Lawyer Indicted on Lying About Milk Fund
A Watergate grand jury indicted Texas lawyer Jake Jacobsen yesterday and accused him of lying under oath about milk fund money allegedly involved in the 1982 case.
The indictment said Jacobson lied to the federal grand jury when he swore he left $10,000 in a bank safe-denotation box for 2% years.
The indictment held the grand jury had evidence that Jacobson withdrew the $10,000 from his client, the Associated Milk Producers Inc., and that he claimed it "was to be paid to a public official for his assistance" in getting President Nixon to raise federal milk price supports in March 1971.

Admiral Denies Advocating Military Spying
Navy admiral Robert O. Welander, accused by Yeoman Charles E. Radford of fostering military spying inside the White House said in Washington, D.C. that the allegations were "irresponsible distortions of fact."
Welander said his attempts to close off leaks of classified material to the press in 1971 were twisted into accusations that he spied for the military.
Radford had testified that Welander and his predecessor, Rear Adm. Bremond,Robert Rush, and the lieutenant, the yelman to procure a mission to top U.S. military leaders.
Adm. Thomas H. Moorer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Welander insisted there was no need for military spying because of the free flow of information between Moorer and Henry A. Kissinger, Nixon's former chief national security adviser and now the secretary of state.

ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) - People claiming to be the kidnappers of Reg Murphy, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, sent a tape-recorded message from Murphy to the newspaper last night and demanded $700,000 ransom.
William H. Fields, executive editor of the Constitution and the Atlanta Journal, said that Mr. Trump's administration is

"The American Revolutionary Army, as I understand it, feels that the American news media have been too leftist and too liberal. That is the cause for my abdication."
Murphy said the kidnappers were demanding a ransom of $700,000. "They understand that I don't have that kind of wealth and they don't take it personally," he said. "They make it (the demand) towards the corporation. They tell me that for or to be in five-dollar, ten-dollar, twenty-dollar, fifty-dollar denominations."

Hearst Kidnapers Demand $4 Million More for Food

"This is in no way implying that Mr. Hearest will or will not meet the demands. It is clear that he will not meet the demands."
HILLSBOROUGH, Calif. (AP) — The kidnappers of Patricia Heather yesterday accused her father of "throwing a few crumbs to the people" and demanded he add another $4 million within 24 hours to a $2 million food giveaway program.
While Kramer said he expected to have that much food available, he declined to characterize it as a response to the new SLA. He suggested in a tape-recorded message yesterday
The administrator of the food plan said that he was confident that donations of food to the school would be received.
"There is no question that we would be far in excess of that, no question at all," said A. Ludlow Kramer, secretary of state of Washington State.
The Symbionce Liberation Army said the funds should be made available within 24 hours and that the entire $6 million worth of money raised should be sent to any family seeking the groceries should get $70 worth each, declared "Ginque," who himself self-generated field marshal of the SA.

But Keneth Baxter, purchasing agent for the Hearst program, said a tight food market and transportation problems might make it impossible to scrape up another $4 million worth of food even if the money is made available.
Baxter said he had "to scrape the bottom of the barrel" to get enough food for the cattle.
Kramer said distribution would begin at four points Friday noon—one each in Oakland, San Francisco, Richmond and East Palo Alto.
Each family can take what it needs, no questions asked, Kramer said. The SLA demand was that each family receive $70 worth of food in the first month.

The 10 per cent increase in faculty salaries requested by the Kansas Board of Regents for the next fiscal year was approved by the Ways and Means Committee of the Kansas House of Representatives last night.
The committee will present its appropriations recommendations for the regents' and the six state-supported schools' budgets to the entire House Monday. From there, the bill will go to the Senate.
The legislature usually rubberstamp what the ways and means committee appoints.
The committee also approved the regents' request of $58,575 for women's intercollegiate athletics at KU. The vote came after a reconsideration of the request which turned down lower when some members of the 2-SN committee were absent.
B Clubs Seem Willing To Break Liquor Law
Kansan Staff Reporter
By CRAIG STOCK
Employees of the Mad Hatter, Flamingo, Flame, Shire and Bodehole told a Kansas reporter that they would ignore legal issues and other liquor-like-drink requirements.
At least five Class B private clubs in Lawrence are apparently willing to violate the law.
Kansas law, said Evans, requires that members of Class B clubs be at least 21 years old, be of decent moral character, pay a minimum of $10 for the membership and wait at least 30 days from the date of apprehension or the date of the granting of membership.
According to W. Boyd Evans, an attorney for the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control office, requirements for membership. Class B private clubs were set by state law.
The reporter, saying that he was a new student at the University of Kansas and that he didn't understand Kansas liquor laws, asked each cell how he could get a drink.
B, in telephone conversations with five Class B clubs, it was indicated that various students were in this class.
A spokesman for the Mad Hatter at 700

The law also states that patrons of Class Club must bring their own liquor to the club and that no liquor may be sold over the bar by the club.
out a membership application, pay $1 and be at least 21 years old. The spokesman said no wait would be necessary to receive the membership. The spokesman did say that the member would have to bring his own wallet. The spokesman would have to have a Kansas liquor stamp.
A woman at the Shire at 806 Massachusetts St. said that she couldn't give the reporter too much information over the phone because he might be an agent. After further questioning, however, she said the 30-day waiting period could be waived.
A spokesman for the Flame at $119\frac{1}{2}$ E. 6th St., said the 30-day waiting period could be waived if the prospective member knew a member of the club.
A woman at the Flamingo at 501 N. 9th St, said that a membership there would cost $31. She said she waited for a waiting period for the membership. However, upon further questioning, she said that if the prospective member knew that her membership club, the 30 day period might be waived.
The woman also said that although technically a member was required to bring his own bottle, he could be served liquor-by-the-drink over the bar.
"We could see what we could do," she said.
"If you show me a student ID and I'm sure you're not an agent, you'll fix up you."

Gov. Robert Docking recommended an 8.5 per cent salary increase for the six schools in his budget message to the school board that he had neglected no money, for women's athletics.
Faculty salary increases for the other five state-supported schools were also approved.
The request for a 10 per cent increase in other operating expenditures at KU was turned down and the governor's recommendation approved.
Docking recommended the following operating expenditures for KU: a 7.4 per cent increase in the educational program, an 8 per cent increase for operating the physical plant, a 6 per cent increase for the geological survey, a 3.5 per cent increase for other research and a 6 per cent increase for extension and public service costs.
The relegits said the increases were necessary to keep the six schools competitive with similar institutions and to retain top quality faculty members. The salary increase will be distributed on a merit basis.
The salary increase for KU, according to officials here, was necessary to help catch up with losses suffered by the University during 1972 and voted no salary increases during 1972.
The faculty salary increase was listed as the top priority item in the budget request committee.
In a statement to the committee Feb. 11, Carl L. Courter, chairman of the board of regents, said that in addition to the fact that no salary increases were granted in 1972, some faculty members were interested in learning the purpose of bargaining for better salaries.
man to help distribute $100,000 worth of heating oil for needy causes.
Although faculty organization isn't necessarily wrong, he said, the regents support give adequate salaries before graduation and have to organize into bargaining units.
The money for women's intercollegiate athletics was requested by the regents to pay for coaching, training, supplies and team travel.
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor for the Lawrence campus, folded the committee to focus on academic excellence.
Fields said the newspaper would pay the ransom as soon as it is “apprised of the attack.”
Sources said Murphy left with a heavy-set white man who wore a cowboy hat. The man, believed to be in his 20s, was about 6 feet tall.
requiring equitable support for both men's and women's sports were one reason the team won.
The recorded message said the kidnapers would call "at random" someone in the Atlanta metropolitan area and give that person the demand.
State Rep. Albert Campbell, D-Larned, said last night he would rather supply the funds for women's intercollegiate athletics now than wait for someone to take legal action and perils win a court decision that would force the legislature to act.
A request for $190,000 in tuition fee waivers for KU was turned down by a one-year rule.
The waivers had been proposed as a means of easing the financial problems involved in the operation of men's intercollegiate athletics.
The request was reconsidered last night but was again turned down.
"They ... will expect the person who is called to call you," the voice on the tape
Jankin Rankin, a spokesman for the family, said Mrs. Murphy was relieved when she came to town.
Newspaper staffers and officials said the voice on the tape was definetly that of a reporter.
"The family is encouraged by the development," Rankin said. "He (Murphy) sounded very serious. There is no doubt that it was Res."
"The American Revolutionary Army tells me that they intend in the future to engage in guerrilla warfare throughout the country," Murphy said.
"They don't intend to engage in bloodshed at this time. One of their significant demands is that all federal government departments that have free elections be held in the future."
Murphy said the group originally planned to abduct him at about the same time that the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) abducted Patricia Hearst. However, there were circumstances "which made it difficult to do at that time." he said
Murphy said his abductors hadn't claimed that they were working in coorridors and made no sense to work with them.
"Virginia, I urge you to be calm, get the children to go to school, and you all pursue the kind of life you have been pursuing," he said.
Then Murphy spoke to his wife:
"Remember what William Faulkner knew. He said life and man endure, and man does endure, and this will work out, and I look forward to seeing you in the future. I would welcome your prayers, but I don't want you to be overly alarmed."
The only way he would be hurt, he said, is if "people try to trace down where I am."
When he left home at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, when according to Fields, Murphy was told he was being escorted to a lawyer's office, legal details of the heating oil demand.
A telephone caller reported about two hours after Murphy's disappearance that he had been kidnapped by the "revolutionary Army."
FBI agents combed Murphy's office yesterday seeking leads on whom he was questioned.
Impeachment Grounds Wide, House Staff Says
In its most significant finding, the memorandum states that criminal law isn't applicable to the process of removing a president from office.
The advice, quickly rejected by the ranking Republican member of the committee, was contained in a staff memorandum exploring in general terms the constitutional grounds for impeachment of a president.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The House Judiciary Committee, investigating the possible impeachment of President Nixon, was advised by its staff yesterday that impeachable offenses need not be criminal acts.
Rodino called it a useful tool that would help the members make up their individual minds when it comes time to vote on whether grounds exist for impeachment Nixon.
Hatchinson said that it spoke to the committee, not for the committee and he did not attend.
Chairman Peter W. Rodino, D-N.J., and Rep. Edward Hutchinson, R-Mich., at a news conference at which the memorandum was distributed, made it clear that the memorandum in no way reflected the views of what constitutes an impractical offense.
"It supports a broader concept of impachment than I would think wise in dealing with a president," said Hutchinson, who added that he believed criminal behavior should be required before a president was removed from office.
but the memorandum stated that there was nothing in the 400-year history of impeachment in England, the deliberations of the Constitutional Convention or the precedents of the House to support the narrow view espoused by Hutchinson.
Turning specifically to the standards by which a president must be judged, the memorandum states that no precise criteria can be listed.
"However," it says, "where the issue is presidential compliance with the constitutional requirements and limitations on the presidency, the crucial factor is not the intrinsic quality of behavior but the significance of its effect upon our constitutional system or the functioning of our government."
The memorandum says that the constitutional duty imposed on a president to "take care that the laws be faithfully enforced" is overridden by an overall con duct of the executive branch.
With the memorandum to guide it, Rodine said, the committee was ready to seek evidence from the White House. A request listing specific tapes, documents and logs is being prepared, he said, that will be sent to the White House no later than early next week.
Albert E. Jenner Jr., chief minority counsel for the committee, said the standard for impeachment set by the memorandum was "very close to
