Carter says Ford out of touch
University Daily Kansan
Bv the Associated Press
Jimmy Carter, campaigning in California, said yesterday that President Ford was insensitive to the needs of the people and said that Ford's years in Washington had kept him out of touch with average citizens.
"It seems almost inevitable that if political leaders stay in power too long and eat expensive meals in private clubs too long they are going to become cut off from the press and concerns of ordinary Americans," Carter said in a speech in Los Angeles.
The candidate's prepared text had included an additional example of so-called Washington highlife—riding "in limousines too long." But Carter said he deleted that from his address because he had been provided a big black Cadillac in Los Angeles.
He said he's asked the Secret Service to provide ordinary passenger cars at future airports.
Undaunted, she sings once again
"The Secret Service had me riding in a car that was literally little gugly about it," Carter told reporters.
ATLANTA (AP)—Stephanie Nilson, the soloist who forgot the words to the National Anthem at a major league baseball game last week, performed flawlessly last night at the Atlanta-Philadelphia National League game.
Miss Nilson, 19, the reigning Miss Bloomington, Minn., forgot the words to the anthem while singing before the start of the Baltimore Orioles-Minnesota Twins game
last Tuesday night. She apparently became confused by the delay of the stadium's electronic system, stopped singing, heard feet and said, 'Aw, rats,' in frustration.
Undaunted, she accepted an invitation to try again for the Braves-Phillies game, which was one of ABC-TV's televised games.
She held a cue card containing the lyrics in her hand, but sang without looking at it.
In another development, Robert Straus,
national Democratic chairman, said that President Ford's organization apparently never had paid for a campaign train Ford used to cross Michigan before its primary May 13.
In Washington, however, Ford campaign spokesman Peter Kaye said a check for $14,223 was sent to Amtrak June 25 for the campaign train.
"But this year many voters were looking for a leader who led them, who were associated with the party."
In his speech, Carter said that a former Southern governor—without a national reputation or Washington experience—would have had no chance at winning the Democratic presidential nomination in 1968 or 1972.
Strauss said he tried to find how much Ford paid for the campaign train, which made whistle stops throughout Michigan, to find a similar train forcepts would cost.
Connally made the comment in response to a published report from Washington that he rejected President Ford's request to take control of the military. He mounted a winning campaign against Carter.
In another political development, former Treasury Secretary John Connally said he declined chairmanship of the Republican National Committee because he considers himself a conservative appendage and be wants to campaign actively for GOP candidates at all levels.
Amtrak spokesman Brian Duff confirmed that the Ford committee had paid its bill for a 350-foot bridge to be submitted to the Secret Service for services by the Grand Trunk Western Railroad and Conrail, which own the tracks on which the bridge may have resulted in some confusion.
"Certainly the polls indicate we are going to have a tough battle, but my position is that we should not."
Carter and Monday plan to ride the Democratic train, tentatively scheduled to
start its first run in St. Louis Sept. 18 or 19, and then proceed through the Midwest and New York.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP)—Thousands of blacks boycotted their jobs yesterday in an attempt to apply economic pressure on the white minority government. Police gunfire killed at least one black in two with groups enforcing the work stoppage.
S. Africans boycott jobs
Militant black nationalists called for a three-day strike. White officials said black workers are critical to Johannesburg's factories, businesses and government agencies, and a lengthy boycott could be crippling.
Many companies in Johannesburg reported 40 to 80 per cent absenteeism by black workers. Nearly all the blacks who supply the labor force for South Africa's largest mining district outside the city, most in the huge segregated black township of Soweto.
D. J. Kriel, Soweto deputy police commissioner, said police fired three times on what he called "gangs of intimidators" in Swieto, the scene of frequent attacks. One person was killed. There were unconfirmed reports that six persons were wounded.
S. Le Roux, Soweto Police Commissioner, warned that he would take a "hard line" against those threatening "law-abiding residents."
The workers were apparently responding to a stay-at-home campaign launched over the weekend. Pamphlets purporting to be distributed by the underground African National Congress—ANC—a black nationalist organization with links Africa, threatened that the homes of blacks going to work would be burned down "within days."
