Romania expands politburo
BELGRADE, Yugelavula—Romania has decreed that Western diplomatic sources in Bucharest yesteryear could the most widespread changes of senior level on the international agenda.
The move enlarges the country's five-man ruling polibutio by four, including the appointment of Elena Cuscescu, wife of President Nicola Cuscescu.
Two members of the party's central committee were appointed deputy prime ministers and a total of 55 senior level officials were appointed deputy prime ministers. Changes also include diplomatic sources said.
"The organizational measures (were) adopted for consolidating . . . the sphere of party and state activity," the official agency Ag佩新 said.
city and state activity, the official new agency supported. The political executive committee, headed by the president, ordered the shuffle of positions. It is the biggest change in senior level positions since the Communists took over after World War II.
Black man gets Bell's nod
WASHINGTON—Drew Days, an attorney with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, is Atty. Gritwin Griffin BF, who will head the Justice Department's civil litigation sources said years ago.
nurses' selection of Days, who is black, appeared to represent a move by the new attorney general to assure black groups of his commitment to vigorous civil rights enforcement. He already has said that he intends to wage Hade McCree Jr., a black and a judge of the court to work with the job of solicitor in the department's third-ranked post.
Bell's nomination had encountered heavy opposition from civil rights groups that charged him with hostility to desegregation when he was an Atlanta lawyer and a federal appeals court judge. Because of this opposition, 21 senators voted against confirming him Tuesday.
Mondale denounces wall
ROME—Vice President Walter F. Mondale flew to Rome yesterday for talks with Italian leaders and Pope Paul VI after visiting West Berlin, where he denounced the wall dividing the city.
"We can only pray that progress will see the day when this kind of wall will disappear and that we will be able to share the values that we cherish, such as peace and democracy."
as president in that inauguration in Italy on the third leg of his 10-day tour of major U.S. allies, the vice president pledged that the cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy must be "close ties" with China.

U.S. rejects Rhodesian plan
WASHINGTON—The United States told Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith yesterday that it would not support his plan to bypass black liberation groups in Rhodesia and that America would not endorse separate negotiations with non-Marxist native groups.
An official State Department spokesman, Frederick Z. Brown, said
"The United States supports the British proposals which the Geneva conference on Rhodesia has been discussing. In our considered view 'the internal solution' will not produce a peaceful settlement and therefore it doesn't have the support of the United States.
"We urge all parties involved in the negotiations to consider their positions carefully and pursue a course which will produce a peaceful outcome."
Sikes loses ethics battle
WASHINGTON (AP)—Proponents of a tough ethics code for members of Congress claimed a major victory yesterday as House Democrats voted to outst Rep. Robert L. F. Sikes of Florida from a key subcommittee chairmanship.
The challenge to Sikes went out of a reprimand given him by the House last year for misuse of influence in certain financial dealings.
Siks lost on a 189 to 93 vote in his effort to keep control of a panel that annually did out millions of dollars for construction of military facilities.
"I'll tell you one thing, you're looking at a very live corpse . . . I've lost an election, but I never been dared." Sikes said yesterday to the crowd outside his office after the caucus vote.
He blamed the defeat on opposition to his advocacy of a strong national defense and
"a growing intolerance for the people who
straight liberal line of the Democratic
Republican Party."
The edge by which Sikes lost in the caucus vote surprised even the most optimistic members of the reform group, which viewed the case as pivotal to its hopes to create a strict code of conduct for legislators this year.
"We thought we would win, but only by a slight difference," said Rep. Max Baucus, D-Mont., who managed caucus debate for the Republican party before first and second-term congressmen.
Sikes, a congressman since 1940, is third-ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee and, as subcommittee chairwoman, was instrumental in raising $3.5 billion annually for construction of military installations, which are important in many congressional districts.
KU BRIDGE CLUB Organizational Meeting
WASHINGTON—President Jimmy Carter said at a press briefing that the Emergency Natural Gas Act he sent Congress yesterday wouldn't end the gas shortage nor reopen any plants closed for lack of fuel.
We will also play bridge. Students and Faculty welcome
Carter said the bill was a "minimum" proposal, designed to avoid difficult and controversial questions—like removing federal controls on the price of natural gas—and so should pass Congress as quickly as possible.

Decontrolling prices, or "deregulation," wouldn't help in the current crisis, said Carter's energy adviser, James R. Schlesinger. It might encourage the oil and gas industry to search for new supplies of gas if other effects would not be felt for several years.
If the winter stays cold through February and March, the emergency powers Carter is asking for would, at best, help him try to keep people from freezing in their hopes.
And if the weather turns warm, said Schlesinger, it might not be necessary for the President to use any of the emergency powers he is asking Congress for.
What Carter wants is authority to do two things:
$2.00
—If a pipeline and its utility customers become so short of gas that they can't supply top-priority users (meaning chiefly homes, hospitals and small businesses), he could order another pipeline that is not yet full, or he could well some of its gas to the system in trouble.
DAILY DINNER SPECIAL
- If an intrastate pipeline (now free from federal control) could help ease a shortage by transferring gas from one interstate pipeline to another, or from an interstate pipeline to a local distribution company, he could order it to do so.

He could also, under his proposal, approve emergency purchases of gas by the state, and outside the normal ones for the interstate system, which would principally be those gas producers that have in the past sold only within the state where their wells were in operation.
Such emergency purchases, outside the regulated interstate system, could

TOKYO (AP) - Kakuei Tanaka, a former prime minister, goes on trial today charged with taking turbines in the Lockheed payoff room that has rocked Japan's political world.
Tanaka, 56, is accused of having received $1.7 million in bribes from the Lockheed Aircraft Corp. through its agent in Japan, the Marubeni Trading Company, to pay an employee in cash in the country. He also is charged with violations of foreign currency regulations.
theoretically be made at any price. But Schleinger said the White House would keep a sharp eye on high-prize transactions, and the proposed bill would give the President authority to cancel any sales when he thought the price was too steep.
Carter and Schlesinger said they hoped Congress would act quickly on the legislation, because quick action would be needed to prevent critical shortages if extremely cold weather continued through the next two months.
Carter said the only action that could alleviate the crisis enough to permit reopening of some industrial plants that were now shut down would be for every gas consumer to set his thermostat at 65 degrees Fahrenheit. That would wipe out half the shortage and "put thousands of Americans back to work," he said.
Schlesinger said the Federal Energy Administration now estimates that 4,000 plants had been shut down and about 400,000 persons had been laid off because of the gas shortage. The hardest hit state, he said, is California, where governments have been burglured from their jobs.
Also affected are Ohio, Georgia, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi. Schlesinger said he didn't have employment estimates for those 13 states.
