Nixon Will Ask Bunker to Remain as Viet Envoy NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Nixon said today he has decided to ask Ellsworth Bunker to remain U.S, ambassador to South Vietnam, believing that “at this time a change in ambassadors would not be wise.” ^ The president-elect disclosed that decision as he announced the selection of three top deputies to Secretary of State-designate William P. Rogers. The choice: * . • Eliiot L. Richardson, 48, now attorney general of Massachusetts, to be undersecretary of state. • U. Alexis Johnson, 60, now am- bassador to Japan, as undersecretary of state for political affairs. • Richard F. Pedersen, 43, deputy U. S. representative at the U.N. Security Council, to be counselor of the State Department. TO MEET BUNKER Nixon assigned Ambassador Johnson to go to Saigon and to talk with Bunker about the request that he remain in his post during the new administration. Nixon did not say for what period of time he wishes Bunker to remain. But he said he had decided today to ask that the ambassador continue. ★ * Johnson, who will return to Japan, then visit South Vietnam, said he planned to discuss the details with Bunker there. “We believe that at this time a change in ambassadors would not be wise,” Nixon said. He did not elaborate, but it was evident that the current peace talk efforts were a factor in that judgement. Nixon indicated that he has not yet discussed the matter with Bunker. Nixon said Rogers, who was at his side during the announcement of the State Department choices, had recommended each man. “I completely share his evaluation of each of these men,” Nixon said. Nixon said the State Department needs the biend of new men like Rogers and Richardson and experienced diplomatic veterans like Johnson and Pedersen. ★ ★ ★ Richardson, once assistant secretary of health, education and welfare, has had no State Department experience. 4 Cyclists Guilty in Terror Case Four Oakland County motorcyclists who inflicted a nightlong ride 'of rape, injury and terror on two young couples pleaded guilty in Oakland County Circuit Court yesterday. * James R.

WASHINGTON UP) - Adam Clayton Powell, the cocky and often criticized Democrat from New York’s Harlem, is a member of the House again — but under orders to have his pay docked by $25,000. He also was stripped of seniority built up during 11 terms as a congressman. The House came to this conclusion yesterday after a five-hour wrangle — which was itself the culmination of a two-year hassle over Powell’s status. He was excluded from the past Congress by House vote, after an investigating committee charged him with misuse of more than $40,000 in public funds — mainly by puttUig his nonworking wife on the payroll and by permitting private trips to be paid out of committee funds. Since then, his constituents reelected him twice — once in a special election and again last November. Powell took the oath of office after the resolution to seat him with the punishment condition attached had been adopted. But later, at a news conference, he replied to ail questions about paying the fine by saying “I’ll see my lawyer.” At the same time, Powell said he was represented at a conference of leaders that worked out the compromise to seat him.
