Vaughn Opposes CCC Action On New Coastal Land Rules
California Coastal Commission adopted guidelines restricting rural Mendocino land divisions. Fort Bragg Mayor Bernie Vaughn condemned the move as overly restrictive, arguing it blocks housing and growth. Two Mendocino coast applications were denied under the rules. Local officials challenge the policy, calling it a de facto moratorium while advocating public hearings and reevaluation by state authorities.

Sen Edward Gurney indicted for bribery in Watergate probe
Federal grand jury charged Sen Edward J. Gurney R Fla with conspiracy bribery receiving unlawful compensation and four counts of false statements to a grand jury in the first indictment of a U S senator in 50 years. Prosecutors tied the case to a 10 month probe into favored treatment for builders and a 400000 campaign slush fund. Gurney called the charges false and vowed to fight them saying he would be vindicated. Florida GOP leader L E Tommy Thomas said the indictment could deal a mortal blow to his re election bid.

Rebozo Funneled Hughes Funds to Nixon Estate Improvements
The Senate Watergate Committee report alleges Charles G. Rebozo channeled secret campaign money into improvements at President Nixon’s Key Biscayne estate and to buy Pat Nixon’s jewelry. It cites a $100,000 Hughes cash gift and a $60,000 donation from A. D. Davis, with funds laundered via secret trust accounts and multiple banks. The panel asserts expenditures totaled $45,977 on renovations, including a pool, putting green, fireplace, and billiard table, while White House officials disputed the claims as unsubstantiated.
