Russian-Built Cambodian Missiles Turn Back American Aircraft
PHINOM PENH, Cambodia—Rebel forces fired Russian-built-heat-seeking missiles Monday against American jets flying in support of government troops south of Phnom Penh, though none of the U.S. planes was hit. It was the first reported instance of SAF Strella missiles being used in Cambodia against American planes since the Communist-led insurgency began last year. The U.S. Navy has been using the planes as Khmer Rouge insurgents advanced against government positions. The U.S. fighter-bombers broke off their mission in the face of the Strelta threat.
Bill Halting Bombing Passed
WASHINGTON — The House all but completed a cutoff by Congress of all funds for the U.S. bombing in Cambodia. It should approve of the Senate-passed cutoff after dramatically rejecting on a tie a proposal to delay the cutoff until Sept. 1. President Nikon will have 10 days after he receives the bill containing the cutoff to either approve or deny it. At 11 a.m., spokesman Gerald L. Warren noted the administration had strongly opposed the legislation but said he would "withhold comment on what the President may do."
Black Calls Kelley 'Insensitive'
WASHINGTON—The Senate Judiciary Committee heard conflicting testimony about Kansas City Police Chief Clarence M. Kelley, nominated to be FBI Director. Bruce R. Watkins, a black civil rights leader, pictured Kelley as insistent to the rights of blacks and the poor. But Everett P. O'Neal, another Kansas City black, predicted Kelley would make an excellent director of the FBI Watkins called him to investigate cases of homicide in the deaths of 6 blacks in the 1968 Kansas City riots following Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination.
A decision on Kelley's nomination is expected today.
Wichita Wants School of Law
WICHTA-The Wichita Area Chamber of Commerce announced today it would urge the Kansas Board of Regents to consider establishing a law school at Wichita State University. "The Wichita chamber believes the Board of Regents may find that the KU School of Law does not present satisfy all of the legitimate demands for legal education," said Robert Laing, chairman of the chamber's education committee. The University of Kansas accepts less than 200 out of approximately 1,500 applicants each year, he said.
Med Center to Get $1 Million
WASHINGTON—Grants of about $1.5 million to medical facilities in Kansas were announced through the state's Congressional delegation. The University of Kansas School of Medicine will receive $1,191,507. The School of Pharmacy will receive $79,835. The College of Kentucky State University will receive $623,980. The money comes from a grant program established to improve the quality of such schools.
Protestant Becomes Irish Head
DUBLIN—Erskeil Childs, an English-born Protestant with an American mother, has taken office as Ireland's president and has been a member of the United Nations politician, is committed to reconciliation with British-rules Northern Ireland. He has suggested calling an all-Ireland conference to promote understanding. But much of the north's Protestant majority remains Catholic, mainly Catholic Irish republic, even with a Protestant as president.
Market Gets Watergate Blues
NEW YORK—The stock market took a steady downhill ride in light trading as the resumption of Senate hearings apparently rekindled Wall Street's waries over Watergate. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrial stocks slumped 10.69 to 869.13, its lowest since mid-Member 1971. Some analysts said the Watergate hearings testimony of John W. Dean III, the ousted White House counsel, appeared to be dominating the market. Other observers, however, cited persistent economic worries as well.
Brezhnev Begins French Talks
PARIS–Leonid B. Ibrezneh and President Georges Pompidou of France start a round of discussions today in which the Soviet leader is expected to assure the French the U.S.-Soviet cooperation does not mean U.S.-Soviet domination. It is expected that beyond explaining how the Soviet leadership is asked to reaffirm that France will not be eased aside because of the better atmosphere between Moscow and Washington and Bonn.
And Now the Heat's Off
A partly cloudy day is forecast for Lawrence and it's going to cool down quite a bit through the spring. The thundershowers may send people scutting for shelter, but there seems no indication of really good weather. Another cool night, with better weather expected tomorrow,
Watergate Takes Dramatic Turn
Dean Implicates President
WASHINGTON (AP)—John W. Dean III testified Monday that President Nikon was involved in the Watergate affair and ignored or failed to understand his repeated warnings about "a cancer growing on the presidency" that could destroy Nikon.
"When the facts come out," Dean said as he read a day-long, uninterrupted recitation of his own complicity, "I hope the President is forgiven."
Thus began the first testimony at the Senate Watergate hearings to point directly to presidential involvement in the cover-up of the Democratic Party breakin', the incident that touched off the explosive White House scandal.
LAST SEIT. 15, when 7 men were indicted for the Watergate break-in, Dean said he received congratulations from the press after G. Gordon Liddy, the former legal counsel to G. Gordon Liddy, the former legal

Dean's Story Is Told Amid Quiet Tones
WASHINGTON (AP)—There were, to be sure, a few special touches-of, affirmation, of loyalty yet lingering; and of sorrow-in, when it happened. Wesley Dean III solicited no sympathy.
Shattered as his life may be, the former White House counsel kept his voice as dispassionate to that of the proper servant, and he is one of the few Americans mansion had betrayed the nation's trust.
He told the truth—"So help me God," he said—and that was about the only spontaneity in his day of revelation by recitation.
Even his initial comment that "I hope the President will be forgiven" for his involvement in the Watergate affair was one he had scribbled on the cover of a prepared
Dean entered the Caucus Room accompanied by three bodyguards, two of whom had been with him.
They sat together one row back of the witness table, waiting for what surely was the most interminal quarter-hour of their lives as the standing-room audience gawked, pointed and whispered. But John Dean did not flinch.
Finally, Chairman Sam J. Ervin Jr. rapped his gaval and major counsel Sam Dash took the microphone to say "Mr. Dean, I understand you have a statement."
And Mr. Dean certainly did.
counsel to the President's re-election and finance committees.
"I left the meeting with the impression that the President was well aware of what had been joined on regarding the success of the mission," he said. "The Watergate scandal, Watergate scandal," Dean said. "I also had expressed to him my concern that I was not confident that the cover-up could be completed."
until he was fired April 30, said, however:
"IT'S MY HONEST belief that while the President was involved, that he did not realize or appreciate at any time the importance of this."
Dean, who was Nixon's official lawyer until he was fired April 30, said, however:
Others had pointed to Dean as a key member of the conspiracy to hide official involvement, as the convoy of executive officials was known to keep the Watergate defendants silent.
Dean's version, essentially, was that he did not know about the June 17 Watergate attack, which he said was the center of cover-up activities but did nothing with inconvenience of H.R. Holderman, the President's chief of staff, and John D. Erlichman, his principal aide for domestic intelligence.
DEAN'S STORY was one of trying to get the White House to admit the truth and that attackers were real.
"I thought it was time for surgery on the cancer itself and that all those involved must stand up and account for themselves in front of him, himself get out in front on this matter."
But, he said, Nixon did not understand. Eventually, said Dean, Halderman and Ehrlichman realized "I... could present a serious problem to them." He saw they were interested most in protecting themselves.
He said the two presidential aides
evolved a plan to have John Mitchell take the blame and by mid-April "the theory that had been discussed . . . was becoming the policy; if Mitchell takes the rap the public will have a high level person and be satisfied and the matter will end."
It took Dean nearly 6 hours to read his statement and questioning by the senators when he arrived.
DEAN SAID THAT Nixon told him on Feb. 27 that his chief aides, H. R. Haleman and John Ehrlichman, "were principals in the matter."
Dean quoted the President as saying of a clemency offer to one of the Watergate defendants that it would be no problem to raise up to $1 million in hash money.
That was six weeks before the President
Not until April 30 did Nixon announce the resignations of Halderman and Ehrlichman.
announced "major developments in the case."
THE FORMER WHITE House lawyer said vigorous efforts were undertaken to hide White House ties to the break-in and named the chief participants as:

U.S., Soviets Pledge Real Peace Efforts
SAN CLEMENTE (AP) -- President Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev pledged in a summit-ending communique Monday to press for rapid settlement of issues that have divided Europe along cold war lines for nearly three decades.
The 3,400-word document, issued as Brezhnev left the United States, raised the possibility of a supersummit of American, Soviet and European leaders, perhaps within a year, to conclude a major East-West settlement.
The communique also contained Nixon-birehnev promises to step up work on the war effort.
encourage peace in Cambodia and to expand U.S.-Soviet trade.
Presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger also called the summit a success. At a news conference, Kissinger said extensive advance preparations insured its success.
NIXON SAID his week of talks with the general secretary of the Soviet Communist party held the promise of "peace for all the people of the world." Brezhnev agreed, saying their sessions meant "political beating" being backed up by military detente.

Area grocery store managers said Saturday they expected some products to fall off the market if President Nixon's newest price freeze continued.
Celery, potatoes, coffee, milk, cheese and Celery, poultry were among products mentioned as being used in the recipe.

were not frozen and the wholesaler's were,
there was already a shortage of celery, and
they hadn't stocked it.
Milk, cheese and poultry markets have not shown any indications of future shortages as yet, but they may follow a pattern similar to that of potatoes. Doss said.
"If there is going to be a major shortage, the consumer will not find out for six months." Doss said. "At that time, the present cycle of canned and packed products that may be affected by the ice freeze will be delivered to the stores."
Using coffee prices as an example,
Delmas Windholz, store manager of
Dillon's, 1312 W. 6th, explained the
wholesaler's predicament.
"The wholesaler couldn't sell at a loss. Therefore, he would be to stop buying coffee, and the stores would be unable to receive the product."
"If the wholesaler had the price of coffee frozen at $1.07 and the store was frozen at $1.12, Windside said, "what would happen if I bought a cheaper charge more than $1.07 for their coffee?"
Most of the Lawrence store managers agree on the following aspects of the present
The present price freeze is not extremely different from the last price freeze
The present price freeze was overdue and seems to be necessary
—Areas other than food should also be frozen.
According to Windholz, the government should have kept the last price freeze going until the end of 2014.
As example of the rapid changes in food prices, Bruce Oppenlander, grocery department manager of Dillon's, 1740 Massachusetts, said over 180 changes had occurred in price listings from June 1 to June 13.
Tom Motmas, acting manager of Safeway, 711 W. 23rd, said that food prices may be going up, but by comparing figures of food prices to other prices, one would see that one was getting a relatively good price on foods.
Mouts said eggs would be $1.65 per dozen.
If the price increased the same percentage
over time, would it increase or decrease?
"I cannot understand why people are against price freezing," Windholz said. The lower-wage earners are the ones that work the worst when the price freezes are lifted.
Kissinger said, however, that the two leaders spent three hours Saturday night discussing the "unfinished agenda" of a summit in Oslo and a reunion summit next year in Moscow.
Store manager Jack Leckerman at Falley's Gibson Discount Foods, 2525 Iowa, said that if the President was going to freeze the price of foods, he should freeze everything, "right straight across the board."
Ceiling prices have been listed at each of the stores and are available for examination by customers at the stores' offices or courtesy booths.
As he left California Sunday, Breshnym indicates that he expected the new Moscow airport to be ready by mid-October.
HE SAID those issues included the Middle East, arms limitation agreements and mutual balanced force reductions in Europe.
Kissinger said such an early meeting was unlikely, although he acknowledged one might be held if an interim agreement on arms limitations was worked out.
KU Pathologist Exasperated; AMA Gets Bill
Dr. Nichols said he had spent 650 hours in the past six years handling trash mail that he said he received as the result of being listed in the association's directory.
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP)—Dr. John M. Nichols, a pathologist at the University of Chicago, says he was trying for 18 years to get the American Medical Association to remove his name from its directory. Finally, on Monday, he sued the AMA for $40 million.
At $50 an hour, he figures the AMA owes him $32,500. He also asked for a $100,000 penalty from the AMA, plus court costs and attorney's fees.
last year, Dr. Nichols was refused access to federally-held evidence in President John F. Kennedy's death. Dr. Nichols sought authority to determine whether a bullet that passed through Kennedy's neck and the bullet casings were from his governor, was composed of the same metal as three tiny metal fragments removed from Connally's wrist.
He proposed to submit the materials to a neutron activation test in the University of Kansas nuclear reactor. He contended that if the bullet and the fragments were not completely destroyed, it would Report and the government's single-assassin theory would be disproved.
