U S Attorney Richard Thornburgh told a Pittsburgh civic luncheon that illegal gambling in Pennsylvania may total 350 million dollars annually. He suggested repealing or enforcing laws accordingly, warning moral laxity undermines the rule of law and plays into mob aims. He noted that lax enforcement harms legal standards.
A Pennsylvania paragraph urges clear law on charity bingo and betting, while a Washington feature recounts Charles Colson’s alleged musings on a degaussing cannon to erase White House tapes. The report links Thornburgh’s stance on gambling to a broader call for enforceable rules and a chilling, hypothetical plot about destroying presidential evidence.
The article recounts Colson and associates pursuing a de gaussing device to erase tapes near CIA files, facing skepticism from Allan Bell of Dektor Counterintelligence and security. It also notes Nixon’s fear of Colson’s action and mentions a false confessing tape hoax idea. It also covers Bobby Baker’s forthcoming book alleging political manipulation by Goldwater Ervin and Curtis, and Baker’s plans to publish after Watergate.
President Ford denounces General Motors for a roughly 10 percent price hike, arguing inflation needs restraint though price increases may be economically justified. He warns other automakers to resist automatic hikes or else accept slimmer returns, while backing a summit and Cost of Living Council to curb inflation. The piece also notes a separate profile from Glasgow on Adam Berguis of Teacher's Highland Dream and Scottish whisky lore.
The statute of limitations varies by charge. Trespass to the person has a two year limit, land trespass and related actions six years, contracts not under seal six years, most felonies five years, other felonies and misdemeanors two years, and there is no time limit for murder.
