Despite President’s tape reversal
'Nixon’s impeachment issue
not resolved / leaders pledge
WASHINGTON (UPI) —
Congress generally gave a sigh of
relief over President Nixon’s
decision to give up the Watergate
tapes Tuesday but indicated that
the action had not defused plans
for an impeachment inquiry.
Rep. Jerome Waldie (D-Calif.),
who introduced a resolution to
impeach Nixon on the House floor
only hours before his reversal,
said he felt impeachment
proceedings “should continue
until there is a full disclosure to
the Congress...”

Watergate Prosecutor Archibald
Cox was fired before Nixon

Five share Nobels in sciences
STOCKHOLM — A Japanese and an American working
for U.S. corporations Tuesday shared the 1973 Nobel Prize for
physics with a Briton for their theories advancing the world
of miniature electronics. A German and an Englishman
shared the chemistry prize for work that could help solve
automobile exhaust pollution. But a Swedish Academy
professor said their theories had not yet any practical use.
Ivar Giaever, 44, born in Norway but now a U.S. citizen
working for General Electric in New York, and Leo Esaki, 48,
a Japanese working for International Business Machines in
New York, share one-half of the $122,000 Nobel prize for their
discoveries regarding tunneling phenomena in solids, par
ticularly their work in semiconductors and superconductors.
Brian Josephson, 33, of Cambridge University, won the rest
of the prize for his theoretical predictions of the properties of
supercurrent through a tunnel barrier, particularly
phenomena called “Josephson Effects.” The Academy,
describing the chemistry prize as one in “chemistry for
chemists,” made the award to Ernst Fischer, 55, of the
Technical University of Munich, and Geoffreh Wilcinson, 52,
of the University of London, “for their pioneering work,
performed independently, on the chemistry of the
organometallic so-called sandwich compounds.” They share
a $122,000 dollar prize.
Tho turns down Nobel peace prize
HONG KONG — North Vietnamese peace negotiator Le
Due Tho has turned down the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize, which
he shared with U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger,
because he said the Paris peace settlement on Vietnam has
not been fully implemented, the Vietnam News Agency
reported Tuesday. He said he would consider accepting the
honor “when peace is really restored” in Vietnam.
South Vietnam claims truce violations
SAIGON — The South Vietnamese military command
reported Monday that 48,151 Vietnamese including more than
10,000 government soldiers have been killed since the Jan 28
declaration of peace in Vietnam. The command reported
Tuesday the most Communist cease-fire violations in six
weeks but no major battles were reported. The Saigon
command said the Communists violated the so-called Jan. 28
truce 124 times in the 24 hours ending at 6 a.m. Tuesday, the
most since 126 were reported Sept. 7.
AFL-CIO backs equal rights bill
MIAMI BEACH — The AFL-CIO Monday endorsed the
Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) for women and urged its
state affiliates to push for approval of the constitutional
amendment by state legislatures. The labor federation’s
convention adopted a resolution saying the ERA was
“precisely the kind of clear statement of national com
mitment to the principle of equality of the sexes under the
law that working women and their unions can use to ad
vantage in their efforts to eliminate employment
discrimination against women.” The AFL-CIO estimated
some 33 million women workers make up about 38 percent of
the nation’s work force, and 22 percent of heads of households
are women.
Stripper fields news questions
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Miss Nude Cosmopolitan was
besieged with questions at her news conference Monday and
the reason lay in the ground rules: she would put her clothes
back on when the questions stopped. It was all a publicity
stunt, but the newsmen enjoyed it. And so, apparently, did
Frances Nativida, a strawberry blonde dancer who just
happened to be opening a two-week engagement at a Knox
County night club. Nativida, a 25-year-old, 36-22-35 native of
Juarez, Mexico, shed her clothes on the stage of the night
club and told her attentive audience she was open for
questions.
reversed his position on the tapes
said, “I’m persuaded that the
special prosecutor was on the
trail of other affairs that came
uncomfortably close to the
President.”
“What Cox was seeking can be
discovered and found out in an
impeachment process,” he said.
Senator Lowell Weicker, a
member of the Senate Watergate
committee, said Nixon should
reinstate former Attorney
General Elliot Richardson and
Deputy Attorney General
William Ruckelshaus, both of
whom resigned after refusing to
fire Cox. Sen. Edward Kennedy
(D-Mass.), also urged that the
former Justice Department
leaders be reinstated, along with
Cox.
“Simply put, the nation cannot
afford their loss,” he said.
Kennedy credited Nixon’s
reversal to the “overwhelming
response of national outrage” by
the American people at the
President’s defiance of the
courts.
Sen. Barry Goldwater (R
Ariz.), said he was surprised by
Nixon’s action — something he
had suggested to him three
months ago — but that “he finally
did the right thing.”
While Kennedy said the
reversal had lessened the
possibility of impeachment, Sen.
Adlai Stevenson (D-Ill.), said
“nothing has changed.”
“President Nixon still insists
on controlling the investigation of
the Nixon administration,”
Stevenson said. “The tapes are a
small and unreliable part of that
evidence and he will not even
permit full access to the tapes.”
Stevenson joined Weicker in
recommending that an in
dependent special prosecutor be
re-established.

ABC news claims
existence of portfolio
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Special Watergate prosecutor Archibald
Cox uncovered a million-dollar “private investment portfolio” set up
for President Nixon and administered by his close friend “Bebe”
Rebozo’s bank, ABC News reported Tuesday.
In a report broadcast by Bill Gill, “an important witness from the
Miami area” provided the information, which was given to Cox hours
before he was fired and his office sealed off. He said the information
was also given to the Senate Watergate Committee.
Quoting “informed sources," ABC said that testimony asserts the
existence of a secret ‘private investment portfolio’ administered on
behalf of the President through his close friend Bebe Rebozo.
“Described by a source close to the investigation as the ‘Nixon
Checkers fund of 1973,’ the alleged investment portfolio is being
probed to determine whether large unreported political contributions
may have been diverted to Mr. Nixon’s personal use and whether or
not federal taxes were paid on any such amount.
“According to the Miami witness,” ABC continued, “contributions
from two international corporations amounting to more than one
million dollars may have become part of that private Nixon portfolio.”
ABC said the Watergate committee and the Internal Revenue
Service were investigating.
Douglas blasts porno ruling
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Four Supreme Court justices today
issued another angry criticism of the majority’s ruling last term
giving states and communities more leeway to crack down on ob
scenity.
“Every author, every bookseller, every movie exhibitor, and
perhaps every librarian is now at the mercy of the local police force’s
conception of what appeals to the ‘prurient interest’ or is ‘patently
offensive,’ ” Justice William Douglas declared on behalf of the
minority four.
They expressed their view as the court returned to lower tribunals
a batch of cases to be reconsidered in light of the new standards laid
down last term.
“The standard can vary from town to town and day to day in
unpredictable fashion,” Douglas said in a dissent to one of the cases,
speaking also on behalf of Justices William Brennan, Jr., Thurgood
Marshall and Potter Stewart.
“How can an author or bookseller or librarian know whether the
community deems his books acceptable until after the jury renders its
verdict? The meaning of the standards necessarily vary according to
each person’s own idiosyncracies.”
Douglas said if the magazines under discussion in the case were
truly “patently offensive” to the local community there would be no
need to ban them through the exercise of police power because there
would be no buyers.
He noted that a movie exhibitor in Georgia has been convicted for
showing “Carnal Knowledge,” a film “which received much critical
acclaim and an Oscar nomination for the female lead.”
