White House denies Nixon offered McCord clemency
The White House said President Nixon never offered a shortened sentence in exchange for silence from Watergate figure James W. McCord. McCord testified he was told by E Howard Hunt that clemency could come after a year in jail if he pled guilty and remained quiet, but White House deputy press secretary Gerald L. Warren denied any discussion or offer by the President. The case involves McCord and six others facing prison for the break in at Democratic headquarters, with ongoing questions about promises of money or pardons to keep silent.

Washington City Council Revises Liquor Ordinance
The council adopted a revised liquor ordinance in a short special meeting at City Hall on Monday night. It eases a restriction on Washington Street and lowers the distance from churches and schools to 200 feet, but allows a new steak house permit for William Hodge on East Washington Street. The measure preserves a restricted downtown zone and exempts Hodge’s project under a clause for permitted streets. The session also authorized street-improvement payments and interviewed a police applicant.

Iowa Senate Kills Business Activity Tax Plan
The Iowa Senate Ways and Means Committee voted 7-6 to drop the proposed business activity tax aimed at replacing the personal property tax. The plan would have levied 0.5 percent on gross receipts and payroll to raise 46 million dollars. Republicans cited no tax reform this session and warned Democratic three-factor tax proposals would raise taxes for many, as windfall revenues are anticipated.
