    But the Rhodesian tangle marks the greatest contradiction between
Thatcher and Carter's African experts, led by United Nations
Ambassador Andrew Young. Thatcher rejected post-election pressures
originating not in Carter's White House but in Young's office and the
State Department's African bureau. These pressures sought to preserve
the discredited ''Anglo-American plan'' authored by the Labor
government.
    Indeed, there was anger not only at 10 Downing Street but in the
British foreign office -- more disciplined and less ideological
--over Carter's technically accurate but highly misleading statement
about the vote that approved the new Rhodesian constitution. Carter,
taking the lead from his African advisers, said on June 7 that ''only
60 percent'' of the whites ''supported the new constitution.'' That
formulation -- ''only 60 percent'' -- sought to minimize support for
the constitution and Bishop Muzorewa's victory in the widely-hailed
April general election.
    In fact, the constitutional balloting, with only whites eligible to
vote, produced a ''yes'' vote of 85 percent (in a turnout of more
than 71 percent). Carter's aides ratcheted that 85 percent down to 60
percent by adding the entire 29 percent who did not vote onto the
negative column, a device that would give Carter himself only 27
percent of the vote in 1976. ''Can't they do simple arithmetic in the
White House?'' one top-level Thatcher official complained to us.
    It was not a matter of simple arithmetic, but an American propaganda
effort that backfired at 10 Downing Street. Thatcher has now used
conservative Republican Sen. Jesse Helms to convey to President
Carter her refusal to extend sanctions beyond their November
expiration date. She spent 50 minutes with Helms in an unpublicized
July 4 meeting in London; Helms never got close to a Labor government.
    Carter understands what has happened at 10 Downing Street. He is
likely to follow Thatcher's lead in the former British colony.
Whether he does or not, Thatcher is one woman not interested in the
woman's prerogative to change her mind.

PM-CARTER
By JEREMIAH O'LEARY
c. 1979 Washington Star
    WASHINGTON - President Carter continues the process of rebuilding
his Cabinet and senior staff Thursday with some key persons already
in place and the announcement of some departures expected before the
president leaves for Camp David Friday for the weekend.
    White House sources said that Carter, having obtained a free hand
granted him by the mass-resignation offers Tuesday, has decided to
give the vulnerable officials time to make their own announcements to
avoid having their departures announced for them by the White House.
    There has been no hard evidence of which officials will go, other
than Energy Secretary James Schlesinger's indication that he would be
departing as early as Christmas. Attorney General Griffin Bell
indicated before the staff shake-up that he is ready to return to
private life.
    Much speculation has centered on Joseph Califano, secretary of the
Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and Treasury Secretary
W. Michael Blumenthal as the most vulnerable to having their
resignations accepted.
    Presidential assistant Hamilton Jordan, the 34-year-old Georgian who
is firmly in place as White House chief of staff, already has begun
interviewing individuals who will assist him in his new
responsibilities.
    Prominently mentioned for the key position of deputy chief of staff
is Les Francis, who is an assistant to White House congressional
liaison officer Frank Moore.
    One of Jordan's first actions in his new job was to distribute
several hundred forms to Cabinet members and the senior staff
officials for them to evaluate their high-ranking subordinates.
    Some of the questions are: ''How mature is this person?'' ''How
stable is this person?'' ''How bright is this person?'' Jordan set a
deadline of Friday for the evaluations to be done.
    Press secretary Jody Powell, in announcing Jordan's new role
Wednesday, said Jordan would function virtually on the same level as
Vice President Walter Mondale.
    The White House staff was told that Jordan's decisions should be
treated as if they were the president's own. Carter and Jordan spent
much of Wednesday talking to the Cabinet and the staff about the new
system.
    Besides Jordan, another Carter aide who will have an enhanced role
is Stuart Eizenstat, assistant to the president for domestic affairs,
whose memo to Carter may have sparked Carter's ''domestic summit'' at
Camp David.
    The administration also has stressed that the top national defense
officials are in no danger of losing their jobs. They are Secretary
of State Cyrus Vance, Defense Secretary Harold Brown and national
security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski.
    Two high-ranking members of the administration were known to have
gone to the White House Wednesday: Patricia Harris, secretary of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Ambassador Robert
Strauss.
    But high-level White House sources said the Harris visit to the Oval
Office should not be interpreted as meaning that she is one of the
Cabinet officers on the so-called ''hit list.''
    One White House source said that Harris and Andrew Young, Carter's
ambassador to the United Nations who was lectured by the president
Tuesday for his outspokenness, are likely to remain for the last year
and a half of Carter's administration.
    Strauss likewise is perceived to be in no danger of being dropped.
On the contrary, there has been speculation that Strauss may take on
an even more important role, perhaps as successor to Schlesinger,
though such speculation has not been confirmed.
    Strauss, who is both the special trade negotiator and the Middle
East peace negotiator, said as he entered the White House Wednesday
that what is happening is an orderly process, not a crisis.
    ''This is not one of those Saturday night massacres,'' said Strauss,
adding that he believed that the press was misrepresenting the
situation by reporting events in crisis terms.

BC-SAFIRE COLUMN 2takes
(COMMENTARY)
(REPEATING FROM FILE OF JULY 18)
ESSAY: Tricks Of The Trade
By WILLIAM  1/4IRE
c. 1979 N.Y. Times News Service
    WASHINGTON - In a flurry of speeches and background massages to
newsmen, Jimmy Carter accused the American people of being
self-indulgent, materialistic and morally dispirited. This from the
man who promised to provide ''a government as good as the people.''
     In this first week of nnmpaignin for renomination in 1980, he
came down from the mountain with a hatful of tricks:
    1. The following leadership trick With his support eroding, he
reached back for his 1976 campaign gimmick: Make a show of
''listening to the people.'' This costs nothing and shows respect.
    The point of the long buildup was that he was a good listener, which
is to say he would do what most people wanted. He then came before us
to say ''I will lead.'' But that is the opposite of leadership:
That's followership. The trick is to call that leadership.
     The can't-lick-'em,-join-'em trick. He apologized for his 30
months of failure (''mixed sucess'') and offeered this alibi: That he
had been too busy ''managing the government'' to lead the people. But
if you would lead a nation, you must show some talent at managing it:
Most Americans have concluded that he has not been good at that.
    Carter will even join in that criticism, too: With much fanfare he
has elicited the mass resignations of his administration. And in
front of a gaping Cabinet, he has finally given a tongue-lashing to
Ambassador Andrew Young. Thus, he shifts the blame for his own
mismanagement to his aides, with whom he was supposedly so busy
managing the government instead of leading. (Neither Stansfield
Turner of CIA nor William Miller of the Fed, his most disappointing
appointments, were included in ''the Tuesday Morning Massacre.'') As
one wag puts it: ''They're serving Kool-Aid in the White House
Mess.''3. The switch-the-target trick. With pollster Caddell holding
the
weathervane aloft at Camp David, the president diagnosed a ''crisis
of the spirit'' and did for the French word ''malaise'' what Henry
Kissinger did for ''detente.''
    But the ''crisis'' is not of the nation's spirit, it is of the
Carter administration's eptitude. The American people have not lost
confidence in themselves; they have lost confidence in Carter. The
way he turned that around was neat.
    4. The satisfying non-sacrifice trick. People like to be called on
to make sacrifices in general, which is ennobling, but when the
sacrifice is specified, it becomes unfair. The president could have
stimulated U.S. oil production by removing the price controls that
subsidize waste, or - if the ''crisis'' is as severe as he says it is
- could have cut demand by rationing.
    But that would have meant specific sacrifice by real people, rather
than satisfying non-sacrifice. He took the route least likely to
upset anybody. He appointed a committee (or ''board'') to ''cut
through red tape,'' which draws applause until the tape turns out to
be the clean air law.
    5. The timid boldness trick. ''We will protect our environment,'' he
intoned forcefully, and 65 million viewers leaned forward to hear
what he would do about nuclear power. Silence; that was too
controversial. Next day, when fewer people were listening, he put in
a line in its favor. The trick to this oxymoron is never to be timid
in using a strong voice to say the word ''bold.''

PM-YOUNG
By PHIL GAILEY
c.1979 Washington Star
    WASHINGTON - President Carter rebuked Andrew Young at Tuesday's
Cabinet meeting for having repeatedly embarrassed his administration,
according to one of those present at the meeting.
    The lecture given to Young, the U.S. Ambassador to the United
Nations, was the only lengthy reprimand, though Carter briefly
criticized at least two others present, it was learned.
    The Cabinet meeting, during which all members offered Carter their
resignations to give him a free hand in restructuring his
administration, was also highlighted by what sources called ''a
tirade'' against the ''Washington mentality'' that does not
understand what ''the real America is all about'' and against the
Washington press corps.
    Carter reportedly commplained that Washington reporters twisted his
words and asked narrow questions of little interest to people outside
Washington. He is said to have remarked that he plans to hold more
news conferences outside Washington where the questions, in his view,
come closer to reflecting the concerns of ordinary Americans.
    One participant recollected Carter saying he would never hold
another Washington press conference, although another Cabinet member
disputed that interpretation.
    A White House official called this insider's account of the Cabinet
session ''irresponsible and full of lies.''
    The official told United Press International, ''I was there. He did
not launch a tirade against Washington. He did not tongue-lash Andrew
Young. He did not say he would never have another Washington press
conference. It is not true.''
    Hamilton Jordan, the new White House chief of staff, was the only
presidential aide who attended the Cabinet meeting.
    The lengthy attack on Young did not appear to be premediated or
angry, according to several participants.
    It came after Young attempted to say something. He was interrupted
by the president, who recited a catalog of instances in which he felt
the U.N. ambassador had embarrassed him with injudicious public
statements.
    Among the statements that have caused widespread criticism of Young
were his charge in 1977 that Britain was the most racist country in
history, that Americans are ''paranoid about a few communists'' in
Africa and that Arab hatred of Jews reminded him of the hatred of the
Ku Klux Klan for blacks.
    More recently, Young has said that there were ''hundreds and perhaps
even thousands'' of political prisoners in the United States, a
charge he later withdrew after Carter publicly reprimanded him.
    Carter abruptly halted the reprimand after several minutes,
apparently feeling he had gone too far, according to reports.
    He then expressed his gratitude for some of the things Young had
done, stating in particular that there are many nations in the world
that are closer to the United States than ever before because of
Young's diplomatic efforts.
    On the whole, he told Young, his contributions outweighed any
problems he has caused the administration.
    Administration sources said that there is no danger of Young losing
his job. In fact, they say the president still has a strong personal
attachment to the ambassador, and vice versa.

AM-Civiletti Profile,380
By MIKE FEINSILBER
Associated Press Writer
    WASHINGTON (AP) - Benjamin Civiletti, who doesn't often smile in
public, smiled broadly Thursday when someone asked him at a news
conference if he was Griffin Bell's ''clone.''
    No, he then replied gravely, he is a man ''of no flamboyance at all
and little humor.''
    Civiletti, 44, No. 2 man at the Justice Department, was nominated
Thursday by President Carter to become No. 1 man, succeeding Bell as
attorney general.
    He came to the government from Baltimore, where he was with the law
firm of Venable, Baetjer & Howard which, with 90 lawyers, is the
largest in the state.
    Jacques T. Schlenger, managing partner in the Baltimore firm,
recalled Thursday that when Civiletti drops by the firm from time to
time, ''the young lawyers all crowd around him.''
    ''He gave many of them a chance to prove themselves, and they don't
forget that,'' Schlenger said.
    Civiletti came from Maryland's largest law firm to the Justice
Department as head of the criminal division and handled such difficult
assignments as the Korean influence-buying investigation and the
investigation of allegedly illegal break-ins, wiretaps and
mail-openings by the FBI.
    He made such a strong impression that Bell nominated him as his
deputy when the job opened up.
    If confirmed, he will be one of the few recent attorneys general to
have had experience as a federal prosecutor. He was an assistant U.S.
attorney in Baltimore before joining the law firm.
    Civiletti's family - his wife, Gaile, and their three children,
Benjamin, 19, Andrew, 17, and Lynne, 13 - continue to live in
Baltimore and Civiletti returns there on weekends.
    But he found the crush of work so demanding in Washington that he
took an apartment in the city to spare himself the long commute.
    Schlenger says Civiletti could not be considered a workaholic in the
sense that work is the only thing of importance to his life - ''he
takes intense pride in the achievements of his children,'' he said.
But Civiletti works hard.
    He could be described, the former associate said, as the type of
person who gets to work early, eats lunch at his desk and leaves late
with a briefcase crammed with work.
