AP analysis shows Nixon backers in Congress responding cautiously during the Watergate tapes crisis, reflecting ongoing political difficulty for the president as party lawmakers weigh their positions and potential consequences.
The Mexico Audrain County Library adds many new adult books across fiction and non fiction. Titles include Beulah Land and Travel at the Price. Also noted are government reports on solid waste management and environmental topics. A Nixon era political update follows with lawmakers reacting to White House tapes and the call for a new special prosecutor.
The Nixon administration pledged relief from rising food prices and more meat on tables next year while warning of higher unemployment and still-high interest rates. Herbert Stein said food prices should rise less and beef and pork supplies should increase, but inflation would stay above five percent into 1974 and 2.7 million jobs were created last year. Unemployment may rise modestly, and the Fed is not likely to ease tight policy.
UCLA engineer Dr. William Van Vorst advocates hydrogen powered cars as safe and abundant, noting a $60,000 DOT contract. His team of six students built a hydrogen car that won the 1972 Urban Vehicle Design Competition, highlighting hydrogen’s clean burn and potential as a near unlimited fuel source despite public fears rooted in the Hindenburg lore.
A feasibility study explores hydrogen powered cars using metal hydride storage to condense hydrogen on metal surfaces like iron titanium or aluminum. Van Vorst notes minimal engine changes required and potential efficiency gains with reduced particulates, with cost analysis pending.
Whitewater’s Hamilton Brass Bed Co. custom builds new brass beds and reconditions older ones. Ed Hamilton and his son Greg run what a metal trade magazine calls the country’s only brass bed maker, offering restoration and fresh creations as water bed trends fade.
The Hamiltons, father and son, travel widely to craft two beds daily and ship them on order across the country. A Houston department store and many antique shops sell their lacquered beds, a key advantage over grandma's that saves weekly polishing.
Jeremiah A. Denton Jr., senior Naval officer held prisoner in North Vietnam, is named commandant of the Armed Forces Staff College in Norfolk. Denton, promoted from captain to rear admiral after his release, will report in January.
