...subpoena, requested by Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski and approved by Judge John Sirica, demanded tapes of 64 conversations between Nixon and his aides from June 20, 1972 through June 4, 1973. Jaworski has been vainly seeking the tapes in private negotiations with the White House since Jan. 9. He contends that he needs them for the trial of seven Nixon men indict ed hi the Watergate coverup: H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, John Mitch ell, Charles Colson, Robert Mardian, Gordon Strachan and Kenneth Parkin son. Their trial has been set for Sept. 9, though they have until May 1 to file...
Although President Nixon has agreed to pay $432,787 in back taxes as assessed by the Internal Revenue Ser vice, his tax problems are not over.

At his confirmation hearings in the spring of 1972, Kleindienst had testified that no one at the White House had brought pressure on him in any way to influence the Justice Department's settlement of its antitrust suit against ITT. He later revealed that Nixon himself had phoned him and asked him not to carry the case against...
Drop by drop, evidence has accumulated since last fall that milk producers are among the most munificent backers of political campaigns in the U.S. Investigators for the Senate Watergate committee and Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski believe that the milkmen contributed as much as $737,000 to President Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign, much of it illegally. Moreover, officers of the nation's largest dairy cooperative, Associated Milk Producers, Inc. (AMPI), admitted last week that the gift to the President's campaign was only part of a five-year scheme to help friendly politicians, both Democrats...
