Haldeman book may tell of Nixon stripping naked
NEW YORK (UP1) — a forthcoming book by H. R. Haleman will reportedly include a bizarre episode in which Richard Nixon stripped off his clothes in the Oval Office, sat down stark naked behind his desk and told him, "Now what's on the agenda?"
New York Daily News columnist Liz Smith said in an article Tuesday that Haldeman, now jailed after conviction in the Watergate scandle that toppled Nixon, will "tell all" in a book to be published this coming winter.
Smith wrote that the book will show Nixon fallang in the final days of Watergate.
A SPOKESMAN for the publisher told UPI, "We neither deny nor confirm the accuracy of the story," he said of Smith's column.
NEW ORLEANS (AP)—Hurricane Anita whipped the Gulf of Mexico into froth and headed west yesterday, prompting Texans and Louisianaans to move inland.
The storm was 200 miles south of New Orleans and moving slowly yesterday evening, but was driving high tides well before it.
Hurricane Anita heads westward
At sea, offshore oil rigs were abandoned after emergency shutdown procedures. Companies fly or ferried 4,300 men to land their crude oil and natural gas operations.
About 10,000 people at low-lying points along a 400-mile stretch of the Texas and western Louisiana coast were advised to leave their homes.
Referring to the alleged stripping incident, the article said, "and that is said to be just the fruitcake part—it's deemed as nothing compared with the real goods and guts Haleman is said to have spilled in a five-week taped talkfest with ghost writer DiPhene DiMone before Haleman went off to jail for conspiracy in the Watergate mess."
Anita graduated from a tropical storm to the first hurricane of the Atlantic storm season yesterday when she sustained winds of 145 miles per hour, last night they were up to 80 miles per hour.
Winds extended 150 miles to the east and 100 miles to the west of the storm's center.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The United States now regularly depends on foreign oil for almost half its petroleum needs and is paying almost $4 billion a month for those imports—5½ times as much as in 1978—the Energy Administration reported yesterday.

When the Arab members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OPEC) cut off shipments October 1973, the United States was importing about 37 percent of the oil—a 64 percent decline in recent years.

Carter fields fuel queries, warns of shortage crisis
Carter issued the warning in answering questions on energy issues for a CBS television special. A transcript of his pre-recorded comments was issued yesterday.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Carter is warning the nation once again that "the energy shortage is here, it's getting increasingly severe throughout the world and it's going to approach a crisis stage without very much delay in the future."

The questions and the President's answers cover a variety of points that have been raised since Carter sent Congress the comprehensive energy legislation. The energy package has made its way through the intensive intact and now faces Senate scrutiny.
The questions, posed by a variety of persons interviewed for the broadcast, included a repeated theme of skepticism: Is there really a natural gas shortage?
*The energy problem* "is a difficult thing to prove when you don't have waiting lines in front of service stations . . . But there is no doubt that the energy shortage is here . . . as we continue to buy more oil over overseas, it alleviates our shortage, but in the process we need more and more dependent on foreign supplies which might be interrupted."

"But there's no doubt in my mind, or any other innings," she said. "and gas squeezed out. 'Carter'
