Jack Anderson, the columnist, earlier had charged that a department anti-trust suit against the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation had been settled out of court in return for a pledge of hundreds of thousands of dollars in convention expenses. THREE CASES The magazine's report, charged that administration officials had intervened in three cases.

These involved C. Arnholt Smith, a self-made San Diego multi-millionaire who has been a close freind and. supporter of Nixon since his first campaign for Congress. John Alessio, a real-estate speculator who owns horse and dog tracks, runs a legal bookmaking operation in Mexico and is in jail for income tax evasion, and former mayor Frank Curran, who was cleared of a bribery charge a year ago but was defeated in his race for a fourth term last September. UIJ RICHARD HANNAH rarely sees boss New York Times, Copyright, 1921 NEW YORK The Nixon administration was accused in a Life magazine article Sunday of having "seriously tampered with justice" in San Diego to protect highly placed campaign contributors and friends of President Nixon from criminal prosecutions over the last two years.

In a nine-month investigation, the magazine said it had learned that "the administration' has in several instances taken steps to neutralize and frustrate its own law enforcement officials" by squelching investigations, delaying prosecutions and other means. 'PROTECT FRIENDS' This was done by the administration "in an effort to protect certain of its most important friends," Life said in a cover story entitled "How The Nixon Administration Blocked in the current issue dated March 24. Named in the allegations were officials of the White House, the justice department and the internal revenue service; the United States attorney for the southern district of California; two major San Diego fund-raisers for a en YEAR iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilliiliiiiliiliii 01 6WMN1E get plans for the coming fiscal year. a supporters of the Conservative government arc hoping that Barber will announce tax cuts designed both to help a stagnant economy achieve a new lease on life and to bolster the appeal of Prime Minister Heath's government. Recent months have seen a continuing rise in unemployment although the radical inflation which began in the late HWOs has so Conservatives insist been lately tapering off somewhat.

But the combination of gen-e a 1 1 uncomfortable cco-n i circumstances has served to reduce the Tory government's popularity. FACES IRISH CRISIS This comes at a time when Heath is faced with a continuing crisis in Northern Ireland ing perhaps most unflattering of all charges of railroading through his plans for British membership in European Common Market. In view of such circumstances the Tory government is currently under great pressure to come up with a popular budget, involving slashes in taxation and extra benefits for such needy groups as the country's old-age pensioners. As usual, pre-budget forecasts were an abundant commodity in London this last weekend before the chancellor's big day. The Sunday Express, a Beaverbrook newspaper, predicts that the Heath government might hand out reliefs of up to 1.5 billion ($3.8 billion i to taxpayers.

The Express suggests that such a move might hint at an early election. Generally speaking, there hasn't been much talk here of an election soon. HEATH UNDER PRESSURE On the other hand, Heath has been under pressure from opponents of British entry into the Common Market to call a general election on the issue. Advocates of such an approach speedily seized on French President Pompidou's announcement of a referendum in France on the market-expansion issue as an extra reason why Heath should go to the country for electoral approval of the projected British membership in the economic community. Usually, however, the pres-s for an expansionary budget has been based on what a number of experts term the need for Britain to break out of its present state of economic stagnation.

Husky Oil head moves Husky Oil Ltd. has no plans to move its head office to the United States, president Gene A. Roark said today. Mr. Hoark said changes in exploration emphasis and an expansion of refining and marketing operations in the U.S.

had made it necessary for him to move his own residence to Denver. "Our corporate head office will remain in Calgary, I will maintain an office there and I will be in Calgary frequently," Air. Roark said. "There are no plans to move any Calgary staff or functions which include our financial operations, regional marketing and the legal department." Mr. Roark said his move to Denver is tied in with a S15 million expansion of refining activities in the U.S.

and new international exploration ventures in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea. He said the only other executive to move from Calgary to Denver is exploration vice-president Jim Nielson. The Husky president said he is not aware of any exodus of oil company head offices from Calgary to the United States because of changes in Canadian tax legislation. A senior officer of another Calgary-based oil company said his firm had no plans to move its head office and any such speculation was in the crystal ball category. Worldwide Energy a small independent petroleum company, recently moved its head office from Calgary to the United States.

Torrcy Canyon oil leak still feared PENZANCE, England (Reuter) Officials in this southwest England resort fear that beaches may once again be threatened with oil pollution from the wreck of the tanker Torrey Canyon, which ran aground off the coast five years ago, The bodies of hundreds of oil-soaked seabirds have been found recently drifting near the coastline, and experts are worried that oil still in the wreck of the giant tanker could be seeping through a carpet of detergent laid over the hulk. The Torrey Canyon was sunk by bombs after oil from the stranded vessel polluted many miles of some of Britain's most popular beaches. IU A ra pi Howard Hughes' visit to Vancouver may concern a business deal involving Canadian interests, or it may not. i a Hannah, chief spokesman for the billion-aire-recluse, told reporters Sunday Mr. Hughes is here on business and that there are indications the business is Canadian in nature.

"But that's just an inference I'm drawing from the fact that be is here," Mr. Hannah said. "For all I know, it could be business in outer Mongolia." And be denied rumors that a photograph of the woidd's wealthiest recluse is about to be released or that Mr. Hughes plans to end his long seclusion by holding a news conference. Mr.

anna said Mr. Hughes has given no indication of how long he plans to remain in Vancouver. Mr. Hannah, who arrived in Vancouver from Los Angeles Friday, said he does not know the nature of Mr. Hughes' trip and has not seen his boss since his arrival.

Dr. i 1 1 i a in Austin of Simon a University said some crabs, snails and other sea animals have died, while others have survived, but "the longer-term effects, we don't know." The Vanlcne went aground last Tuesday in a heavy fog near the mouth of Vancouver Island's Barclay Sound. Since then, an estimated "7.500 gallons of heavy bunker oil have spilled irm the gashed ship.

Dr. Austin is one of -in scientists and students at a marine research centre near the wreck site. The centre was located in the area because of abundant marine life and waters that were, until last week, uncontami-natcd. Dr. Austin said he estimates as much as '20 miles of shoreline on coastal islands have been affected by the oil spill.

The ship is encircled by a plastic oil boom designed for use at sea, and officials say oil is being contained and picked up by a specially de-signed "slick-licker" a barge with an attachment for picking up oil. Salvage attempts ere suspended Sunday on request from the transport department while anti-pollution measures are taken. Pipeline From Page 1 because of the complexity of the analysis." Although the key sections of Monday's report dealt with the environmental impact of Trans-Alaska pipeline, economic and defence considerations are expected to play an important role in tne eventual decision about whether the pipeline is to be built. They were dealt with in three of the nine volumes-one of them a summary of economic and security consid-emtio the other two a complication supporting documents. In a terse introduction, the summary said no alternative to the Alaska pipeline 'is economically more efficient." but it added" that the Mackenzie Valley route is the "only equally efficient alternative." North Slope oil delivered to the U.S.

Midwest by a TransCanada route would have no more effect on prices there than would oil delivered to the West Coast by Trans-Alaska pipeline and tanker prices in the midwest would remain higher than those on the West Coast. The analysis said Defence Secretary Mclvin Laird "finds no distinct preference from a national security standpoint" for any particular delivery system indicating that the transCanada route would be considered as "secure" for American defence purposes as any other. But a special review by the White House's National Security Council resulted in the conclusion: "Earl completion of the Alaska pipeline must be considered an important national security objective."

"A 'new i i i a i on Northern Ireland will mark a new lurch towards the edge of the abyss," the outspoken MP said. In Ulster itself, one Opposition member of the Stormont Parliament declared during the weekend that he was the object of an assassinaton attempt by what he termed "Protestant extremists." The charge, which intensified fears of mounting Protestant anger in the province, came from Roman Catholic MP Paddy Devlin. It was voiced barely a day before another member of the anti-Unionist opposition i Ulster, Austin Curric. said a gunman had fired into his Dungannon home, sending himself and his wife diving for cover. Some experts in the chronic troubles of Northern Ireland suggest that Prime Minister Faulkner would never have agreed to make his Wednesday visit to London if he hadn't been told beforehand of the Westminster administration's plans for Ulster and approved of them.

In any event, predictions abound as to what Prime Minister Heath's initiative might involve and how close it would come to the recommendations made in recent weeks by the man who asked for today's emergency debate in the Commons, Opposition Chief Harold Wilson. Unofficial reports published in London Sunday predicted the Heath proposals might call for a greater Catholic role in the Ulster system of government by way of mechanisms such as the proportional representation method of voting. The forecast also was that the London authorities will be taking sharplv increased hand in Ulster security operations, either by way of a cabinet minister resident in Belfast or by some arrangement for complete transfer of security powers from the Ulster government to Westminster.

Saturday Wiliam Craig, a hardliner "expelled from then prime minister Terence 0 'N i 1 1's Ulster cabinet in 1968, again denounced the idea of compromise, as more than 50,000 of his followers cheered and waved traditional Protestant banners.

One day. if the politicians fail. it. may be our job to liquidate the enemy," declared Craig who later explained that by liquidate he meant "removal from the scene of terrorists." He insisted ton that the Vanguard would do everything possible to avoid a civil war and any need for "liquidation." But a i 's tough statements have given him a lead over Rev.

In recent months, Paisley has often been prominent in efforts restrain Ulster's Protestant majority from reacting violently against the campaign carried on in various Northern Ireland centres by the underground Irish Republican Army.
