Breault's resigna- tion was seen as the result of a drive by Democratic commis- sioners, who now control the board, to remove remaining Re- publican appointees. Ilreault said, "The way things have been around here . . . you spend half your time defending yourself instead of doing your job."

Dope note WASHINGTON-According to a former highly-placed narc, Federal agencies fight with each other over who gets credit for a major bust with as much zeal as they pursue major drug traf- fickers. And, according to former Drug Abuse Control Bureau director John Finlator, such squabbles hurt the Feds' work. "There is a built-in incentive for an agency and its director to focus on the lower level of the heroin traffic where penetration is easier and arrests and seizures are easier to come by," says Finlator.

Offshore drilling resumes WASHINGTON-The Interior Department has quietly started clearing the way for resumption of offshore oil drilling inside an area once proposed as an oil-free "sanctuary" of Santa Bar- bara, Calif. Interior Department spokesmen said yesterday the department has no legal right to continue blocking oil opera- tions in the sanctuary. If the control-loosening process is carried to completion, exploration and development off the Santa Bar- bara coast could resume within a year. It was halted by former Interior Secretary Walter Bickel in January, 1969. No-Doz nirvana ROSEVILLE-"I can take sleep or leave it." With those words, 18-year-old Marshall Maynor is beginning a wide-eyed _ assault tomorrow on the world's record for sleeplessness. The Guiness Book of Records lists the record for remaining awake as 11 days, 18 hours and 15 minutes, set in 1968, and Maynor thinks he can beat it. "Many people think I'mp crazy," he says. Sexy airwaves subdued WASHINGTON-Broadcasters of a radio program that fea- tured women describing their experiences of oral, sex were hit with a $2,000 fine by the U. S, Government yesterday. The Federal Communications Commission said it slapped the fine on the Sonderling Broadcasting Corporation for obscene and inde- cent discussions of oral sex on a talk show. The proposed fine of radio station WGLD of Oak Park, Illinois, is the first since the government watchdog agency announced late last month it would investigate and crack down on "topless;" broadcasts. The crackdown is designed to check a growing trend of no-holds- barred discussions of sex by listeners who are invited to tele- phone in and talk about their sexual experiences and love lives. Venice wins reprieve ROME-Parliament yesterday. gave the final go-ahead to a historic law for saving Venice from sinking into the sea with its heritage of architectural and artistic wealth. The bill, which allots the equivalent of $15 million to the giant task, got its final approval from the Senate (upper house) after languishing In Parliament since November 1971. The money will be spent over five years to restore damage from pollution and decay, and to start massive public works projects to stop the lagoon city from being engulfed by the Adriatic Sea. At present, parts of the city, Including Saint Mark's square, are covered by high tides each winter. The city has sunk on its foundations about 5% inches since 1908.a On the inside .. . .

Soviets rebuke Israel's Lebanon'H.s Senator ...... criticizes f X011 S budget WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Sen. Hubert Humphrey, (D-Minn.) said yesterday the administration's jus- tification of President Nixon's bud- get cuts would not be sufficient for a "sophomore debating course." In releasing the White House Of- fice of Management and Budget (OMB) report justifying 108 bud- get cuts, Humphrey said the ad- ministration was being "clever, diabolical, deceptive," in dealing with Congress on the budget issue. Asked if he was accusing Nixon< personally of deceiving the Con- gress and the public, Humphrey,. said, "Mr. Nixon must take re- sponsibility, but in many of these items I think the President was not fully informed by his staff." The material sent to the Joint Economic Committee to justify budget cuts "consists of undocu- mented assertions, descriptions of programs, inconsistencies, errors of logic and fact and a great deal of extraneous material," Hum- phrey told a news conference. Humphrey said- the administra- tion's estimated $17 billion savings in fiscal 1974 from the cuts in- cludes $8 billion in "political cos- metics." He said, for example that a de- clared $2.7 billion saving in social service grants was "as phony as a $3 confederate bill" because Congress actually put a spending An entire wall of the huge Gen ceiling on those grants, and that yesterday morning injuring fou $2.7 billion could not have been spent anyway.

Sam Ervin (D.-N.C.) yes- terday denied repbrts of an agreement for presidential aides to testify i the Senate Watergate investigation, but the White House said there had been communication on the subject. Amid growing Republican pressure on President Nixon to cooperate in Ervin's in- quirv, presidential press secretary Ronald Ziegler told reporters the White House was conducting "ongoing communication" with thQ committee on whether the aides would be allowed to appear. But as for a published report that ground rules already had beenworked, Ziegler said: "It is incorrect to state that any de- cisions have been made." , And Ervin said of the report: "I can't cer- tify that. I know of no-agreement." The senator did say on Thursday, however, that he thought White House aides now were prepared to testify voluntarily. Both Ziegler and Ervin, who heads the special Senate committee investigating the bugging affair, were responding to a Chicago Tribune story which said arrangements had been made for testimony by "any Nixon administration official whose name has been linked publicly to the Watergate case or who was in a position to have pertinent knowl- edge of President Nixon's re-election cam- paign activities." Their statements came as convicted Wat- ergate conspirator James McCord Jr. met again in private with staff investigators of Ervin's committee. McCord and his legal counsel declined to comment as they left the meeting, and chief committee counsel Samuel Dash said he had cautioned them against saying anything about the testimony. Rep. John Rhodes (R-Ariz.) c the House Republican Policy joined in growing demands by makers that Nixon soften his stan tive privilege and allow aides t they know about the Watergate b Sen. Howard Baker Jr. (R-Tex Republican on the Watergate also urged Nixon to cooperate. "I think the President ought1 men up here," Baker said in a with the Washington. Star-News. they ought to be permitted to tes lic and under oath." Ziegler, asked to comment on; the Los Angeles Times that. Vic Spiro Agnew was "appalled" at dent's stand, said: "Everyone is the Watergate burglary. I don't comment on that story." SEN. HUBERT HUMPHREY: The administration is ' being "clever, diabolical, and decep- tive." "It would not stand up as ma- terial for a sophomore debating course," said the former vice president, who released the re- port in his capacity as chairman of the subcommittee on consumer economics. Humphrey also blasted the ad- ministration for saying that if Congress overrode all of Nixon's planned vetoes of several spend- ing programs, a 15 per cent tax in- crease would be necessary. "'There is not one scintilla of evidence that this would lead to a tax increase," he said, "except to conjure up some political hob- goblins." Hu m p h r e y announced he would begin hearings Tuesday on consumer related budget cuts be- fore his subcommittee on Consum- er Economics, with OMB director Roy Ash his first witness. Police release facts on extortion attempt Police yesterday released some details of the failed ex- tortion attempt Thursday night that led to a two-hour evacuation of University Towers and a bizarre game of hide- and-seek between police and a suspect on US 23 north of town. According to Police Lt. Richard Hill, the management of University Towers was contacted by telephone shortly before 8 p.m. Thursday night by an anonymous man who said he would destroy the building with a bomb unless he was paid S$100,000. Police and building officials im- mediately evacuated the building and began a room by room search. r "At the same time, a University Towers official collected the money aind drove it to a pre-arranged ren- 4LS dezvous point at Warren Rd. and US 231 chairman, "'harassment of the Police said that the University Towers official misunderstood his y Burns after union officials in instructions from the extortionist, th the state Burns office. and failed to make the drop, with Burns. uards say, have But nolice did snot an utombnhile Smost* Uiiydlu d ky thirteenth not up to snuff t By AMY HANNERT Folklore to the contrary: For most University students, Friday the Thirteenth was just another "Itday. ratdy"sasPu The sun shone brightly, the birds wsang, the sky was pure blue.
