Strauss says Democrats
must present united front
ATLANTA (UPI) - National
Democratic Party Chairman
Robert S. Strauss says his par
ty has “the most effective
campaign organization in the
country” with which to recap
ture the White House in 1976.
But, Strauss said in a fence
mending memorandum to Na
tional Committee members and
Democratic governors, the
Democrats have to present a
united front against the expect
ed nomination of President Ford
two years from now.

that 99 per cent of them have
no understanding of, or patience
with, internal disputes and bick
ering,” Strauss said in a letter
to Gov. Jimmy Carter.
“They want to see this party
unified and going about the bus
iness of helping to solve some
of the problems of the nation,”
wrote Strauss. “I assure you I
am doing my dead-level best all
day long, every day to help
bring that about.”
Carter is chairman of the par
ty’s campaign committee this
year, traveling extensively to
speak for Democrats running
for Congress and governor in
several states. He is consider-
ing a bid for the national ticket
in 1976, and has repeatedly pre
dicted that President Ford or
any other Republican can be
beaten by a Democratic ticket
in two years.
In his memorandum to Na
tional Committee members,
Strauss said that he did not try
to “stack” the recent Charter
Commission meeting in Kansas
City. He said that his 10 ap
pointees “did not vote as a
bloc” on two crucial issues, and
that his own major projects
“were all obviously favored by
a majority" of the Commission,
even without his appointees.
“As to internal work that is
going on, I want to point out
that we have the most effective
campaign organization in the
country,” Strauss wrote. “We
have actually worked with can
didates in 47 of the 50 states,
we have articulated and con
tinue to articulate and structure
for the candidates the kinds of
issues that are on the minds of
the people of this country.”
Strauss said that the National
Committee staff is working with
governors, mayors and Capitol
Hill leadership in Washington to
develop Democratic policies on
issues of inflation, energy, hous
ing, health care, and other
topics.

Report from America
Vegetables plentiful
but jar lids aren ’t
EAGLE, Mich. (UPI) - Mrs.
Margaret Maag has been
canning the garden vegetables
she raises on her farm in the
rural community of Eagle for
years. But now she’s got a
problem —no lids for the jars.
You’ll find no “store bought”
canned goods cluttering her
pantry shelves.
But, because of a new
commodity shortage, Mrs.
Maag, her daughters and their
neighbors are having deep
trouble finding jar lids.
It’s gotten so bad, they are
sometimes forced to throw
away the products they are
raising for their own families.
“This is really a serious
problem, with people not being
able to can when the products
are available," the 65-year-old
homekeeper, wife of a retired
steelworker, said.
“I know I have thrown away
a lot of stuff because I was
short of lids. They were hard to
come by. I can everything,
including applesauce. ”
Canning supplies have been
in great demand nationwide
because of a shortage of
tinplate used for jar lids and in
material essential to the
production of glass canning,
jars.
This month, Mrs. Maag, a
daughter, and another woman
who had purchased a dozen
cans of tomato from Mrs. Maag
began calling retail stores in
surrounding communities,
Lansing and even as far away
as Michigan’s Upper Peninsula
in search of jar lids. No luck.
“There were no lids to be had
anywhere,” Mrs. Magg said.
Finally, "in desperation,” she
decided to call Gov. William G.
Milliken.
“Lids are something we
need,” she said. “This isn’t a
frivilous thing. I hated to
bother the governor, but I
thought he might know a
source. And as it turned out, he
did.”
Milliken told Mrs. Maas he
had been told by a member of
This is no time |H Itr i

preventing allergies and avoiding drug incompatibilities

the legislature that a jar lid
supplier had been located in
Toronto. He ordered the state
department of commerce to
begin notifying Michigan retail
outlets where lids could be
obtained.
But Mrs. Maag, who puts
away from 350 to 500 cans of
vegetables, fruit and even stew
for winter each year, said she’s
afraid she waited too long to
look for help.
“We can expect frost anytime
now and once that happens,
that’s it for your garden,” she
said. “Maybe I should have
started making waves about a
month ago.
“They have enough steel and
metal to make gunshells for
sportsmen. Why can’t they
make metal for jar lids?”
Graham concerned
about Nixon’s health
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
(UPI) - Evangelist BiUy Gra
ham Monday said there was a
distinct difference between
granting a pardon to a former
President and persons of lesser
stature.
“I think a former president
is in a little different category
in that he has fallen from the
highest office to the lowest
depths,” Graham said during a
meeting with delegates to the
Southern Newspaper Publisher
Association convention.
“The framers of the Constitu
tion gave the President his wide
ranging power (to pardon),” he
said. “They wanted to temper
justice with mercy.”
Graham, 55, said he and other
friends of former President
Richard M. Nixon were “terri
bly concerned “about Nixon’s
health and weU being.
He said that during a three
minute phone conversation with
Nixon two weeks ago, he asked
the ex-president for a meeting
but was refused.
“Some of the former presi
dent’s friends are terribly dis
turbed about Mr. Nixon’s con
dition,” he said.
In his speech before conven
tiondelegates, Graham also said
the Watergate scandal was in
evitable and in many ways good
for the nation.
“It had to come,” he said.

“It had been binlding up for the
last 40 years. We may have
needed this catharsis as a na
tion.”
He said, however, that Water
gate could become a great illu
sion that “you can have public
virtue without private morality.
It is ridiculous to think that in
tegrity can somehow be restor
ed by removing certain offi
cials.”
Graham said the nation’s free
way of life would be destroyed
by the end of the century un
less moral and spiritual values
were restored in every area of
society.
No ladies
CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex.
(UPI) — The army moved into
this trading post for the
Mexican War in 1846 and it was
described as a “small village of
smugglers and lawless men
with but few women and no
ladies.”
Corpus Christi grew and
prospered with the beginning of
ranching. Natural gas was
discovered in 1913 and oil was
discovered a few years later.
It is still a livestock center,
but the presence of Reynolds
Metals, American Smelting and
Refining Co. and others make it
an industrial city.
