Cose The question for today "With today's labor-saving appliances and 'miracle' 4 "i i i'A A V. A r'- J. CS 1 'A WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon's chief Watergate lawyer said Wednesday he will move to quash a subpoena by special prosecutor Leon Jaworski for additional White House tapes. And he declines to say whether the President would abide by an adverse Supreme Court decision should the legal battle go that far. James D.

St. Clair, White House special counsel, told a group of newsmen he will oppose the Jaworski subpoena which calls on Nixon to supply by Thursday tapes and documents relating to 64 private conversations, on two grounds: 1 Jaworski already has ample material to carry out the prosecution of persons already indicted in connection with the Watergate scandal. 2 Material that might aid the defendants in protecting their rights is contained in the massive volume of edited tape transcripts Nixon made public Tuesday, and all other exculpatory material is being provided to the defendants as it is discovered at the White House. The attorney's plane to seek the quashing of the Jaworski subpoena could lead to a legal court battle over access to the tapes such as the one that led to the firing last October of Archibald Cox, the original Watergate special prosecutor. In the autumn case, a U.S.

District Court judge and a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled that Nixon had to surrender the tapes, which he eventually did without carrying his case to the Supreme Court. St. Clair was asked if Nixon would abide by a Supreme Court ruling, should the battle with Jaworski go that far and lead to an adverse opinion. He said he had not discussed that possibility with Nixon and declared, "I wouldn't want to comment one way or another." St.

Clair also disclosed that the House Judiciary Committee staff is seeking tapes of 141 or 142 additional presidential conversations, beyond those unveiled Tuesday in edited form. He expressed hope that the committee would evaluate the pages of edited transcripts provided already by Nixon and decide not to press the matter. Since the additional requests are understood to deal principally with controversies dealing with milk producers and the International Telephone and Telegraph St. Clair was asked if he was suggesting that the Judiciary Committee, in its impeachment inquiry, should "forget about milk and ITT." "Based on what I know about it," St. Clair said, "the answer is yes." He said he had seen no basis for any charges against Nixon in those matters.

A reporter noted that one of the transcripts made public Tuesday indicated lengthy discussion by Nixon and his former counsel, John W. Dean III, about a blackmail effort by one of the original Watergate defendants. Asked if he thought it was proper for the President to discuss blackmail and possible ways to meet it at length in the White House, St. Clair replied: "I'm sure if he (Nixon) had it ot do over again, he wouldn't." Another reporter pointed to one transcript in which Nixon seemed to suggest that sworn witnesses who could be expected to testify about Watergate might suffer from faulty memories when on the stand. "As the President said," St.

Clair responded, "there are (See NIXON, Page 14) xlebra Murders' him 11 Suspects Arrested Bulletin fabrics, what is your hardest spring housecleaning task?" The answers Mrs. Ed Cornelius, Acres-A-Plenty, Bismarck "I would still say the carpets." Mrs. Fred Appert, Hazelton "Probably cleaning out the closets." Mrs. Lyle West, 511 13th St. "Scrubbing the walls." Mrs.

William Macdonald, Moffit "Washing windows." LIONESS Mrs. Robert P. Miller, wife of Bismarck's school superintendent, claims a unique distinction she was once a member of the McClusky Lions Gub. It came about because the Lions was the city's only civic club and Mrs. Miller was running the family grocery store while her husband was "off in Minot teaching school." They decided that as a store owner she should attend the Lions meetings, and she was able to dispel any family misgivings about her all-male dinner companions by pointing out that she always sat next to George Thorn then Sheridan County states attorney, who later became a district judge.

KINFOLK SOUGHT Bernice Rotter of Box 323, Adrian, is seeking information about any relatives of her family still in the Mandan area. Her parents left North Dakota some 40 years ago and her mother's name was Amanda Frances Bailey. Others in her mother's family were brothers George and Manfred and sisters Florence and Lillian. The writer adds that her parents worked for a rancher named Archie Swanson.

BRIGHT NOTE It was an almost instant love affair between members of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra who spent three days here last week and the students for whom they played and demonstrated. The musicians much admired the school plant and equipment and the active intelligent participation of the children. At Jeanette Myhre School they announced they were about to play a trio for piano, violin and cello written by a man whose first names were "Ludwig Van" and asked who knew his last name. "Van Dyke" was the prompt response from a little girl whose father apparently enjoys a cigar.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate Wednesday passed a bill requiring every motorist to buy insurance protecting himself against medical expenses and wage losses resulting from traffic accidents. The final vote of 53 to 42 sent the revolutionary no-fault insurant" bill to the House. Under no-fault, a victim's expenses would be paid by his own insurance company regardless of who caused the accident. were booked on charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder and charges of assault with a deadly weapon, Barca said. He gave no details on the other arrests, all made here, but said the other four men would be booked on conspiracy to commit murder.

Police said a kidnaping charge also was involved but did not explain. Police did not indicate whether they anticipated further arrests in the case. A police officer who said he was on one of the arrest squads said: "We broke down the door because they refused to open it. He was wide awake. He never had any chance to offer resistance." The officer declined to give his name or say which of the six arrests he took part in.

The Grove Street apartment where Green lives is in a predominantly black neighborhood of housing projects, small businesses and Victorian houses on the edge of the city's Western Addition district. It is near the scenes of several of the Zebra shootings. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Six black men were arrested Wednesday in the Zebra street shootings in which 12 whites have been murdered and six others wounded in random attacks over a six-month period, police said. Chief of Inspectors Charles Barca identified the men as J.C. Simon, 29; Larry Green, 22; Dwight Stallings, Thomas Manney, Manuel Moore and Edgar Burton, all of San Francisco.

He said Simon and Green were arrested first, in a 5 a.m. raid at an apartment. They tit i AP Wire Photo The Wrong Babe elsewhere and doesn't seem too concerned about her audience.

But Jennifer Phillips has her attention fixed Neigum Will Seek His Second Term On County Board Burleigh County Commissioner George Neigum of Bismarck Tuesday announced sold to Minnesota meat packers. NFO officials said dairy cattle were being picked up at Dickinson, Beach, Flasher and Sterling. They said they wanted to cut back the supply of milk producing cattle in an effort to raise prices. "The price of milk to dairy producers dropped 70 to 90 cents in two weeks," said Calvin Schockman, Bismarck NFO spokesman. "Grade 'A' milk prices will drop later.

This is very unfair to these dairy producers and NFO members are not going to sit back and let this happen." Schockman said NFO figures show it cost $10.15 per hundredweight to produce milk and dairy cattlemen were losing money on the effort. He said North Dakota NFO members will continue to sell dairy cows each week until the price of raw milk is pushed back up. By The Associated Press North Dakota National Farmers Organization members were planning their second regional dairy cow sell-off to protest milk prices Wednesday.

Last week a 19-year-old German girl caught in this situation while visiting Bismarck went to the Missouri Valley Family YMCA. What she received from the YMCA was not only a way to communicate with society but friendship and fun.

When the YMCA launches its 1974 Building Fund Campaign Thursday it will be with individual needs such as hers as well as community services in mind. The goal of the drive, which will conclude at the end of June, is to raise $700,000 to complete the YMCA building planned in 1969. Because of the lack of funds only half of the originally planned complex was finished in 1971. YMCA members feel they must complete the organization's facilities to continue providing individual and community services, according to Evan Lips, 203 W. Owens campaign general chairman.

More than 500 community groups used YMCA facilities in 1973 along with 3,500 members, according to Fred Mullen, resident campaign director. Groups that use the include Bismarck High School, Cathedral School, Mary College, special education classes of the Bismarck school system, Bismarck Junior College, School of Hope, Juvenile Court, Parents Without Partners, Boy and Girl scouts, the Harold Schafer 209 W. Owens the honoroary co-chairmen. Lips, the general chairman, works with an advisory group in formulating general strategy and soliciting large advance gifts. Division which starts work Thursday, is headed by Robert P.

Hendrickson and Francis Larson. They are assisted by Roy Rockstad, rural Bismarck, and Richard L. Jacobsen, 208 E. Kavaney in running the 40-person division. Division is scheduled to begin work May 16.

William Wood, 311 Remington and Chris Dahl, 1261 W. Highland Acres are in charge of a staff of 100 workers. The 160-person Division scheduled for a May 23 kick-off, is led by Harold Ormscth, 1132 Pioneer and Richard Falconer, 1317 22nd St. The General Community Group (Division E), with a staff of 260, will start work May 30. The group, headed by Robert Roesler, 1254 W.

Coulee and Milton Hochhalter, 1413 21st plans to contact 1,300 people in the community. To research and organize the campaign the consultants firm of Jerold Panas and Partners, Chicago, 111., was hired. The resident director of the drive is Fred Mullen, a member of the Panas firm. He has helped organize the campaign and is responsible for many of the day to day campaign operations. Ritterbush Brothers of Bismarck is the architect and engineer for the building.

A design group from the Buildings and Furnishings Service of the National YMCA is working with the architectural firm during planning and construction. he will seek re-election to the county board this fall. The terms of three of the five commission members, Neigum, Jake Swenson and Duane Hummel, expire this year. Hummel last week announced he would not seek reelection. Contacted Tuesday, Swenson said he has not yet decided whether he will run again but would be making a statement within the next two weeks.

A vice president of Dakota Northwestern Bank, Neigum is completing his first four-year term on the commission. He is currently chairman of the board and also filled that position in 1972. In announcing his candidacy, Neigum said, "I feel it is essential that the commission be truly representative of both city and rural people of the county, and that my nearly four years on the board have given me an understanding of the needs of both in the short and long-range planning for the future." Neigum has been in the banking field since 1955 and a resident of Bismarck for the past 18 years. He is married and has two children. Activity Spaces These spaces are for general workout, weights, physical conditioning, special exercise programs and activities like judo, karate and wrestling.

There also will be multi-purpose areas equipped for activities such as tumbling, gymnastics, ballet and twirling. Handball-Racquetball Courts Two regulation handball-racquetball courts will be open on a first come, first served reservation basis during all regular hours, and at other times by special arrangement. Gymnasium Mullen said the gymnasium will be large enough for a full court basketball. There also will be flexible walls that will make it possible to divide the gymnasium into as many as four separate activity areas. Lockers and showers also will be added to accommodate new activities and take care of the anticipated increase in building use, Mullen said.

Plans have been made for other additions if the fund drive should go beyond the established goal of $700,000. The campaign sturcture consists of five divisions, each responsible for a certain segment of the community. The division campaigns will be launched in approximately two week intervals. Each division is expected to conclude its work within one week. The fund campaign is headed by Christian P.

(Chris) Yegen, rural Bismarck, and Law Enforcement Council and the State Penitentiary. To meet the growing demand for services the following additions are planned for the YMCA: Teen Center The center will give young people a place away from the little kids, Mullen said. It will be furnished, decorated and equipped to reflect current teenage tastes and life style. Craft Center This facility will contain kilns for ceramics, potter's wheels, quilting frames, spinning wheels, facilities for silk screen work, poster making, fine arts drawing and painting, puppet making, weaving, macrame, leather work, candle making, jewelry production and other arts and crafts. Meeting Rooms One will be outfitted for small classes, group work, experimental theater, musical activities, traditional club activities and meetings having similar requirements.

The second room will be equipped to provide special programs of primary interest to women and girls. Health Clubs There will be special-fee health clubs for both men and women; they will have lounge areas, locker rooms and special exercise areas.
