WASHINGTON Congressional
investigators looking into President Nixon's
taxes are reportedly convinced that the deed
establishing his right to claim a $576,000
deduction for his vice presidential papers
never existed. The New York Times reported
Sunday.
The Times also quoted unnamed sources
close to the investigation as saying they have
evidence to refute Nixon's lawyers' claims
that the deduction was legal even if the deed
cannot be found.
The President's lawyers contend the
papers were delivered to the National
Archives before a change in the tax laws
disallowed such big deductions by public
officials.
Uganda coup
NAIROBI A former army chief of staff
who recently returned from Russia led an
abortive coup attempt against Ugandan
President Idi Amin Sunday that ended in a
six-hour tank and machinegun battle in the
streets of Kampala, diplomaticsources said.
Radio Uganda said a rumor that an
invading force meant to kill Amin sparked
the fighting between confused army troops
in the capital of the central African country.:
The diplomats identified the leader of
what they described as a mutiny against
Amin as Brig. Charles Arube who has been
army chief of staff until he went to the Soviet
Union for further military training about a
year ago. He returned to Uganda only
U S. boats held
NEW ORLEANS After one American
shrimp boat was seized by a Mexican
gunboat and forced into Isla Mujeres
Harbor, the U.S. Coast Guard said Sunday
it learned four others that followed may be
charged with illegal entry into the Mexican
port.
A spokesman for the Coast Guard's search
and rescue center in New Orleans said the
entire affair, apparently over disputed
fishing territory, had been handed over to
the State Department and the U.S.
Consulate in Merida, Mexico, for
investigation.
The Coast Guard said the gunboat
apparently was guarding the 12-mile
seaward boundary of Mexico off the
Yucatan Peninsula from intruders Saturday
when it seized the Vilco, a Fort Myers, Fla.,
boat, one of a fleet of 25 reported lying 12 to
15 miles offshore.
"Our boats said they were fishing in legal
territory and the guys are veteran
fishermen," said Lawrence Shaffer, owner of
the Frank and Louise, one of the shrimpers
that reportedly followed-the f'ro into isla ,:

The Times said the investigators have
papers showing that three months after the
cutoff for such deductions the papers were
still being described as the property of Nixon
that was being presently stored at the
Archives.
The evidence will be presented soon to the
Congressional Joint Committee on Internal
Revenue Taxation which is studying Nixon's
taxes. The Times said.
The staff likely will reach no conclusions
on whether Nixon knew of the allegedly
nonexistent deed and about the undisputed
fact that the only version of the deed that
now exists is a back-dated version, according
to The Times.
"On the question of Mr. Nixon's
attempt fails
recently.
A military spokesman Sunday night said
Arube shot himself during the fighting and
that he died later in the hospital.
Diplomatic sources said Amin's own
words indicated he probably was the target
of an unsucessful coup.
They said statements in which Amin told
soldiers to "kill him if they were dissatisfied
with his leadership" supported their view
that the six-hour - clash was an abortive
rebellion. Radio Uganda said an unknown
number of "soldiers and other people were
killed during the confusion".
The radio said Amin met soldiers who
briefly occupied the city in Sunday's
predawn hours and then drove through
Kampala where he was cheered by
thousands of persons.
"The troops told him they had been
misinformed last night that an invading
force meant to kill him and take over the
country," they said. "These troops then
moved to forestall such an event and
occupied installations in Kampala. They are
now back in their barracks."
Weekend trip is back
NEW YORK Many Americans who had
been staying home on weekends because of
the gasoline shortage hit the road to seaside
resorts, parks and historic attractions
Sunday, five days after President Nixon
dropped the voluntary ban on Sunday
gasoline sales.
President Nixon suggested last week that
the lifting of the Arab oil embargo and
increased supplies of gasoline made it no
longer necessary for stations to shut down on
Sunday.
William E. Simon, the nation's energy
chief, had a word of caution for motorists
Sunday. He predicted that gasoline supplies
should increase sufficiently for a normal
slimmer of travel but drivers should plan
their trips,- observe 55-mile per hour speed
limits arid shirt Off theit car air conditioners.

knowledge may hinge the even more

say that the President committed fraud in his
income taxes." said The Times.
Meanwhile. Sen. Howard Baker. R
Tenn., saying the nation does not want
President Nixon's impeachment decided on
a narrow legalism, urged both Nixon and the
House Judiciary Committee to give a little
on the committee's demands for 42
presidential tapes.
Baker, vice chairman of the Senate
Watergate Committee, said the country
would be better served if Nixon voluntarily
relinquished to the committee's
impeachment inquiry all tapes and
documents decently relevant, arguably
relevant.
"The country doesn't want legalisms,"
Baker said Sunday on CBS-TV's Face the
Nation. "They don't want these issues of
such paramount importance, particularly
the inquiry into impeachment, decided on
narrow issues."
"If there is any reasonable claim that those
tapes or any other documents are relevant, I
think the President ought to give them,"
Baker said. "That would better serve the
institution of the presidency and certainly
the country."
Cherokees ask
for more gas
CHEROKEE, N.C. Tribal and business
leaders here have appealed to federal energy
officials for increased gasoline allocations,
vital to their tourist-oriented economy.
John Crowe, principal chief of the eastern
band of Cherokee Indians, last week led a
delegation of local officials to Washington
for a meeting with the government officials.
Crowe, Jim Cooper, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and others from
here pointed out that the local economy
could be stunted without enough gasoline to
lure tourists.
About eight million persons visited the
town, the surrounding reservation and the
nearby Great Smoky Mountain National
Park last year, spending $17 million which
produced $500,000 in tribal levels to operate
the Indian government.

Woodcock says Nixon should resign
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock
said Sunday it would be "better for the country' if President Nixon resigned and were
succeeded by Vice President Gerald R. Ford.
The labor leader said he doubted Nixon would step down.
"I think if Mr. Nixon would resign and I don't expect him to and Mr. Ford
became president, it would be better for the country. I have felt that all along.
"We don't agree politically," Voodcock said, "but Vice President Ford does
represent what the American people voted for in the presidency in November 1972
and the fact that he is a man of integrity, and his honesty, would be reassuring to the
American people."
ECissinger arrives in HUoscow
MOSCOW Secretary of State Henry Kissinger arrived Sunday night to prepare
the way for President Nixon's projected visit and said he hoped to make concrete
progress on nuclear arms, trade and other issues in talks with Soviet leaders.
Kissinger flew into Vnukovo airport from Bonn, where he met West German
Chancellor Willy Brandt during the afternoon and discussed recent U.S. differences
with its European allies. ,
"I expect we will make concrete progress on a number of outstanding issues,"
Kissinger told newsmen in Moscow.
Brandt's party loses in local election
KIEL. Germany Chancellor Willy Brandt's Social Democrats took a heavy
beating Sunday in local elections in West Germany's northernmost state of
Schleswig-Holstein. It was their third defeat in as many local and state parliamentary
ballotings this year.
The Schleswig-Holstein returns confirmed recent public opinion polls indicating
displeasure with Brandt's apparent inability to bring inflation and mounting
unemployment under control.

Birds return
after skirmish
GRACE HAM, Md. The great war
against the ten million birds of Graccham
had succeeded Sunday only in driving them
to nearby communities. includingThurmont
where President Nixon spent the weekend at
Camp Daid.
And officials conceded many had gotten
back into Edgar Emrich's pine groe during
the night.
State, federal and local officials decided to
re-evaluate their strategy, admitting the
blackbirds, starlings and gracklcs were more
difficult than expected to scare off.
The birds still hac the memory imprint
of this place as a natural roosting area and
it's going to take more time than originally
planned to condition them to fly away." said
John McAinue of the Maryland Health
Department.
"We think these birds will resume their
normal migratory patterns north as soon as
the temperatures get into the 70s but we're
going to continue the offensive for probably
six more days now instead of the three
originally planned. McAvinue said.
With temperatures falling into the 20s
Sunday night more birds were expected to
head for the shelter of the pine grove and the
battle of the birds w as set for another round.
Official estimates Saturday that between
80 and 9X per cent of the birds had been
driven off proved to be over-optimistic.
An electronic offensive, similar to one
believed successful Friday night, was
mounted again Saturday night as the flocks
swoopedinoverthissmallcommunityof400
and tried to land in Emrich's 60-acre pine
grove, where they have been roosting since
November.
This time the birds out-maneuvered the
propane cannons, loudspeakers, firecrackers
and carbide exploders and found roosts in
deep sections of the grove and on nearby
property. There was some belief the birds
had become immune to the bird-in-distress
calls broadcast by 300-watt amplifiers and
were ignoring the other efforts to shoo them
away.
Bernard Halla. of the Maryland wildlife
administration, said some sections of
Emrich's forest were still thickly infested.
