Agnew, to Death penalty fought RALEIGH Legislation was introduced in the senate Wednesday that would eliminate North Carolina's mandatory death penalty for first degree burglary and first degree arson. The legislation, submitted by Sen. Eddie Know, D-Mecklenburg, would make the penalty for conviction of first degree burglary life imprisonment. The penalty for conviction on first degree arson would also be life imprisonment. Under the legislation, conviction on charges of second degree burglary would carry a two to thirty year sentence. The legislation came just one day after a conference committee trying to work out a compromise on differences in house and senate legislation on North Carolina's mandatory death penalty reported it was unable to reach any agreement. In other action, the house and senate appeared more concerned with sweeping through numerous minor bills and deferred action on a number of issues facing considerable debate. - . -. 1 1 T First Showing of Botanical Prints Taken from an old 1824 German book-and hand colored-we think. $2.00 Each THE OLD BOOK CORNER 137 A East Rosemary Street Opposite Town Parking Lots Hi.

Anderson, 57, Agnew's successor as county executive and one of Maryland's most powerful Democrats, was convicted of, extorting more than $38,000 in kickbacks from engineers and architects in return for no-bid contracts and of evading more than $67,000 in federal income taxes. The grand jury that indicted Anderson also heard evidence that resulted in Agnew's resignation as vice president and his no contest plea to one count of tax evasion. Defense Attorney Norman P. Ramsey argued that the kickback scheme operated during the Agnew administration and that Anderson had tried to stop it. The prosecution agreed that Anderson, a former Democratic national committeeman, had inherited a system. of corruption but charged that he exploited it for his own personal profit. Assistant U.S. Attorney Russell T. Baker said in his summation that Anderson "inherited the kickback system. Anderson didn't create it, he didn't invent it, but he exploited it and made a lot of money out of it." I StOW!

Sirica had ruled Monday that it was incredible to argue that the secret report should "Be unavailable to the House of Representatives in a proceeding of so great import as an impeachment investigation." John J. Wilson, lawyer for H.R. Haldeman and John D.

BRUSSELS West German Foreign Minister Walter Scheel said Wednesday his country would do its part to meet President Nixon's call for a strengthened Atlantic Alliance. Britain and France were reported pleased by Nixon's remarks in Houston Tuesday night. "The Federal government will do everything in its power to contribute to the strengthening of the alliance, Scheel told the Bonn parliament. Scheel, in the first official European reaction to Nixon's news conference in Houston, said West Germany "welcomes the determination with which the United States has declared itself for the strengthening of the Atlantic Alliance." Nixon said in Houston: "It is in the vital interest of peace in the world and in the interest of the security of America as well as Europe that the alliance be continued and that there be no reduction of American forces in Europe unless it is mutually agreed with the Warsaw Pact." Diplomats in London said Nixon's tone was considerably milder than his speech in Chicago last week, in which he said Europe could not expect continued presence of U.S. forces if it ganged up on the United States. They said Nixon's change of tone and renewed pledge to keep U.S. forces in Europe would help to calm European anxieties about transatlantic relations. British government sources said they welcomed Nixon's no isolationism pledge and said Britain was ready to cooperate closely with the United States.
