Witnesses Plead Fifth; Hearing Off
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate Watergate committee cancelled its scheduled Tuesday hearing after Dwight L. Chapin, former White House appointments secretary, and another witness reportedly refused to testify.
Segretti was scheduled to appear in federal court Monday in Washington. He has agreed to plead guilty to charges of insider trading in 1972 Florida primary election campaign.
A committee source said Chapin and Robert M. Benz, a Florida Young Republican leader, informed the committee that if called they would invoke their Fifth Amendment right and refuse to answer all questions.
Benz allegedly was hired by Segretti to help him in Florida. Chapin was allegedly a prosecutor.
Both had been expected to testify about political "dirty tricks."
The committee now is scheduled to resume its public hearings Wednesday with an appearance by Donald H. Sgregetti, a Republican vice-president, and President Nikon's 1972 re-election campaign.

Another Study Says To Increase Tuitions
By JOHN STOWELL Associated Press Reporter
WASHINGTON—The Committee for Economic Development has recommended that college tuition rates be more than $250 per student and established system of student and be established.
The committee, a private organization supported by business and industry, said such action would be one way of achieving higher education and equal opportunity.
The panel made its recommendations in a $400,000 report titled "The Management and Financing of Colleges," issued by the General Assembly, in general direction of the Nixon administration, the Carnegie Commission on Education, the College Entrance Examination Board.
The tuition proposal came under fire immediately from the National Student Lobby and organizations representing students in junior colleges and land-grant universities.
ALLAN W. OSTAR, executive director of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, said the proposal was "a major step toward creating a more lower-income American families."
"The CED report appears to express the views of a few multi-billion-dollar corporations and affluent private universities, as well as millions of students, for veterans seeking an
education, for labor union and farm families, not for most public colleges and universities.
The 104-page report recommends that colleges improve their management and hold down costs, by giving presidents more authority and by limiting tenure to one-half the faculty. Costs at colleges have risen in years at nearly twice the rate of inflation.
The committee suggested that tuition increases, which would cover 50 per cent of instructional costs should be made over a five-year period at four-year institutions and over a 10-year period at two-year community and technical colleges. The committee recommended the establishment of expanded student loans and grants is established, the committee said.
"IT IS IMPORTANT to recognize that under our proposal the increases in tuition are intended not to precede but to follow or coincide with the availability of funds to the prospective students to pay that tuturation, the report said. "We are not proposing the increase of under circumstances where the funds for that tuition will not be forthcoming."
Based on 1969-70 university instruction costs which averaged $1,992 a student, CED said its recommendation would raise the actual $413 tuition charge to $96 at four-year colleges. It would cost $89 at student at four-year colleges and $133 at two-year colleges.
Agnew said he believed his prospects had been reduced to "just about zero."
J. Marsh Thomson, Agnew's press secretary, said the GOP officials disputed Agnew's view of his political future.
After a weekend speech to Republican women, Vice President Spiro Agnew met privately with a group of California Republican officials. According to a spokesman, Agnew told them he believed his political career had been destroyed by the investigation, even without an indictment.
House Judiciary Chairman said events could lead to impeachment proceeding
Rep. W. Rodino Jr., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said that both the Watergate case and the investigation of Agnew might, under certain conditions, bring about impeachment proceedings against President Nixon.
Discussing the Agnew case, Rodino said it was the President's responsibility to superintend those serving in him. Therefore, Rodino said, the President is subject to impeachment proceedings if he fails to remove from office anyone serving under him who carries out such crimes.
Mansfield said the House might alter Senate reductions of U.S. forces abroad.
Senate Democratic Leader Mike ManSField had proposed a far larger cutback than the 110,000-man reduction in troop strength in Europe the
He said he believed a reduction would result from the 48-to-36 vote by which the Senate approved the reduction amendment offered by Sen. Hubert
"The House confesses don't look on it with much favor," he said. "But 'I'm not discouraged at that. I anticipate some reductions will come out of this."
Mansfield has campaigned for the United States to withdraw its military presence in Iraq and the United States couldn't afford to pay the price of a commitment established at the end of World War II.
Democratic party committee delayed final action on delegate selection quota.
The vote to delay action, taken with several members absent, seemed certain to be approved by the 17-member drafting committee, complete work on revision of the party's manifesto.
Gov. John J. Gilligan of Ohio, who had sided with reform elements Saturday in winning approval of proportional representation throughout the state, has also joined other and other party regulars this time. He urged a more general provision participation by all Democrats without any specific preferences.
The committee also voted tentatively to eliminate any special preference for women, minorities and young people.

Storms Subside But Leave Mark
Partly cloudy skies and occasional light showers made this weekend a pleasant change from last week's heavy rains for Lawrence residents.
Reminders of the recent storms are still evident at county roads south of Lawrence that remain closed and in parts of the city that are under water.
President Nixon has declared six Kansas counties that received heavy tornado and flood damage disaster areas. Operation centers were opened in Topeka and Clay Center to repair darnages, and the National Guard remained on alert to help with evacuation of the small towns near the flooding rivers.
Hardest hit was the Salina area, where the flooding Smoky Hill, Saline and Solomon rivers forced residents to evacuate communities which already had suffered severe tornado damage. Estimated flood and tornado damage between Salina and
Fort Riley was about $12 million. About 80,000 acres of land were under water.
MANY PEOPLE in this area were able to return to their homes yesterday.
In Douglas County, the Wakarusa River was receding last night. According to the National Weather Service in Topeka, the river level was 15 feet, 10 feet below flood stage. The river crested Friday 5.7 feet above flood stage. Some roads south of the city still have water on them but are passable, according to the Douglas County Civil Defense Headquarters.
The Kansas River crested at 19.5 feet Friday, 1/2 feet above flood stage. The river has been falling since then.
Stranger Creek at Tonganoxie, at 23.3 feet yesterday, was still above its flood stage but was falling. The creek crested at 24.6 feet.

Moore, who was with the Kansas Geological Survey from its inception in 1917 until his retirement in 1962, was praised by Dykes as "a distinguished geologist, a great teacher and a friend to the University."
Wescое, KU chancellor when the plans for Moore Hall were drawn up, said that the state geological survey was the "epitome of what a university is all about."
"If the people of Kansas seek the value of this University," Wescoe said, "let them look at this survey and at this man."
WESCOE SAID the survey was an integral part of the University and realized the University's ideals of research, teaching, and service.
McKelvey noted in his dedication address that Moore joined the USGS 60 years ago.
Moore, he said, played a large part in the development of both the national and the state geological surveys. He traced the
