He urged reforms in campaign spending and government contracting, denied extortion claims, and explained his tax evasion plea as a quick resolution of the case. He resigned after a no contest tax verdict and urged trust in a vice president amid Watergate and Middle East crises.

Scott Paper weighs layoffs without variance at Winslow mill
Scott Paper Co. warns that without an air emission variance the Winslow pulp mill could lay off most of its 1 300 employees. A J Ben Haug urged Maine and federal agencies to grant a deadline extension to Oct 1 1976. He cited costs and a potential shutdown if the June 1 1975 deadline stands. The company will add controls to cut sulphur dioxide by late 1974 and has spent about $500 000 on pollution equipment. When Hinckley mill opens total emissions from both plants would drop to under half current levels.
