Judge allows subpoenas in Nixon campaign funding case
Judge Waddy Friday refused to squash subpoenas seeking major contributor disclosures for Nixon reelection. The ruling compels Florida baker Rebot and California attorney Kalmbach to depose before Common Cause, which previously won disclosure of a secret Nixon campaign donor list. The broader suit targets contributions and funding between June 1, 1971, and April 7, 1972, amid new reporting rules. The Nixon campaign committee later disclosed over 60 million dollars raised and a contributor list totaling 185 million in value.

Hospitals seek end to Blue Cross ties in Philadelphia area
Twenty Philadelphia region hospitals plan to sever ties with Blue Cross, urging Delaware Valley Hospital Council members to drop contracts. If adopted, subscribers would pay the difference between hospital bills and what Blue Cross reimburses, forcing higher Blue Cross rates and possible 20 to 50 percent increases. State Insurance Commissioner Denenberg opposes the move and says it could cripple Blue Cross.
