WASHINGTON (AP) — Ken
neth W. Parkinson opened his de
fense at the Watergate cover-up
trial Tuesday by recalling a prosecu
tion witness to testify he never told
Parkinson all he knew about the
break-in at Democratic National
Committee headquarters.
Fred C. LaRue, a former Nixon
campaign aide who was a key pro
secution witness in the trial, tes
tified that he was present when Par
kinson was told that Jeb Stuart Mag-
ruder had been lying when he said
the break-in had been sponsored by
Nixon re-election committee offi
cials.
LaRue said former Atty. Gen.
John N. Mitchell gave Parkinson
“an out-and-out assurance that what
Mr. Magruder had told Mr. Parkin
son was not true. ”
“Did you have information that
would have suggested Mr.
Magruder’s statement was true?”
asked Jacob Stein, Parkinson’s at
torney.
“Yes,” replied LaRue.
“Did you speak up?” asked Stein.
“No, sir,” said LaRue.
La Rue also testified he could not
recall Parkinson being included in
any discussion of paying money to
the Watergate break-in defendants.
“I can give no explanation as to
why Mr. Parkinson was not in
cluded ... It was limited to as few
people as possible,” he said.
“And you never told him about
it?” asked Stein.
“Told him? No, sir,” replied La
Rue.
Parkinson was the last of the five
defendants to present his defense at
the trial, now in its 12th week.
Chief prosecutor James F. Neal
said 'the prosecution expects to be
finished by the end of the day Wed-

nesday leaving only final arguments
before the case goes to the jury.
Charged with Parkinson with
conspiring to obstruct the investiga
tion of the June 17, 1972, Watergate
break-in are Mitchell, former White
House aides H. R. Haldeman and
John D. Ehrlichman and former as
sistant Atty. Gen. Robert C. Mar-
dian.
During his testimony, Mardian
also acknowledged he had been less
than honest with Parkinson when he
failed to tell him all he knew about
the break-in.
Mardian said he gave Parkinson
none of the details given him on
June 21, 1972, four days after the
break-in, by G. Gordon Liddy who
bad outlined his entire involve
ment.
Mardian also acknowledged tel
ling Parkinson that the civil suits
could be defended “on the basis that
there was no connection between
the Nixon committee and the burg
lars.”
Costs up,
hut stores
dont gain
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
president of Safeway Stores Inc.,
said Tuesday that supermarket pro
fits do not contribute significantly to
rising food prices and said his firm
seeks only “a penny for the grocer.”
W. S. Mitchell, head of the
nation s largest supermarket chain,
said grocery store profits amount to
“less than one penny per person per
day in 1973 and perhaps a penny
and a quarter this year.”
Under questioning, however,
Mitchell said supermarkets base
their prices on competitors’ prices
rather than their own expenses or
changes in the farm prices of foods.
The disclosure came after Sen.
William Proxmire, D-Wis., cited i
congressional study that “raises
serious doubts as to the competi
tiveness of this industry.”
Proxmire, chairman of the Joint
Economic Committee, said the
committee study revealed that a
supermarket chain’s highest profits
and highest prices occur in geog
raphical areas in which it captures
the largest share of the market.
He also released records showing
that Safeway s net profits for the first
nine months of this year range from
1.61 per cent of sales in San Fran
cisco to 5.27 per cent in Seattle.
Safeway captured the biggest share
of the market of any grocery chain in
both of those marketing regions,
Proxmire said.
In instances where the chain’s
share of the local grocery market
was smaller, its profits were less,
the study disclosed. At the same
time, staff aides said, its prices were
lower.
In regions where Safeway domi
nated the market, its prices were
higher “by a hair” and profits were
substantially higher, aides noted.
Mitchell repeatedly denied that
the supermarket business is any
thing but fiercelyvompetitive.
Bar admits
local lawyer
The Texas Supreme Court ap
pointed H. Jack Woods of College
Station as a member of a State Bar of
Texas committee to aid the Bar’s
screening process in reviewing ap
plicants for admission to the Bar.
Woods is charged with certifying
the eligibility and qualifications of
applicants for admission to the Bar
as part of a new Supreme Court sys
tem of assuring that new lawyers
meet character and fitness
guidelines.
Each of the 17 State Bar Districts
has one district Committee, consist
ing of at least 15 members from the
district, appointed by the Texas
Supreme Court with the assistance
of State Bar president Lloyd Loc-
h ridge.
