Colson pleads guilty as plea may affect plumbers defense
Former White House aide Charles W. Colson pleaded guilty to leading a 1971 scheme to influence the Ellsberg trial. He faces sentencing June 21 on a single count, while prosecutors seek dismissal of related Watergate and fielding break‑in charges. Colson said his motive was to neutralize Ellsberg as an antiwar speaker.

City Can't Afford Drainage System
Mexico city engineer Gilbert Patrick says federal funds are not economically feasible to build a needed drainage system. HUD rejected 1966 and 1969 applications, despite torrential rains. Some steps were taken including Route 1 drainage work and west underpass improvements. If the Better Cities Act passes, federal aid may return. The latest flood stemmed from heavy rains straining the South Fork of Salt River.

Power rates to rise for gas but not for electricity says MP and L official
Missouri Power and Light officials said electric bills will not rise overall and may drop slightly for some customers while gas rates will rise about 10 percent. The gas increase takes effect with July meter readings, pro rated from June 11 to July 11. Officials cited interim PSC-approved increases, later offset by reduced power costs. Residential electricity averages 3.2 cents per kWh, near levels from a decade ago.
