250,000 Americans Involved in Labor Disputes
By The ASSOCIATED PRESS
Strikes involving prison guards in Rhode Island and 4,000 state employees in Ohio were settled yesterday, but almost a quarter of a million other Americans were off their jobs because of labor disputes.
The settlements came when leaders of the largest of four groups of state employs on strike in Ohio reluctantly agreed to accept an offer of a wage increase and the governor guard union promised there would be no more walkouts.
The remaining strikes interfered with everything from transit to hospitals. The issue in most cases was money. Employees demanded wage boosts of 10 per cent and more, they needed the increases to catch up with inflation.
Pickets were posted at two airlines, buses sat in San Francisco garages and copper miners weren't working in Arizona. In addition, there were hundreds of smaller municipal employees and workers in private industry.
Leaders of local chapters of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees—representing
Owen King, a federation spokesman, said the union leaders weren't happy with a legislative proposal for a new draft law that would remove the
4,000 of the 7,500 state workers on strike in Ohio—voted to end their walkout.
"The picket lines will be coming down as soon as possible," he said.
Two of the four unions had urged their members to keep working while an agreement was hampered out.
The proposed pay settlement came from a joint legislative committee and still must be formalized by the full legislature. It would provide for higher increases of 30 cents for those earning less than $8,000, 20 cents for those earning from $8,000-$12,000 and 10 cents for those getting more than $12,000.
Union demands for increases ranged from 31 to 60 cents an hour.
by yesterday morning the strike had spread to 25 liquor stores, two universities, 15 mental hospitals and eight
National Guard troops had been on duty at the state's largest prison at Lucasville and at Lima State Hospital for
The walkouts were among almost 600 strikes involving almost 250,000 workers, according to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The service said it was the largest number of strikes since it started keeping records in 1989 and reported that last year at this time there were 279 walkouts involving 70,000 workers.
Supervisors and volunteers worked to keep a San Diego hospital and three clinics open in the face of a walkout by the City Council.
Talks continued in Washington, D.C., on a new nine-year contract involving 750,000 Bell Telephone System employees. Thirty-three Bell contracts expired at midnight last night. No strike vote had been taken.
Negotiations were scheduled to resume in Washington today between National Airlines and striking members of the machinists' union who walked out at midnight Sunday, shutting down the carrier.
The regional director of the Federal Energy Office in San Francisco said he was seeking ways to settle a 16-day
In Arizona, strikes continued at three of the nation's five largest copper companies.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Defiance by President Nixon of any Supreme Court order of state House tapes would be a misdeed, Sen. Robert D. Rankan, said yesterday.
Dole said that defiance by Nixon of an order to turn the tapes over to the special interrogate prosecutor would "shatter the confidence of the House if impurement came to a vote."
Such defiance might not necessarily be an impeachable offense in itself, he said.
Dole, national chairman of the Republican party for most of Nixon's first term, was questioned during a taping of the CBS radio program, "Capitol Cloakroom."
If the House does impeach Nixon, he said, he does not think a trial on the charges in the Senate will be completed before the November election.
Dole Advises Compliance
Asked if he could become, as an in-
basis on the basis of his judgment or on the basis
of the wishes its constituents, Dole man,
"wishes it's clearly my duty to vote my
thoughts," evidenced . . . although I can't deny that they feel their feelings on this wafting in from Kansas."
Dole, who is seeking re-election to a second Senate term, noted a recent poll in the state that showed public sentiment even split for and against Nixon.
Asked if the could become, as an incumbent, a victim of a "Watergate" man said, a sad face like that could happen. But I'm running a campaign to re-elect Bob Dole.
"In the last month in Kansas, I haven't been asked about the President a half-dozen
He said the principal problem facing candidates this fall was "voter apathy. But it's our responsibility as candidates to overcome that."
Nixon's Refusal to Talk About Taxes Questionable
By CLARK R. MOLLENHOFF

WASHINGTON-Virtually unnoticed in the mass of impaction issues before the House Judiciary Committee is the fact that President Nixon continues to refuse to
comment
answer important questions concerning his
full-fled federal income tax returns.
Those questions were first asked by the Joint Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation and go to the central question of the Committee's knowledge of fraud in his federal tax returns.
Despite the Joint Committee's findings that Mr. Nixon nixed an additional $746.432
in back taxes and interest and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) collected only $13,000 in "negligence penalties," the internal has not been finally resolved.
To understand the Nixon tax problem, one must keep in mind these points:
—The Joint Committee's investigation was conducted without the authority to put witnesses under oath, within a sharply defined four-month time frame and with the implication that it should not attempt to determine whether fraud had been committed.
—The IRS investigators were unable to resolve the question of Mr. Nikon's culpability in the papers transfer despite overwhelming evidence that someone had
—President Nixon refused to respond to a series of questions that would clarify his intent, particularly with regard to the backdating of legal papers transferring the gift of vice-presidential papers to the National Archives.
to the effective date of the papers' transfer of ownership
Whereas Mr. Nixon's tax affairs have been examined in depth by the House Judiciary, his account has not yet answered basic questions in relationship with Los Angeles tax lawyer
—Mr. Nixon and his tax lawyers could have contested the claim for $171,000 in back taxes for the year 1969 since it was outside the three-year statute of limitations that applies to tax cases involving issues other than fraud.
The IRS, with Commissioner Donald Alexander making all of the final decisions, concluded that collecting nearly one-half million dollars in back taxes, interest and 'negligence penalties' was the best 'inancial alternative' when Mr. Nikson's answer to questions made it impossible to draw final conclusions on his intent.
Frank De Marco, who admits that he back-loaded the deed for transfer of Mr. Nixon's vice-presidential papers. The deed was dated March 27, 1969, even though the actual date those papers were prepared was April 10, 1970. The tax law eliminating tax deductions for such gifts went into effect on July 25, 1969.
The White House makes no such claim for those who helped Mr. Nixon in the preparation of his income tax returns, and Attorney General William Saxbe has denied that he was involved in the progress of possible fraud on the part of those who prepared Mr. Nixon's returns.
The White House has taken the position that the IRS closing of the case without asserting 50 per cent civil fraud penalties against the defendant of fraud on the part of the President."
The Joint Committee staff, the Judiciary Committee staff and IRS officials find it difficult to distinguish between the two.
countants and appraisers would seek a questionable tax deduction for more than $80,000 without telling Mr. Nixon what the deduction in face making in the deductive effect.
U. S. Rep. Edward Menzvik (D-Iowa), who has made an in-depth study of all ramifications of Mr. Nixon's tax matters, said he believed the evidence the Judiciary Committee had to date demonstrated the tax matter had "the possibility of being as significant as the President's role in the Watergate cover-up."
"The important thing is the extent of the President's knowledge of the material misrepresentations made with relation to his tax returns," Meyvinsky said.

for the sirens to sound—while the police stood outside doing nothing.
Four years ago in Lawrence, buildings barred and bullets cut down two young cities.
The problems that have been created by the association's continuing assimilation of the area north of the campus and by the city's apparent contempt for those residents could be better resolved by sincere dialog than by tearing down all of these fine old buildings and replacing them with dusty parking lots.
Perhaps one day the association will realize that destroying structures is an ineffective way of killing ideas. Perhaps the fire, probably arson, will spark an awareness in the alums that it aks more on the purse strings to promote academic achievement at KU; it takes a genuine accommodation to the new values of the students.
The destruction of the Gaslight Tavern is painful, as Martin Henry of the Endowment Association recognized. But what is more painful is that someone out there can't find a method more positive than he express his genuine and grazing dismay.
The young black man, Rick Dowdell, was concerned with the economic condition of his community.
Michael Joseph Wallingford Kansas City, Kan., sophomore
The young white man, Harry Rice, was the son of Leawood suburbanities. He was among the many who were openly investigating the new lifestyles in the area just north of the campus. But when those students came to notice, they began to detract from university's reputation for resisting new ideas and change, and the situation exploded.
Rice bled to death on the floor of what was then the Gaslight Tavern, which recently, as the Mount Oread Bar and Grill, was acquired by the KU Endowment Association. Now its ashes have consecrated Rice's blood.
When the Endowment Association's scrapwood property started burning Sunday night, the response from the authorities was considerably quicker than when Harry Rice lay bleeding to death inside the Gaslight. Four years ago it tok 20 minutes
