Meat Boycott On
As consumer groups around the country prepared last week
for the boycott on meat during the first week in April President
Nixon went on national television to announce a "price ceiling"
on beef, pork and lamb. However the presidential measure didn't
seem to please anyone, not the farmers nor the consumers.
AFL-CIO president George Meany said the ceiling "does not
go far enough" to win labor over to another year of wage-price
guidelines.
Devon Woodland, vice president of the American Farmers
Organization said "The farmer is at the bottom of the totem pole
as usual. . . ." Other spokesmen for the farmers maintain that
meat prices are fairer now than they have been for 20 years.
Most farm groups however have decided not to withhold meat
from the market until they see the results of the boycott when
the markets open on Monday.
Some Congressional leaders including Wilbur D. Mills, chairman
of the House Ways and Means Committee, have called of the Presi
dent to again freeze wages and prices in all catagories saying
the loose Phase III controls and the meat price ceiling was too
narrow to control spiraling prices.
Cup, Carowinds Wet
CAMDEN-Despite the restrictions of the weather and the recent
legal restrictions on brown-bagging about 13,000 people showed
up to see the 41st running of the Carolina Cup at the Springdale
Course. No arrests were reported by law enforcement officials
and there was but one injury on the track when Native Berry's
iockey took a fall in the first race.
ROCK HILL-Heavy skys failed to prevent 7,100 persons to turn out at
the opening of Carowinds, the $30-million amusement park straddling the
North-South Carolina line.
Carowinds officials had predicted a crowd of 15,000 for the opening
day. Miss South Carolina, Bonnie Corder, and Miss North Carolina, Con
stance Dorn cut the ribbon that opened the park.

Bug Pressure Up
WASHINGTON-With growing pressure from both Republican and
Democratic circles President Nixon, through his oress secretary Ronald
L. Ziegler, this week reiterated the position that the White House does
uiot "seek to cover anything up " in the Watergate conspiracy investigation.
On Thursday Republican Senator Lowell Weiker said the entire operation
came under the direction of "somebody still in the White House." Other
high Republicans urging the quick resolution of the investigation are Sen.
Hugh Scott, Senate minority leader, and George Bush, chairman of the
Republican National Conmittee.
Zeigler implied in his press conference that the administration is now
willing to testify on an informal basis before the senate committee that
is investigating the bugging incident.
However the vice chairman of that committee, Sen. Howard H. Baker,
R-Tenn., said that his would be unacceptable and said he wanted the wit
nesses to testify under oath in formal sessions.
In other Watergate business J. Gordon Liddy called by government pro
secutors the "boss" of the bugging incident refused to answer questions
before a federal grand jury even though he was guaranteed immunity
from further prosecution. Now Liddy must appear before Chief U.S. Dis
trict Court Judge John J. Sirica on Monday facing contempt of court
charges for not answering the questions.
Conspirator James W. McCord Jr. testifying before a senate panel, said
that Liddy told him that high presidential aides knew of and were involved
in the bugging. McCord also testifyed, according to newspaper reports,
that he was in extensive contact with former Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell
prior to the Watergate bugging, but the newspapers quoted the sources
as emphasizing that McCord never intimated that he and Mitchell had
discussed the Watergate bugging.
Mitchell has previously maintained that he had only one conversation
with McCord during his tenure as chairman of the Committee to Re-elect
the President.
Med College Pushed
COLUMBIA-State Sen. J. Walter Bristow who sat on a committee studying
the feesibility of a second medical college in South Carolina said last
week that his committee found that if funds were forthcoming from the
federal government, Columbia would be a good location for a second medi
cal college under the supervision, and affiliated with the Veterans Adminis
tration.
LONGJONS
PRESENTS 1927
1927 was a great year for pants.
The look was baggy.
Gloriously billowing legs
ended up in outrageous cuffs.
Fabrics went from far-out to insane.
And everybody had a good time.
A look like that deserves a second time around.
So, Long ions is bringing it back
in a line of carefree jeans for 1973.
And, from Topjons, there's a complementary line of tops
in the Spirit of '27.
