Hughes aids drug bust in own hotel
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON - A corporation owned by billionaire Howard Hughes gave federal drug aagents $20,000 to mount an undercover operation against a suspected child sex offender at legal hotels, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said yesterday.
The money was used in February 1973 to finance activities of two undercover agents for the bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDN) as they gambled at the casino in the Frontier Hotel trying to infiltrate a suspected drug ring, DEA officials said.
The money was supplied by the Hughes.
owned Summa Corp. as part of an agreement between the bureau and a private detective agency that provided information to the DEA. Brosson, acting chief inspector for the DEA.
"I certainly wouldn't approve of such an operation, and I know (DEA Administrator John) Bardlts would!", Brosan said. "It's bad for the government to be asking favors from anybody who owns gambling casinos."
DEA, the successor to the BNDD, was formed in July 1973, several months after the so-called "Operation Silver Dollar" took place.
The operation came to light during a continuing Senate investigation, which
gambled away the entire $20,000 supplied by Hughes as they infiltrated the suspected drug ring. However, they never were able to trap the suspect into a sale of narcotics.
Ultimately, Brosaan said, the suspect introduced the agents to members of a San Diego drug ring, and four arrests were made. Her arrest led to several groups of cocaine in Mexico.
VIENNA—Arab oil ministers are meeting to consider resuming the oil embargo to win concessions from Western countries, Arab sources said yesterday.
Arabs meet to consider resumption of oil embargo
Libya's oil minister said the Arabs would confer during the sessions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which began Thursday.
The informants emphasized that the meeting, which is taking place in connection with a conference of oil exporters, would be attended by the key member, the all minister from Europe.
Miller, who appeared with Bennett earlier at an independent oil association convention, immediately replied that he didn't have time to "arrege politics" with Bennett.
Bernett said he thought voters deserved a full airing of issues in state government and that they had a right to know where each candidate stood on major issues.
The official topic of the conferences is supposed to be a development corporation among the Arab countries, but other countries also hold the oil embargo would also be discussed.
From the Associated Press
Saudia Arabia's oil minister recently warned that the oil embargo could be used again to win political concessions from Israel and the West.
Bennett demands more debates; Miller refuses to 'argue politics'
The Arab ministers are members of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries, which is different from OPEC, although their memberships overlan

"We are hopeful that his refusal and reluctance to debate the issues don't indicate that he lacks the courage of his convictions to face the judgment of the people of Kansas," said Bennett, who is president of the Kansas Senate.
From the Associated Press
Bennett said at a news conference that he had accepted 20 invitations for joint appearances but that Miller had accepted only one.

Libya has never abandoned its embargo
The OPEC meeting was to consider a cutback in oil production to maintain prices. The company has recently dropped because of a decrease in油价 of two million barrels of crude oil.
Also on the agenda were proposals to raise taxes on oil corporations and to increase the oil prices from company concessions.
earlier discovered that fugitive financier Robert L. Vesco paid $3,000 to have federal agents search his quarters for hidden electronic bugging devices. Bosnan said.
From the Associated Press
As described by Brosan, Operation Silver Dollar was designed to net a convicted narcotics trafficker who was suspected of selling drugs at the Frontier Hotel.
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia—Ethiopia's rebel armed forces deposed Emperor Haile Selassie yesterday, climaxing a six-month takeover. Selassie was arrested and accused of embezzling from the government while his nation starved.
Lt. Gen. Aman Micheal Andom, 51, a popular war hero, emerged as the new leader. Aman was defense minister and chief of staff during the prolonged takeover.
"I'm not going," Selassie, 82, was quoted as saying to the soldiers who came to his palace. But the brail emperor—once adored by 26 million people at the Conquering Lion museum in Paris—was in the back asack of a blue Volkswagen police care and taken away, witnesses said.
Experts said these actions would result in price increases.
The two agents in the case apparently
A military broadcast said Aman was chosen chief of the anonymous 13-man military committee in power and thus became the temporary head of government.
About 170 former officials were arrested and charged with corruption and misuse of funds.
Selassie, the world's oldest and longest-reigning monarch, was reported taken with his family to Koka Palace, 52 miles east of here.
The military rebels promised democratic elections and land reform Ethiopians relied on.
All international flights were canceled
and a long-time curtail was placed on the
entire year.
Wholesale price rise largest in 28 years
The news means higher prices for consumers because wholesale increases usually are quickly added into retail prices. This is especially true for food.
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON-Wholesale prices rose 3.9 per cent last month, indicating that the government may be getting worse, the government reported. The increase was the largest in 28 years.
run around arguing politics. The most important thing in this campaign is that I'm taking my program to the people and listening to their concerns rather than arguing politics with my opponent."
The Department of Labor said the increase had been caused mainly by large spurts in the prices of industrial goods and agricultural products. Spokesmen attributed the agricultural price increases to the summer drought in the Midwest.
Wholesale prices have risen at an ad-
justed annual rate of 37.3 per cent during the
year.
Kenneth Rush, White House economics counselor, said recent predictions that military time to about 8 per cent from current 11 per cent probably wouldn't come true.
Last month's increase pushed wholesale prices 17.8 per cent higher than a year before and further dimmed the prospects of any significant easing of inflation this year.
Administration economists indicated they were again revising their forecasts.
Last January, administration economists forecast a rate of 4 per cent by the end of the year.
"He may be very experienced in law enforcement and he may have had some great successes in that area, but his experience is less practical than it is practically non-existent." Bennett said.
Bennett stressed his own experience as a legislator and questioned Miller's ability to lead the movement.
Miller said he would appear with Bennett in a statewide television program just before midnight.
