Watergate grand jury to probe high level ties
Seven defendants will be ordered to appear before a grand jury to explore possible high level involvement in the Watergate affair. Earl Silbert said Liddy will be questioned thoroughly while no hard evidence links other Nixon officials. Sentencing for the defendants is expected in March as the inquiry expands.

Colson deposition cited in Watergate legal strategy
Charles W. Colson’s deposition in the civil suit brought by Democrats against Republicans over the Watergate arrests was released. Silbert says prosecutors pressed for conviction before immunity, relying on scantly hard evidence against others and noting immunity would risk grand jury outcomes and contempt battles. Chapin’s financing ties to Segretti and Kennedy Subcommittee moves to transfer findings to the Senate committee are reported.

Energy plan urged to cut national fuel use
Washington biologist Barry Commoner told a Senate committee that the nation should shift more passenger and freight traffic to rail and bus systems to cut energy use. He urged switching air travel under 200 miles to rail and wearing sweaters to cut heating demand, saying thermostats should be lowered and rooms cooled to 60 degrees. He also proposed reusable bottles and energy‑efficient building designs as part of a national policy.
