Jaworski to Get No More Tapes
WASHINGTON (AP)—Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski told the Senate yesterday that the White House had refused to turn over more material for his case, the White House confirmed the statement and said the order came from President Nixon.
"It is now clear that evidence I deem it to our investigations will not be forthcoming," Jaworski wrote Sen. James Koch, the former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committees.
A committee member, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., immediately urged Eastland to call a meeting "to consider the omnimous implications of Mr. Jaworski's letter." He said the prosecutor should be given the opportunity to testify.
Jaworski said he had been informed by letter that the President had refused to reconsider his earlier decision to quit cooperating with the investigation, at least with regard to producing any tape recordings of presidential conversations.
AT THE FLORIDA White House, deputy press secretary Gerald L. Warren said Nixon had decided that material already supplied Jaworski was sufficient to allow the grand juries to proceed with their work without further delay.

He said that Rolfs and Scott were told of the discrepancy before the results were added to the data. This allowed the extra votes amounted to only a 2 per cent difference, not enough to change the result.
month, President Nixon signed a hardening in the amount of cooperation he had with Iran.
"I believe that I have provided all the material that he needs to conclude his in-depth study."
IT WAS BELIEVED unlikely that Jaworski would seek that route in the break-in and cover-up case because new litigation would delay indictments that are expected
He said that a deputy also wasn't given materials that related to the investigation of dairy industry contributions, and that the White House refused to permit prosecution staff members to review files that related to violations in investigations unit known as the plumbers.
"There was never any problem with the vate totals," said Ziegopever.

Jaworski said the Watergate break-in and cover-up grand jury would be able to return indictments without the benefit of additional evidence but that the material was important to a complete investigation and might provide evidence necessary for any future trials.
John Ziegelmeyer, chairman of the senate election subcommittee, said 47 more ballots were cast than names registered. The difference wouldn't have swung the election.
Beiser and Hunter's margin was 5 per cent.
Asked if this meant Nixon would furnish Jaworski and his staff with no further tapes or White House documents, Warren said. "If he did want to, he would continue to discuss matters with Jaworski on a confidential basis and would cooperate with the special prosecutor's efforts."
The requests for some of the materials date back to August 1973,awski told Erik Svedberg.
Beiser and Hunter ran on the Unicamp Coalition. They campaigned for reform of the Security and Parking Department's ticketing and appeals procedures, improvement of the undergraduate advising system in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and reduction of the foreign-language requirement in the College.
JAWKORSKI SAID that in the investigation of the Watergate break-in and coverup he had asked, and been refused, tape recordings, and made meetings and telephone conversations.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF the results was held up nearly an hour after a discrepancy between the number of ballots received and registered at polling booths was discovered.
In confirming that St. Clair had refused Jaworski's latest request for material, White House aides made clear that the decision had been made by Nixon himself. Eastland, reached by telephone in Mississippi, said he hadn't seen the Senate committee report. The Judiciary Committee declined to comment on what the committee might do. It has a meeting scheduled Tuesday to consider a nomination for deputy attorney general.
Asked whether Nixon was contemplating firing jaworski. Warren refused a direct response, saying the question "is not before us, the situation hasn't been raised."
There was no mention in the lengthy letter of whether Jaworski might go to court to seek the material, as did his predecessor Aribaldchock Cox. Cox was fired last October for refusing to agree not to press his case further through the courts.
John Beisner and Todd Hunter are the new student body president and vice president. They defeated Ed Rolfs and Kelly Scott.
Of 2,258 votes counted for president and vice president, Beiser and Hunter received 1,267 and the Rolfs-Scott ticket received 44 students, 44 students voted, 92 fewer than last year.
Official results of the election, which included Student Senate representatives and a majority early this morning at Summerfest, However, results of the student referendum and of the election of Graduate School area representatives weren't immediately available.
Beiser, reacting to the announcement,
said, "I'm glad it's over."

The FEO urged more states and local governments to take steps to solve long gasoline station waiting lines and other supply problems. It suggested minimum-purchase requirements and staggered delivery of gasoline was available throughout the day.
Beiserin also said he thought the campus-wide coalition victory would help to create a "strong sentence." But, he said, all the people who would be free to "vote their own minds."
Unicampus candidates took 49 of 52 positions for which they ran in the senate
"I'm very excited by the fact that the coalition was very successful," Beisner said. "This kind of success will bring unity to student government."

BEISNER AND Hunter had maintained throughout the election that their experience in student government was a point in their favor.
Nine incumbents were re-elected. Ten sought re-election
the public continues to conserve fuel and other unpredictable factors.
On two of the hottest issues, gasoline rationing and gasoline allocation, however, are among the most difficult.
Beisner has been in the senate for three years and has been a member of the University Council and three senate committees, including the Student Senate (Studebix). He is also president of the Association of University Residence Halls.
"I THINK WE will see a reduction in prices—that's what we want," he added. "The FEO told refiners to increase jet fuel production six per cent and draw from stocks to supply airlines with their February fuel allocations."
Hunter was elected to the senate in 1973 and is a member of the Parking and Traffic Board, the University Council and several senate committees. He is president of Sigma Chi Fraternity and a member of the Interfraternity Council.
Last week, based on incomplete statistics, the FEO said that some states appeared in line for much smaller proportions of the nation's gasoline supply than others, despite the allocation program's aim of nationwide equality.
Since then, "have-not" states have been pressuring FEO to redistribute the supplies
SAWHILL SAID yesterday that the FEC had conflicting data and wanted to make sure it had the right figures before it made a decision on whether state to state, to alleviate the inequalities.

Meanwhile, the distribution of present gasoline supplies for February remained in doubt as the FEO tried to get its figures or the first month of mandatory allocation.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The Federal Energy Office (FEO) announced moves yesterday to direct more fuel immediately from the refinery to crack down on propane price-poaching.
All major oil companies were directed to adjust diesel fuel and gasoline allocations to give the trucking industry all the fuel it needs.
There were still no decisions on gasoline rationing or redistributions. FEO Deputy Administrator John C. Sawhill said the agency was sending teams into 20 states and the District of Columbia in an effort to verify gasoline supply data.
Only after that is done, said Sawhill, can the FEO decide how to shift supplies around to alleviate apparent imbalances among the states.
Sawhill told a news conference here;
—THE FEO FOUND that petroleum imports averaged 4.9 million barrels a day last week, just about the level expected under the Arab oil embargo, but some 500,000 barrels a day higher than reported Petroleum Institute, an industry group.
Police Think One Man Responsible for Rapes
Although the cases vary slightly, Alexander said, the descriptions given by him are accurate.
One man is probably responsible for 15-20 cases of rape or attempted rape reported in Lawrence since May, Lawrence Police Sgt. Francis Alexander said yesterday.
According to the descriptions given by the victims, the assailant is a white male, 6 feet to 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 150-175 pounds. He is probably in his early 20s, clean shaven and has brownish wavy hair covers his ears but does not reach his collar.
The reported attacks have been concentrated in an area northeast of the city.
Alexander said that in most of the cases the victims reported that the suspect either walked or treated by them. He then turned, and grabbed the victim, Alexander said.
Over the last nine months, Lawrence police and KU Security and Parking officers have checked out approximately 50 leads in connection with the attacks, according to Alexander, but have been unable to track down the suspect.
"We're just going up against a wallk wall right now." Alexander said, "and we sure
The police have been hindered in their search by slow reporting of attacks. Alexander urged anyone who is a victim of an attack to contact the police as soon as possible so that they can begin their investigation immediately.

Hearst Denounces Saxbe's Suggestions
Randolph A. Hearst, father of kidnip victim Patricia Hearst, denounced as "dann near irresponsible" a comment by U.S. Atty. Gen. William Saxbe yesterday that if FBI agents discovered where Miss Hearst was, they would attempt to rescue her.
Saxe later issued a statement backing the FBR's handling of the case and declared he wouldn't want agents to take any action that would endanger Milti.
Heast also rejected Sabez's suggestion that the family shouldn't agree to a multimillion-dollar food giveaway demanded by the Symbionee Liberation Army, the underground terrorist group that abducted Miss Heast 11 days ago from her apartment in Berkelley, Calif.
"Mr. Saxbe isn't the father of Patricia," Hearst said. "I'm going to do what I can to get her out."
Sales of U.S. Grain to Mideast Double
Sales of high-priced U.S. grain to the Mideast are doubling this year, and government officials said there was little chance that the Nixon administration would prohibit shipments in retaliation for the Arab oil embargo.
The Agriculture Department said shipments of wheat and other grain might total $900 million in the year ending June 30, about double the sales of
Service O. Shanklin, acting sales manager for the Foreign Agriculture of USDA, said that even if the United States applied an embargo, the Service O. Shanklin would not accept the deal.
"We criticize the Arabs for the oil embargo and it would ill behoove us to adopt their tactics." Shanklin said.
