Nixon is ending his silence on the scandal that drove him in disgrace from the nation’s highest office 33 months ago. Nixon’s first post-resignation in terview will be broadcast over 155 television and 730 radio stations tonight at 7:30 EDT in most areas. The 64-year-old Nixon, who resigned exactly 1,000 days ago, reportedly is receiving a minimum of $600,000 and a share of the show’s profits, giving him more than $1 million for answering the questions posed by British interviewer David Frost. If the anxious producers of tonight’s 90-minute interview are to be believed, the broadcast still holds some Watergate surprises despite advance disclosures. Nixon was asked about White House tape transcripts that he did not expect to be questioned about, the producers say. “In the early part of the program, (Nixon’s) Watergate defense was shattered and the interesting part follows from there,” James Reston Jr. said Tuesday. Reston, who researched the initial Watergate program for Frost, said despite publication of some details, substantial portions “have not been revealed.” In the buildup to the Watergate in- Stick man art begins to pay off for Cyrus Daniels What began as stick man art has really begun to pay off for Cyrus Daniels. Daniels, promising young Griffin artist, and cartoonist at the Six Flags Over Georgia, is the lead cartoon foreman for the park. He said he began drawing stick men in the second and third grades and continued up to about the sixth grade. “Perhaps in the sixth grade, I noticed this urge to draw cars,” Daniels said. “I guess it might have been in the seventh grade when I really started to get serious about it,” Daniels continued. He said he practiced a lot and his dad showed him how to draw dump trucks. The practice continued through junior high school where Mrs. Jan GRIFFIN DAI WS Daily Since 1872 terview, both Time and Newsweek ran cover stories that included a few details of the interview and previously un disclosed White House tapes. The New York Times and Washington Post also ran stories Sunday on new White House transcripts, whose dis closure was prompted, if not or chestrated, by the television produc tion. The Post story said Nixon was aware of hush money paid in the Watergate cover-up. The story has opened a dispute similar to those when Nixon was in office and the Post repeatedly reported fresh disclosures about the scandal widening around Nixon and his aides. “I feel as if I’ve been there before,” said one Post editor Tuesday when told that Nixon’s lawyers were accusing the newspaper of refusing to publish a retraction of an inaccurate story. Nixon’s lawyers maintain the transcript containing the hush money references was an early, erroneous version later corrected to eliminate any reference to a paycff of Watergate burglars, thus removing the im plication that Nixon lied in later public statements. Persons connected with the broad cast admit that the late publicity blitz apparently has helped sell advertising for the shows. Five minutes of national advertising time worth $625,000 has been sold for tonight’s broadcast. Wilder, art teacher at Unit 111, encouraged Daniels to work more in the different phases of art. He said Mrs. Wilder really got him interested and by the time he reached tenth grade at Griffin High he was ready for a “one man art show”. Participating in Program Challenge, sponsored by the school system for exceptional students, Daniels’ show featured a little of everything. Griffin High School art teacher, Jimmy Maine, had enhanced Daniels’ endeavors to include weaving, pottery, and acrylic painting. The one man show led to exhibiting paintings at the Old Court House Art Show in Fayetteville. In 1975 and while an eleventh grader, Daniels was nominated to the Griffin, Ga., 30223, Wednesday Afternoon, May 4,1977 The Country Parson by Frank Clark I \ « al"! 7 321 xC z “Most of us still are planning for the future after it Is the past” People ••• and things Two Griffin women exclaiming what a beautiful deer they saw crossing South Sixth extension, then seeing 4 more cross as they drove near County Line road.

Governor’s Honors Program in art. He says it was during the honors program that Macon advertising agent, Leroy Young introduced him to commerical art. “He turned me on, that changed my way of art,” Daniels said. He later painted portraits at the Dovedown Center for a short while. Daniels also continued enhancing his experience as he worked in the graphic arts department at the Experiment Station under the direction of Leroy Hicks. “Mr. Hicks helped me a whole lot. The experience gained at the station surely improved my qualifications for Governor’s Honors and my Six Flags job application portfolio,” Daniels said. Prior to taking the job at the U.S. drops block of Viets to U.N. PARIS (AP) — The United States has agreed to drop its opposition to Viet nam’s admission to the United Nations, a joint communique issued by the United States and Vietnam said today. The communique was read to newsmen by Vietnam’s Deputy Foreign Minister Phan Hien at the end of two days talks with the U.S. delegation led by Asst. Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke. The announcement came after four hours of talks on the second day of the conference expected to lead to establishhment of diplomatic rela tions between the two governments. The United States had previously vetoed Vietnam’s application to the No help CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Promoters of the 1977 Miss U.S.A, pageant promise con testants for the first time will wear totally “unconstructed’ ’ one-piece swimsuits. That means no bra or other con struction. “That’s what the vast major ity of our contestants have told us they want to be judged on ... not on how much help they get from their swimsuit,” says Harold L. Glasser, president of Miss Universe, Inc. Experiment Station, Daniels worked for the Cox Signs Company in Griffin. In September, 1976, he entered the Atlanta College of Art for a four-year program in commerical illustration and visual communications. He has helped to support the cost of his education with the job at Six Flags which he began last summer doing sketchers of patrons at the park. He said his hard work and fast drawing times are responsible for his promotion to lead cartoonist of all of the park’s artists. He is training new artists for this year’s park season. Daniels plans to get a master’s degree in art and to later work for Walt Vol. 105 No. 105 United Nations on three occasions. The last veto was in November 1976. Hien said the two delegations would resume their talks in Paris within two weeks “to seek a rapid normalization of relations” between the two countries. The communique said Hien and Holbrooke conferred for a total of seven hours Tuesday and Wednesday in the Vietnamese embassy in Paris to discuss “matters left behind by the war” and a normalization of relations. More at work in Spalding More people were working in Spalding County in March than the previous month, according to the labor office in Griffin. A total of 18,966 people had jobs in the latest report from the Georgia Department of Labor here in Spalding County. This dropped the unemployment rate to 6.9 percent from the February 7.5 Disney, Warner Brothers or Metro- Goldyn Mayer Studio productions. He has had works hanging in the Kennedy National Performing Art Center in Washington, D.C. and in the State Board of Education Conference Room in Atlanta. The painting in Atlanta was scheduled to hang from June of 1975 until September of 1976. The drawing in Washington is still hanging. What really began as child’s play is beginning to provide a very viable career. Daniels is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Daniels who reside on Armstead circle in Griffin.
