Committee Fights
Fund Impounding
THE BATTALION
Tuesday, February 20, 1973 College Station, Texas Page 3
President Hints Support For Labor
WASHINGTON M — The
House Agriculture Committee
moved rapidly Monday toward a
showdown with President Nixon
over impounding funds appropri
ated for rural programs.
It held a quick holiday hear
ing on a bill to require the Pres
ident to turn loose about $120
million appropriated by Congress
for rural water development
giants. The grants would supple
ment loans through the Farmers
Home Administration.
Another hearing was scheduled
for Tuesday to hear the admin
istration’s side of the story, with
indications the committee would
act later this week, and probably
favorably, on the bill.
Monday’s witnesses supported
the legislation, claiming many
small rural communities could not
proceed with their programs un
less they received grants of half
the projected costs.
L. C. Carpenter, vice-president
of the Midcontinent Farmers As
sociation, Columbia, Mo., said
Congress has financed the grant
program since 1965, with an esti
mated 2,650 rural water and
waste disposal systems having
been given financial aid.
James Farley of Farley, Mo.,
representing Public Water Sup
ply District No. 2 of Platte Coun
ty, Mo., said his district has been
advised to seek grants from rev
enue-sharing funds administered
by the state.
“There is no assurance there
will be any revenue sharing funds
available for this program,” he
said. “The demand for revenue
sharing funds far exceeds the
supply of such funds, and while
the need for water in this area
is great, the number of customers
to be served by the enlarged sys
tem simply don’t have enough
clout on a statewide basis to
make much of a dent in the state
legislature.”
Meanwhile, Sen. Thomas F.
Eagleton, D-Mo., introduced in
the Senate an amendment to deny
use of the Economic Stabilization
Act as authority for presidential
impoundment of money appropri
ated by Congress.
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. 6P) —
President Nixon courted AFL-
CIO leaders in a 40-minute visit
Monday and it paid off with a
strong hint of labor support for
his tough new approach to stem
U.S. foreign trade losses.
“Whether we go along depends
on the details,” cautioned 78-year-
old AFL-CIO President George
Meany in discussing Nixon’s yet-
to-be-announced trade legislation.
But Meany said of Nixon’s ap
proach, “I think the whole idea
has a whole lot of merit.”
Nixon thanked the labor lead
ers for supporting his efforts to
achieve “peace with honor” in
Vietnam, commiserated with them
over the effect of rising food
prices on workers and explained
he moved quickly to devalue the
dollar last week because there
was not time to wait for Congress
to act, according to Meany and
other informants in the closed
meeting.
“He presented, from the view
point of a trade unionist, a very
practical approach to trade” that
would involve asking Congress
for the power to use a series of
options to bargain with other
nations, Meany said.
Meany said he told Nixon that
“any nation that closes the door
on us, on our products, we should
turn around and close the door
on them,” as a bargaining lever,
and that Nixon appeared to be
moving in that direction.
In addition to economic issues,
Nixon said he expressed his ap
preciation during the meeting for
the support “most of the leaders”
of organized labor had given “our
programs of national defense and
to achieve peace with honor . .
Meany said afterwards at a
news conference: “I think he
brought the war to an honorable
conclusion.”
Meany said there were some
things on which the AFL-CIO
disagrees with Nixon, including
proposals for a lower federal
wage for teen-agers and his bud
get cuts for some social pro
grams.
In the closed meeting with
Nixon were the 35 members of
the AFL-CIO Executive Council,

After the meeting, press secre
tary Ronald Ziegler said the
President told labor leaders that
the problem of rising food prices
“will be with us for at least an
other six months” but after that
would level off because of steps
planned and already taken to in
crease domestic food supplies.
Nixon referred specifically to
rising meat prices, Ziegler said,
and noted that meat import
quotas already have been lifted.
‘Drug War’
Shapes Up
In Legislature
Texas Press Association
AUSTIN—A new kind of “drug
war” seems to be shaping up in
the Legislature.
Gov. Dolph Briscoe spelled out
his recommendations for complete
revision of drug laws and prom
ised to “lobby hard” with all the
resources at his command as gov
ernor to get the bill passed.
As introduced in the House and
Senate, it called for harsh penal
ties against dope pushers, annual
registration of those who deal in
legal drugs — and lowering the
penalty for first offense posses
sion of marijuana to a misde
meanor.
Briscoe’s bill would allow pos
session of up to eight ounces of
marijuana without risking felony
charge on first offense. However,
the misdemeanor would be pun
ishable by up to a year in jail
and/or $2,000 fine. The Governor
also called for stepped-up educa
tion and rehabilitation programs.
The bill was drawn, said Briscoe,
to mesh with the 1970 federal
controlled substance act to allow
governments at all levels to work
more effectively together.
A few days later, however, for
mer Sen. Don Kennard of Fort
Worth, who headed a Senate
study committee on drug abuse,
assailed the governor’s proposals
as “an out-and-out fraud as a re
form measure.” Sen. Chet Brooks
of Pasadena introduced in bill
form the far-reaching provisions
of Kennard’s committee.
Brooks’ bill would “decriminal
ize” marijuana possession and
set moderate felony penalties for
sales. It would also make simple
possession of most drugs (heroin
excluded) a misdemeanor and
provide for commitment of users
to rehabilitation facilities. On the
other hand, it would call for non-
paroleable life sentences of con
victed “big time” heroin dealers.
The controversy continues to
boil on the reduction of penalties
on use of marijuana — and in
creasing penalties on those who
sell marijuana or hard drugs.
H.B. 86 by Rep. Lindon Wil
liams implements more stringent
penalties on those who sell drugs.
It is backed by the Austin based
Legal Drug Control Society,
headed by E. E. Armistead.
Nixon indicated that he frown
ed upon food rationing as a meas
ure to hold down prices. Ziegler
said the President observed that
rationing had been “tried and
had not worked.”
Ziegler said Nixon stressed
that the way to cope with the
food price problem was to in
crease supplies.
The press secretary, who sat
in on the meeting and said that
no questions were asked by the
labor leaders after the President
finished his comments, said that
Nixon promised an “open door
policy” in consulting with labor
leaders on economic issues.
As for his proposed trade legis
lation, Ziegler said Nixon de
scribed a “safeguard system to
deal in over-all trade policy in
the best interest of the United
States.”
Legislative-Executive Showdown
Predicted By Minnesota Senator
A “high noon showdown one of
these days” over the U. S. legis
lative struggle was predicted Fri
day by Senator Walter F. Mon
dale.
The Minnesota Democrat who
is widely discussed as a 1976
presidential nominee would not
speculate on the date of the clash.
“I think the American people
are more decent and want to hear
the truth more than some want to
believe,” Mondale said in a Stu
dent Conference on National Af
fairs address.
The conference concluded Sat
urday its four-day examination
of controls imposed on society,
with a wrapup speech by New
York psychoanalyst Dr. R o 11 o
May.
In an unstoppered attack on
Nixon administration policies.
Mondale listed three current
threats to American liberties. He
discussed increasing power of the
executive branch, growing gov
ernment intimidation of licensed
electronic media and the press,
and use of police state tactics.
“If the president gains the
power he is attempting to obtain,
what we know as the representa
tive form of government will be
shattered,” he said.
Mondale seemed most incensed
with executive attempts to gain
power of the federal purse. The
senator mentioned President Nix
on by name only once in his 80-
minute talk.
“His impoundment of appropri
ated funds wiped out 100 pro
grams that Congress signed into
law,” Mondale said, “on a uni
lateral — and I think unlawful
— decision on his own without
telling anyone about it.”
Scuttled programs the senator
mentioned included education,
housing for the poor and elderly,
disaster loans and environmental
protection.
“Everything designed to give a
chance to people who are kind of
outside the system, the poor,
aged and those of different color
or origins, was cut out,” he said.
“We should have been listening
to the poor 100 years ago, and
we’d all have been better for it,”
Mondale claimed. “If we believe
in equal opportunity, America
will have one set of laws under
the Constitution, rather than an
extra set for special interests.”
