Bruce Keldan of the Philadelphia Inquirer cited several exchanges of foot taps and odd positions prompting federation action. Authorities then placed four tables under the playing area to keep players’ feet apart during bids.

Court Rejects Review of Liddy Conviction
The Supreme Court refused to review G. Gordon Liddy s Watergate burglary conviction, upholding a six count verdict of burglary wiretapping and conspiracy. Liddy faced a 20 year prison sentence and $40 000 fine after his 1974 conviction. The decision followed a bid by Liddy s attorney to challenge Judge Sirica s trial rulings and testimony. The court also agreed to hear cases on federal control of offshore oil reserves and other civil matters.

Rockefeller says CIA violated statutes and must be investigated
Vice president Rockefeller said his eight member commission will determine if the CIA violated its statutory authority by spying on American citizens. He emphasized the inquiry will trace who ordered the actions and why, and will extend to possible presidential or attorney general orders. The probe will compare with a Senate panel vowing broader scrutiny of the intelligence community and possible Nixon subpoena if needed.
