Dr Is on the dignitaries including Mayor Kyle Testerman A Stanley Webster podium with other Gov Dunn and By DAN THOMASSON Ocrtoet-Hiword SMI WrMr WASHINGTON The US Supreme Court in a historic test of the doctrine of separation of powers has agreed to decide whether a President has the right to withhold evidence in i criminal proceeding And in the court's ruling could rest the fate of Richard Nixon That was the upshot of the high court's decision Friday to hear Special Prosecutor Leon appeal for a definitive answer to the question of his own authority as well as the The court felt the case was of such importance that it decided to give up part of its summer recess to hear and decide the issue Defiance Considered Should the court rule against him Nixon would either have to obey or have his defiance of the court almost certainly included in articles of impeachment Both Repub- this practically would assure his removal from office But ahould the court support his claim of executive privilege even in a criminal procedure the President'! problems in the Watergate tangle would be eased and his chances of escaping impeachment enhanced Only eight justices will hear arguments in the case on July 8 nearly a month after the court had been scheduled to adjourn until midfall Associate Justice William Rchnquist has decided he will not participate Worked For Mitchell Rehnquist has not said why he excused himself But it was assumed he did so both because he was an Assistant Attorney General under former Attorney General John Mitchell who would be affected by the ruling and because he had acted as an Administration spokesman on executive privilege while in the Justice Department This would clear the way tie vote however would leave standing the ruling of District Judge John Sirica that Nixon must produce tapes and other documents Jaworski claims are needed for the Watergate trial of seven former Nixon associates Appeals Court Skipped In accepting the case the court agreed with Jaworski's contention that it is unnecessary to have the matter ajudi-cated first by the Circuit Court of Appeals here Jaworski had contended that the Appeals Court last year decided against Nixon on a similar subpena issue Nixon at that time decided against taking the matter to the Supreme Court The high court's decision is another blow to the President whose attorneys had opposed bypassing the Appeals Court White House sources said Saturday that the President ami his chief counsel James D' St Clair are convinced Jaworski is seeking to force Nixon to decide whether to obey or defy the Supreme Court while the House Judiciary Committee is still considering impeachment Considering Defiance On the other hand Nixon's attempt to keep the court from taking the case before its recess was considered an indication he is considering defiance Questions about what the President would do if the high court ordered him to comply with Jaworski's subpe-nas have gone unanswered at the White House since Jaworski appealed to the Supreme Court a week ago White House Counselor Dean Burch said Friday after the Supreme Court's announcement that Nixon had been told of the order and will file our briefs and make our arguments at the appropriate By Oct 7 the date the court had scheduled to return from summer recess the Judiciary Committee would have completed its work and an Nixon defiance then would be too late to be included in possible impeachment articles Cease-fire Effective Pellissippi Parkway Farm Prices Down in May Dunn Dedicates 2 Knox Facilities licans and Democrats

opening the second phase of a breakthrough agreement to end fighting and separate their armies on the Golan Heights Both nations said heavy Over-all Decrease Third in Row WASHINGTON (AP) -Lower prices for cattle and hogs helped push the farm price index for the month ended May 15 down 4 per cent the Agriculture Department says But the department's report on Friday also included a signal that retail food prices may have climbed again in May after dropping in April indicating that lower farm prices may not have been passed on to consumers The report said that as of May 15 farm families who shop where other consumers do paid 2 per cent more for groceries than they did on April 15 Could Be on Target Department economists say the food price estimate which showed up only as a brief item in the farm report should not be considered as reliable as other Government figures collected specifically for that purpose However there is some evidence the 2 per cent increase from mid-April indicated by the report could be on target -For example in its report a month earlier the department said fanners paid 05 per cent less for food on April 15 than they did on March 15 When the Bureau of Labor Statistics issued its report on May 21 the official food price index was down 04 per cent The Labor Report for May will not be issued for another three weeks Meantime the USDA report Friday showed mixed benefits for both consumers and formers Other Prices Up In addition to decreases for livestock the 4 per cent skid was prompted also by lower form prices for wheat eggs and cotton Higher prices were reported for potatoes hay and melons The over-all decrease was the third in a row Farm prices declined 4 per cent from Feb 15 to March and 6 per cent in the month ended April 15 Prices formers paid to meet expenses meanwhile climbed two-thirds of 1 per cent during the month and averaged 15 per cent above May 15 1973 24 Hostages Freed Bass To Run for Governor Is 10th Demo To Enter Race By
