Wednesday, January 29, 1975 JUL THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three DGE MUST RULE Nixon might get be WASHINGTON (P) - Richard Nixon's hundreds of elephants, his collection of gavels and political cartoons are in boxes, ready to be shipped to San Cle- mente, Calif., if a federal judge gives his okay. Nixon's lawyers went into fed- eral court yesterday to get that permission and were promised a ruling by the end of the week. THE 250 to 300 boxes contain no White House tapes or Water- gate memoranda - not even the eyeglasses Nixon got while in office, or pictures of daugh- ter Tricia's White House wed- ding, or a globe of the moon. Congress recently passed a! law prohibiting the transfer of any materials relating to Nix- on's term as president, and a court order has put a ban on shipping anything. But Nixon's lawyers say the elephants, gavel collections and some other items were brought into the White House by Nixon when he took office in 1969 and therefore aren't affected. They also ask things that accumu- lated after the President re- signed Aug. 9. R.

Slongings avoid packing items acquired during Nixon's presidential years - such as the eyeglass- es, pictures of Tricia's wedding and the moon globe. "Nothing relating to the for- mer president's time in office will be shipped to California," Mortenson told U. S. District Judge Charles Richey. The Justice Department, rep- resenting the White House, con- curred and told the judge au- thority to ship the material ex- pires Feb. 9 - the end of the six-months transition period. A Justice Department lawyer' suggested Feb. 3 as the ship- ping date. THE SPECIAL prosecutor's office said it was satisfied from inventories of the material that it could be sent. But attorneys for others who have asked ac- cess to Nixon presidential docu- ments objected. In a report to the judge, the White House said archivists ex- amined all of the Nixon papers in his old office and "determin- ed whether they predate or post- date Nixon's term as Presi- dent." The report said whenever there was a question of when an item came into Nixon's possession,sthe archivists re- lied on Rose Mary Woods, Nix- on's long-time personal secre- tary and administrative assist- ant. WILLIAM DOBROVIR, rep- resenting columnist Jack An- derson in a suit for access to Nixon materials, objected that "documents were selected by archivists who work for the defendants the White House and when there was a question they consulted . with Rose Mary Woods who works for Nixon." He said he wanted an oppor- tunity to examine inventories, the right to consult with his cli- ent and some procedure for: impartial arbitration if there was a dispute over a specific item. "I simply do not think a mat- ter of this importance can be handled in the cavalier way in which it appears to be handled by the plaintiff and the defen- dants," Dobrovir said. Richey ordered inventories of the boxes' contents delivered to all parties in the suit over Nixon papers by Wednesday evening and ordered lawyers to refrain from telling even their; clients what the boxes contain. PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (A') - Rebel gunners on bothl sides of the Mekong River pour- ed heavy fire yesterday on ar 16-ship convoy trying a new run of the perilous gantlet to isolated Phnom Penh, but there was no immediate reports of casualties, military sources said. The convoy, the biggest to at- tempt the run since insurgent forces blocked the Mekong Riv- er lifeline a month ago, con- sists of five freighters, four fuel tankers and .seven barges load- ed with rice, ammunition and other vital supplies for hard- pressed Phnom Penh, the sour- ces said. TWO SMALLERcon- voys reached Phnom Penh last week, but the ships suffered considerable damage from in- surgent fire during their haz- ardous 60-mile trips upriver from South Vietnam. One skipper said he didn't think he'd ever make the trip again and another said it was the most difficult of his 10 runs. Captains on the run make $50 a month and crewmen $120. They are paid by Sea-Pac, an American subsidiary of Alaska Barge and Transport. IN OTHER Indochina devel- opments: -Rebel gunners fired five rockets into Phnom Penh's air- port and the northern part of the city, killing six persons, A MN ARB tR C police said. Field reports said three gov- ernment navy boats ferried about 80 wounded refugees from the besieged ferry town and naval base of Neak Luong, 32 miles southeast of Phnom Penh. Neak Luong is an important base for guarding the Mekong shipping channel for resupply convoys to Phnom Penh. -The Saigon command said 45 government troops and 121 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong soldiers were killed in small clashes and rocket and mortar attacks in the 24 hours ending at dawn. -Twelve opposition deputies issued an open letter to the U. S. Congress, calling for an end to South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu. The letter said Thieu does not represent the majority of the 20 million South Vietnamese and that "increased aid to Thieu only helps him to flatten the South Vietnamese people. To increase aid is to increase prisons, more opportunity for Thieu to increase coercion." -Hanoi said the United States must halt reconnais- sance flights over Vietnam, pro- vide it with reconstruction aid and end "military involvement and intervention" in South Viet- nam to obtain a peaceful set- tlement of the war. Cambodian rebels hit support convoy NVIC THE1ATRE presents TARTUFFE' demns a whole industry." Abourezk said it 'seemed to him a thorough investigation was warranted, but Levi told him that, considering the num- ber of companies involved, there is at least in that sense "a great deal of competition in the oil industry." Levi, president of the Univer- sity of Chicago and former dean of its law school, was a top aide in the Justice Depart- ment's Antitrust Division dur- ing WWII and later served as counsel of a House antimonopo- ly subcommittee. HE TESTIFIED for the sec- ond day in a row on his nomi- nation by President Ford to suc- ceed William Saxbe as attorney general. Committee members said there is a possibility of a clos- ed session Wednesday to act on his nomination. All indications were that the committee would recommend Senate confirmation. LEVI SAID no industry was exempt from antitrust investi- gations, but he testified: "I don't want to say an industry LEVI ALSO said he believes the death penalty can be an ef- fective deterrent for a limited number of crimes if it is en- forced. He said that providing for the death penalty for too many crimes would make it unen- forceable. He testified that policy in an area of this kind should be made by the legislative process rather than by the courts. "We shouldn't say that every time we get a difficult problem, the Supreme Court should handle it," he said. Levi also testified that he does not believe newsmen have or should have an absolute privilege against disclosing con- fidential sources if called for questioning by a grand jury.

Can an organization of com- petent, self-provisioning communities and regionol groupings sustain them- selves primarily by skilled and conservative management of biotic pro- cesses and flow-energies, rather than by overdraft on fossil fuels and high-energy technics? Mr. Van Dresser, together with Florence Van Dresser at the first three sessions, will explore the answers to these questions.
