The Michigan Daily Vol. LXXXV, No. 27-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Friday, June 13, 1975 Ten Cents Twelve Pages HOUSE CIA INVESTIGATION POSTPONED Nedzi seeks to leave panel From Wire Service Reports WASHINGTON - An angry Rep Lu- cien Nedzi tried to resign yesterday as chairman of the House Intelligence Com- mittee in a move that immediately halted the House Central Intelligence Agency investigation. The committee's public questioning of CIA Director William Colby was abrupt- ly cancelled because Republican mem- bers refused to attend in the wake of Nedzi's (D-Mich) declared intention to resign. THE HEARING was cancelled by a subcommittee whose chairman, Rep. James Stanton, (D-Ohio), said outside the hearing room he knows the Central Intelligence Agency was involved in "successful assassination plots." Stanton confirmed twice a Cleveland Plain Dealer story that he knew there had been at least one successful assas- sination in which the CIA was involved -but refused to elaborate. Stanton refused to say who was as- sassinated, how the CIA was involved or to give any other details. BUT A committee member, Rep. Mi- chael Harrington, (D-Mass.), said Stan- ton was probably quoting "in-house gos- sip" because the committee has not re- ceived such information from the CIA Nedzi, filed a letter of resignation with Speaker Carl Albert, who quickly put the issue on ice by deferring any action until Monday. Nedzi's sudden move appeared to have been prompted by the claims of some Intelligence Committee members that he is soft on the CIA and incapable of overseeing impartially the Intelligence subcommittee's scheduled investigation of the agency. THE LAST straw for Nedzi came Wednesday night when the full Intelli- gence Committee voted 6 to 1 to dis- approve his attempt to name the five members of the CIA subcommittee - including himself as "ex-officio" mem- ber but excluding several Democrats who have criticized him. The drive to oust Nedzi erupted after disclosure that the CIA briefed Nedzi more than a year ago on political as- sassination plots and domestic spying without Nedzi taking any action. Nedzi had said he hoped the compro- mise creation of the CIA subcommittee would remove any question of whether he had a conflict of interest and he would remain chairman of the commit- tee investigating all U. S. intelligence agencies including the CIA. BUT HE said the Democrats stripped him of power at a caucus Thursday by requiring that all 10 members of the full committee also be members of the CIA subcommittee. Rep. Robert Giaimo, (D-Conn.), said the committee Democrats want Stanton to move up as chairman of the full com- See REP., Page 9 Gandhi won't NEW DELHI, India 0) - Prime Minister Indira Gandhi yesterday refused to resign from office despite being con- victed of using corrupt prac- tices to win her parliamentary seat. The crisis embroiled India in its warst constitutional tan- gle since independence 25 years a go. The 57-year-old prime minis- ter sent word through her aides that she would fight the convic- tion and the mandatory sen- tence of being barred from holding any public office or con- testing any election until 1981. JUDGE JAG Mohan Lal Sin- ha, the one-man tribunal who ruled against Gandhi in her home city of Allahabad, gave the prime minister a 20-day re- prieve before her ban on hold- ing public office would become effective. Sources close to the prime minister said she would use the period to file her appeal with the Supreme Court and get the reprieve further extended to remain in office until the issue is finally settled. The leadership of the ruling post Congress' parliamentary party formally asked Gandhi in the evening to "lead and guide the country as prime minister" des- pite the guilty verdict. GANDHI, WHO has ruled India since 1966, indicated to a crowd a nearly 2,000 well- wishers who came to her resi- dence to cheer her after the verdict that she would remain in office as long as possible.
