The Ely see Palace announced that the president, "because of his obligations, has not had the possibility to take thr rest necessary by recurring grippe from which he has suffered this winter.

He has decided to renounce all social appearances scheduled in the coming weeks." THE COMMUNIQUE was the first official mention of Pompidou's health since reports that he was ill began circulating last March after he suddenly gained weight and developed a puffy face. Gov-; ernment officials recently con firmed Pompidou was taking; cortisone for rheumatism. Pompidou cut his official public engagements one day after Gaston Defferre, mayor of Marseille and Socialist deputy in parlimanent, demanded the president inform the nation as to his state of health.

Nixon's own Watergate investigation, Cox replied: "I have stated before and I would be to say it again that I have been assured of access to all papers, I intend to have access to all papers, and if there is any waffling on it, I intend to make the waffling plain." DEPUTY PRESS secretary Gerald L. Warren confirmed Monday that the President met several times earlier this year with Dean. Warren said it would be "constitutionally i a o-priate" to supply the logs of presidential telephone calls and appointments to the grand jury or the Senate Watergate committee. "THE PRESIDENT'S logs are not subject to subpoena," he added. He said the President discussed with Dean such matters as the statement he issued this spring about executive privilege, the Senate hearings on the nomination of L.

Patrick Gray III to be FBI director and "the President's own investigation" of the Water- gate matter which he started in March. MEANWHILE Atty. Gen. Elliot L. Richardson said Monday the courts may have to decide whether President Nixon gives White House documents to Cox.

Richardson said it would be a "great constitutional issue" because the President would have to use private counsel' to defend the documents as Cox 1 be acting as a representative of the Justice department.

THE BATTLE ON Saigon's rice route coincided with a From Doily Niwi Wirt Strvico WASHINGTON The Senate was expected to vote today on a bill requiring the Nixon administration to draw up a nation-wide gasoline and oil distribution plan. A resolution attached to the bill Monday urges the states to lower their maximum speed limits to 55 miles per hour or by 10 m. p. whichever is greater, to conserve fuel. President Nixon, who was given power by Congress six weeks ago to come up with an allocation plan, decided on a voluntary approach.

Sen. Henry a argued Monday that not voluntary, setps are needed because the shortages have been contrived by the oil companies. SEN. JENNINGS Randolph, pushed for the lower speed limit, which was added as a non-binding resolution on a voice vote. The speed limit would reduce fuel consumption and help alleviate localized shortages this summer, Randolph said.

Kohn, an ex-FBI agent, continued, "This is a particularly dangerous combination to entrust with authority to operate a racetrack, which is an endless source of law enforcement problems." Jeremy Jacobs, president of Emprise and its chief subsidiary, Sportservice, denied that the conglomefate he runs has had ties with organized crime in a statement last year to the Select Committee on Crime of the U.S. House of Representatives. Jacobs said, "Never In our more than 50 years of business service have we ever been Involved in any public or private endeavor that has reflected on our business standing, personal Integrity or individual or business reputations." It's not possible for both of those statements to be accurate. Somebody is wrong. But the precise truth about F.mprlse-Sportservice and Its involvement in horse racing across the United States is very difficult to get at.

The conglomerate's dealings with racetracks have been so extensive and so complex that no law enforcement agency or other investigative body has yet drawn together a clear picture of the enormous web of power, profit and manipulation that the corporate colossus has spun in American horse racing. It is known that Emprise-Sportservice and its subsidiaries, comprising the world's largest operator of food and drink concessions at sports events, have had concessions, loans, ownership, or other business activities in racetrack properties In 29 stales plus Ontario, Quebec, Colombia, Puerto Rico and In England.
