Agnew, who has been described as “appalled” by the administration’s handling of the Watergate affair, said Wednesday he has full confidence in President Nixon’s integrity and his ability to resolve the case. At a hastily scheduled news conference, Agnew simply read a prepared statement, then de clined to answer newsmen’s questions. “I want to make it very clear that I have full confidence in the integrity of President Nixon and in his determination and ability to resolve the Watergate matter to the full satisfaction of the American people,” Agnew said. Earlier Wednesday it was an nounced that Nixon’s top staff members have ceased their reg ular morning meetings. White House press secretary Ronald Ziegler said the change, ending a routine that had prevailed since the start of Nixon’s first term, took place two or three weeks ago. But he said it isn’t related to charges that some top staff members are involved in the wiretapping or attempts to cover it up. He also said no staff member has submitted a resignation be cause of the affair, and said H. R. Haldeman retains his spot as presidential chief of staff. Hal deman didn’t accompany Nixon to Florida on a recently complet ed working holiday. News reports had quoted as sociates and friends of Agnew as saying the vice president was upset over the affair and felt the President had done too little to uncover the facts. “Let me emphasize that I do not speak through such unidenti fied sources,” Agnew said. In other Watergate develop ments: —Atty. Gen. Richard G. Klein- dienst, who disqualified himself from the administration’s Water gate investigation last week be cause of associations with per sons under investigation, decided he would have nothing to do with a New York grand jury’s investi gation of a mutual-fund scandal either. A Justice Department March Rainfall Climbs High March rainfall in Bryan and College Station climbed well above normal levels, contributing to a soggy first third of 1973. The Carter’s Creek catchment area averaged 5.42 inches rain fall last month, making it the wettest March in more than five years. Three inches is normal. Meteorology Department aver ages for March since 1968 are 1.64, 5.18, 3.60, .20 and 1.13 inches The National Weather Serv ice’s 30-day outlook, through mid- May, includes below normal tem peratures of 69.8 degrees and normal rainfall. The 4.4-inch norm has been reached or ex ceeded, however, by most weather observers in the department’s re search project. B-CS rainfall ranged from 6.01 inches in the 1800 block of Ech ols to 4.24 inches at Easterwood Field. Steep Hollow, on FM 1179 northeast of Bryan, had 8.95 inches. March 6 and 24 showers accounted for most of the rain. Amounts were generally heaviest in the northwest quarter of the two-city area. Dr. Dennis Driscoll, project co ordinator with the departure of Dr. Robert A. Clark, noted March temperatures were above normal. The mean monthly temperature was 63.3, almost three degrees high. An 84-degree reading oc curred on March 12 and 41 was recorded on March 17. OAKRIDGE SMOKEHOUSE 807 TEXAS AYE.

A key figure, Robert L. Vesco, made large campaign do nations to President Nixon’s re- election effort as the Securities and Exchange Commission pre pared to sue him for allegedly looting $224 million from three mutual funds. News reports have also identified former Nixon campaign chief John N. Mitchell and fund-raiser Maurice Stans as subject of the probe. —Columnist Jack Anderson, after speaking with federal prosecutors,, agreed to stop quot ing from transcripts of secret testimony in the Watergate in vestigation, and said he probably will return them. But he hedged on whether he would paraphrase such testimony in future stories, and said he would never reveal where he got the transcripts. —At the White House, Ziegli said the President is “very mu concentrating” on the Water® affair, but he declined to descriii Nixon’s mood. Late Tuesday, after denyii^ a report that Nixon had cafc on Secretary of State Wiliiat P. Rogers to direct a house-cleat ing of the presidential staf Ziegler said no decision had be« made about whether to fire air staff members. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Watergate $$ To Be Traced Int DISCOUNT LIQUOR Friday & Saturday April 27-28 No credit cards accepted on sale items.

Howard Hunt when she died last year. Authorities found $10,000 in $100 bills in Mrs. Hunt’s purse after she was killed Dec. 8 in a Chicago airline crash. Her husband said at the time that the money was intended for investment in a motel. Mrs. Hunt has been quoted as saying short ly before the crash that a lawyer for the Nixon campaign was pay ing the couple money to remain silent about others in the case, and had urged them to invest some money to create some “ostensible source of income” to cover for their continued high standard of living. Most of the bills in Mrs. Hunt’s purse were traced to New York State by their serial numbers, but the Federal Reserve deter mined that it wouldn’t be able to trace those bills further. The House Banking and Cur- rence Committee, now no longer involved in the legislative Water gate investigation, asked to have the money traced shortly after the plane crash, according to a spokesman for the Federal Re serve System. The Federal Reserve distrib utes money to commercial banks. Sixty-three of the bills found in the Chicago accident have a serial number beginning with the (letter “B” which means they were distributed originally by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Some of the bills had consecu tive serial numbers, making it unlikely that they had circulated very far before reaching Mrs. Hunt. A spokesman for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said in a telephone interview that, un like in other areas, his bank does not keep track of the serial num bers on money delivered to banks in New York City. The crash that killed Mrs. Hunt also claimed the lives of 44 other persons, including Rep. George W. Collins, D-Ill. and CBS News correspondent Michele Clark. Federal air-safety offi cials are still investigating the cause. Suspicions were raised at the time of the crash that the $100 bills in Mrs. Hunt’s purse had some connection with the Water gate affair. Those arrested in the Democrats’ Watergate offices last June 17 carried pocketsful of $100 bills later traced to Nix on campaign contributions. Trial testimony established that the entire bugging opera tion was financed with cash, much of it in $100 bills, fromtlj Nixon campaign. One of the Watergate glars, James McCord, now ki told his story to a federal gram jury. Transcripts of McConli testimony, apparently gemiiK were shown to The AssociaW Press by columnist Jack And« son. The FBI and another gran jury are investigating where Aa derson obtained his material According to the transcripli, McCord said he, the Hunts ani other Watergate defendants rt ceived payments with the unte standing that they were expeetd to keep quiet.
