Nixon
papers
checked
WASHINGTON (AP) - For
the first time since Richard M.
Nixon resigned the presidency
rather than face impeachment
three years ago, the govern
ment has broad authority to
scrutinize his files.
Over Nixon’s protests, U.S.
District Court Judge Aubrey E.
Robinson ruled Wednesday that
federal officials may search
hundreds of boxes of the former
president’s materials for clues
to the whereabouts of some
expensive foreign gifts which
may be missing.
Up to now officials have been
barred from rummaging
through the Nixon records ex
cept in cases where searches
were authorized for items con
nected to national security or
legal proceedings.
Nixon had lost his battle for
custody of the materials in
June, when the U.S. Supreme
Court ruled that seizure of the
items by the Congress was con
stitutional. The materials were
turned over to the General
Services Administration.
Unless there is an appeal
from Robinson’s ruling, investi
gators will begin opening hun
dreds of file boxes next week
under the supervision of a Nixon
representative.
“I have no desire to further
impugn the integrity of Richard
Nixon and his family, but there
are sufficient allegations that
give me concern to proceed,”
Evan S. Dobrelle, chief of
protocol, said after a two-hour
hearing on the question of for
eign gifts to the former presi
dent.
“We understand that within
Box 118-C there exist photos of
various jewelry items that were
not officially recorded in the gift
unit. The inclusion of those in
our records will make the only
complete list we’ve ever had,"
he said.
Archivists will look through a
box that the judge said may
contain “photographs of brace
lets, photographs of trinkets
and descriptive lists.”
U.S. law requires officials, in
cluding presidents, to turn over
to the State Department’s gift
unit any foreign gifts worth
more than SSO.
The Washington Post said on
Monday that while some gifts to
Nixon may be unaccounted for
because of sloppy records, “in
some cases, State Department
and GSA officials say the gifts
are believed to be in the custody
of the Nixons, which is a
violation of the law regulating
the gifts.”
Youth
drowns

yer identified the victim as
Harold Gardner.
Bowyer said Gardner and a
friend were swimming in a
creek about five miles south of
Leesburg Tuesday when Gard
ner apparently swam into deep,
swift water and drowned.

Coyote watch
ATLANTA (AP) — If coyotes are attacking your cattle

“Game and fish biologists would like to document any
such coyote depredation,” he said.
The department said persons with information to report
should contact a regional game management office in
Albany, Fitzgerald, Fort Valley or Brunswick.
