New Plan To Boost Police Fleet Unveiled
The Lawton Police Department presented a plan to buy 40 new vehicles and equipment for about 158000 dollars to the City Council for study and possible vote next week. The plan updates an earlier proposal to provide cars for officers. It calls for 12 units on a 24 hour basis and other cars on 8 to 16 hour shifts with no off duty use. Four last year’s vans would shift to K-9 and special area duties, while eight vans are phased out due to high maintenance costs.

Nixon agrees to comply with tapes ruling in full
President Nixon agreed to comply in full with the Court of Appeals ruling directing him to turn over the White House tapes to a federal judge. Charles Alan Wright informed Judge Sirica that the compromise attempt failed to quell the constitutional crisis as House actions moved toward impeachment inquiries led by Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter Rodino. The Senate Watergate panel sought full tape disclosure and asked for a circuit reversal of a ruling denying authority to sue.
