Investigators to probe Tricia Cox's alleged faulty tax return t._ .. . ......... 9 Eastern Michigan University WASHINGTON (UPI) - Gov- ernment investigators are look- ing into the possibility that Tri- cia Nixon Cox, the President's eldest daughter, profited from the sale of Florida land bought by her father and failed to report the gain on her income tax return, Newsweek magazine reports this week. The White House called the story "false and irresponsible" and part of a "witch hunt atmos- phere" in the national news me- dia. "THE NEWSWEEK magazine story publishing charges about the President's finances and which is now becoming a national news story is false and extreme- ly irresponsible in its implica- tions and in the way it was de- veloped," the White House state- ment said. "Newsweek's decision to pub- U.S., Soviets begin troop reduction talks lish this story, developed from anonymous sources, instead of taking the time to establish its accuracy and to do so in the face of flat denials from the White House is symptomatic of the witch hunt atmosphere in which false information and harmful impressions about the President are being generated and broadly disseminated to the American people by major news media." Themagazine said Nix- on bought two lots of land near his Key Biscayne home for $37,- 600 in 1967 and sold them five years later for $150,000, leaving him a profit of $112,400. NEWSWEEK CALLED Mrs. Cox "an unrecorded partner in the deal," saying her name was not on the purchase or sale docu- ments but that "associates of the President" said the purchase price included $20,000 of her money. According to Newsweek, inves- tigators told it "they have in- formation that the President claimed the entire capital gain on the deal as income on his own federal income tax return. "Since he had established large deductions in donations and inter- est paid, the theory ran, he wolud pay less total tax in Tri- cia's share of the profit than she would have owed."

Interior Minister Col. Nestor Boletini told newsmen the pri- soners included University Rector Samuel Lichtenstein and the deans of nine of the state univer- sity's 10 faculties. THE 10TH, law faculty Dean Alberto Perez Perez, is currently in Buenos Aires, capital of neigh- boring Argentina, the Minister said. Boletini said the Rector and the Deans, who form the University's Governing Council, were being held under emergency powers adopted by the military - backed government of President Juan Maria Bordaberry when it seized absolute power last June. The government said in a de- cree ordering the closure of the University Sunday night that the council members were consider- ed "ultimately responsible" for the death of a student killed in a bomb blast in the engineering faculty Saturday because they allegedly allowed illegal explo- sives to be held in the Univer- sity. THE DECREE SAID subver- sive literature f o u n d during searches of University buildings indicated the University was be- ing used for "indoctrination of youths in the Marxist ideology, which is opposed to the democra- tic representative system of gov- ernment." The searches had also turned up explosives, material for manu- facturing firecrackers and in- flammable materials "to cause fires in public thoroughfares" in- dicating the University was also being used for "incitement to armed struggle," the decree said. It accused the University Coun- cil of failing to take "the indis- pensable measures to maintain order" claiming that by their negligence the Rector and Deans had allowed the University to be- come a "refugee for conspiracy against the Fatherland, its insti- tutions and the security of its inhabitants." THE DECREE ORDERED Ed- ucation and Culture Minister Ed- mundo Narancio to take over the administration of the University but it did not say how long it would remain closed. Boletini said an investigation was being carried out into the alleged subversive activities at the University and the results would be submitted to a military court which would decide if there had been violations of state secur- ity laws. The takeover was denounced by student sources as a move by the government to seize control of the University and end militant student opposition to the Borda- berry regime. VIENNA, Austria () - Hurting from a sharp split over the Mjd- dle East, the United States and most of its European allies meet the Soviets today for their first talks on mutual troop cuts in central Europe. Last week Defense Se:.retary James Schlesinger threatened to review the U.S. commitmznt to West Germany, where some 200,- 000 U.S. troops are stationed. Apparently he was not inclined to wait for the result of the con- ference. That could take years. LEONID BREZHNEV, the Com- munist party leader, says i h e Soviet Union will be ready for "realistic steps" in 1975. Western officials said that the task will be complex and deli- cate, and agreements aire n o t likely to be reached quickly or easily. Along with the United States, Britain, Canada, West Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg are present. Though troops on their territory will not be immediately affected, Nor- way, Greece, Italy . and Turkey are also taking part. ECHOES WERE still resound- ing of some of the harshest words exchanged across the Atlantic since World War II. 'Ihe Euro- peans, heavily dependent on Mid- dle East oil, declined to help the U.S. airlift of arms t Israel. U.S. officials, from President Nixon down, publicly voiced the U.S. resentment. The European allies also had their complaints. Some objected A FUN COMEDY ABOUT A MASTER PICKPOCKET!
