Nixon’s political operator,

Apparently Dodd has escaped
criminal prosecution, but he
received the verdict of his
constituents on Nov. 3. The
people of Connecticut, who gave
him 64 per cent of their votes six
years ago, gave him only 24 per
cent this year. He ran a poor
third in the three-way Senate

SAN FRANCISCO (NEA)
In the flood of memories collected through seven weeks
of campaigning in 10 states and across thousands of miles,
I remember best no searing issue and no celebrated candi-
date but a young Mexican-American I met in Chicago.
He was the cab driver who picked me up at Chicago’s
airport and drove me 25 miles to my destination. He proved
to be a most remarkable fellow, cheerful, buoyant, charged
with energy, defiantly hopeful in an age where so much
hopelessness is voiced.
This stocky lad had pulled himself away from the rela-
tive quiet of a ranch in the Texas Panhandle and plunged
into the seemingly unmanageable chaos of a modern great
city. Yet all he could see in the change was promise.
That very week, some of his youthful counterparts, styl-
ing themselves “Brown Berets,” were breaking up an east
Los Angeles rally for Democratic senatorial nominee Rep
John V. Tunney-wrecking his car, beating up an aide, en-
dangering the candidate himself.
My young friend had other ideas. He drove a cab well
into the evening hours. He loved the varied contacts with
people. Then he went home each night and read for hours,
while most of us would be sleeping. He read everything he

Alaska Oil: Major
Detour to Market
Some disappointing news for romantics.
All those glowing hopes for the imminent realization of
an age-old dream-the opening of the fabled Northwest
passage.to commerce—are going back on th« shelf, at least
IOF 3WD116.
The oil company, Humble, which financed the trail-
blazing voyage of the combination tanker-icebreaker Man-
hattan last fall, now says it is suspending further efforts to
develop the sea route across the top of the continent as a
means of moving Alaskan oil to market.
W hile the decision to put the Northwest Passage back on
ice may dash great expectations in some quarters, it at
least has the advantage of also taking the heat off several
potentially sticky questions raised by prospects of ships in
any considerable number plying the frigid channels off
diction 8 northern coasts, primarily the question of juris-
.Ottawa has already laid claim by extending its terri.
torial.water limit to}2 miles, effectively taking in the pas-
sage but drawing a demurrer from Washington which, for
good reasons of national economics in this case, declines
tog0 flong with national encroachments on the high seas
beyond the tiaditional three-mile limit.
. Notthe least part of Ottawa’s concern has been the pro.
tectionof the Arctic environment. Tanker traffic would
mean Ppllution, possibly oil leaks which could have disas-
trous effects. Development of the Northwest Passage was
logicalhaterestP as 3 conflict between economic and eco-
than nically. owev r, _ u s OUt, it is economics rather
than.ecology which is now blocking the passage. To build
the huge tankers ( 250,000-tons and up) envisaged in U.S
shipyards, as required by federal law for ships engaged in
domestis trade, would be so costly—estimates run up to
880 million per tanker—that the economic advantage of
moving Alaskan oil by water vanishes.
i The.result is increased emphasis on the projected pipe-
line that would cut 800 miles across Alaska from Prudhoe
Bay in the heart of the North Slope oil fields to ice-free
Port Valdez east of Anchorage, from where oil would be
moved to market by conventional tankers.
Plans for the pipeline are well-advanced, with pipe al-
ready stockpiled along the surveyed route. But again there
arefearsfor the environment. Slicing through the northern
tundra to lay the pipe, conservationists say, could cause
far-reaching and possibly irreparable damage to the Alas-
kan landscape and wildlife.
nSoagain it comes down to a question of ecology vs. eco-

As we parted, he said:
“I cannot tell you what you have done for me. It is one
of the best things that has ever happened to me.”
Against him, with his relentless pursuit of knowledge
his absolute refusal to complain and decry, the politicians
I watched generally seemed pale in spirit. The young cop
outs from the “system” looked like empty shells.
With this nation and the world in an incredible crisis ot
bewilderment about almost everything important to life
the American politics of 1970 was unbelievably dull (with a
few exceptions) and so were most of the candidates.
Democrats too often sounded like old New Dealers chid
ing the Republicans for economic failures. Their scurry
for the center on the law-and-order issue, flags flying in
their lapels, was embarrassing. Republicans seemed bent
on winning by dwelling on gripes and fears. Nobody found
even the glimmerings of the kind of new faith my young
Mexican-American deserves to help spur on him and mil
lions of others.
