Federal Aid Battles as Nixon Budgets Cuts Hit Pennsylvania
State officials brace for reduced federal revenue sharing as President Nixon targets a $50 billion spending cap. Gov. Shapp warns of lower-than-now funding, with education and social services facing proposed cuts. Reports suggest Pennsylvania could lose hundreds of millions, including $325 million in water cleanup funds and billions impounded from Congressionally approved programs. Education and local school aid are among the programs targeted for reductions under the 1973-74 budget.

FBI Agent Paid By Nixon Staff To Spy On Dems
Ex FBI agent Alfred Baldwin II testified in the Watergate trial that he was paid 225 a week by Nixon campaign staff to eavesdrop on Democratic conversations. He logged about 200 phone calls tapped by a security agent for the Committee for the Re-election of the President. Baldwin said he started as a bodyguard for Martha Mitchell earning 70 a day, then took other duties. The trial includes James W. McCord Jr and G. Gordon Liddy, with other co-defendants having pleaded guilty. A dispute over naming overheard conversations led to a closed hearing and potential appeal to the Court of Appeals.
