Agnew
WASHINGTON (P) - Federal
prosecutors are racing the calen-
dar to wind up their probe of
Spiro T. Agnew before statutes
of limitations run out on alleg-
ed crimes for which the v i c e
president is being investigated.
Legal arguments may be made
that the statutes on at least some
of the alleged crimes expire in
as little as three weeks, it was
learned yesterday.
Agnew is under investigation
by a special federal grand jury
in Baltimore for possible viola-
tion of bribery, extortion, tax and
conspiracy laws while governor

WALKING
TALL
"Might just turn out to be

"WALKING TALL" Is based

of Maryland.
Under federal law, prosecution
for bribery and extortion must
be initiated within five years of
the commission of the crime. Af-
ter five years, no legal action
can be taken. The statutes of li-
mitations on tax evasion and tax
fraud are six years.
The statutes on- conspiracy to
commit bribery or extortion are
five years; on conspiracy to com-
mit tax evasion or fraud, six
years.
On Oct. 22, the Maryland State
Board of Public Works held its
last major session before Agnew

left the office of governor. At
that session, seven major en-
gineering contracts were award-
ed totalling more than 5.6 mil-
lion.
These contracts involved con-
struction of approaches to the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the
Baltimore Outer Harbor Tun-
nel, the two major projects to be
financed out of a $220 million
bond issue. All records involving
these contracts have been sub-
poened by the Baltimore grand
jury.
Should the panel wish to indict
Agnew for extortion, bribery cr
conspiracy to commit either of
those crimes in connection with
the Oct. 22, 1968 awards, Agnew's
lawyers reportedly are consider-
ing an argument that the indict-
ment cannot be returned after
Oct. 22, 1973 - five years after
the meeting, sources close to the
case reported.
By that reasoning, however, the
prosecutors should have until
Oct. 22 of next year to pursue al-
legations of violation of tax laws,
the sources said.
It is known that the prosecutors

in Baltimore are moving as
quickly as possible to present evi-
dence to the grand jury.
Crucial to that effort was the
ruling last week by U.S. Dist.
Court Judge Walter E. Hoffman
that the grand jury investigation
may continue while Agnew's law-
yers and the Justice Department
battle in court over the grand
jury's constitutional right to in-
vestigate a sitting vice president.
Should the grand jury fail to
act by this Oct. 22 and should the
Justice Department wish to pur-
sue the extortion-bribery lines of
inquiry, prosecutors could argue
that the statutes of limitations
did not start to run until the day
Agnew left the governor's office
- Jan. 7, 1969 - or even until
Agnew took office as vice pres-
ident - Jan. 20, 1969. That would
mean that statutes wouldn't run
out until January of 1974.

APPROPRIATIONS INTACT:
Senate weapons
cuts overseas troc

WASHINGTON - The Senate
yesterday approved a 20.9 billion
dollar military weapons bill
providing for cuts in U. S. troop
strength overseas.
The vote was 91 to 7.
Final passage, following a week-
long debate, came shortly after
the Senate voted against a last-
minute attempt to cut 500 mil-
lion dollars from the bill as part
of a bipartisan liberal effort to
divert some spending from wea-
pons to. education, health and
other domestic programs.
The Senate first voted 51 to 47
for the cut. But then by an identi-
cal 51 to 47 margin, but with
some senators switching sides,
the Senate voted "No" when a
roll call was required under
Senate procedures to lock the cut
into the bill.
The bill now goes before a joint
mittee with the House of Repre-
sentatives, and a behind-the-
scenes battle is expected over
the troop cut issue.
The Senate approved last week
an amendment calling for the
United States to reduce its mili-
tary force of 564,000 men over-
seas by 110,000 by the end of
1975.
The Senate also approved an
amendment which would pro-
vide for cuts in the force of 300,-
000 servicemen stationed in
Western Europe if the NATO al-
liance failed to help offset fur-
ther the costs of maintaining U.S.
troops in Europe.
The more conservative House is
much less likely than the Senate
to approve such amendments.
Even if it did, President Nixon
could still veto the defense bill
as part of his stand to keep the
U. S. Force overseas intact.
The Administration maintains
it would weaken the U. S. posi-
tion in its attempts to negotiate
a balanced and mutual reduction
of forces by the NATO and War-
saw Pact powers if there was

SANTIAGO (Reuter) - The
ruling military junta in Chile yes-

the country.

violating ed with Dr. Allende's death al-
most three weeks ago, were told

"certain ideologies."
Following instruction from Ed-

Jimenez, classes commenced to-

brotherhood among all Chileans
and lectured students on the

The junta, which includes the
commanders of the three armed
forces and of the Carabineros
paramilitary police, have accus-
ed Dr. Allende's Popular Unity
Coalition government of leaving
Chile in a state of "economic
stagnation."
Senor Andres Zauschkevic, the
new Deputy Chairman of the
State Copper Corporation (CO-
DELCO), which controls produc-
tion in Chile's five large copper
mines formerly owned by U. S.
companies and nationalized by
the Allende regime in 1971, yes-
terday accused the ousted gov-
ernment of bringing the copper
industry to the brink of chaos.
Zauschkevic told miners in the
Northern Chuquicamata copper
mine that 650 million dollars in-
vested by Chile to increase cop-
per output by almost 50 per cent
had failed to produce its effects
because of inefficient manage-
ment.
The investment made between
1965 and 1970 was aimed at in-
creasing copper output from 750,-
000 to 1,100,000 metric tons per
annum by 1971-1972.
But during 1971-72 production
barely reached 718,000 tons, Zau-
schkevic said.
