Brzezinski said President Carter has resorted to such retaliatory measures as the grain embargo and a boycott of the Moscow Olympics because the United States "cannot continue on a business-as-usual basis." Nixon called 'dishonest' NEW YOHK? Sen. Barry Goldwater says former President Richard M. Nixon is basically dishonest, and "came as close to destroying this country as any one man in that office ever has come." 1 Nixon, who resigned the presidency in 1974 because of the Watergate scandal, "hurt the Republican Party and he hurt America." Goldwater said on CBS's "60 Minutes" Sunday night. The Arizona Republican said he and Nixon worked together a quarter of a century, but that one morning, as the resigned and disgraced former president embarked on his second trip to China, "something came through my mind. Just like in a millisecond. 'This guy's dishonest,' And I said so."

The South Carolina NAACP Conference is urging blacks not to commit themselves for any presidential candidates Saturday when precinct meetings are held to start the Democratic Party nominating process. A statement issued by the NAACP during the weekend said President Carter and the Justice Department have "turned their back on blacks" by failing to push for reapportionment of the South Carolina Senate.

CJprmon ronrprk OK'H CLEMSON ? Clemson University officials have given promoters the green light on rock concerts once again, with the proviso that persons attending the concerts be subject to search for drugs or alcohol. "We're not trying to harass people, but we've got to do what we can to reduce drug abuse," said Bill Mandicott, program director for the school's university union. The university suspended concerts at Littlejohn Coliseum in November because of problems with vandalism and alcohol abuse. The new 10-point policy was drawn up by the University Union Board and approved by the University Cabinet and Dean Walter T. Cox, vice president of academic affairs. Mandicott said the policy calls for anyone entering the coliseum to be checked for bottles or containers of alcohol. He said pocketbooks and bags would probably be searched as well Ex-adjutant general dies COLUMBIA ? Lt. Gen. Robert Lane McCrady, former South Carolina adjutant general, died Monday at the age of 61.

McCrady served as fulltime chief of staff in the Guard's top field organization, the 51st Command Headquarter, from 1960 to 1967. Educator against limits COLUMBIA ?

Elaine Marks, SCEA president, came out against the amendment in an article she wrote for the organization publication "SCEA Emphasis." The amendment, which has several dozen cosponsors in the South Carolina House and Senate, would limit state government spending to the average growth of personal income in the state during the three preceding years. In her article, Ms. Marks said the "New Right" is on the rise in South Carolina. She called the conservative upsurge "The greatest threat in recent years to teachers' job security, peace of mind, and standard of living." HBI A. jfe. a A A JA A. M iBI ,W fiLJW
