2A THE TIMES HERAID PORT HURON, MICH. Wednesdoy, September 26, 1973 Witness rips Watergate. panel News Muskie or any other Democratic candidate." Buchanan addressed the committee as the panel opened its probe into political dirty tricks. He is said to have been the author of White House memos that reportedly set the tone and basic strategy for President Nixon's 1972 campaign. The presidential speechwriter said the contention that Nixon's 1972 presidential campaign committee infiltrated opponents' campaign in an attempt to select its weakest opponent was altogether untrue.

"Republicans were not responsible for the downfall of Muskie; Republicans were not responsible for the nomination of Sen. (George) McGovern," Buchanan said. "The McGovern people won their own nomination and they lost their own election." Muskie was the early frontrunner for Democrats. Hunt, a former CIA agent, acknowledged undertaking a long series of covert activities for the White House and for the Committee for the Reelection of the President. Committee sources said the panel has evidence linking Hunt to another break-in, this one at the embassy of Chile.

But the matter was not brought up Tues-day. Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr. listed the aid the CIA is known to have supplied Hunt and other members of the White House Special Investigations Unit, aid used in the break-in of the office of the psychiatrist treating Pentagon Papers figure Daniel Ellsberg.

Baker asked Hunt if he could state the CIA was not involved in other domestic activities. "No, sir, nor can I say the CIA has ever stayed out of domestic activity." Hunt replied. the Democratic presidential nomination in 1972, but the Maine Democrat's campaign faltered and McGovern won the nomination. Buchanan conceded that he recommended in the spring and summer of 1971 that Republicans concentrate their political resources on Muskie because Muskie was the frontrunner at that time. "No requirement exists in ethics or logic or law that we provide equal time in political response to each of our political opponents," the Nixon speechwriter said.

The committee on Tuesday ended its lenghy examination of the Watergate break-in. Convicted Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt Jr. ended two days of testimony voicing his conviction that the Watergate operation was lawful and his belief that the break-in team was betrayed by a double agent for the Obituaries Clayton Thomson SANDUSKY Clayton Thomson, 85, a retired Custer'Township farmer, died Tuesday evening in the Sanilac County Medical Care Facility after a long illness.

The department reported a deficit of $16.6 million in August, based on exports totaling $6,004.3 million and imports totaling $6,020.9 million both of which were record monthly highs. The country had a trade surplus of $106 million in July, which was only the second monthly surplus since September, 1971. The country's trade deficit in August last year was $529 million and the over-all "deficit for 1972 was $6 billion. Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz predicted in Nairobi, Kenya, Tuesday that the United States will "have a trade' surplus next year, after three successive years of deficit.

Government officials have credited the recent devaluations of the dollar, with the sharp improvement in the country's trade picture. Exports of food and live animals were up sharply in August to a total of $1.2 billion from the July figure of $900 million, but this was more than offset by a big jump in imports. In another major economic report, the Commerce Department said its index of leading business indicators increased 1 .2 per cent in August, although six of the eight indicators declined during the month. Nation Cheaper credit NEW YORK (AP) Americans have found it costly and sometimes impossible to borrow money recently. But their tax money has helped provide relativey cheap and easy loans for U.S.

exporters and foreign companies seeking American goods. The loans some $2.4 billion worth in fiscal 1973 are made below domestic rates by the government-backed U.S. Export-Import Bank. The bank is the U.S. contender in a worldwide credit "war" in which countries offer prospective overseas buyers loans at low, subsidized rates.

Icebreaker doomed MILWAUKEE (AP) The Coast Guard says it will decommission the Great Lakes icebreaker Southwind after the winter season. Whether or not there will be a replacement for the Milwaukee-based vessel depends on Congress, the Coast Guard said. A three-year demonstration project to study the feasibility of a longer Great Lakes navigation season is scheduled to end after the 1973-74 shipping season, but legislation which would extend the project two years now is pending in Congress. If Congress extends the project, the Coast Guard said there could be a replacement for the Southwind. Increases foreseen WASHINGTON (AP) A government economist says food prices probably will continue rising for the rest of the year.
