Most not satisfied
with Nixon’s offer
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Most
members of the House Judici
ary Committee say they are not
satisfied with President Nixon’s
offer of Watergate transcripts
rather than tapes.

"BEAT THE HIGH COST OF FOOD”
The committee apparently
will proceed with its impeach
ment inquiry with what the
White House gives it, while
continuing to press for more.
Its confrontation with the
President therefore appeared
far from over.
Chairman Peter W. Rodino
Jr., D-N.J., who refused to
: comment directly on the
: speech, had said earlier that
: “we will accept no less” than
; the 42 tapes subpoenaed on
; April 11.
The ranking Republican, Ed
: ward Hutchinson of Michigan,
: said he was satisfied with the
offer although the committee
would have to “study it and
satisfy ourselves” that what
Nixon delivered was “a com
plete record of Watergate ... at
least insofar as the President’s
involvement.”
Nixon’s offer would give the
; committee and the public
• edited transcripts of the 42
■ conversations plus material the
i committee had not requested.
i Can Determine Themselves
He said he would invite
: Hutchinson and Rodino “to
icome to the White House and
• listen to the actual, full tapes of
•these conversations, so they
•can determine for themselves,
: beyond question, that the
i transcripts are accurate and
•that everything on the tapes
•relevant to my knowledge and
:my actions on Watergate is
: included.”
• The opposition to the plan by
iJudiciary Democrats centered
on its failure to include the
impeachment inquiry’s Special
Counsel John M. Doar and
Chief GOP Counsel Albert
Jenner in the invitation to the
White House to listen to tapes.
Without Doar and Jenner
participating, it was felt that
Rodino and Hutchinson would
not undertand some of the
subtleties and references to
critical dates which the inves
tigators might be more attuned
to, given their experience
gained by sifting all the other
evidence.
Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y.,
was irate. “Certainly a vote of
noncompliance will come before
the week is over,” he said. If
no one else makes the move, he
would, he said. Enough col
leagues expressed similar senti
ments on Monday, he said, that
he thought the motion had a
good chance of carrying. But
such a vote apparently would
lack any enforcemnt provision.
This Would be Evidence
Committee sources had let it
be known previously that Nixon
was not likely to be held in
contempt of the House, but that
if he failed to comply this
would be evidence itself in an
impeachment proceeding.
Vice President Gerald R.
Ford, who would succeed Nixon
if the impeachment process
were carried to its ultimate end
—conviction in the Senate and
removal from office —said: “I
think the President is being
cooperative —and I hope and
pray the impeachment matter
now can be quickly brought to
a conclusion.”
George Bush, GOP chairman,
called it ” a major step in
putting impeachment proceed
ings behind us,” and Senate
GOP leader Hugh Scott wel
comed the “wealth of mate
rial,” he said was being given
the committee.
The White House itself
reported the initial public
reaction running 5 to 1 in favor
of Nixon, according to tele
phone calls through the White
House switchboard.
Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr.,
vice chairman of the Senate
Watergate committee which
previously exposed much of
what was expected to be on the
released transcripts, said he
was pleased with the Nixon
decision, but “I wish he had
done it a year ago.”
Criticism on Forum
Some Democratic criticism
came not on Nixon’s offer, but
on the forum in which he made
it.
House Speaker Carl Albert
said after the announcement
Nixon would go on television:
“I don’t see why he should
describe his answer to the
committee’s subpoena on televi
sion unless he is trying to get
public support. I hope he
doesn’t start playing for public
sympathy.”
Robert S. Strauss, Democrat
ic national chairman, urged the
three main television networks
before the address “to reconsid
er the grant of air time to
President Nixon tonight.... An
appearance on television by the
subject of the inquiry appears
to be a political action
unrelated to the proper legal
process.”
Even some of the Republi
cans who said they were
satisfied with the offers ac
knowledged that it was not a
complete response to the
subpoena.
Rep. Trent Lott, R-Miss.,
saiid, it was “not a direct
response to the subpoena but it
was a situation I can accept.”
Rep. Lawrence Hogan, R-Md.,
said he thought it would
“satisfy our demands.”
Chauvinism
Chauvinism got its name
from Nicholas Chauvin of
Rochefort. France, a soldier
of the First Republic and
Empire, whose demon
strative loyalty to Napoleon 1
became notorious.

Samuelson freed,
heads for home
By JORGE BRINSEK
BUENOS AIRES (UPI) -
U.S. oil executive Victor E.
Samuelson headed home today,
ending a record $14.2 million,
144-day kidnap ordeal at the
hands of leftist guerrillas.
A spokesman for the Esso
Argentina Oil Co. said the 37-
year-old Cleveland native ap
peared “in good health, both
mentally and physically, jovial,
and in a good humor.”
The company spokesman said
Samuelson, manager of Esso’s
Campana, Argentina, refinery,
was “well treated” in the two
“people’s jails” where he was
held.
A spokesman for Braniff said
Samuelson was scheduled to
arrive in New York at noon
EDT today on a flight from
Buenos Aires with stops in
Asuncion, Paz, Lima and
Panama.
Esso Bows to Demands
Esso, a subsidiary of the
Exxon Corp., bowed to the
demands of the Marxist Peo
ple’s Revolutionary Army
(ERP) after the guerrillas
threatened to shoot Samuelson
and send his body home in a
coffin draped with a U.S. flag.
Samuelson was seized Dec. 6
in the cafeteria of the Esso
refinery at Campana, 50 miles
north of Buenos Aires. On
March 11, the company gave
the guerrillas $14.2 million, the
largest ransom ever paid for a
kidnap victim.
Just when company officials
had begun to give up hope of
finding him alive, Samuelson
showed up Monday morning, 49
days after the ransom was
paid, at the home of his family
doctor.
After his release he had a
cup of tea with the doctor’s son,
Federico Pfister, a 22-year-old
medical student, and was
driven to the Esso offices.
Wearing the Same Suit
“He told me to take him
downtown and don’t ask any
questons,” Pfister said. “He

First grade and kindergarten
registration for the 1974-75
school year will be held Wed
nesday and Thursday, May 8
and 9, 1974, from 9:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m., at Pike County
Primary School, Thomaston
road, Zebulon.
Children who have their sixth
birthday by Dec. 31, 1974, are
eligible for first grade at
tendance for the 1974-75 school
year. For the 1975-76 school
year, a child must be six-years
old by Sept. 1 to be eligible for
first grade attendance ac
cording to a new state law.
Children who have their fifth
birthday by Sept. 1, 1974 are
eligible for kindergarten for the
1974-75 school year.
Birth certificate and im
munization record must be
presented at the time of
registration. On the opening day
of school, parents are

said he was wearing the same
suit he had on when they
kidnaped him.”
The student said Samuelson
looked “in good health” and
“did not show any signs of
nervousness, but he was very
disoriented.”
Financial sources said the 49-
day delay in the release was
due to ERP’s need to “laun
der” the money —that is,
transfer the funds through
several bank checks and drafts
to make the ransom difficult to
trace.
The sources said Exxon
delivered the 300-pound ransom
in suitcases containing 142,000
bills in SIOO denominations.
Samuelson had already writ
ten his “last letter” to his wife
and three children when word
came that Exxon would pay,
the sources said.
Samuelson was one of 190
persons kidnaped in Argentina
last year.

Finger solves case
ROME (UPI) - Police
investigating an attempted
break-in in a suburban apart
ment said Giovanni Jannulli’s
own finger pointed at him.
The apartment’s superintend
ent told police he found a
human finger with a gold ring
on his balcony. Police theorized
a would-be thief broke the
finger while trying to climb the
balcony and when Jannulli
showed up in hospital minus his
little finger, they charged him
with attempted burglary.

DEAR DR. LAMB — I am a
23-year-old female with es
sential hypertension of over
one year. My family doctor
has had a difficult time con
trolling the disease. I have
been hospitalized twice and
bedridden on numerous occa
sions during the past year
with blood pressure readings
as high as 240/130. I am tak
ing daily eight Aldomet 250,
four Elavil 25, three thyroid,
and one Esidrix. 1 am obese
and have been on a weight
reduction program. My
weight loss hasn’t affected
the hypertension.
Do you think consulting a
specialist concerning my
condition would be helpful?
The doctor who is treating
me is in family medicine. I
have already been through a
hypertension workup while
hospitalitized during October
1972.
What is your opinion on the
severity of my problem? Do
you think there is much
chance that the hypertension
might improve or can I only
expect to get worse as I get
older? Can you make any sug
gestions that might be of
some help in the control of es
sential hypertension?
DEAR READER - I can
understand your distress.
The term essential hyperten
sion is used for high blood
pressure when the cause
can’t really be identified. Its
occurence in a young woman
is fairly uncommon.
It’s difficult to say if you
should be seeing a specialist.
Since you are concerned
about this I think you should
ask your family doctor to ar
range for a consultation with
a heart specialist. There are
a number of very excellent
ones in your town.
Your doctor is proceeding
in the right manner. It is im
portant to know just what
your hypertension workup in

Revamp plan
is approved
WASHINGTON (UPI)-A re
apportionment plan for the
Georgia House of Representa
tives, which has been in dispute
since 1971, has been approved
by the Justice Department, offi
cials said Monday.
The department had objected
to the original reapportionment
plan to convert the multi-mem
ber districts to single-member
districts on grounds it might
dilute black voting power.
Assistant Attorney General J.
Stanley Pottinger said Monday
that the resubmitted plan
would not have an adverse ef
fect on minitory voting and
said the department had noti
fied Georgia Attorney General
Arthur Bolton to proceed with
the redistricting.
The revised plan, passed by
the 1974 Georgia legislature, re
worked 15 multi-member House
districts involving some 30 state
representatives at the sugges
tion of the Justice Department’s
Civil Rights Division.
Under the 1967 Voting Rights
Act, certain states may not im-

Difficult case

eluded an X-ray study using
dye in your kidneys, and a
careful examination of the
bladder region to be certain
that you have no obstruction
of the elimination of urine
either at the kidney level or
lower. The kidneys should be
evaluated carefully for the
presence of various kidney
diseases.
Rarely a person may have
a tumor of the center of the
small adrenal gland over the
kidney that pours out excess
adrenalin. These tumors or
dinarily are not malignant
but they can cause persis
tently elevated blood pres
sure or attacks of high blood
pressure. The tests for such
tumors are chemical.
Some authorities think that
small overactive parts of the
outer layer of the adrenal
gland can also be responsible
for elevated pressure.
Unfortunately, the people
with curable causes of high
blood pressure are few com
pared to those who have high
blood pressure for unknown
and incurable reasons. How
ever, these remaining cases
of essential hypertension can
often by managed by a com
bination of different
medicines. The right com
bination often varies for dif
ferent patients, and the doc
tor has the job of carefully
evaluating the effects of
medicines as he goes along. It
is possible that you are not
yet on the best combination
for you. But, any doctor will
need time to evaluate each
change in medicine or
amount to arrive at the best
program for you.
