Watergate Panel Will Compromise on Tapes The Senate Watergate Committee told the U.S. Court of Appeals yesterday that it was willing to compromise in its battle to obtain five supersoned presidential tape recordings.
Ransom Call Received on Stolen Painting
A man with a West Indian accent telephoned a national newspaper in London last night and demanded $1.1 million worth of food for "the people of Grenada" in return for the valuable Jain Vermeer painting 'Guitar Play'. The painting was stolen from a London museum over the weekend, police said.
The panel said that as a last resort it would agree to a “stringent protective order” that would prevent disclosure of the contents of the tapes now that the company had been notified.
reported. And Yard said earlier it had expected a ransom demand for the 17th century Master dumpleister, considered too famous to be sold on the open market. British police clamped tight security on air and sea terminals to prevent the thieves from smuggling it out of the country.
Miners Strike to Protest Gas Shortage
Thousands of coal miners, protecting the lack of enough gasoline to get to work, on strike, yesterdays in West Virginia as the nationwide end-of-the-year strike began.
Richard Carter, president of the United Mine Workers district in the area, said yesterday that 4,000 miners went on strike. But Steven G. Young, president of the West Virginia Coal Association, placed the figure at 9,000. Carter said the miners apparently walked out to dramatize their demand for gasoline rationing. The action shut down production at a number of mines in the southern part of the state.
Simon Criticizes Shah's Oil Remarks
Federal energy chief William E. Simon was labeled as “irresponsible and reckless” remarks Iran that the United States was making to him before the ARA began the attack.
Before the embargo, the U.S. was importing about six million barrels of oil a day. Simon said he last week's figures showed only 4.8 million barrels a day.
The allegation made by the Shah, Simon said, would indicate that for the United States to be importing as much oil as before the boycott, several American companies had lost business.
"I suggest that's not only impossible but ridiculous," Simon said.
Part Two of 'Archinelago' to be Issued
The Swiss publishers of Alexander Solzenthyns's "Gulag Archipelago" said yesterday that they expected to bring out the second volume of the work this fall or early next year and that it would deal in part with the post-Stalin era.
A spokesman for Scherz Verlag of Bern and Munich, which has the German-language rights to the book, said the second volume would cover in part the period after 1956 when Nikita Khrushchev launched the de-Stalinization drive at the 20th Communist party congress.
The volume will comprise two or three more parts of the seven-part work, the spokesman said. He said it was up to Solzhenityn when the third and final volumes would be published.

If it isn't lifted, Nixon said, "I will slow down the efforts we are making on the坡" (hence the word).

Ombudsman Present But Unaccounted For
Need help finding the ombudsman? Good luck.
Somewhere on the University of Kansas campus there is a student ombudsman.
Need help? Call the ombudsman.
The student ombudbsman, usually a law student, is paid $471 a year to handle student complaints and questions about the University. Kiehl Rathban, Lawrence second-year law student, is the ombudbsman now.
John Beiser, Salina junior and student body president, said yesterday that he had walked past the ombudsa木 office several times, but had seen the office open only
"I haven't been able to find a law student who knows him. I'm sure he exists, this guy."
He might be doing the work somewhere besides his office though. Beasner said.
Beisner said if the student ombudsman wasn't providing the services he was paid to provide, the Student Senate might be reluctant to fund the program this spring.
is prepared to take further steps to deal win that if necessary.
Nixon said he believes the waiting lines at gasoline stations will be alleviated by the new regulations.
There are no office hours posted on the office door.
Martin Dickinson, dean of the law school,
said he was unaware the ombudsman public
service had been involved.
"The program has no official connection with the law school," he said.
“In fact that is the objective of our program and I think we will achieve it,” he
Mark Retonke, a KU graduate, said the program was set up in the spring of 1970 to explain any misunderstandings about the Senate Code.
"Later it became kind of like a clearhouse," he said, "if someone had a gripe or wanted to find out how to do something, he went to the ambassad."
The embudsmur was supposed to help the student solve his problem, Retonde said.
The original bill introduced in the senate
challenged the program simply set up the
offices he said.
Retonde told the job was left up to the discretion of the ombudsman.
“It’s pretty much whatever the ombudsman wants to do.”
The commission will consider revenue
Commission to Consider Revenue Sharing, Transit
At the same time, he said the price of gasoline isn't going to decrease until more fuel is being shipped.
Timothy Boudewyns and Joe Speelman, Lawrence three-year law students, filed the action Thursday in the hearing division of the University Judiciary.
Allocation of 1974 revenue sharing funds, public transportation for Lawrence and the advisability of constructing a city maintenance facility will be discussed by the Lawrence City Commission at 2 p.m. today. The meeting will be in the commission on the fourth floor of the First National Bank building, 94th and Massachusetts streets.
Two University of Kansas students have fled suit seeking to abolish the KU Parking System.
Boudevyns and Speelman also asked that the hearing division enforce a temporary restraining order to prevent the Parking and Traffic Court from further processing cases until a final decision was made on the court action.
If the restraining order is granted, the suit also asks that the traffic ticket appeal deadline of 14 days be suspended to protect a timely community members' right to appeal.
Suit Filed to Abolish Traffic Court
In their suit, Boudewyns and Speelman asked that the traffic court be declared in violation of Kansas law and that it be abolished.
In their court action they said, "the traffic court is merely an administrative hearing board of the University of Kansas and has no jurisdiction to handle the disposition of
criminal cases and charges such as misdemeanors under state law."
Traffic violations established under Kamas law must be dealt with in the same manner.
Because the traffic court isn't a court of "competent criminal jurisdiction," they said, a defendant is denied the right to a full bearing, the right to cross-examine all witnesses against himself and the right to a jury if he desires.
In case the hearing division refuses to abolish the traffic court, Boudewyns and Speelman have filed an alternate court action.
Due process of law is denied, they said,
because University personnel aren't able to
exercise rights granted by the Senate
Code.
The alternate action asks that "the hearing division permanently enjoy the operation of the traffic court until such time as the court adopts sufficient procedural rules to bring it into compliance with the laws set forth in procedure for procedural due process of law."
Speelman said the case would come before the hearing division sometimes than this.
Defendants are also denied the right to cross-examine the officer giving the ticket,
Charles Oldfather, University attorney, said he would probably be involved in the investigation.
Specifically denied is the right to remain silent and to be informed of that right before a court proceeding.
"We are planning to appeal the case in district court if we lose," he said.
The court action also said that defendants were denied the right to a presumption of innocence and the right to require the officer giving the ticket to prove all charges.
"The University will attempt to support the current system," he said.
The commission will also discuss the advisability of using revenue sharing funds to construct a city maintenance facility for city equipment and vehicles. Dennis Kallsen, assistant city manager, told the commission last week that about $588,000 in revenue sharing funds could be made available for the fire department, which already allocated but not used, $221,000 allocated for the conversion of the fire and police department building at 745 Vermont St. and $250,000 which could be drawn from future revenue sharing funds.
" . I ... would not join . . . in kicking him when he's down," Nixon said.
Funding the conversion of the fire and police building could be deferred, he said, until the fire and police departments have vacated the building and moved into the new county judicial facility which will probably be completed in 1977.

The commission will also discuss public transportation needs in the city.
- Commented publicity for the first time on the resignation of Spiro T. Agnew as vice president last Oct. 10, but said only that Agnew had thought it proper to step aside and embark on embarrassment facing the administration, accepted conviction for income tax evasion.
The revenue sharing funds are being allocated from a total of $661,747 that the city have received between July 1, 1973, and June 30, 1974.
—Expressed admiration for Alexander Solzhentsym, the author expelled by the Soviet Union because of his writings, said a shift in U.S. policy wouldn't affect his fate. He said efforts at detente will continue for the sake of world peace.
Last week the commission approved requests from five other agencies totaling $62,447 and authorized the use of $25,000 for community building, 11th and Vermont streets.
Nixon said the lifting of the Arab oil embargo would have some effect on gas prices, but he didn't forecast when that would come.
