Ervin Committee and Cox Subpoena Nixon's Tapes

consistent with what I know to be the truth and what I have stated to be the truth.''
Nixon also reiterated that he intended to address himself publicly on the subject of Watergate "at an appropriate time during the hearings."
It had been expected that Nixon would turn down the Senate Watergate committee's request for the tapes on the basis of prosecutor Cox's office, attached to the Justice Department, is a part of the executive branch and Cox had argued that separation of powers therefore does not apply to him. The department argued that the doctrine does indeed apply.
"If you are an ordinary prosecutor, and thus a part of the executive branch you are subject to the instructions of superiors, up to and including the President, and can assume the position only as an aid if the President sees fit to make them available to you," Wright wrote.
"But quite aside from the consideration just stated, the reason you are seeking these tapes is to use some or all of them for the court and to prove that Production of them to you would lead to their use in the courts, and questions of separation of powers are in the foreword when the most confidential documents of your case were sought for use in the judicial branch."
THE EXISTENCE of the controversial presidential tapes was made public a week

ago when a former White House aide told the Senate committee that Nixon taped most of his face-to-face and telephone conversations in the White House, the Executive Office Building and at the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md.
Since that disclosure it has been reported that Nixon has issued such recording openings.
Cox made his formal request for the tapes in a letter to president counsel J. Fred Buzhardt on July 18. He requested eight specific tapes:

ZURICH (AP) - Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker Americas' Tying. "Aces of Access" to World War II.
The aviation pioneer, who learned to fly "by the seat of my pants," battled the Red Baron's Flying Circus over the fields of France and later helped build Eastern Air Lines into a major company died of heart failure, a hospital spokesman said. Officials in Miami said his wife of 43 years, Adelaide, was at his side. The captain, a former pilot, the hardest is to live," Edward Vernon Rickenbacker once said.
During World War I, when he platooned a filmsy Spad, he shot down and destroyed 26 German aircraft, winning the American "Ace of Airs" title.
His decorations included the Croix de Guerre with four palms the Medal of the Legion of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross with nine oak leaves the Medal of
Merit in World War II and the Medal of Honor.
An Eastern Airlines spokesman said Monday that burial would be in Columbus. The family had requested Adelheid; two sons, David of Upper Montclair McN., J.J, and William of Briarcliff Manor, N.Y.; two brothers Louis of Los Haiti and Erik of Hills Calif.; and five grandchildren.

STRACHAN TESTIFIED that Haldeman instructed him after the Watergate break-in
Sirachan told the committee he was able to tape telephone conversations as early as Jan. 1 last year. Aides Lawrence Higby and Chapin also had that capability, he said.
In response to questions from Sen. Lowell Weicker Jr., R-Corr., Stachan said the White House had a list of 100 Democratic congressmen, primarily from the South, who "would not receive very strong opposition from Republicans."

Strachan also said since most organized labor was supporting the Nixon campaign, financial support was withheld from some Republican candidates.

City, County to Complete Road Repairs by Autumn
Prospects for the completion of maintenance repairs to city and county roads by the end of the summer are good, according to George Williams and Dean Sanderson. Williams is city public works director and Sanderson is county engineer.
Last winter, damage to roads here was three times as great as normal, according to the National Park Service.

Because of higher quality roads, built upon thicker base material, Douglas County fared better than neighboring counties, Sanderson said.

This summer, the county has resealed thirty miles of road and another thirty miles are expected to be completed in three years. The county should also planned reservation rules should be finished
A mile-long stretch of 31st Street between Louisiana Street and Highway 59 is due to be finished by mid-August, weather permitting.
The first mile of the project, between
the intersection and Louisiana Street, was
finished last week.
The street will be used as a by-pass for hard street and should enhance development.
The work consists of applying a two-inch thick overlay to damaged sections of streets. This will seal out moisture and maintain maintenance for 12 to 15 years.
Williams recommends repair projects, which the city commission then accepts or rejects. This year $80,000 has been allotted for repairs to over 30 sections of city streets.
$250,000 from 1972 taxes and levies were used to build 31st Street.
Money spent on city street repairs comes from a state refund from gas tax.
quarter of this year, according to a report issued by the county zoning office.
Another indication that home building in Douglas County seems unaffected by the rising cost of construction is the increase in total amount of mortgages. A report prepared by Sue Neusfetter, county register of deeds, shows that the total amount of mortgages, in millions and home building in Lawrence accounts for most of the expansion.
During March through May this year, $905,150 in permits to build residences and mobile homes were issued. Permits costing $248,000 were issued during the first quarter of this year.
A REAL ESTATE agent attributed the steady growth of Lawrence to its favorable location in relation to Topeka and Kansas. A recent study by the Lawrence was like a suburb of these two cities.
According to the agent, the lending and mortgage rates in Lawrence are better than in larger metropolitan areas. However, government efforts to stabilize the economy have caused interest rates to go up and have made everything more expensive.
He said that there were 66 homes on the market for sale now and that a large number of these homes are being sold.
A city hall official said he thought the over-all picture in this area was still better than it had been.
THE SAME OFFICIAL said that because of the availability of apartments and

duplexes, multi-family dwelling permits were being curtailed. This, however, will not affect people looking for places to live in or near the city, as already gone far ahead of the population.
The problem of inadequate housing, which is common in other communities throughout the nation, is almost nonexistent in this area.
"It's paradoxical that the low income people were placed out there in the perimeter of the city with no public transportation system, no grade schools nearby, inadequate recreational facilities and no shopping center," he said.
Johnson said he thought that it was bad planning that resulted in the construction of a new office building.
According to the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, Lawrence has gained a marked prominence as a model community, having been one of the All-American Cities Context of 1971-72.
WHILE IN THE past growth in Lawrence has been a direct result of University of Kansas expansion, industrial growth and the impact of recreational facilities are present adding their strengths to the generally favorable economic picture.
sterilized men they examined showed signs of a specific antibody normally found in only 2 per cent of the male population circulating in their bloodstreams.
Dr. John Henry, head of the Center's Research team, linked the antibodies to such autoimmune diseases as arthritis, multiple sclerosis and rheumatism. In autoimmune diseases, the body fails to recognize its own tissues and thereby rejects them as if they were foreign matter. The research team determined that did not mean the patient would contract these diseases, though the chances were increased.

appears to have peaked and may now be on the decline. At the same time laparoscopy, a technique for sterilizing women, is on the increase.
The association for Voluntary Sterilization in New York reports that the number of Americans undergoing vasectomy reached a peak in 1971 when an estimated 850,000 men underwent the simple surgical procedure. Using a local catheter, the sperm is extracted from the vas deferens, which carries the sperm. The operation does not affect sexual drive.
Experts say that the decline in vase-tomy's popularity can be traced to the emergence of a simple, less costly method of tubal ligation for women called laparoscopy, as well as the liberalization of laws permitting female sterilization.
REPORTS THAT vasemect may increase the risk of disease also have contributed to the decrease. Last summer, researchers at the State University of New York's upstate Medical Center in Syracuse announced that 75 per cent of the 12
The reason that nothing has ever been done about the machines is that no one has ever contacted a law enforcement agency, said Berkowitz. Also, no proof has ever been available to be brought into court before, he added.
Berkowitz, Douglas County attorney, said that he could remember pinball machines that paid money to winning players as far back as eight years ago in Lawrence.
It is illegal to bet, said Berkowitz, and
it's a crime to use pinball or put in
machine for power.
Players are paid for the amount of games that they win and the amount depends on the number that they have won, said Berkowitz.
Anyone caught playing a pinball machine for money could be arrested for gambling, Berkowitz said, but this has never happened in Lawrence.
Pinball Machine Payoffs Nonexistent, Attorney Says
Three machines were confiscated in Lawrence; two from the Jayhawk Billard Parlor, 719 Mass, and one from Edith's Place, 714 Mass.
There is no proof that pinnibul machines used to paint buildings in immigrant players still work. There's not much evidence. Davies, Rowe
The three machines are now in a cell at the county jail and will be retained for the future.
An investigation is planned concerning the use of those pincail machines, said Berkewan.
He said that there had been no complaints, as yet, on the confiscated pinball machine.
