'Earthy'
Nixon
tapes
could
be
made
public
WASHINGTON
(AP)
-Richard
Nixon's
Watergate
conversations
with
his
associates
were
quoted
extensively
in
print
and
made
headlines
during
the
1974
cover-up
trial.
Now,
the
public
may
be
allowed
to
hear
.
those
incriminating
and
some-timesearthy
tapes.
A
court
ruling
Tuesday
to
allow
copying,
broadcast
and
sale
of
30
White
House
tapes
used
as
trial
evidence
displeased
Nixon's
lawyer,
who
plans
to
appeal
the
decision.
"The
effect
of
the
(U.S.
Circuit)
Court
of
Appeals
decision
is
to
permit
the
commercial
exploitation
of
the
recordings
of
presidential
conversations
subpoenaed
for
use
in
a
criminal
trial,"
Herbert
Miller
said.
The
court
noted
that
"the
tapes
already
have
been
played
in
a
public
forum"
and
said
Nixon's
claim
of
"intrusion
on
the
sensibilities'
of
those
whose
voices
appear
on
the
tapes"
is
groundless.
"The
tapes
at
issue
are
not
recordings
of
bedroom
or
other
intimate
conversations,"
the
court
said.
"The
embarrassment
Mr.
Nixon
anticipates
is
largely
that
which
results
whenever
misconduct
or
questionable
conduct
is
exposed."
Nixon
had
fought
through
the
courts
to
withhold
that
tape
and
63
others
from
Watergate
prosecutors.
When
the
Supreme
Court
finally
ordered
him
to
provide
them
as
evidence,
Nixon
made
the
contents
of
several
June

conversations
public
and
resigned
three
days
later.

Excess
profits
listed
OTTAWA
(CP)
The
anti-inflation
board
has
named
96
companies
which,
it
said,
earned
greater
profits
than
they
should
have
during
the
early
months
of
the
government's
year-old
compulsory
wage-and-price
restraint
program.
The
companies,
including
several
big
food
manufacturers
and
a
number
of
retail
firms,
have
filed
plans
to
cut
excess
revenues
either
by
deferring
price
increases
or
by
reducing
existing
prices,
the
board
said.
'
Board
officials
named
the
firms
at
a
news
conference
here,
telling
reporters
that
they
obtained
prior
permission
from
the
affected
companies.
Board
executive
director
Robert
Johnstone
said
the
companies
in
effect
earned
higher
profits
than
allowed
under
price
guides.
But
the
board
prefers
to
use
the
term
"excess
revenue"
to
avoid
sinister
connotations
of
price
gouging,
he
said.
Many
companies
simply
had
higher
sales
volumes
than
expected
or
made
other
miscalculations
that
lead
to
increased
revenues,
he
said.
The
list
included
41
companies
earning
excess
revenues
of
more
than
$10,000
for
a
total
of
$4,450,800,
which
'agreed
to
have
their
names
and
the
amounts
of
excess
revenue
made
public.
Another
19
companies
had
excess
revenues
totalling
$3,703,000
but
refused
to
allow
the
board
to
reveal
specific
amounts.

his

against

"The

Pen
probe
starts
OTTAWA
(CP)
-
Another
study
of
Canadian
penitentiaries
was
launched
Tuesday
night
when
13
MPs
were
named
to
do
a
cross-country
investigation
of
prisons.
The
result
of
disturbances
and
riots
in
Quebec,
Ontario
and
British
Columbia
prisons
in
recent
months,
the
study
of
a
special
sub-committee
of
the
Commons
justice
committee
will
stretch
well
into
next
year.
The
sub-committee
scheduled
its
first
working
meeting
for
Thursday,
but
even
before
that,
questions
were
being
raised
over
whether
the
exercise
was
the
correct
way
to
approach
a
troubled
and
increasingly
violent
situation
in
Canadian
penitentiarieis.
There
was
some
political
bickering
Tuesday
and
fears
were
expressed
there
would
be
more.
It
was
noted
that
a
similar
sub-committee
in
1973
achieved
nothing
and
that
the
results
of
many
inquiries
and
royal
commissions
have
been
ignored
by
government.
The
sub-committee
has
broad
terms
of
reference
that
includes
investigation
of
maximum-security
prisons,
site
of
most
troubles,
but
also
allows
study
of
medium-and
minimum-security
prisons,
the
influenza
vaccination
program,"
the
Edmonton
doctor
told
a
news
conference.
The
CBC
said
in
a
national
newscast
that
the
committee
would
recommend
the
program
be
scrapped.
Dr.
Dixon
said
the
11-member
committee
concluded
its
twoday
meeting
here
Tuesday
with
the
decision
that
its
recommendations
on
the
$12
million
swine
flu
inoculation
program
should
"remain
substantially
unchanged
from
those
made
in
June."
He
said
some
minor
changes
had
been
made,
including
broadening
the
chronically
ill
category,
but
he
refused
to
be
more
specific
because
the
committee's
recommendations
have
not
yet
been
seen
by
federal
Health
Minister
Marc
Lalonde.
Dr.
Dixon
said
the
committee
met
to
review
the
results
of
United
States
trials
of
the
vaccine
on
human
subjects
because
most
of
these
trials
concluded
after
its
June
recommendations.
He
said
based
on
the
results
of
the
U.S.
trials,
there
should
be
no
harmful
side
effects
from
the
vaccine
among
pregnant
women
or
the
elderly.
Children
should
be
given
a
watered
down
version
of
the
vaccine
spread
over
two
shots
so
they
can
built
up
resistance
to
the
flu
without
becoming
unduly
sick
from
the
shot,
he
said.
Some
people
can
expect
to
feel
some
side
effects
from
the
shot,
he
said,
but
for
most
people
it
will
be
no
different
from
an
ordinary
inoculation.
Dr.
Dixon
defended
the
vaccination
program
against
criticism
in
both
Canada
and
the
United
States
by
saying
the
committee
has
made
"a
medical
and
scientific
judgment
of
what
we
believe
proper
to
do."
