WASHINGTON-Confirmation of L. Patrick Gray as the
new head of the FBI appeared shaky Tuesday because White
House counsel John W. Dean III is being prevented from
testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Since
Prepident Nixon has refused to let Dean testify, Sen. John
Tunney, D-Calif.,said Gray's nomination would be "quite
improbable."
Sens. Mike Mansfield, D-Mont., and Phillip Hart, D-Mich.,
formerly supported Gray but now indicate they will reserve
judgment.
Gray's position is endangered because he disclosed
details of the FBI's investigation of the Watergate incident
to Dean, who was associated with G. Gordon Liddy, con
victed ringleader of the Watergate bugging operation.
WASHINGTON-Slower sales of beef have caused 16 food
chains to decrease orders up to 10 per cent during the past
month. Price consciousness of the consumer was noted since
sales increased during periods when specials and sales were
employed, according to a poll by the National Association
of Food Chains.
WASHINGTON-Concern that the North Vietnamese were
moving troops down the Ho Chi Minh Trail to South Vietnam
was voiced by the White House Wednesday.
The Pentagon said more than 30,000 men and some heavy
artilery was being moved, but Defense Department officials
took a noncommital stand.
WASHINGTON-Ford Motor Co. has asked the Environmen
tal Protection Agency to delay enforcing the clean air stan
dard. Allowing pollution control devices to be used before
they are tested would be disasterous, Ford said.
State
COLUMBIA-President Nixon's "impounding" policies are
detrimental to state agencies, according to a survey con
ducted by Gov. John C. West's office.
The Highway Department estimates it will be $51 million
behind in funds by June and the construction schedule is
"12 to 15 months behind schedule."
Highway Commissioner Silas N. Pearmen said the depart
ment has been "extremely handicapped" by the uncertainty
of federal funds.
The moratorium on subsidized housing means $155 mill
ion in business will be lost, according to a report from the
State Housing Authority..
Forest fire control funds have been reduced $273,000
which "will have a serious impact on our fire protection
program," according to John R. Tiller, state forester.
The Pollution Control Authority said the state needed $250
million rather than the $94 million the state will receive.
COLUMBIA-Maryland officials will testify Thursday at
a public hearing about the no-fault automobile insurance
plan.
Sen. Ralph J. Gasque, D-Marion, is chairman of a commit
tee studying liability insurance in the South Carolina House
and said, "We are especially impressed with the system
because it is designed to meet virtually the same problems
we in South Carolina are facing today."

A raise in food prices in Univer
sity dining facilities will be effec
tive Monday, March 26, according
to Douglas I. Fitzgerald, assistant
vice president for Auxiliary Ser
vices.
Fitzgerald sajd this pricebike was
necessitated by the "spirating cost
of meats and grocery items in addi
tion to rising labor costs in food ope
rations. He said the dining services
were "in a bind" and were forced
to increase their prices slightly.
The weekly cost increase to stu
dents should not be more than $1-$2
depending on individual eating
habits, Fitzgerald said.
The prices on some selected
entrees and the breakfast special
will be raised in the "range of a nic
kel or so" but vegetable prices will
generally remain the same.
Alternatives to the price increase
were to decrease food quality or the
portion size, Fitzgerald said. He
said these options were not "con
siderable alternatives."

Chuck Jordan, manager of South

increase is not a "drastic change,"
but was definitely needed.
Fitzgerald said such things as the
salad bar which is now 75 cents will
be raised to 85 cents and breakfast
now prlced at 60 cents will be
increased to 75 cents. He said
entrees which now cost 55 cent will
be 60 cent.

adjustments were instituted' on
limited items. It was not a general
overall increase.
Fitzgerald said the University
dining services are not trying to
"rip-off" students, but the cost of
food forces the University to raise
its prices.
Between January of 1971 and
January of 1973 the cost of eggs has
risen 26%, pork loin 28%, bacon
42%, corned beef 29% and cut hams
have increased 41%, Fitzgerald
said. He said these percentages are
indicative of the rising costs of eat
ing.
