NOT LINKED TO CASE:
Watergate committee says no'
evidence on aide Halden
By The Associated Press
Farmers kept their cattle away
from market and consumers kept
their shopping carts away from the
meat counter yesterday, the fourth
day of the week-long meat boycott.
A U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture spokesman in Memphis, Tenn.,
said receipts were "well below
normal for hogs and cattle"both;
only, half as many cattle were de-
livered to the Union Stock Yard
in Portland, Ore., this Monday
and Tuesday as were available the
same days last week.
Frank Register, executive direc-
or of the National Association of
Retail Grocers, said spot checks
with members showed the average
reduction in meat sales nationwide
is 40 per cent.
He said total sales are about the
same, but meat spending has shift-
ed . from red meat to poultry and
fish. "At this time, the retail groc-
er has no cause for alarm because
the same amount of money is be-
ing spent."
Register said the boycott is ap-
parently more effective in higher
income areas. He said the, boycott
apppeared most effective in Chi-
sago and on the East and West
coasts. He gave no data to sup-
port his observations, but said his
findings we~e based on spot checks
made with members since the boy-
cott began.
A staff report of the 4 o i n t
Economic Committee of Congress,
predicted that grocery store prices
would go up 10, per cent this year
- and possibly morecunder certain
circumstances.
Thestudy, released by Sen. Hu-
bert Humphrey, (D-Minn.), dis-
agreed with a report of the Nixon
administration's Cost of Living
Council which said the rate of in-
crease in food prices may be neari
zero by the end of the year.1
Kroger Stores in the Roanoke,!
Va., area advertised sirloin, T-bone
and club steak at $1.49 a pound,
compared to $1.89 in previous
weeks, and ground beef at 89 cents
compared to $1.09 earlier.
A spokesman for the Virginia
Citizens Consumer Council w a s
optimistic about the long-range ef-,
feet of the boycott. "We think the
results will show that the boycott
has been very effective," t h e
spokesman said.
In contrast, however, Joseph'
Danzansky, president of Giant
Food Stores, a Washington, D.C.,
retailer, said that although busi-
ness in meat is down, prices won'tj
necessarily be lowered. "We'll
drop prices when prices drop for
as," he said.
A spokesman for Jewel F o o d
Stores in Chicago said the chain's
meat sales are down 15 per cent,
but added: "Our concern right now
is maintaining adequate supplies of
meat because of reduced market-
ing by packers and farmers."

WASHINGTON (Reuter) -
Senator Sam Ervin, (D.N.C.) said
yesterday his special Senate
committee investigating the bug-
ging of Democratic Party Head-
quarters at the Watergate had so
far received no evidence linking
White House Chief of Staff H. R.
Haldeman with the incident.
In a statement, Ervin said: "In
the interest of fairness and jus-
tice, the committee wishes to
state publicly that, as of this
time, it has received no evidence
of any nature linking Mr. Hal-
deman with any illegal activities
in connection with the presiden-
tial campaign of 1972."
Republican Senator Lowell
Weicker (R-Conn), a member of
the committee, Tuesday called
for Haldeman 's resignation, de-
caring Haldeman clearly had to
accept responsibility for a broad
campaign of political espionage
against the Democrats.
Weicker said today he "con-
curred" with the Ervin state-
ment which his aides claimed
was not inconsistent with Weic-
ker's position. This was that the
senator believed Haldeman
should resign since he had over-
all responsibility for a broad
campaign of political espionage
and that he should have known
about it, because of his posi-
tion in the White House.
Attorney General Richard
Kleindienst meanwhile promised
today to conduct a thorough in-
vestigation of the Watergate in-
cident, including summoning
White House aides before a fed-
eral grand jury if evidence show-
ed they were implicated.
"I'm going to investigate this,
no matter where chips may fall
in the end," he told reporters.

Senate fights Nixon
impoundment powers
WASHINGTON (R) - The Sen-
ate moved toward action yester-
day on a tough Democratic pack-
age to put a ceiling on the federal
budget and sharply restrict Presi-'
dent Nixon's power to impound
money appropriated by Congress.
By 2 to 1 margins, the Senate
defeated two Republican attempts
to kill and water :down the im-
poundment measure, sponsored by
Sen. Sam Ervin (D-N.C.).
The impoundment fight was only
one of several amendments com-
ing before the Senate on a bill
which formally backs up the de-
valuation of the dollar which went
into effect in February.
"This provides that Congress will
retain the power of the purse,"
Ervin shouted to the Senate in de-
fense of his impoundment amend-
ment.
Republicans said, however, the
Senate was takipg away the Whie
House's chief weapon to fight in-
flation without putting anything in
its place.
Sen. John Tower (R-Tex.) said
the bill has the effect of changing
"the chief executive to the chief
clerk."
"This is a mandate to spend,"
said Tower, "without regard to ef-
ficiency, common sense or econ-
omy."
Nixon wanted a ceiling on t h e
budget but no restrictions for now
on how to spend or cut federal pro-
gram money.
Ervin estimated that President
Nixon has impounded a total of $12
billion in funds appropriated for
highways, hospital building, health
programs and other projects.
