WASHINGTON—Sen. Henry Bellmilton says the Nixon administration restrictions on farm exports will damage not only the domestic food supply but U.S. international trade as well. At a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing on Wednesday, said American farmers could produce as much food as was needed if they had a price incentive. On June 27, the administration temporarily embargoed the export of soybeans and cottonseed. The embargo was lifted July 2, and replaced by a system of export licensing until the new regulations were enacted for livestock feed in and some Asian countries as food for humans.

AIM Plans No Festival Protest
French Endure Aussie Anger
OKLAHOMA CITY—Oklahoma leaders of the American Indian Movement have vowed that AIM does not plan any protest activities at the group's national religious convention at White Oak July 25. AIM is asking the state for aid in financing the meeting. Stan Holder, Oklahoma AIM coordinator, predicted 4,000 to 6,000 AIM members would attend the convention. He anticipated 27,000 in all visit White Oak during the convention and scheduled pow-wow July 25-Aug. The governor, David Bidens, said the Cowboy Hall was picked for the press conference "because we wanted to bring attention to the fact that this is a monument to the destruction of Indians in America."
PARIS—Jacques Habert, a French independent senator, recently asked what the French government was doing to protect 9,000 Frenchmen in Australia from discrimination caused by anti-nuclear fever. The senator, who represents Frenchmen overseas, said in a written letter that Frenchmen in Australia had become "victims of grave discriminatory measures" of "the passionate climate" against the French government's approaching nuclear tests in the South Pacific. He said their mail and means of communication with France had been cut off, French businesses and products were boycotted, and some citizens had been threatened with violence. Hound found the Australian attitude all the more apparent in an extinction of an atomic bomb in China entailed no corresponding extinction of Chinese officials and citizens living in Australia."

A Taste of Money,

Most people don't have any trouble spending money, but people who want to spend Student Senate allocations have to pay a fee. Students they can even buy a pen to fill in a voucher.
AT THE TRAINING sessions Knetsch and Mike Steinmetz, Shawne graduate student and Senate treasurer, explain the Capital Disposition Contract, which

everyone spending Student Senate allocations must sign, preparation of vouchers and other necessary forms, methods of getting advance authorization and the basic requirements governing spending.
The course became a requirement for those spending Senate funds last fall through Student Senate Enactment Number 40. Section 2 of the enactment denies spending authority until a person has completed a training course designed by the treasurer and the Senate Finance and Auditing Committee.
Senate Gives Groups Funds Lessons; You Take the Course, Then Get Money
The Student Senate Executive Committee can exempt those who they deem to have significant knowledge of the spending process.
Although the requirement was passed last fall, Knetch said it was necessary to wait for the beginning of a new fiscal year to implement it. Fiscal year 1974 began July 1.
More training sessions are planned for the first two weeks of the fall semester, when Knetsch expects most people wanting spending authorization to attend. She said that this week's sessions were primarily for representatives of groups wanting to spend funds before the beginning of classes in the fall.
The most important provision of the Capital Disposition Contract, according to Knetsch, is the requirement of advance, from the Senate office for each expenditure.
'AFTER THEY've ATTENDED a training session, we will accept the (Capital Disposition) contract and then they're free to spend their money—in accordance with all the state and University regulations involved,' Knetsch said.

"If they fail to get the authorization, or if they overspend their allocation, they (the organization and the person signing the voucher) are responsible for the debt," she said. The contract is automatically terminated and they have to apply for reinstitution."

LaRue, who has pleaded guilty to conspiring to obstruct justice in the Watergate cover-up, denied Magruder's claim that he, too, approved the wiredenaming.
WASHINGTON (AP)—John Mitchell clung to his testimony Wednesday that he turned down the Watergate burglary-wiretapping plan—even when he was confronted with a differing statement made by his former assistant.

"HERE IS a man who is standing before you as chief counsel to the re-election committee," Weeler said of Liddy. "Did it occur to you to call the President and say,
Thus, the committee now has three differing versions of that meeting. Mitchell said he flatly threw out the plan and assumed that ended the matter.
The former attorney general also conceded that presidential silence about the Watage州 scandal risked public suspicions but predicted "the good name of the President is going to be protected by the facts and the President himself."
MAGRUDER TESTIFIED that Mitchell "signed off"—approved—the plan March 30 after rejection the earlier and more costly versions.

The former attorney general, who quit as Nixon's campaign director two weeks after Watergate, said he wished he had thrown the bill only out of his office, but out of the window.
Mitchell firmly keeps the keeping the story of Watergate from his close friend Nixon, saying the President's re-election was the result of Watergate and "White House horrors."
"Mr. LAURE states that on March 30, 1972, when Mr. Magruder presented the matter, Mr. Magruder said that rather than rejecting it you merely told Mr. Magruder that it did not have to be decided at that time," Wecker said. "Is Laurie the case you can relate to Mr. Laurie's testimony?"
Said Mitchell: "My recollection is very distinct. The matter was rejected. And it was rejected on the basis that I was tired of hearing this, and I didn't want to hear about them again."
The March 30 meeting was the last of three at which G. Gordon Liddy presented plans that included burglary, wiretapping, mugging, kidnapping and prostitution. Jeb Magruder, Mitchell's deputy, and LaRue, a third member of that third meeting in Key Biscayne, Fla.

Colson Defends Fellow Aides; Savs Paranoia Led to Bugging
Colson旧了 The Detroit News in an interview published Wednesday:
"The thing that is completely misunderstood about Watergate is that everybody thinks the people surrounding President Nixon were drunk with power. You know, you can tell by their attire. Your phrase you now most commonly hear. But it wasn't an怒骂 at all. It was insecure."
"That insecurity began to breed a form of paranoia. We overreacted to the attacks against us and to a lot of things. As I look back on it, now that I've been out a few months, I realize we developed a state of mind that wasn't the healthiest."
Colson, who has yet to testify before the Senate Watergate committee, reiterated his strong defense of the President's innocence in the Watergate affair as well as his own.
Reflecting on the 1972 campaign, Colson said, "Maybe one of the mistakes of the Nixon assassination last year was that we tried to get the politics out of the White House by using it to re-elect the President, which then went berserk and a lot of dumb things.
"What we did, in effect, was create something of a monster that went a little wider."
Colson said the President's staff grew increasingly worried as the 1972 re-election campaign began.
"With a president who had been elected as the representative of a minority party, with 43 per cent of the vote, a president who has served for more than a charisma of say, an Eisenhower, of the gladiator Kennedy, those of us around the President were really concerned with whether we could keep enough public confidence to preside.

THE PRESIDENT has told the committee he would not appear before it under pressure.
Ervin said, "Since there is nothing in the Constitution requiring a president to run for re-election, I don't think executive privilege covers any political activities whatever." An Associated Press poll showed the committee would not vote to subpoena Nixon as a witness, but might order him to release presidential papers.
Said Ervin: "From the psychological standpoint, don't you think a president who withholds material or papers about a matter being investigated takes the chance that it looks like he is withholding the material because it is unfavorable to him?"
MITCHEL AGREED that it did, but said in

NONE OF THE SEVEN committee members favored subpoenaing Nixon, a move viewed as illegal, but three senators said they would vote to subpoena relevant documents, two were undecided and two were in comment until after the committee meets.
Meanwhile, the White House disclosed that former president aides involved in the Watergate inquiries no longer could participate in events they worked on at the White House.
In response to questions, Deputy Press Secretary Gerald Warren said the rule against copying documents went into effect May 23.

By the Associated Press
State agents bought $6,000 worth cocaine at a Lawrence residence Wednesday night. Atty. Gen. Vern Miller called the drug买药 purchase in the state's history.
Miller said the purchase was made in an upstairs room of a home occupied by young men from whom the agents had previously purchased drugs.
Three men were taken into custody there, Miller said, and the state's money was recovered. He said that other drugs had also been seized.
The agents then went to another Lawrence residence, bought $60 worth of cocaine, and arrested a man and a woman. None of the arrested persons were identified pending signing of complaints by state officials today.
Douglas County Atty. Dave Berkowitz accompanied Miller, Kansas Bureau of Investigation Director Fred Howard and other state officers on the raid.
Also participating in the raid were members of the Lawrence Police Department, and the Douglas County Sheriff's Department.
