repair cost if the repair work is performed bythe Navy Exchange garage.

QUESTION: Would it be possible for the Navy Exchange to stay openan additional hour on Tuesday afternoons now that the exchange is closedon Sundays?

ANSWER: The Navy Exchange-Commissary Store Advisory Board will be re-quested to survey the personnel they represent as to desired operatinghours for the Navy Exchange. The results of this survey will be used toadjust the Navy Exchange's operating hours.

*UESTION: Why can't you buy Seafarer dungaree shirts at the Navy Ex-change?

ANSWER: The exchange currently has a large supply of Seafarer dungareeshirts on order. However, due to the high demand currently being exper-ienced for denim fabrics, manufacturers are unable to keep up with thedamand for this type of fabric. This situation is causing the exchangeto experience unpredictable lead times and a not-in-stock situation.ordering factors have been adjusted to compensate for the extended leadtimes being experienced.

QUESTION: Is there any way we can go through J.C. Whitney Co. to get

parts for automobiles?ANSWER: Lase personnel can order directly from J.C. Whitney. Currently

the Navy Exchange must pay the same price as an individual on items order-ed from J.C. Whitney. This situation would make the exchange's sellingprice higher than J.C. Whitney's catalogue price. howeverr, action hasbeen initiated to see if the exchange can obtain a distributor's price sothe exchange'3 selling price will be no more than the catalogue listprice.

QUESTION: Would it be possible to air condition the coffee shop?ANSWER: The Coffee Shop will be renovated and air conditioned prior

to September of this year.

QUESTION: Is it possible for Special Services to run the operation ofthe Golf Pro Shop at the golf course?ANSWER: Yes, however, existing Navy policy is to have the Navy Exchange

operate resale activities of this nature if it is within the capabilitiesof the exchange.

,UESTION: Is it possible for ServMart to give certificates of ownershipfor all merchandise sold at ServMart?

ANSWER: The customer service counter at ServMart will issue a NavyExchange sales slip for any purchase upon request. This sales slip can beused as proof of ownership.

All volunteer military

'New look' to help service in many ways(Editor's note--The new look in the armed forces is

designed to attract more volunteers into the services.in the following article, a UPI military writer tellswhat the Pentagon is doing to obtain permanent enlist-ments.

WASHINGTON (UPI)--This is the year of the all-volun-teer army, the first time in 25 years that the UnitedStates has done without the draft.

Now that withdrawal from Vietnam has been accomplishedit is also a year of recovery and regrouping for theU.S. military.

During the coming year the size of the armed forceswill be at about 2.23 million--1.3 million fewer thanin 1968, at the height of fighting in Southeast Asia;and 460,UOO fewer than in 1964 before America's involve-ment in the war began.

"These reductions have been due in part to our dis-engagement from the Vietnam war, in part to more effic-ient use of military manpower, and in part to our ac-ceptance of lower force levels in the near term in orderto fund overdue modernization of weapons systems,"Elliot L. Richardson said shortly after becoming defensesecretary.

Elliot Richardson was on hand when den.Lewis B. Hershey retired. Since then allthese changes have taken place in the armedforces.

The cost of eliminating the draft, for instance, ateup the so-called "peace dividend" from Vietnam throughmilitary salaries. Starting pay for a recruit in mid-1963 was $78 per month. Today it has about doubled.During the same period the monthly pay for a sergeantwith from four to six years of service also doubled.

Additional pay raises proposed for the coming fiscalyear could push the monthly pay up another $30 approxi-mately.

The goal, Richardson said, has been to military per-sonnel--particularly in the lower ranks--"a salary com-parable to what they could earn in the private sectorof the economy."

Before the pay raises, the families of many young GIswere forced on welfare. Compulsory military servicewas the only way to fill the ranks under those condi-tions.

The "new look" has not been limited to the Army. TheAir Force, the Navy and the Marines have had a change,too, because many of their volunteers in previous yearswere avoiding the draft.

heavier emphasis must be placed on recruiting, includ-ing advertising and making service life so attractivethat those who join will stay.

Enlisted men no longer will have to live in huge com-munal bays and keep their clothes in dingy metal lock-ers. At three of its bases, the Army is building radi-cally new barracks to give troops the next thing toapartment living.

The Army's new barracks will be constructed in moduleswhich consist of a central living room flanked by fourthree-man bedrooms with baths. The modules will bespaced three stories high to form a "cluster," and eachset of two clusters--nousing a total of 720 men--willshare an enclosed courtyard.blacks and other ethnic minorities will also find op-

portunities opening up an--at least to some degree--theircomplaints against discrimination getting attention.

This latter point worries the Pentagon leaders. TheDefense Department has instituted a vigorous equal oppor-tunites program, but officials have found that all toooften policies issued in Washington are not implemented.

"More will be done," says Richardson, who particularlyis concerned about minority representation in executive-level positions. "We still have a long way to go to at-tain a rate of minority officers proportional to thenational representation. It is one of our highest pri-orities."

Special drives are underway to increase the percentageof blacks in reserve officers training corps programsand to raise the number of blacks attending the serviceacademies.

The Army has two black major generals and seven blackbrigadier generals. The Navy has one black rear admiral.The Air Force has one black major general, and one blackbrigadier general and one black colonel slated to put onhis first star soon.

"Whatever size Army you have, it should be ready tofight," a top-ranked Army commander said recently."We're not there yet. Only some of it can fight."

American League roundup

Guantanamo Gazette

White Sox win nine straightCompiled by JOSN Dan Reis

The slugging Chicago White Sox have put together their longest winningstreak in six years, and surprisingly they've done it with pitching.

The Sox completed a three-ame sweep of New York and their ninth straightwin Sunday by trouncing the Yankees, 11-2. The win left them atop theAmerican Leagues West Division by two games.

The two runs scored against the Sox Sunday were the only runs scoredagainst Chicago in five wins last week. Manager Chuck Tanner of the Soxhas been doing it with a three-ian starting rotation which includes rubber-armed Wilbur Wood, (7-20), Stan Bahnsen (4-1), and Eddie Fisher. Short-man Terry Forster has turned into one of the topreliefersin the AmericanLeague. The Sox also have four hitters in the top ten batting. Heading thelist is Pat Kelly who leads the league at .486 clip. Also in the top tenare Ken Henderson and Mike Andrews at .333 and Bill Melton hitting .329.elton is also among the home run leaders with six 4and 23 RBI's.Elsewhere in the West, Kansas City with John Mayberry, the RBI leader

with 26, won three of five games to stay in second place behind Chicago.The California Angels behind strong pitching of Nolan Ryan and Bill Singer,two National League castoffs, won four of five to move to third. Minnesotasplit four games during the week to remain fourth. ihe world championOakland A'a behind home run leader Gene Tenace, won four of six games andTexas remains on the bottom by losing three of five.

Seeing as the Western teams seem to be faring good, there must be someonethat isn't. The case is in the Eastern Division of the American Leaguewhere none of the six teams are playing .500 ball.

Only a game and a half separates all the teams with Detroit on top and

Boston on the bottom. Surprising Milwaukee holds down the second spot,only percentage points behind Detroit. Some of the Tigers success is comingfrom Willie Horton, who after a dismal season last year is hitting the ballat a .349 clip, and Joe Coleman, a 20-game winner last year, off to a goodstart with a 6-1 record.

None of the Eastern teams played good last week with Detroit, .1ilwaukee,

Cleveland and Boston all winning two of five, while New York and Beltimore,the two pre-season picks, dragging behind with one winin five starts lastweek.

The designated hitter has come to find a home in Boston, where Orlando

Cepeda of the Red Sox is hitting over .300 with six home runs and 18 runs

batted in. The league's leader should emerge after this weekend when thesecond place Brewers travel to Detroit to do battle with the Tigers.

the Western Division where the San Francisco Giants arethreatening to make shambles and whether or not HankAaron can keep up his home run pace and catch the Babe

this year.The Giants, supported by three hitters in the top ten,

and a strong comeback by pitcher Juan Marichal holds atwo game lead over the red-hot Houston Astros. GaryMaddock is the league's leading hitter with a .392 mark,while teammates Gary Mathews at .344 and Ed Goodson at.333 are close behind.

Another big hitter on the Giants is Bobby Bonds with

six homers and 20 runs batted in which rank among the

league leaders. Perhaps the biggest reason for thestrong Giant start is pitcher Juan Marichal, who after

a dismal 6-16 mark last year, is of to a fine 4-2 start.

The Houston Astros were the only National League team

to make it through the week without a blemish as theywon five straight games. Leading the way has been Bob

Watson, the league's leader in runs batted in with 25and the Toy Cannon Jim Wynn who shares the home runlead with 8.

The man sharing the home run lead with Wynn is theincomparable Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves. The hammer

started the season needing 42 homers to break Babe Ruth'srecord of 714 career blast.
