Kissinger offers deal
OTTWA, Ont.-Secretary of State Hate A. Kissinger said yesterday he wouldn't turn over State Department documents subpoenaed by a congressional committee but would agree to submit "a general summary of views on all subjects."
In Washington, the House Intelligence Committee had issued a subpoena for a memo written by helioguillaud of Operation Opium chief who alleged that the committee crushed the Crysmic crisis by
As the committee's deadline passed Wednesday, Kissinger instead submitted a letter offering a compromise.
Klissinger, who has been visiting Canadian leaders, told reporters that no department documents would be turned over to Congress, nor would junior officers
The contents of the memo at issue have never been disclosed. A former ambassador to Cyprus has testified, however, that lower officials tried to get information from the State Department.
Northron claims dubious costs
WASHINGTON—A Pentagon report released yesterday says Northrop Corp. billed the government for $6.1 million in questionable costs, and accuses company officials of some deliberate deception and apparent violations of law.
Northeast's comproller, in an official response to the audit report, said it was almost totally wrong and based on legal misunderstandings.
The Pentagon said Northrop claim reimbursement for $3.9 million in inadequately documented consultant fees, $2.1 million in possible lobbying and entertainment costs at the company's Washington office and $84,000 in operating expenses whose passengers sometimes included federal and state officials riding for free.
The document, dated Aug. 6, was drafted by the Los Angeles office of the Defense Contract Audit Agency which oversees Northrop's contracts with the Pentagon. It was released yesterday by Rep. Asinp D-Wis, who said it showed uncriminal activities and possible criminal fraud by Northrop employees.
The report said higher Pentagon officials should decide whether to reclaim some or all of the $6.1 million from Northrop, but conceded that much of it could be
The Air Force referred the report to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in mid- September, officials said.
Although virtually all the $1. million had been previously cleared by auditors as allowable, the report said questions now have been raised by Northrop's admitted illegal political donations, overseas payoffs, hidden cash funds, extensive employee and lobbying activities and alleged milieu representations to Pentagon officials.
ATHENS-Pollution over the past 40 years has caused greater damage to the ancient monuments and churches than they suffered in the previous four decades. The Nations report said.
Constantine Tripathis, Greek minister of culture, said antiquity experts from UNESCO proposed an immediate start on protection of the 2,500-year-old marble temples and statuary. They said the famed monuments overlooking the city of Athens should be covered with plastic or nylon for the winter.
Trians said the report stressed that if protective measures weren't taken before winter, "the monuments might be irretrievably damaged."

Judge J. W. Lowry has scheduled a hearing Friday in Atchison County District Court on the motion of the county officials. The motion requests that a verdict against the attorney general be reached immediately on the basis of the pleadings and without a trial.
'Error' blamed in crash
HARTFORD, Comm.-Police conceded yesterday that an officer should have been directing traffic at the corner where President Ford's car was struck Tuesday night and blamed "human error" for the failure to assign a traffic cop. The President wont hurt when a car driven by a teenager crashed into his apartment. The only injury reported was a broken finger suffered by Frederick K. Bielbeck Jr., Republican state chairman, who sat next to Ford on the trip to the airport.
Project funds ready for housing repairs
Within the next year, repair work costing $50,000 will be done on the homes of Lawrence's elderly, handicapped and low-income persons, according to an East Central Kansas Community Action Program (ECKAN) contract that the Lawrence City Commission approved Tuesday.
The money, to be used for repair materials, will be allocated from Lawrence's community development grant, the Rook, ECKAN director, said yesterday.
STOCK SAID THE $50,000 would be spent on owner-occupied homes in Lawrence. To be eligible, a homeowner must have a household income of at least $50 for each additional resident, he said.
In addition, the commission approved a $10,000 grant for labor for the ECKAN
Basisically, the homes are to be brought to standards of the city housing stock, Stock said. Community development restrictions, which cost than $1,000 can be spent on any one home.
Stock said storm windows would be installed and caulking, weather stripping and insulation would be added to winterize the homes.
To eliminate health and safety hazards,
Stock said, the roofs and stairways would be reained.
One full-time training supervisor will be hired, Stock said, to supervise a 15-member CCNW task force. They on the task force must be empowered on the power for a repair project for two weeks.
Homes to be repaired have yet to be selected, Stock said, pending consultation with Kyle Andregg, city-community development director. However, Stock said, most of the homes would probably be in the same general area.
UNDER THE APPROVED contract, the training supervisor will receive an annual salary of $7,600. Workmen each will earn $160 for a two-week period.
Stock said he would recommend that residents of homes requiring only minor repairs apply for low-interest loans or grants from other community development organizations that need more than $750 in repairs. He also included in the ECKAN project, he said.
Those selected to do the repair work must also be from low-income brackets,
Few surprised by report of Watergate prosecutors
Instead, the prosecutors sent their evidence to the committee which later voted to recommend Nikon's impachment. A judge ordered Nikon as an unjudged co-conspirator.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The Watergate Special Prosecution Force said in its final report yesterday that before the country is faced with another scandal like Watergate, Congress should decide if an incumbent is vulnerable to criminal indictment.
Tucked between blue cardboard covers, the 277-page final report contained no surprises and few previously unknown facts about the scandals which led to creation of the office 28 months ago. Nor were there suggestions for major institutional reform.
Former special protector Leon Jaworski concluded in the winter of 1974 that a Nixon indictment would be rejected by the Supreme Court, and would prolong and interfere with the House Judiciary Committee's impeachment inquiry, the report said.
"The worst time to answer such questions is when they arise," the report said. "Perhaps, the best time is the present while the memory of recent events is fresh."
The report said once it became clear that former President Richard M. Nixon took part in the Watergate cover-up, one of the toughest decisions faced by the prosecutor's office was whether to indict him along with his senior aides.
—No one who served as a president's campaign manager should be nominated or
confirmed by the Senate as attorney general;
- There should be much greater oversight by congressional committees over investigative and intelligence agencies which do their work in secret;
— Congress should set out clear guidelines on whether officials of companies regulated in the state may make political contributions to the presidential or congressional campaigns.
NYC to slash more city jobs
NEW YORK (AP)—The layoff of several thousand more city workers moved closer to reality yesterday as the state's Emergency Financial Control Board gave D. Beame and D. Bamee a slash to another $200 million from New York City's budget.
Faced with the threat of a massive strike by municipal employees, Beame refused to specify how many additional workers would be allowed. The reason is reasonably sure it will be in the thousands."
One city hall source said the total could reach 8,000.
Figures released by city hall showed the budget cuts, including $38.73 million from social services including welfare, $19.53 million from police, $8.32 million from firemen and $12.69 million from environmental service including sanitation.

3 defendants volunteer kickback testimony
TOPEKA (AP)—Three defendants in the architectural contract kickback case who are due to go on trial in a month voluntarily swainse County District Court yesterday.
THEIR TESTIMONY CAME as something of a surprise in this first six trials scheduled in the nearly two-year-old grand jury indictments alleging a $30,000 political contribution was made to Docking's 72 re-election campaign in June. The case is expected to contract on the University of Kansas Medical Center expansion project.
The three, Charles C. Worrell, Kansas City, Mo.; Edwin W. Corpp, Overland Park; and Robert B. Jarvis, Kansas City, Kan, were the seventh, eighth and ninth witnesses called by the state in the trial of the Kansas City mechanical engineering firm of Burgess, Latimer and Miller and six of its members.

Jarvis said he would have testified for the
injury in this trial had he been asked.
The three said they had been promised nothing by the state in return for their property.
Jarvis said he delivered the envelope to McLain's apartment and met Richard L. Malloy, former appointments secretary to Robert Docking, while there. Jarvis said he left the envelope on a divan in the apartment and departed.
JARVIS TOLD THE JURY he was upset in October 1972 when Campbell instructed him to deliver to the Mission apartment of former state Architect Kenneth R. McLain an envelope containing cash collected from principals in the Marshall and Brown firm.
"He assured me it was quite proper to take it," jarvis said. "I just didn't want to take it." I hadn't been involved in the resentment, but I couldn't resist the resentment about getting involved in it."
Bennett said he still hadn't decided whether to call former Atty. Gern. Vern Miller, who also has been subpoenaed. He said it was a possibility the state could be in presentation today, but said it would depend upon some ruling. He didn't elaborate.
time, the eight made cash contributions based upon an assessment formula based on their percentage of ownership in the firm, Campbell said.
FISHER, WHO WAS CHAIRMAN of the board of the company in 1972, instructed him to collect the money each time, Campbell said.
Judge Michael Barbara interrupted testimony yesterday to warn spectators that he would tolerate comments within earshot of the jury.

The judge said he had the power to impose regulations on spectators to ensure the jury wasn't subjected to outside influence during the trial. The judge told the movement in and out of the court room.
