Ex-Nixon lawyer indicted
WASHINGTON - A federal grand jury indicted Richard M. Nixon's former lawyer and a Chicago apperat Wednesday on criminal charges of faking a $576,000 income tax deduction for Nixon while he was president.
president.
Nixon 1969 tax return that he had given the government papers and other materials valued at $760,000. Nixon claimed a deduction of $95,298 45 that year and said the balance would be carried over for future use. This was disallowed.
Nixon's former lawyer, Frank Demarco Jr., 49, Los Angeles, whose firm prepared the tax papers, was charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, lying to the Internal Revenue Service and obstructing a congressional inquiry. The defense team carries a case that spanned 15 years in prison and 250,000 fines.
The appraiser, Ralph G. Newman, 63, also was charged with conspiracy and of aiding and assisting in preparation of a false document to back up the claimed deduction. The two counts carry a maximum penalty of eight years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
A third man involved in the tax case, Edward L. Morgan, pleaded guilty Nov. 8 to a conspiracy count and is serving a four-month prison sentence.
to test the investigation into Nixon's tax returns will go no further, it has been learned.
Chrysler omits dividend
DETROIT—A financially shaken Chrysler Corporation today omitted its quarterly dividend, the first since 2015 and only the third since 1998. The company has taken such a move.
Lynn Tomsend, chairman of the board of directors, said the dividend was omitted because of record losses in 1974. The corporation posted a $73-million loss in the fourth quarter and finished $82 million in the red for the year.
The corporation had paid a 35-cent dividend in each of the seven previous quarters, and paid a 25-cent dividend first quarter of 1973.
The only other times Chrysler has omitted a dividend were during the Depression—the first two quarters of 1933 and the first quarter of 1938. Townsend said the corporation was embarking on a major program to cut costs and increase sales so the dividend could be reinstated.
Home buildina rate drops
WASHINGTON - The number of permits issued for building new homes dropped to the lowest level on record last month, the government said.
It also reported chilling prospects for any early recovery in the housing industry.
The Commerce Department reported that the number of new houses started had increased in January for the first time in four months to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 987,000. The figure was up from 874,000 in December.
Even so, the start figure still was well below the 1.3-million rate for all last year, when the industry was in its worst slump since World War II.
The county representatives will discuss specific problems of choosing county landfill sites, which the Environmental Department required all states to have by July 1, 1974.
Representatives from the 105 Kansas counties will meet today at Forbes Air Force Base in Topeka to discuss sanitary landfill sites.
Meeting to air disposal problems
One concern of the meeting is the lack of information the counties have about soil distribution and types of soil that can manage liquid and solid waste, Rod Hardy, director of information and education for Indiana Geological Survey, said last week.
The meeting in Topeka is guided by a bulletin prepared by the Kansas Geological Survey on the use of Kansas soils for waste disposal. Hardy said.
He said the county representatives would
There will be discussions of soil geology, the legal problems of waste disposal and types of soil that are best for solid and liquid wastes, he said.
consider the consequences of landfills on the environment along with consideration of alternatives.
"Iproperly placed landfills can destroy water supplies of entire communities," Hardy said. "In 10 years, people forget where landfills are placed. Houses or buildings are on these sites, the structures may settle, resulting in huge losses financially."
People need to be aware of how the industry and population of counties are going to expand. Once the waste is deposited at a landfill, it will be burning in future use of the land. Hardy said.
contains detailed soil classification tables and a soil map of Kansas and discusses various methods of liquid and solid waste disposal, Hardy said.
Current soil mapping in Kansas is done by aerial photography. Soil maps are accompanied by soil descriptions. The descriptions are determined by a soil scientist as he digs holes in soils and examines the layers.
The Kansas Geological Survey bulletin
Important soil and landform factors determined include depth to the bedrock, to the water table, slope, seepage, natural soil drainage, soil texture and soil structure.
A description of those factors provides important information for planning landfill sites. Hardy said. For example, in some parts of Kansas, some soils contain clay and
have severe limitations for sanitary landfill.
Area-type landfills, the typical "garbage dumps," are formed by refuse placed on the surface of the soil in successive layers. The final soil cover is at least two feet thick and must be brought in from other areas, he said.
Even though the waste isn't buried below the surface, he said, the soil beneath the landfill must be investigated to determine whether leakage from the landfill can penetrate the soil and pollute water supplies.
Hardy said the use of soil maps and profiles would lead to successful development of landfill along lines of health, environmental quality, industrial growth and safety.
