WASHINGTON (AP)—The former head of the nation's largest milk producers cooperative, Harold S. Nelson, pleaded guilty in a conspiracy to bribe John B. Connally.
Connally, a former governor of Texas and Treasury secretary during President Nixon's first term, was indicted Monday for allegedly accepting a $10,000 bribe from the milk producers. He said he is innocent and will fight the charges.
Nelson, former general manager of Association Milk Producers Inc., said the conspiracy also included donation of more than $300,000 in corporate money both to Democrats and Republicans in federal elections of 1968, 1969 and 1972.
He admitted conspiring with two others to bribe Connally in return for his help in persuading President Nixon to raise federal milk price supports in 1971.
Nelson entered his plea before Chief U.S. District Judge George L. Hart Jr.
Specifically, Nelson said he authorized lobbyist Bob A. Lilly to give $10,000 to Jake Jacobsen to pass on to Connally. Jacobsen, a lawyer who then worked for the milk producers, had been a White House aide to B. Johnson and was a friend of Connally.
As part of the guilty plea, Nelson promised to cooperate with Watergate prosecutors and to appear as a witness at trial.
The prosecutors now appear to have three witnesses who will testify about the $10,000.
Jacobsen was indicted along with Connally on Monday and is scheduled to enter his plea next week. Jacobsen was charged with one bribery count, whereas Connally was charged with five counts, including bribery, perjury and conspiracy.
Lilly also testified that Nelson authorized him to give the money to Jacobsen. Until yesterday, Nelson had never admitted giving such authorization.
Lilly, who received immunity from prosecution last November, already has testified that Jacobsen asked him for the money to give to Connally after Connaly murdered him. He was arrested in March 1971. Lilly quoted Joe支付 saying, "The man wants his money."
Jacobsen once swear that Connally refused to take the $10,000, but informed sources said he recently agreed to plead guilty to a single bribery court and to testify against Connally in return for favorable treatment.
Nixon Economics Attacked
Bentsen, chairman of the joint economic subcommittee on economic growth, offered a six-point Democratic alternative that he should receive biatrixian ssumo?
In a nationally televised response to the President's recent speech on the economy, Bentesa disparaged what he called Nixon's "new massive voice" economic policy.
"The President told us that our present economic troubles are everyone's fault—that we're doing it wrong."
"He blamed international conditions, wild spending by Congress and the extravagances of citizens who spend money rather than save it," Bentsen said. "I felt that I was hearing the language of economic cover-up."
Bentsen, who was chosen by the Democratic majority in Congress to reply to Nixon's July 25 speech, called for an end to "this pointless search for culprits" and proposed a long- and short-range economic program:
"A program to convince banks and lending institutions to voluntarily aim new loans toward production of items in short supply, particularly in fields of housing and manufacturing."
—An increase of congressional efforts to cut back federal spending. President Nixon proposed a $5 billion cut in the 1975 budget. Bentsen mentioned no specific figure, but some other Democrats have urged a much larger reduction.
—The establishment by the President or Congress of a Cost-of-Living Task Force to track and attempt to avoid or reduce inflationary price and wage increases.
—Reform of the tax system to plug loopholes and produce some new revenue. Nixon said he would propose no tax increase reductions and did not mention tax reform.
house of representatives in two of the three local districts.
- Increase industrial and agricultural
  potential through research and job
  training.
- "Certainly this six-point program does not exhaust the possibilities for action and decision," Bentsen said. "But it underscores the fact that there are things to be done—more than the administration is doing now."
- Immediate steps by the Nixon administration to "put its own economic house in order" by a better coordination of its economic policies and programs.
In the 44th District, Republicans will choose between Paul Gray, P. of 618 Ohio a local retailer, and Byron Mohr, 39, a former farmer who is now a KU manager.
While Nixon spoke of the quality of steadiness as a key to anti-inflationary programs, Bentens said Nixon's economic policies were inconsistent with his inconsistency and desperate trial and error.
The winner of that primary will oppose Democratic incumbent Mike Gloyer, 27, of 1308 Summit Drive, a clothing store assistant manager, in November.
In the 45th District, Democrats will choose between Robert Brink, 25, Rt. 2, a rancher, and Frances Kennedy, 24, Rt. 2, a housewife.
One of them will face Republican incumbent Lloyd Buszi, Rt. 4, a real estate and insurance agent, in the general election.
Republican State Rep. John Vogel of the sard District is unopposed in either the mayoral race or a primary.
There is only one primary race for Douglas County offices. Two Democrats are
running for sheriff, One is Timothy A. Albertson, 19, of 1144 Louisiana St., a KU freshman, Virgil O. Foust, 40, Rt. 4, owner of an auto repair shop, is his opponent.

Kansas Political Hopefuls Compete In Primary Elections on Tuesday
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a series of stories featuring key races that will be decided by Kansas voters in Tuesday's primary election.

TOPEKA (AP)—Democratic and Republican voters will select their nominees for the U.S. Senate and Congress in eight races Tuesday, with the focal point in the 2nd Congressional District of northeast Kansas.
The 2nd District seat is up for grabs, and seven candidates are vying for the two
There, incumbent Democrat Bill Roy is giving up his House seat to take his party's nomination for the U.S. Senate against Republican Bob Dole in November. Roy is opposed by both the State Treasurer George Buck and the state, expected to defeat him. Dole is unopposed.
It is the only Kansas congressional district not now held by a Republican.
Republicans bidding to recapture what has been a traditional GOP stronghold are state Rep John C. Peterson of Topeka and Edward F. Reilly Jr. of Leavenworth.
Republicans have represented the northwest region for a century, except when they were appointed to represent it for one term in 1953-58 and since 1971, when Roy took office. Roy upset three-term incumbent Republican Chet Perry in 1970 to claim the seat for the Democrats.
Seeking to keep the district under Democratic representation are Glenn I. Burns, Edward Engel, Jacob Miller and Kevin Banks, Dr. Dana Banks, and Mrs. Martha Kees of Manhattan.
The only districtwidewipe that has been publicized, conducted for WIBW, Topekia, indicated that Peterson and Miller held substantial but not majorly leads about two races in the primary ever, both races show more than one-third of the potential votes were undecided.
Peterson and Miller have conducted extensive campaigns in Topeka, and that may pay off for them Tuesday. In 1972, Shawnee County Topeka accounted for 37
The reference was to observations by Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D-Minn., and others to the effect that if Americans ate less meat, less grain would be required to fatten livestock and more could be released to help feed hungry nations.
WASHINGTON (AP)—In challenge woe critics of American eating habits, Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz said they should consider whether the nation's 62 million dogs, cats and horses take food from the mouths of poor people around the world.
"I wryly if someone of those ill-informed,
fuzzy-thinking dogooders who suggest that we eat one less hamburger per week to save money, let me tell you they are really serious." Butz said yesterday.
If critics are serious about this proposal,
Butz continued, "they could be making our onslaught on this noble goal by reducing our dog and cat population by 50 per cent, which would suddenly release more grain for the world."
Butz Reminds Critics Of Pet Food Grain Toll
The nation's 32 million dogs and 22 million cats require food derived directly and indirectly from grain. Butz told a meeting of animal scientists. The same applies to the 8 million horses Americans ride mostly for pleasure these days.
A spokesperson for Butz said the secretary did not now have a dog, cat or horse but that the family had pets in Indiana some years ago.
Butz added quickly, however, that he was not advocating slaughter or other treatment.
