Since last September, the statement said, the Defense Department has been substi- WASHINGTON (AP) The Defense Department announced Friday it will reduce its beef purchases by 10 per cent for the next four months in connection with President Nixon's move to push meat prices down throughout the nation. At the same time, the Pentagon moved to reduce its inventory of beef, lamb, pork, fish and poultry by 50 per cent.

The Defense Department said it annually buys 123.3 million pounds of beef at a cost of about $117.4 million. It also buys 75.6 million pounds of pork for about $46.3 million and 59.6 million pounds of poultry at a cost of about $23.9 million. "It is our intention to reduce our purchases of beef by 10 per cent for the next four months," a Pentagon spokesman said. "We could cancel all meat purchases for a period of only 15 days in view of our low stock levels. If we did stop all purchases, however, our subsequent re-entry into the market might have an adverse effect on prices." The announcement noted --'''I 1 A V- "itT'i'ttn MM rj xU WASHINGTON (UPI) The Justice Department denied a report Friday that federal agents had searched the desk of a former White House consultant and found floor plans of the Democratic party's national headquarters plus a dismantled electronic listening device.

The department issued the denial several hours after both the White House and the FBI refused comment on the report by the Washington Daily News, which quoted unidentified "sources" as saying the materials and a Spanish pistol had been seized by authorities investigating the pre-dawn break-in June 10 at the Democratic offices. "About 95 per cent of that story is incorrect," said Jack W. Hushen, head of the Justice Department's public information office. "There was no map or drawing or any other layout of the Democratic headquarters," he said. "There was no electronic eavesdropping There was one-half of a two-way intercom system, like a walkie-talkie, but smaller and its not a bug.

The gun was a .25 caliber Colt." Beyond that. Hushen said: "The FBI did not seize this material. It was turned over to them by the White House staff after the FBI requested the contents of the Both Presidential Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler and an FBI spokesman said it would be inappropriate for them to discuss the incident or information related to it as long as the investigation is pending. Speculation of possible White House involvement first arose the day after the incident when it was learned that one of five men arrested, James W.

Mc-Cord had been in charge of security for the Republican National Committee and President Nixon's main campaign organization, the Committee for the Re-Election of the President. At a news conference one week ago, Nixon said the White House had no connection whatever with the case and Ziegler said Friday that the chief executive stood by that The newspaper report focuses on Howard E. Hunt, a former agent for the FBI and the Central Intelligence Agency who had been employed at $100 a day until March 29 as a parttime con-sultant to the President's Domestic Council. Hunt, 54, was assigned to work with declassification of the Pentagon Papers and later with federal narcotics intelligence information. His position was said to put him in close contact with Charles E.

Colson, a special assistant to the President described as a political operative with many responsibilities. Hunt's name was listed in address books carried by two of the five men who were arrested inside the Democratic headquarters with cameras, bugging equipment and a little more than $60,000 in cash. He has not been seen in Washington since the incident. According to the newspaper, the floor plans, the "bug" and "a fully loaded Spanish-made automatic pistol" were found in Hunt's old desk at the Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House. The report said FBI agents questioned Hunt afterward, but that he "shed no light on the investigation." All four other suspects arrested with McCord, also a former FBI and CIA agent, have been linked with organi-z a i opposed to Cuban Premier Fidel Castro and Hunt is known to have played a major role in planning of the abortive 1962 Bay of Pigs invasion.

The deputy director of White House communications, Ken W. Clawson, said Hunt had not worked as an administration consultant since March 29 because "nobody had any more projects in mind" for him after that date. He added, however, that "when Hunt's name came up in this business, the personnel department just simply terminated his consultancy instead of waiting until June 30, the end of the fiscal year when they normally terminate all consultants whose projects have been completed."

A Tass writer claimed Fischer was disrespectful to the organizers and was placing the value of money over that of the sport of chess.

In match preparations which have already caused a lot of frayed nerves, one additional problem was that Davis carried no written authorization from Fischer to act on his behalf. But federation officials were hopeful at least that hurdle could be passed. Once Fischer earned the right to challenge Spassky, after eliminating a series of strong opponents in the challenge round, plans began to go awry for the "match of the century." There have been disputes over money, the site, lighting conditions, housing and even down to the kind of car the host federation should provide for Fischer. Friday. "The National Mediation Board handles these negotiations and we do not need the Labor Department." Rezanka said a Mutual Aid Pact MAP among airlines in which a struck carrier is subsidized by the others is the major cause of strikes in the industry.

"Since the institution of the pact in 1955," Rezanka said, "shutdowns in the aviation industry have increased by more than 200 per cent. Northwest has been the constant recipient of payments over that period." The pilots claim that Northwest has had to suspend operations 11 per cent of the time since 1960 due to strikes. Northwest officials refused to comment on the strike or negotiations. FDA Seizes Diapulse Machines By JOHN STOWELL Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The Food and Drug Administration announced Friday it has begun seizing expensive Diapulse machines described by a federal judge as "no less than sheer quackery." The first two were seized at Norfolk General Hospital in Virginia, an FDA spokesman and more seizures are planned. More than 4,000 of the devices have been sold since the late 1950s at prices ranging from $2,400 to $4,000 each to hospitals, clinics, physicians, chiropractors and other health practitioners in the United States, Israel, England, Mexico and Canada, the FDA said.

That many machines- could provide 1.5 million half-hour treatments annually at an average fee of $10 per 15 minutes, said Harry Butts, a compliance officer in FDA's division of medical devices. One U.S. chiropractor has seven Diapulse units, he said. The FDA said Diapulse Corporation of America, based at New Hyde Park, N.Y., claimed the devices could treat more than 300 medical and therapeutic conditions, including wounds, fractures, infections, arthritis, burns, bursitis and shingles. The Diapluse resembles a conventional diathermy machine used to produce deep heat treatment, the FDA said, but tests have shown they are of no therapeutic "value.

The government stopped paying medicare claims for Diapulse treatments in October, 1969. In permanetly enjoining the firm from shipping or selling the devices in interstate commerce earlier this month, U.S. District Court Judge George Rosling said Diapulse Corp. had failed to prove it devices were effective and disregarded its "obligations to the public in marketing a device which may have some medical value or, as is likely, represents no leks than sheer quackery." FDA made its first Diapulse seizure in 1965 for alleged misbranding in a case that eventually went to the Supreme Court. Butts said the FDA's legal expenses in the continuing court fight would run into "the hundreds of thousands of dollars." Winnipeg, Chicago, Seattle, New York and Miami.

"The pilots have to pay their own expenses and cannot return to their homes for at least 48 hours after the strike was called," Rezanka said. 1HE UNION spokesman estimated that the shutdown affected 50,000 to 60,000 Northwest passengers immediately. About 5,000 passengers were scheduled to leave the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport Friday, one of the 10 busiest days of the year. NWA clerks began assisting passengers with other accommodations immediately after the pickets were set in Minneapolis-St.

Paul and Seattle. Negotiations halted at midnight Wednesday and were resumed only briefly Thursday. Rezanka said no further talks were scheduled. A picket in Minneapolis said pilots presently are paid $16,800 to $48,000 a year, with most earning between $22,000 and $25,000. Rezanka said the issues that led to the breakdown of talks involved fringe benefits rather than salary.

Rezanka said unresolved issues include work rules, scheduling rules, guaranteed pay for pilots who are victims of hijackings, company physical examinations, better insurance and pension coverage which he said averages 20 per cent less than other airlines offer and more compensation for loss of flying licenses. THE PILOTS rejected a plea from Labor Secretary James Hodgson that operations continue for at least 10 days while talks continue. The Labor Department has no jurisdiction in this matter," Rezanka said "Friendship is the main thing I got out of it. We had to adjust ourselves to people. There were more than 200 girls living together so we had to learn to give a little bit," she said.

"I also came to love America more. I came to be more proud of it, and its meaning."

(AP) Northwest Airlines began what is normally one of its busiest holiday weekends on Friday with only two round-trip flights because of a pilots' strike. Northwest, the nation's seventh largest air carrier with operations from Boston to Hong Kong, was struck by the 1,600 pilots at 2 a.m.

Friday after contract negotiations which had been going on for 16 months broke down over what a union spokesman said were fringe benefit issues. The two flights between Minneapolis and Chicago were made by non-union supervisor pilots, the company said. Pilots' spokesman Robert Rezanka said about 100 crews were away from home when the strike was called. Flights were halted around the world: at Missoula, Billings and Boze-man, Bismarck and Grand Forks, N.D., Madison, FSU Gets EDA Grant The Economic Development Administration Friday awarded $42,775 to Florida State University for a program of research on economic growth among minority groups, according to an announcement by Sen.

"I've learned how the government functions," said Miss Russ, "You have to experience things to know how they work. We learned by forming our own government.

We got involved in it." Yet, Miss Rush, who plans to go to FSU after graduating from high school, feels that something besides knowledge was the most meaningful thing gained during the week. Valerie Clayton sergeant at arms Three Tallahasseeans Get Girl State Posts REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Organizers of the world chess championship said Friday the "whole match" depends on eleventh-hour negotiations between them and Bobby Fischer's lawyer on a new demand for more money by the American challenger. Andrew Davis, Fischer's lawyer and confidant, arrived on a flight from New York. The plane was to have carried the 29-year-old chess star to the site of his 24-game match with champion Boris Spassky of Russia. Fischer had booked a ticket and checked his bags on the plane, but then he hesitated.

He demanded his luggage back, got it and disappeared from Kennedy Airport in New York after holding up the flight for more than two hours. What Davis and officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation had to sort out was a fresh demand by Fischer for 30 per cent of the gate receipts collected during the match. Without the extra money, he threatened to boycott the match scheduled to begin on Sunday. It was learned that Gutmun-der Thorarisson, the federation president, spent most of the night in sometimes heated telephone conversation with Fischer's representatives in the United States. 'Synvironment' Presentation Is Scheduled "Synvironment," a multimedia presentation complete with flashing images, abstract forms and electronic sound effects, will be presented Monday through Thursday in the University Union at Florida State.

The program, sponsored by the Union Program Council and produced by graduate student Tom Hutcheson, will be presented at half hour intervals, starting at 9 p.m. in the Union Ballrooms. Admission is 50 cents. Viewers will sit in a dome-like parachute, which will be supported by a huge fan to create a synthetic, other-world atmosphere. The audience will see a 16mm color film shown simultaneously by four motion picture projectors and synchronized with electronically manipulated recordings played back on four sound channels.

The film is a mixture of real and abstract images unified into a programmatic scenario. The film presents an idea of what man may be like centuries from now.
