The smack came to the United States from France via Mexico about 10 years ago. The Houston agents have just gotten around to destroying the evidence - with a street value estimated at up to $9 million. Orangebug revisited Today marks the fifth anniversary of one of the most sordid and ignored violent incidents of the recent past - the "Orange- burg Massacre" in which three black students from S o u t h Carolina State College were killed by state Highway Patrolmen. The incident began as a dispute over the use of a segregated bowling alley, and blossomed into a full-scale confrontation in which 27 students - all black - were shot. The incident, ignored by the national media, left behind a simple monument to three youths and a deep scar; neither will soon be forgottei by the people of Orangeburg, S.C. Walk softly*... WASHINGTON - President Nixon pledged yesterday to wield "a very big stick" if necessary in Phase 3 of his "fight against higher prices and higher taxes." In comments after the swearing in of John Dunlop as new director of the Cost of Living Council, Nixon predicted success for his largely voluntary Phase 3 econ- omic program., But he told Dunlop, motioning toward a door in his oval office: "There's a stick in that closet-a very big stick, I will never hesitate to use in our fight against higher prices and higher taxes." DearM adam: WASHINGTON - In a letter approximately opening "Dear Madam," the Internal Revenue Service is seeking 93,544 dollars in back taxes and penalties from Xaviera Hollander, the now- deported New York prostitute and madam - and author of "The Happy Hooker." "It is determined that you realized gross re- ceipts of 120,577 dollars from your profession as a madam in the operation of a house of prostitution," the IRS said in its letter, without specifying how it had figured the wages of sin for the year 1970. The lettet', along with a statement from Hol- lander's lawyers denying the claim, was filed yesterday in U.S. Tax Court here. Her denial says she did not become a madam until December, 1970, and it was therefore "physically impossible for her to have had cash receipts for the year 1970 in excess of 120,000 dollars. I. .

The weather picture Today is a bonus day for all you cold weather freaks. Not only will the high be 26, but the low will dip to 15. In addition, there will be snow flurries all morning leaving the sky overcast all day. It will be a good day to sleep in late. "Budgetary cutssand program reductions are always painful," says Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz. "The alternatives are more painful." It was with this logic that last week President Nixon proposed his slashing cuts on social pro- grams developed by Democratic administrations since the thirties. According to the Nixon plan, the Office of Economic Opportunity - a keystone of Lyndon Johnson's 'Great Society' - would be eliminated. Emergency employment assistance would be cut by more than half; and the Kennedy Ad- ministration's Depressed Areas Program would also receive the axe. The Department of Housing and Urban De- velopment would approve no new projects for Model Cities, urban renewal, neighborhood fa- cilities, and a host of other areas. Federal aid in areas as diverse as rural elec- trification, school milk, hospital construction and "This Congress," the President says, "has not been responsible on money." In his annual eco- nomic report to Congress last week, Nixon un- derlined his belief that, "Only by holding the line on federal spending will we be able to reduce the inflation rate further in 1973." The Executive vs. Legislative debate centers on two issues. The first is simply the bimdget it- self, which has been attacked for its cuts in so- cial welfare spending. Senator Walter Mondale (D-Minn.), for in- stance, said, "If the President has his way, this nation will have effectively repealed all the ma- jor social reform legislation of the last 20 years." The proposed budget, which would go into effect July 1, shows a decrease, for the first time, in federal "human investment" spending for the nation's poor people. The second issue in the controversy is that of Presidential impoundment of funds already al- located by Congress. In this year's budget, Nixon has refused to allow spending of nearly $15 bil- lion already allocated by Congress. Rep. George Mahon (D-Tex.), Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Tuesday ac- cused the President of usurping "authority which no president has or ever has had." John Ehrlichman, Nixon's top economic ad- visor, claimed Monday that "Whenever it's pos- sible for the executive to save money, it's in- cumbent upon him to do so." But Ehrlichman's statements to the contrary, there is an acid fight brewing in Congress over the impoundment question. Deputy Attorney General Joseph Sneed told a Congressional committee Tuesday that the Presi- dent's authority allowed him to abolish pro- grams by withholding their total appropriations. This contention was hotly disputed by several senators present, including Sens. Edmund Mus- kie (D-Me.), who said Sneed's testimony was Congress "very much like the tone of a speech made by the President of the Philippines as a justifica- tion for eliminating the National Assembly." As long as the impoundment issue remains unsettled - which could be until it is resolved in the courts - Congress faces a double whammy on its appropriations measures. Even if Congress overrode a Presidential veto, for instance, in continuing the present Medicare program, it might face an executive impoundment of funds. The result may be a governmental deadlock. The Nixon budget policy, if implemented, rep- resents a significant change in the relation of the Federal government to the economy as a whole; and to social welfare programs in par- ticular. "This country, has enough on its plate in the way of huge new spending programs, social pro- grams ,throwing dollars at problems," the Pres- ident said shortly before his re-election.

BULLETIN Negotiating teams from the Ann Arbor School System and striking secretaries of Team- sters Local 214 reached an agreement late last night after a marathon negotiating session. According to David Trost, d ep ut y superintendent o f schools, the two sides settled on a 5.49 per cent wage hike. The union had been seeking a 5.5 per cent hike plus increments. If the agreement is ratified by the School Board and the union, as expected, it will put an end to a week-old strike which has crippled secretarial, janitorial and bus services in the schools. Col. William MacLeod, Canadian chief of the four-nation regional truce team headquartered at Hue, said he had no plans to take to the field until the parallel military team of the Joint Military Commis- sion (JMC) is in place and at work. The Joint Military Commission and the International Commission of Control and Supervision (ICCS) are the two bodies charged with supervising the 11-day-old cease- fire. Seven ICCS regional teams moved into their headquarters throughout the country Monday, but the first field outing by anICCS team was turned back Tuesday when artillery fire prevented the men from enter- ing Quang Tri City. The Saigon command reported 121 truce violations by the Com- munists in the 24 hours ending at dawn yesterday. Some of the incidents were major battles.

He left Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington for Bangkok, Thailand, at the start of a 13-day journey in which he will seek the extension of the Vietnam cease- fire to Laos and Cambodia, a friendly dialogue with North Viet- nam and improved relations with China. Nixon gave him last-minute in- structions at a White House meet- ings just before he left-the third conference they had held in less than 24 hours. Shortly After Kissinger headed for Bangkok, White House press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler re- affirmed that the presidential ad- viser will stop over in Vientiane tomorrow to discuss prospects for a ceasefire in Laos. Prime Minister Souvanna Phou- ma, with whom Kissinger is to dine tomorrow night, is optimistic about reaching a ceasefire agree- ment with the Communist Pathet Lao in about a week.
