Boating confusionLack of uniformity between United States
Coast Guard regulations and Iowa law isresulting in the arrest of some Iowa boatersplying the boundary waters of the state.
While the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers aregenerally regarded as federal waters, an Act ofCongress passed 128 years ago gives adjoiningstates concurrent jurisdiction over any river orlake that forms a common boundary betweenstates. :
THIS SIMPLY means that when you arecruising the Mississippi or Missouri Rivers youmay be subject to three sets of laws—thefederal law and the laws of the states on eithershore.
Unfortunately, these laws are not alwaysuniform.
Northeastern Iowa boaters, who are incompliance with Coast Guard regulationsregarding fire extinguishers, are being ar-rested on the Mississippi River because theyare not in \compliance with Iowa's morerestrictive law.
The\ Coast Guard* does not require fireextinguishers on outboard motorboats less than26 feet in length and not carrying passengersfor hire if the construction of the boat will notpermit the entrapment of flammable gases.
Iowa law requires a fire extinguisher onevery outboard motorboat powered by morethan 10 horsepower.
Roy Downing, head of the water section ofthe Iowa Conservation Commission, concedesthat the lack of uniformity between the CoastGuard and the various states having theMississippi as a common boundary is un-fortunate.
But he says the District Coast Guard office inSt. Louis has indicated to Iowa, officials thatthey prefer the more restrictive Iowa regu-]ations"to their own.
HE CONCEDES that the federal authoritiesand those representing the various statesshould get together o uniform regulations sothat if a boater is legal in one jurisdiction hewill be legal in all of them. He says a meetingbetween the various agencies in August willattempt to attain this goal.
In the meantime, boaters operating out of. Northeastern Iowa ports would do well to 'familiarize themselves with the boating laws ofali the states whose'boundary waters they mayenter, as well as Coast Guard regulations.
Some Northeast Iowa boaters, in the courseof a summer, may well come under thejurisdiction of four states—Iowa, Illinois, Wis-consin and Minnesota.
This sort of confusion does nothing toimprove a citizen's respect for the law. TheCoast Guard and the various states should gettogether promptly and agree on uniformregulations to be enforced by ail agenciesinvolved.

Suspect tells of fondnessfor strangled youngster, 2
WASHINGTON (AP) — A visibly angryfederal judge said Friday President Nixon'srefusal to live up to an agreement over accessby John D. Ehrlichman to files he left behindin the White House "borders on obstruction."
The comment from U.S. District JudgeGerhard Gesell came at the end of a 2Vz-hourhearing, ordered by Gesell, that could lead toa contempt citation against the President.
Gesell adjourned the session saying that heintends to write an order and opinion bearingqn Nixon's refusal to yield documents sub-poenaed by Ehrlichman.
R E F E R R I N G to the exc lus ion ofEhrlichman's lawyer from the room whereEhrlichman's files were kept, Gesell said hecould not agree to a procedure where thelawyer waits outside with Ehrlichman comingout periodically to confer. • • •. •
"1 don't see how I can agree to a procedurethat is so totally offensive," Gesell said.
"It is offensive, sir. It borders on obstruc-tion," the judge added.
Earlier, Gesell told St. Clair "When youmake a commitment in open court, you makeit to me. You broke it."
St. Clair said he acted on President Nixon'sorders. ' "
Ehrlichman .said he was informed by.St.Clair on Wednesday when he went'to theWhite House to look at the files that hisattorneys would not be allowed access to thedocuments as set out in an agreementbetween Gesell and St. Clair in open court lastFriday. Ehrlichman has subpoenaed the files.
The agreement was based on a letter fromPresident Nixon in which Nixon :saidEhrlichman and his attorneys would beallowed to go through Ehrlichman's WhiteHouse files to select documents they felt wereneeded for Ehrlichman's defense in an
upcoming trial in connection with a burglaryat the office of the psychiatrist of PentagonPapers figure Daniel Ellsberg.
IN HIS letter, Nixon said he would make thefinal decision on what material would actuallybe made available as evidence.
GeseU accepted the agreement to allowEhrlichman and his lawyer to review the.material but said he (Gesell), 'not thePresident, would make the final decision onwhat material would be used as evidence.
Gesell reiterated that stand Friday.
"I will determine what will be put to the0
jury, not you, not the President, not Mr.Ehrlichman," Gesell told St. Clair.
Gsell then began a hearing on who has legalcustody of the material and to determinewhether sufficient cause "exists to 'hold, acontempt of court hearing.
GESELL ordered the hearing after askingSt. Clai: "You are saying he (the President)will not comply with the court's order."
U.S. District Judge Gerhart A. Gesell askedNixon's lawyer, James D. St. Clair: "You are '.saying he (the President) will not comply,with the court's order." • - • '•'•'.' •'"•

Neighbor: Youngvictim liked suspect
WASHINGTON (AP) —Former Atty. Gen. Richard G.Kleindienst Friday received asuspended one-month jail sen-tence and a ?IOO fine forrefusing to answer "fully andaccurately" questions aboutthe ITT antitrust case beforea Senat committee.
U.S. District Judge GeorgeL. Hart Jr. said Kleindienstwas entitled to the light sen-tence as a man of highestintegrity.
HART SAID that whenKleindienst testified beforethe Senate Judiciary Commit-tee in 1972, he ".was not benton deception."
Rather, Hart said, Klein-dienst was attempt to protectsomeone else, an apparentreference to President Nixon'sorder that Kleindienst drop abig antitrust suit then pendingagainst the International Tele-phone & Telegraph Corp.
The sentence imposed on.the former attorney generalwas the minimum possible.
Kleindienst'broke into tearsas he left the courtroom.Composed later, he told re-porters he was "very humbledand very flattered."
He said, "We all haveduties to perform, judgments
to make. I did mine and herelam today."
KLEINDIENST continuedto defend the propriety'of histestimony in the ITT case andhis failure to "tell the Senatecommittee of Nixon's instruc-tion to drop the suit.
"The direct question wasnever put to me," he said. "Ihave never felt in my heartthat I perjured myself."
He "said Nixon's call oc-curred before the beginning ofnegotiations which led ul-timately to a settlement drop-ping the government antitrustsuit but allowing ITT to keepthe big Hartford Fire Insur-ance. '
After the sentencing, Klein-dienst declined to respond to
.repeated questions from re-porters about Nixon , andwhether the President wasinvolved in wrongdoing.
But Kleindienst said, "I hadno evidence when I was at-torney general that indicatedto me the President knewanything" about the Water-gate affair.
HE STOOD outside thecourthouse answering re-porters' questions for about a.half hour, then said, "it's

_ seemed to converge near the stores. He estimated that thestorm was traveling about 30 miles an hour.
"It was yellowish-brown," Kennedy said. "Stuff would go upin the middle, then fall out the side.-"You could see halves of homes. TVs, beds, couches ... just
going straight up. Every time it hit a power line sparks wouldfly and the line would blow. Natural gas lines also burst andsome caught fire." .
At one point, a live electtric wire dropped on Kennedy'spatrol car. He was not injured, but said the incident "joltedme."

Nixon asksi
jury reportdisclosure
WASHINGTON (AP) — Now that the secret is out. PresidentNixon wants formal court disclosure that a federal grand jurylinked him with the Watergate.cover-up.
The matter was to be argued Friday before U.S. DistrictJudge John J. Sirica, who barred such disclosure in the firstplace.
AFTER IT was reported Thursday that the Watergate grandjury voted 19 to 0 to include the President among unindictedcoconspirators, Nixon asked Sirica to lift the protective order.
There was no indication whether special prosecutor LeonJaworski would agree or contest the matter. The motion wasfiled by White House lawyer James D. St. Clair minutes beforethe court closed Thursday.
"The reasons for the continuance of the protective order areno longer compelling," St..Clair said.
He referred to "the grand jury's naming of certainindividuals as coconspirators," indicating that Nixon was notthe only person on the list.
THE NAMES were expected to be made public eventuallywhen prosecutors file a "bill of particulars"- for the formerNixon aides and campaign workers scheduled to go on trial -Sept. 9.
Such a bill insures that defendants are aware of allegationsagainst them and is almost routinely requested before trial.
Legal experts said the grand jury's inclusion of thePresident weakens his legal argument for continuing towithhold subpoenaed tapes and documents.
Jaworski's attempt to pry 64 tape recordings from the WhiteHouse is scheduled to be heard by the Supreme Court next
1 month, focusing on whether executive privilege entitles thePresident not to release evidence requested for the coveruptrial.

said, he was awakened by thegirl's brother, who was stand-ing outside the door yelling,"Hey, is my sister in there?Have you seen Shelly?".Fitz said he then wentoutside and checked aroundthe neighborhood but couldn'tfind her. . f ;.. ,. Shortly after 5 p.m., -thebabysitter,; Mrs. Hiimer,called Waterloo police to re-port that the girl had disap-peared.
Mrs. Hiimer and the girl'smother had already begun asearch for the girl, Mrs. Daysaid in an interview about 45minutes before' police .dis-covered her daughter's body.
Mrs. Day said she hadcoffee with Mrs. Hiimer afterdropping the girl off, anddiscovered the girl was miss-ing when she tried to find herto kiss her goodby beforeleaving for work.
"The first place we went,"the distraught Mrs. Day said,"was to the river."
The Cedar River flowsabout two blocks north of thealleged murder scene.
"Then when we didn't findher there, we looked aroundthe neighborhood and after westill couldn't find her wecalled police," she said.
Within minutes police began
a massive search, but afterfailing to find.her, called involunteer auxiliary police andmembers of the NortheastIowa Citizens Band RadioClub for assistance.
ONE MEMBER of the clubsaid every house and businessplace within a mile of theapartment building wassearched as well as" bushesand grass along'the. shores ofthe river. •"'
Meanwhile, several hundredpersons, some of whom as-sisted in searching the neigh-borhood, stood in clusters out-side the apartment awaitingword on the girl.
And sitting on the porch infront of his apartment wasFitz, chain smoking cigarettesand sipping beer.
After telling of his rela-tionship with the girl, Fitz,who-displays a tattoo on hisleft forearm proclaiming"Born to Lose," told of howhe believed someone had triedto kill him while he sleptWednesday night.
"I woke up-' and smelledgas," Fitz said. "I went to mykitchen and found someonehad turned the gas on mystove on and had left the ovendoor open.... . .
"I got sick," he claimed,adding that he felt so ill thathe didn't report to work.Thursday. Fitz said he
worked for a Waterloo con-struction company.
"I really think someone'strying to kill me," he added,flipping an empty can of beeronto the sidewalk.
ABOUT 40. minutes laterpolice, while searching Fitz'sapartment, found a trap doorin the bathroom, climbed intoan attic and discovered thebody of the girl. •
Fitz, who reportedly heardthat his apartment was beingsearched, allegedly ran fromthe scene and was ap-"prehended about 25 minuteslater in the 600 block ofJefferson Street after, officersclosed in to seal off the area.
The girl's parents brokeinto sobs when police toldthem that the girl had beenfound, and ironically sat downon the porch steps where Fitz,who only moments" before satwatching the activities outsidethe apartment.

WASHINGTON ( A P ) —Heeding Nixon administrationadvice, the Senate has refusedto order U.S. troop reductionsoverseas.
Cuts of 125,000 and 76,000proposed by Sen. Mike Mans-field, D-Mont., were rejectedThursday on roll call votes.
The action duplicated Houserejection last month of anamendmen t to r equ i rewithdrawal of 100,000 of theapproximately 430,000 U.S.ground troops and airmenstationed on'foreign soil.
SECRETARY of State Hen-ry A. Kissinger had warnedthat, unilateral reduction ofU.S. forces in Europe wouldundermine negotiations withRussia for mutual cutbacks inopposing forces of NATO andthe Warsaw Pact alliances.
The Senate defeated, 54 to35, Mansfield's amendment tocut U.S. overseas forcesworldwide by 125,000.
A second amendment call-ing for a 76,000 reduction wasrejected 4644.
Mansfield said Americansare spending $19 billion this.year to support 313,000 troopsand 235,000 dependents in Eu- .rope alone. Sen. Walter F.Mondale, D-Minn., 'a sup-porter of overseas troop cutsin the pasi, said Watergatehad a bearing on his rateagainst the reductions. '
" MONDALE said President• Nixon "does not have suffi-cient .support to substitutepolitical commitments for a
ence in crucial overseasareas."
