Inn WASHINGTON WP) — Strip ping the president of full power to impound funds would reduce him from chief executive to chief clerk, the Justice Department told Congress Tuesday. Joseph T. Sneed, deputy attor ney general, also said Congress has shown no signs it has the capacity to insure balanced budg ets or control inflation. Sneed testified before a Sen ate Judiciary subcommittee while the battle of the budget raged in both House and Senate. The House Rules Committee cleared a bill to resurrect a pop ular farm program, the Rural En vironmental Assistance program. House action is expected Wednes day. And after a White House meet ing with President Nixon, Repub lican congressional leaders quot ed Nixon as saying he would take whatever steps necessary to keep his new budget intact. One lead er predicted a substantial number of vetoes. Sneed said the nation needs the impounding authority vested in the president to check over spending by Congress. “The exercise of this authority by the President to promote fiscal stability is not usurpation. Rather it is in the great tradition of checks and balances upon which our Constitution is based,” he said. Sen. Sam J. Eiwin Jr., D-N.C., and other senators said unre strained presidential power to im pound funds which Congress has told the White House to spend is not now either checked or bal anced. Ervin said the fact that other presidents had impounded funds does not make the action consti tutional. Sneed said it is his legal judg ment Nixon has the power—de rived from the Constitution and various acts of Congress—-to kill entire programs or withhold any percentage of congressional ap propriations without consulting Congress. The farm program (REAP) was killed in late December by the Nixon administration on grounds it was a low priority item. The legislation cleared for House action would earmark $225 million for the program during the year ending June 30. Democrats on the House Agri culture Committee said Congress should set spending priorities, not the president. At a Senate Labor subcommit tee hearing, the administration said that a new $1.8 billion voca tional rehabilitation bill was just as objectionable as a similar one vetoed by the President last year. Stephen Kurzman, assistant sec retary in the health and welfare department, said the funds in the bill were far too high and would raise false hopes. Corona Could Get Parole In 7 Years HANDCUFF! THE POLICE or the CRIMINALS? PATRICK GRAY (Director FBI) Will Speak At: NOON FEBRUARY 15 MSC BALLROOM SCONA XVIII ADMISSION FREE SACRAMENTO, Calif. (A 5 ) _ Juan Corona, convicted in the na tion’s biggest mass murder case, can be considered for parole aft er seven years even though he has been sentenced to 25 consec utive life terms in prison, state authorities said Tuesday. “He can only serve one life,” said Earl Halderman, a spokes man for the California Adult Au thority, the state’s parole grant ing agency. Corona, 38, was sentenced Mon day by Superior Court Judge Richard Patton in Fairfield, Calif., after a defense motion for a new trial was rejected. Special prosecutor Ronald Fa hey said later that the effect of the consecutive sentences would be to deny Corona any chance of parole because he would have to serve seven years of each sen tence, or 175 years, before he could be eligible. But state parole and other au thorities said Tuesday that is in correct. Halderman said the law is that any sentence of consecutive life terms is treated as one life sen tence. A state appeals courts up held that interpretation in 1945, he said. Philip D. Guthrie, a spokes man for the State Department of Corrections, said the Adult Au thority must begin considering pa role after seven years of a life term is served. But he said he doubted Corona would be given serious consideration for parole until he had served a much longer portion of his sentence. liked around A&M. His concert was probably the best G. Rollie ever saw. His new album, “Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only the Piano Player” has captured the musical energy that vibrates from his live performance. It is fascinating to consider what Elton John felt like only five years ago when he was an overweight organist in a crummy English rock band. With all the music bouncing in his head, he knew he could be a star if he only had the chance. Like his song off the new album, “Teenage Idol” says, “Every kid alive gonna know my name, An overnight phenomenon . . . king of the scene. I’m gonna be a teenage idol, no matter how long it takes— You can’t imagine what it means to me. I’m gonna grab myself a place in history.” So Elton got after it. He ad vertised for a lyric writer and Bemie Taupin answered his news paper ad. Taupin, who also had unfulfilled visions of grandeur, moved in with Elton and his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. John. For nearly a year the two dreamers collaborated in seclusion, then used studio musicians to produce their first album, “Elton John.” The music was beautiful, every body remembers “Your Song,” but it was easy to get lost in the album’s complexity. However, the record did what John and Taupin had hoped for, they were able to book an Ameri- LL Hi cert, Elton John discardedfra; multi-layered songs onhisill and instead ripped through ion Sp bers like “Honky Tonk Wou and “Jumping Jack Flash."
