Famous U.S. Women Ski Team Diet
During the non-snow off season the U.S. Women’s Alpine Ski
Team members go on the "Ski Team" diet to lose 20 pounds in
two weeks. That’s right — 20 pounds in 14 days! The basis of
the diet is chemical food action and was devised by a famous
Colorado physician especially for the U.S. Ski Team. Normal energy
is maintained (very important!) while reducing. You keep "full"
— no starvation — because the diet is designed that way. It’s a
diet that is easy to follow whether you work, travel or stay at home.
This is honestly a fantastically successful diet. If it weren't, the
U.S. Women's Ski Team wouldn’t be permitted to use it! Right?
So, give yourself the same break the U.S. Ski Team gets. Lose
weight the scientific, proven way. Even if you've tried all the
other diets, you owe it to yourself to try the U.S. Women's Ski
Team Diet. That is, if you really do want to lose 20 pounds in
two weeks. Order today. Tear this out as a reminder.

officials are encouraging the
view that Nixon may be willing
to be quizzed in depth on the
subject for the first time.
The President appeared to be
in a jauntier, more confident
mood after his Wednesday
night televised address on
Watergate than he has in
recent months. Aides indicated
his spirits were lifted by wires
and telephone calls to the White
House after the speech. The
White House announced they
were running 5 or 6 to 1 in his
favor.
A theme of the speech was
that the Senate Watergate
hearings were absorbed in
trying to “implicate” the
President and should be ended
and the matter left to the
courts.
The committee chairman,
Sen. Sam J. Ervin, D-N.C., told
a Chamber of Commerce
luncheon in North Carolina
Thursday “I deeply regret that
the President entertains the
idea that the committee wants
to get him. The committee only
wants to get the truth.”
He Should Produce Tapes
Ervin said that if the
President really wants to get
the hearings over with he
should produce the tapes of his
Watergate conversations, which
Nixon has refused to do.
At the White House, Warren
told reporters that “you can
expect the President to speak
out on matters that he
considers to be of national
interest, matters involving the
energy situation, foreign policy,
the economy certainly, legisla
tion pending before the Con
gress, and other matters.
“These are vital issues which
the President feels should be
addressed and he intends to
address them,” he said.
National defense and another
attack on Congress for calling a
halt to the U.S. bombing of
Cambodia were expected to be
the President’s main themes
before the VFW, which has
always accorded the President
a warm reception.
Nixon was expected to spend
this weekend at Camp David,
Md.
Thursday night he went for
dinner cruise aboard his yacht
Sequoia with Gen. Alexander
M. Haig Jr., his new White
House staff chief, who is
becoming one of his closest
companions.

Remap job
near end
ATLANTA (UPI) - The
Chairman of the House Reap
portionment Committee said
Thursday his committee should
be through this week remapping
15 multimember legislative dis
tricts.
Rep. Hines Brantley, D-Met
ter, said his committee had al
ready completed work on 13 of
the 15 districts objected to by
the U. S. Department of Justice
on the grounds they were set up
in such away as to endanger
minority voting rights.
Brantley’s committee Wed
nesday approved a plan for the
Albany area that would pit
House Majority Leader George
Busbee against incumbent Dick
Hutchinson.
Busbee and Hutchinson were

member districts created under
the proposed plan, but Busbee
is expected to run for governor
and not seek re-election to the
House.
Reps. Billy Lee and Colquitt
Odom were paired in another
new district. There were no in
cumbents in the remaining two
Albany districts, one of which
will be almost 68 per cent black.
Brantley’s committee, work
ing through the summer to
break up the 15 multimember
districts, is expected to have the
new plan available for study
well before the General Assem
bly convenes in January.
“Then we hope to straighten
out a few rough spots in the
(over-all) plan before we turn
it over to the attorney general’s
office for study,” Brantley said.
WASHINGTON - When
President Nixon won reelec
tion last November by land
slide proportions, he and his
advisers and their Republican
allies in the Congress were
convinced that the Nixon ad
ministration had been given a
mandate by the nation to dic
tate government policy.
But now, nine months later,
the pendulum has swung de
cisively the other way. The
Democratic majority in Con
gress, spurred on perhaps by
a touch of Watergate fever
and Mr. Nixon’s low point in
public opinion polls, appears
supremely dominant for the
moment.
There are those in Congress
who say the present situation
of power resting squarely on
Capitol Hill is “Watergate re
lated,” a commonly heard
phrase.
Others dispute this view,
saying that much of the sup
port for the confrontation with
the White House had begun
building before Watergate be
came a liability for the Presi
dent.
But regardless of the rea
son, Congress now has a feel
ing of direction and assertive
ness unlike anything it has ex
perienced in many years.
In recent weeks, Congress
has:
— Approved anti-impound
ment legislation requiring a
president to spend funds ap
propriated by Congress for
specific federal programs.
— Passed war powers legis
lation severely restricting a
president’s authority to en
gage U’.S. forces in prolonged
foreign combat without spe
cific approval by Congress.
— Obtained a compromise
with the White House in which
Congress held off legislation
to stop the bombing in Cam
bodia in return for a presiden
tial promise to stop it by Aug.
15.
— Voted in the Senate to re
quire the confirmation of
presidential appointees to
several top policy-making ad
ministration jobs, such as di
rector of the budget-writing
Office of Management and
Budget.
Voted in the Senate
against President Nixon’s
nomination of William Morris
to the Federal Power Com
mission; and the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, in
a highly unusual slap at the
White House, rejected the
President’s nomination of G.
McMurtrie Godley, former
ambassador to Laos, to be as
sistant secretary of state for
East Asian and Pacific af
fairs.
