Congressmen reassess positions on Nixon immunity
UPI reports in Washington that Senator Baker shifts from backing immunity for Nixon to reconsidering his stance.

Haskell urges abandoning all immunity appeals. Brooke and Taft fear trials would be unfair amid publicity. Hughes calls for ongoing Watergate investigation and possible indictment.

Fire Chief Raymond Hill said the weekend blast in Los Angeles was accidental and likely caused by a chemical reaction in a truckload of butyl hydroperoxide and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide heated by sun.
