Ervin's Questioning Brings New Demands
WASHINGTON (AP)—Maurice H. Stans testified Wednesday it was "pure and innocent coincidence" that financial records of President Nixon's reelection campaign were destroyed shortly after the Watergate raid.
It also brought a demand for testimony on democratic party practices in handling landlord issues.
The sharp questioning that revolved around that testimony brought on the first open disagreement of the Senate hearings—between Sen. S. Jam, S. Ervin Jr., the committee chairman, a Democrat, and Sen. Edward J. Gurney, a Republican.
"I, FOR ONE, have not appreciated the harassment of this witness by the chairman in the questioning that is just finished," said Mr. Snyder, a committeemate ought to act in fairness."
"Well, I'm sorry that my distinguished friend from Florida does not approve of my method of questioning the witness," Ervin said. "I'm just an old country lawyer and I don't know the fine ways to do it. I just have to do it my way."
The audience in the hearing room burst into apause.
STANS, THE CHIEF fund raise of the reelection campaign, said the records of
contributions made before a disclosure law change on April 7, 1972, were destroyed to the extent of $50 million.
"Can you state upon your oath there was no connection between destruction of the records and the break-in at the Watergate?" asked Ervin.
"I will say to you there was no connection between the destruction of the summary sheets by treasurer Hugh Sloan and the Waterate affair." Stans reslied.
"IT'S A RATHER suspicious coincidence that records shows these matters were destroyed six days after the break-in at the Watergate." Ervin persisted.
"The adjectives are yours," said Stans. He testified contributions that found their way into the Miami bank account of convicted Watergate conspirator Bernard L. Scales, converted to cash so the large amounts would not subject the contributors to the gift tax.
ERVIN CALLED that evading a higher duty to the American mural.
Later, Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr., R-Teen, the vice chairman, said, "If we are going into this, I suggest the committee subpoena the records of the Democratic legislature and the committee of either major party for a reasonable period up to April 7 in order to study this."

In announcing the price freeze, Nixon said:

The President asked anew for congressional authority to selectively reduce tariffs, saying that help hold down prices on such scarce items as meat, dairy and poultry would require requests for power to sell more surplus commodities held in government stockpiles.
Asserting that Congress can hold down the living by helping to hold down the cost of government, Nixon said, "I shall continue to veto spending bills that we cannot afford no matter how noble sounding their names."
It's Nixon's 4th Trv in 2 Years

WASHINGTON - In a dramatic radio and television address to the nation on Aug. 15, 1971, President Nixon declared, "Working together, we will break the back of inthe previous 3.8 per cent. Food prices accounted for most of the rise in prices, because raw agricultural products were exempt from controls.
Thus Nixon launched the 90-day freeze of wages, prices and rents that became known as Phase 1 of his economic stabilization program.
Wednesday night, with the back of inflation stronger than ever despite 22 months of Phases 1, 2 and 3. The President turned to national television to unveil a new plenum.
Since January, consumer prices have gone up at an annual rate of 9.2 per cent. Food prices have alrsen have risen at an annual clin of 25 per cent during the same time.
The price surge sent Nixon's economic advisers back to the drawing board to make changes in the largely voluntary system of wage-price restraints known as Phase 3.
NIXON CALLED IN John B. Connally, former secretary of the treasury and an architect of the Phase 1 freeze, to help advise Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz, a free-market advocate, and other close economic officials on what to do.
But this time the economic situation is different from 1971. The economy now is in a new phase of recovery and growth.
When Nixon reversed his economic policy and put the freeze into effect in the middle of 1971, the nation was plagued with the twin causes of high inflation and high unemployment.
The 90-DAY FREEZE slowed the rise in prices to an annual rate of 2 per cent from
Nixon's new economic program brought praise from Congress, rallied the stock market, and brightened his chances for reelection. But organized labor, mainly AFL-CIO President George Meany, criticized it as unfair.
IN NOVEMBER, 1971, the freezes turned to a slow thaw. Nikon announced a system of wage-price controls known as Phase 2. He used this to commission and Pay Board to run the program.
The Pay board adopted a pay standard allowing raises of 5.5 per cent a year, plus 0.7 per cent in fringe. But that standard is tough enough to allow increases over the amount.
The Price Commission adopted complicated regulations that allowed prices to go up only if they could be justified by evidence. In most cases main costs permitted were wages and taxes.
PHASE 2 LASTED 14 months. Price regulations became more complicated. Business began to complain about delays. The company had to detect wasteful spending by businesses.
On Jan. 11, Nixon had shifted from the mandatorily Phase 2 program to the largely operational phase.
HE KEPT MANDATORY controls in the health and food industries. And, for those companies that might decide to flout the voluntary pay and price guidelines, Nixon said they would be clobbered with government enforcement action.

TOKYO-China and North Vietnam have just wound up a summit conference that apparently commits them to the restoration of peace in Vietnam.
By JOHN RODERICK
That seems to be the meaning behind the involved language of the long communique on the June 4-11 visit of North Vietnam's Communist chief Le Duan and Premier Pham Van Dong for talks with Premium Chou En-lai.
Throughout, the wording is mild and full of affirmations that the two Communist allies and neighbors are interested solely in the peaceful solution of the problems left over from the January Paris peace agreement.
There are expressions of solidarity,but
the Chinese make no promises to support the Vietnamese struggle if it should turn on their side.
"The Chinese people will firmly support and assist the fraternate Vietnamese people in their struggle to safeguard and consolidate peace, build socialism in the North, achieve independence and democracy in the South and proceed to achieve the peaceful future of Vietnam." And bring about a peaceful, reunified, independent, democratic and strong Vietnam."
Instead, the Chinese say:

and cereals. Food from the basic four groups supplies all needs of a normal person except the iron requirement for all women and the calcium requirement for some people.
"If a vitamin supplement is needed it is for a specific reason only," Cross said.
A NUTRITIONALLY well-balanced daily diet consists of the basic four food groups, milk for children and two glasses for adults; two servings of meat or meat substitutes; one green leafy or yellow vegetable; one green salad or another kind of vegetable or fruit for variety.
PEOPLE WHO might need vitamins are often necessary for a well-balanced diet, she said.

BURGER SAID that despite the federal ruling prohibiting the addition of DES, a chemical, she said, that was found harmful to man, into beef, it was still being used.
"The thing that turned me off from meat was my experience in driving through a feedet area. Anything coming from an animal was not said as that can be good," Burger said.
Products in health food stores were generally more expensive than products found in regular supermarkets, because of the health foods' higher quality. Burger salad
SHE SAID that the eggs she sold were much higher quality than most other incubator-hatched eggs found in supermarkets. Incubator eggs, she said, are fed with coloring to enhance the color of the yolk.
Downtown Health Foods sells to a diverse group of customers and most of its customers are regulars, according to Burger. The store sells mostly staples, such as grains, flours and oils, and food supplements and vitamins.
BURGER SAID that because her store sold much in the way of food supplements, she was concerned about the federal ruling of the Food and Drug Administration restricting the sale of food supplements to 20 per cent of what is now available.
She said there was a high percentage of disease in commercially-grown eggs and that the quality was generally lower than her local farm-grown eggs.
Burger said that the remaining 80 per cent would be available to the consumer
only by way of prescription, which must be obtained by a doctor. She said that the FDA's reason for the ruling was simple that people didn't need food supplements.
"They never say we don't need aspirin, alcohol or cigarettes," Burger said. She said that no damage had been shown concerning vitamins or food supplements that would warrant the ruling requiring a prescription.
"THERE HAVE been fewer overconsumption of vitamin A than there have been of aspirin," Burger said. "An over-consumption of alcohol affects individuals more seriously than does an over-consumption of vitamin C."
Burger said the ruling had economic implications. She said the cost of food supplements would rise five to 10 per cent, mainly because of the prescription cost.
Burger said that the FDA had no scientific basis for its ruling.
