Man Charged In Attack On Princess Anne

LONDON (AP) — Ian Ball, a 26-year-old unemployed Eng- lishman, was brought into court today and charged with at- tempted murder during an at- tempt to kidnap Princess Anne from her car in the heart of London Wednesday night. Ball, lean-faced and bearded, stood stiffly in the dock at the Bow Street Magistrate’s court, handcuffed to two detectives. He spoke only once during his 60-second appearance, saying in a London accent: ‘I want to apply for legal aid.” The court ordered him held for another hearing on March 28 on the charge of attempting to murder Princess Anne’s per- sonal bodyguard, Inspector James Beaton. Beaton was one of four per- sons wounded as the would-be kidnaper fired repeatedly at the royal limousine. The others were Anne’s chauffeur and a policeman and a passing jour- nalist who tried to intervene. Beaton and the policeman were reported in serious condition. The 23-year-old princess and her husband of five months, Capt. Mark Phillips, were not hurt. But police experts said the holes left by one of the bul- lets fired into the car indicated it passed between them, miss- ing them by inches. A police informant said it was believed 11 shots were fired by the assailant. Experts were studying two revolvers found at the scene. They said five shots had been fired from one and six from the other. Au- thorities said earlier only six shots were fired. Police also found in the white rord that Bali rented for the evening a typewritten ransom demand addressed to Queen Elizabeth II, Anne’s mother, along with three pairs of hand- cuffs, a driver's license and en- velopes addressed to two com- panies. Officials declined to disclose any further details of the dis- coveries. But the Daily Tele- graph said the letter asked for a $2.3-million ransom, and the Daily Mail said it was full of ravings about alleged _in- justices. Police said Ball had no fixed address. Following the attack, there was speculation that it was the work of Irish nation- alists, but the police said they believed the motive was not po- litical. The gunman was _ over- powered by police from Buck- ingham Palace, 150 yards away from the royal limousine. Witnesses said the gunman ran into St. James Park, then turned and leveled a pistol at the police. One officer, Peter Edwards, 21, brought him down with a flying tackle, and the other officers rushed in to help Edwards. The attack was the first against any member of the British royal family since 1936 when a man threw a loaded re- volver in front of King Edward VIII. The royal family occa- sionally has received death threats but is not normally sur- rounded by heavy security ar- rangements. Police gave this account of the attack on the princess: The queen’s only daughter and the army officer she married last November were returning from a showing of a documentary film about 8 p.m. when a white Ford forced the limousine to a stop on the mall, the avenue leading to the palace. A man got out of th Ford and began hitting Alex Callender, the royal chauffeur, and Inspector Beaton and shattering the front and rear windows of the limousine. Beaton tried to fire back, but his gun jammed. The man also shot Constable Michael Hills, on foot patrol nearby, and journalist Brian McConnell when they tried to intervene. Hills managed to get off a warning on his walkie- talkie before he collapsed. Anne, her lady-in-waiting. Ro- wena Brassey, and Capt. Phil- lips, stayed in the back of the limousine until more police ar- rived to rescue them. One eye- witness said the gunman shook the door in an attempt to get in. The princess telephoned the news of her escape to her par- ents, who are on a state visit to Indonesia, and to her elder brother, Prince Charles, who is serving with the frigate Jupiter on the west coast of the United States. Anne is fourth in line of succession to the throne.

Four Fire Depts. Called To. Scene Farm Buildings, R23 as Lo: In Fire At Benners%ern

’ Four’ fire departments were called to the William E, Bennett farm home, about three miles southwest of Elgin on the “Ridge Road’, Monday evening. where the barn; farrowing house, crates. and: finishing floor; a corn crib; and contents were des- ¢roved by fire. The fire, of undetermined ori- gin, started: in the hayloft of the parn, and smoke was detected by Mr. Bennett as he entered the farm yard shortly before 7:00 p-m. © ’ The barn was about 60 x 80 ft.; and. included the farrowing house and finishing floor on the west side. ‘Mr. Bennett said that six sows with an estimated 35 baby pigs; and about 77 pigs weighing from 175 to 240 pounds were lost in addition to 24 farrowing crates destroyed in his hog operation. The barn contained about 200 bags of wood shavings (bedding) and 150 bales of straw. The corn crib, about 24 x 30 ft. housed a nearly new mix- mill; approximately 200 bushels of shelled corn; two and a half tons of base mix and one ton of bag feed. This was all lost. About 300 gallons of gas in a 1,000 gallon LP tank east of the barn burned, but the tank did not explode. Of course, numerous other items of farm tools and equip- ment were destroyed. The loss was partially covered by insurance. Fire fighters from Elgin, Wa- dena, West Union and Clermont were called to battle the flames. Mr. Bennett said the fire de- partments are to be commend- ed for a wonderful job — in their response and efforts, and in the saving of the nearby house and machine shed and contents.

How Do You Know?

. {| A timely question is being ‘asked in more than 40 million homes this April. It appears on a little leaflet being distributed by American Cancer Society vo- lunteers: “If you don't know Cancer's Warning Signals, how do you know you haven't got one?” Time is often. the most impor- tant defense the individual has against cancer. If you catch can- cer in time, the doctors tell us. it is one of the most curable of the major diseases, One way of enlisting time on your side is to heed the warn- ings that may mean cancer. In most cases, a warning signal does not mean cancer, but only a doctor can tell after a thorough examination. Here are the Seven Warning Signals: Change in bowel or bladder habits, A sore that doesn’t heal, Unusual bleeding or discharge. Thickening or lump in breast or elsewhere. Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing. Obvious change in wart or mole, Nagging cough, or hoarseness. If you have a warning signal, see your doctor.

Lightning starts fire Inflation quickened in February

WASHINGTON (AP) — The pace of inflation quickened in February with food and fuel prices pushing the cost of living up 1.3 per cent, the second biggest monthly jump since 1951, the government said today. The Labor Department said last month's rise sent consumer prices 10 per cent higher than a year ago and marked the first time since 1948 that the United States experienced double fig- ure inflation lt was the highest 12-month increase in the cost of living since consumer prices rose by 10.2 per cent in the 12 months endi a Nearly half the He 2 Mn = ry on te he <j — pepe the a ery per cent increase in Gasoline and other energy items a responsible for about a fifth of last month's in- crease in prices The Consumer Price Index climbed last month to 1415 of its 1967 average, meaning that it cost consumers $141.50 to buy the same amount of retail goods and services that $100 bought in 1967 While consumer prices continued their sharp rive. real spendable earnings of workers dropped another six-tenths of one per cent in February and were down 4.5 per cent from a year ago. This was the largest decline over a year since the government keeping that Statistic in 1964 The February price report showed inflation holding a firm grip across the economy. Food prices rose 2.5 per cent, nonfood commodities, | per cent, and services seven-tenths of | per cent The Nixon administration has said it expects inflation to continue its sharp pace throughout the first half of the year before beginning to ease during the final six months Director John T Durilop of the Cost of Living Council said Wednesday that F ‘s surge in food prices would be followed more moderate mereases in March, April and May. “Our own estimate is that it will be the last month with a really poor record,” Dunlop said. Soaring gasoline and motor oil prices played a large part in the over-all increase in consumer prices last month, rising 5.3 per cent to a level 30.9 per cent above last February. Fuel otf and coal jumped 3.4 per cent, the smallest increase in five months to a level 58.8 per cent higher than a year ago. Average prices for gasoline alone increased 5.5 per cent.

GM Cancels Shutdown Plans

DETROIT (UPI) — General Motors Corp., the hard hit giant of the U.S. Auto Industry, canceled plans Wednesday to tem- porarily lay off 27,000 work- ers and to shut down seven plants for a week. Key factors in its deci- sion, GM said, was the end of the Arab oil embargo against the United States and the belief the economy has ‘‘bottomed out.’ The cancellation notice, it said, would mean a change in plans to tem- porarily lay off 27,000 more workers. Originally, the company said, it it planned to close the plantss r one week start- Ing either March 25 or April 1 in Flint and Lansing, Mich., Arlington, Tex., Framingham, Mass., and Tarrytown, N.Y. The plants include the home facilities of Buick and Oldsmobile.

Cost Of Living Up 1.3 Per Cent

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Pushed by higher food prices, the cost of living jumped 1.3 per cent in Feb- ruary, its largest increase in six months, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said today. The BLS said almost half the increase was caused by skyrocketing food prices, and higher prices for gasoline and other energy sources accounted for about 20 per cent of the increase. The impact on the Ameri- can consumer was a ravated, the BLS said, by a decline in the real gross of weekly earnings of work- ers. The index for food rose 3 per cent, well above nor- mal for January, with higher beef prices account- ing for about one-third of the total food hike. The increase in the Con- sumer Price Index was the largest since August, 1973, when the cost of living rose 1.8 per cent. January's increase was just under 1 per cent. The BLS said the price increase in gasoline and motor oil was not as large as January, when a 6 per cent rise was reported. The index for fuel oil and coal rose 3.8 per cent—the smallest boost in five months. But that was an incredible 58 per cent above Feburary, 1973. The index for household services, including charges for gas, electricity, house- keeping and rent, rose .7 (Turn to Page 6)

Court Asked To Halt Jury Report Order

WASHINGTON (UPI) — An attorney for H.R. Halde- man and John OD. Ehrlichman today asked the U.S. Court of Appeals to prevent the House Judiciary Committee from receiving a secret grand jury report on President Nixon's handling of Water- gate because it would kill a fair trial for his clients. John J. Wilson told the court it should halt U.S. District Court J John J. Sirica’s order of Monday sending the report to the committee, which is inves- tigating whether grounds exist to impeach Nixon. The report was gathered by the Watergate hem jury that indicted Halde- man, Ehrlichman and five other top presidential aides or associates on March 1. The grand jury asked Sirica to send it to the com- mittee. Wilson said Sirica’s order should be delayed for full review. Wilson had until 4 p.m. EDT today to win a stay of Sirica’s order from the Appeals Court. If the court ruled against him, he would consider taking the case to the Supreme Court. vie said the mares grand jury report that would to go the committee probably included a tape or eta ion of a crucial March 21, 1973 meeting between Nixon and former White House counse!

Texas Trip Buoys Nixon

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Nixon is back from a buoying two-day trip to Texas, where he met with Republican leaders, awarded medals to Skylab astronauts and inspected preparations for a — U.S.-Soviet space mission. e President also caught the public’s eye when he dropped into a Houston drugstore for a cup of coffee — leaving the waitress a Texas-sized $1 ti and hopped out of his limousine to sign autograp for school children. “It always ves you a lift to come to Texas,’’ Nixon told newsmen during his visit Wednesday to the Lyn- don B. Johnson Space Center. ‘‘There's a lot of drive, a lot of spirit, a can- do attitude and that's what the country needs." However, the President said he now may trim back his heavy schedule of travel and personal appearances, evidently rtaken in an effort to rebuild public confidence a opp by bpm oe na at the Space Canter, teat veskiant made no direct reference to Watergate and its impact on his administration. He instead aimed his remarks skyward and into the future. ‘‘Always look to the unknown,"’ Nixon told a crowd of about 5,000. “Go there, take any risk, make any sacrifice and don’t be discouraged because some- times you may fail... Nixon presented Distin- uished Service Medals rom the National Aeronau- tics and Space Administra- tion to Skylab astronauts Lt. Col. Gerald Carr, Col. William Pogue and Dr. Edward Gibson. They com- pleted a marathon 84-day mission last month. Earlier Wednesday, the President had breakfast with about 100 leadin Texas businessmen an Republican party leaders, including former Treasury ——e John B. Con- na y. Nixon flew back to Washington Wednesday af- ternoon.

House Votes To Raise Minimum Wage To $2

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has passed legislation raising the minimum wage from $1.60 an hour to $2 this year for mest workers covered and to $2.30 for all by 1978. The bill, a ed Wed- nesday 375 to 37, also would increase by 7 million to 56.5 million the number of workers covered by the minimum wage laws. The bill is a modified ver- sion of one President Nixon vetoed last year. However, he is expected to sign this one if it 1s finally approved after adjustment with a measure, although — does not meet all of his earlier objections. or most workers covered by the minimum wage, the minimum would increase to $2 this year and then in two steps to $2.30 in 1976. Other nonagricultural workers brought under coverage in recent years would have a $1.90 minimum this year, reach- ing $2.30 in 1977, while covered agricultural work- ers would have a $1.60 minimum in 1974and reach $2.30 in 1978. Coverage would be extended to some § million federal, state and local gov- ernment employes, to domestic service employes and some categories of employes of chain stores. Overtime provisions would be extended to 9.5 million persons, including government employes (Turn to Page 6)

Price Hikes May Reduce Gas Shortages: Simon

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal energy chief Wil- liam E. Simon says fur- ther gasoline at nag in- creases —_ Ip dis- courage purchases enough to gasoline shor- tages across the nation to as little as 1.5 per cent. Lifting of the Arab oil embargo will leave the Unite States with estimated gasoline shor- tages of 5 to 8 per cent dur- ing the rest of this year, President Nixon said at a news conference Tuesday. Nixon ended the volun- tary ban on Sunday gasoline sales but _ = energy squeeze would st have to be offset by conser- vation measures such as carpools and lowered speed limits. Simon told a House ppropriations subcom- mittee Wednesday that drawing down on gasoline inventories could reduce the shortages to about 4 to 7 per cent. He added that gasoline pee possibly rising as igh as 70 cents a gallon could help discourage con- sumption and thus shrink the tages to the range of 1.5 to 3 per cent. Last week the average price for regular gasoline was about $3 cents a gallon, up from an average of 39 cents in 1973. Gasoline shortages in February and March have been figured at about 17 per cent — resulting in long lines at service stations in many areas and emer- gency allocations late last revised its March alloca- tions, giving nine states additional asoline A penn All other state allocations remained unchanged. The increases, totaling some 1.2 million barrels, are to be drawn from oil company inventories of more than 200 million bar- rels.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The special Watergate pro- secutor’s office has sub- poenaed additional docu- ments from the White House, it was disclosed today.

House Passes Minimum Wage

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The House Wednesday passed legis- lation to raise the nation’s minimum wage by stages to $2.30 an hour. The Senate has approved a similar bill. The administration favors a hike in the minimum hourly wage and enactment into law by May Lis likely. The House voted 375 to 37 to approve the bill raising the minimum wage for most workers to §2 right away and raising it to $2.10 in 1975 and $2.30 in 1976. Rep. Albert H. Quie, R-Minn., said afterward, ‘‘We could have this bill on the President's desk so he could sign it by the end of March, and a new minimum wage could go into effect on May Ist." The House-passed bill, which differs slightly from the Senate version, was sent to conference where the differences will be worked out. The major differ- ence is that the Senate bill raises the wage to $2.20 in 1975 instead of $2.10. The White House, which vetoed similar legislation last year and was upheld by the House, supported the bid, but asked the House to consider a youth differential so that teen- agers could work for less. Both the Senate and House reiected Uddeal. The bill's major provisions cover nonagricultural workers. Farm workers will receive hourly pay boosts’ to $1.60 immediately with .20-cent ‘in- creases annually the next three years and a final minimum wage of $2.30 in 1978, There are overtime exemp- tions affecting workers in seasonal jobs, the hotel, motel and restaurant businesses and certain other occupations.

Truck Industry Sued; Hiring Bias Charged

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Justice Department Wednesday filed its first civil rights sult against an entire industry, accusing the nation's trucking firms and two major unions of hiring discrimination against blacks and persons with Span- ish surnames. A consent decree was filed moments later in U.S. district court in which the seven major defendants, without admitting discrimination, agreed to sub- stantially increase hiring of minorities, Attorney General William B. Saxbe also named 342 other freight carriers as ‘‘members of the defendant class," and a department spokesman said he expected the consent decree with the major firms to set a pattern. Assistant Attorney General J. Stanley Pottinger said he expects a similar consent decree to be worked out shortly with the Teamsters Union and other unions named as defend- ants with regard to transfer and seniority practices. Pottinger said this was the first such suit challenging employ- ment practices of an entire Industry, but indicated It would not be the last. He sald his department was now in negotia- tions with the steel industry ina case to follow the same pattern. The principal defendants in the suit were: Arkansas-Best Freight System Inc., Fort Smith, Ark.; Branch Motor Express Co., New York City: Consolidated Freightways Inc., Menlo Park, Callf.; 1.M.L. Freight Inc., Salt Lake City, Utah; The Mason and Dixon Lines Inc., Kingsport, Tenn.; Pacific Intermountain Express Co., Oakland, Calif.; and Smith's Transfer Corp., Staun- ton, Va.

Rebozo Questioned By Tapes Probers

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Charles G. ‘Bebe’ Rebozo, President Nixon's close friend and traveling companion, met privately Wednesday with the Senate Watergate Committee which is investigating a $100,000 Nixon campaign contribution from billionaire Howard Hugh- es, Rebozo, a Florida banker and frequent guest at Nixon's San Clemente home and the Camp David presidential retreat, made no effort to dodge reporters when he entered the committee room. But he declined to answer any ques- tions. He has testified previously that he held the $100,000 contribution in a saf¢4 deposit box at his Key Biscayne, Fla., bank for three years without knowing what the money was to be used for. He said, however, he as- sumed the money would be used in Nixon's. 1972 re-election campaign, but that he never discussed the money, all in cash, with Nixon’s campaign officials. The only person he told about the money, Rebozo, testified, was Rose Mary Woods, Nixon's personal secretary. Rebozo said the reason for his silence was that he was worried about the possibility that such a Jarge contribution from the billionaire ipdustrialist might be embarrassing to the re-election campaign.

Syrian Shelling Sporadic, Dayan Reconsiders Meeting

The Golan Heights front between Syria and Israel exploded into its ninth day of shooting Wednesday. Syria said a two-and-a-half hour battle raged while Israel reported only sporadic Syrian shellings and said its forces did not fire back, The latest incidents came as one Tel Aviv newspaper said that Defense Minister Moshe Dayan may not go to Washing- ton on March 29 as scheduled to negotiate troop disengagement with Syria unless Damascus softens its bargaining position. Diplomatic sources in Cairo said President Anwar Sadat would visit Yugoslavia later this month to discuss Middle East peace moves and other developments with President Tito. An Egyptian parliament member told the house that the four wars against Israel since 1948 had cost Egypt 100,000 lives and $37.5 billion. A communique from Damas- cus said the fighting Wednesday flared along the northern and central sectors of the front and that Syrian artillerymen and tankers scored direct hits on Israeli units, on a_ tank command area and on armored vehicles Syria said Israel armored units provoked the fighting by trying to move forward out of their positions on the rainswept heights. It said there were no Syrian casualties. Israel's version said its troops at five points along the front weathered 10-round Syrian barrages during 90 minutes of shelling, but held their fire in comparison to the past three days when, according to one soldier there, “it was a real war.” The Tel Aviv command said there were no losses. “The incidents of today are lighter than yesterday,”’ Israeli Lt. Hanoch told UPI Corre- spondent Bob Slater touring the front. “The last days, they were shooting hundreds of shells and we did the same thing... the Syrians want to take as much area as possible before the negotiations begin.”’ The Syrians have demanded a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights. Israel captured part of the heights in the 1967 Middle East war and another portion, stretching tc within 27 miles of Damascus, in the 1973 fighting. According to the newspaper Ma'ariv ‘there is no absolute assurance that Dayan will indeed depart for the United States cn the scheduled date if no change has occurred in the obstinate position of Syria or the question of separation o! ) forces,”

NEW YORK (UPI) — For- mer White House counsel John Dean tried to win a postpone- ment of the testimony of two secretaries . about financial manipulator Robert L. Vesco just before the 1972 presidential ~— election because their disclosures might result in ai “lust minute campaign smear,” it) was testified Wednesday. Appearing as a government witness at the federal conspira- cy trial of former Nixon cabinet members John N. Mitchell and Maurice H. Stans, former SEC chairman William Casey sald he had received a number of telephone inquiries and re- quests from Dean, who said he was calling in at least two instances on behalf of Mitchell. Casey said Dean told him a month before the election that Mitchell was concerned that Nixon's nephew, Donald Nixon, Was "traveling around’ with Vesco because it might be embarrassing to the President. On another occasion in 1973 Dean told him Mitchell had received a complaint from President Nixon that deposi- tions in the SEC's investigation of Vesco had been leaked to the press before they had been filed.
