Last week, about Tuesday, I sent you a breakdown, SI info, on the Watergate gang setup. I talked about "suicides" coming up. Only took a couple of days, Congressman Mills suicided. He was on the fringes of the Gang, as you perhaps read, tied into the Gang with a personal loan of some sort. A big one.
That's one.

Incidentally, "Predictions For 1973" has a fine prediction by me on this Watergate mess situation. See "corruption in high government"...and "it will be discovered in 1973 that ours is no longer a government of, by, and for the people"!

Take a look. See p. 72!!

Now I've one more thing to add...to the info sent you last week.

The "M/S" Gang, Mafia/Syndicate...is masterminded by powerful financiers in the world...Onassis, Howard Hughes, Hunt, and so on. THEY make the policy and steer the "ship"...and M/S is their muscle, carrying out the dirty-work action.
Their purpose was to "take" the world...by first gaining control of the U.S., most powerful country...from the White House on down the line...so that they could make and dictate our policy, rig the Market, control things like the Russian Wheat Deal, drug control, firearm control, and so forth.
And of course, with their combined finances...very little could stand up against them...since they could have anybody killed, anywhere, who opposed them.
The ONLY shield against them...was principle, morals, ethics.
Their money went over, under and around just about everybody's principle, morals and ethics...except a handful...Sirrica, etc...and only this handful, beat then THIS TIME. But...they'll be back with a "new ballgame" in time ahead.

Secretary of the Treasury. The money came from a $1.7 million fund administered by the President's personal lawyer, Herbert Kalmbach-the same fund that was later allegedly used to finance the Watergate burglary-and Mills failed to report the windfall to the Maryland Board of Elections, possibly in violation of state law.
Unusual: No one accused Mills of any involvement in the Watergate affair himself, and officials from the Committee for the Re-election of the President explained that the contribution, though unusual (it was handed over in cash) was free of Watergate taint. "It would have been an embarrassment to lose that seat to a Democrat," observed one GOP topsider. "At the time we needed all the votes we could get in Congress."
For the moment, Mills's only connection with the scandal seemed to be that he had fed from the same money trough that later nourished the Waterbuggers. But even that distant association hurt. "He wasn't wringing his hands," recalled one friend in Washington last week, "but he reflected great pain."
Mills anguished for three days with his friends and family (a wife, Norma Lea, a son, 16, and a married daughter, 24). He denied any wrongdoing on local television near his shore home in Easton, Md., and in a taped radio message. Then a little before 7 the next morning, Mills left his house, drove to a nearby stable, Mulberry Hill Farm, went into the barn and shot himself through the heart with a 12-gauge shotgun. Several notes were found, one near his body, saying he didn't know how to prove his innocence-"there was no other way out." Friends were stunned. "He was so remote from Watergate," said one. "It was a tragic overreaction."
Mills: 'A tragic overreaction'
Waterbugger whose children have come in for some hazing. "You know how cruel other children can be." Egil Krogh's small son, Peter, got his baptism one day as he drove past the White House on a school outing. His classmates booed-and he burst into tears. But older offspring, at colleges and universities around the country, seem to be taking each day's developments in stride-maintaining the same stiff lip they always do when the talk turns to Washington. "This isn't a very good time to give interviews," said H.H. (Hank) Haldeman at UCLA recently. "It would not be helping my father."
The first prize for good humor in the face of adversity probably goes to Joanne Haldeman. When a florist turned up with a potted plant from a well-wisher last week, Mrs. Haldeman told him to leave it on the stoop in the rain. She had a wry explanation: "I wanted to drown the bugs in it first."
A Fatal Footnote
The widening investigation into corruption at the financial wellsprings of the 1972 Nixon campaign claimed its first fatality last week: Rep. William O. Mills, 48, an obscure Maryland congressman-and protégé of former GOP National Chairman Rogers C.B. Morton-who found himself identified at the outermost fringe of the Watergate scandal, and chose death over that disgrace.
The tragedy started almost as a footnote to a report on the President's 1972 finance committee released last week by the General Accounting Office. According to the report, the congressman accepted a $25,000 loan in 1971 from Nixon campaign funds. Mills used the money to bankroll his successful bid to fill the House seat left vacant when Morton signed on with the Nixon Cabinet as
dent Agnew and John Connally both have their fortunes linked to the President's; Connally seized the Watergate opportunity to switch to the GOP as a Nixon loyalist. New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and California Gov. Ronald Reagan see their chances rising in proportion to Mr. Nixon's injuries, but can only say as little as possible about the whole messy business. Reagan won't even concede that the Watergate 'buggers are properly classified as criminals ("They're not criminals at heart").
Mr. Clean: But Percy has clashed with Mr. Nixon before-over Vietnam, the ABM and G. Harold Carswell's nomination to the Supreme Court-and he sees Watergate as a chance to take the moral lead. Even though he clearly risks alienating GOP loyalists around the country, his Mr. Clean approach has brought him phenomenal success with Illinois voters, and he is betting that it will work as well nationwide.
The President's Watergate message had barely faded from the TV screen last month when Percy introduced a Senate resolution-passed by 5-0 when the floor was nearly empty-calling for a special prosecutor in the case. "The executive branch should not be investigating itself," he declared. The President reportedly fumed at a Cabinet meeting that Percy was making a cynical bid for the Presidency, and predicted he would fail "as long as I have anything to say about it." But Percy was ready with a stinging counterattack. Said the senator: "I think it's absolutely ghoulish that the President would raise a political issue in the midst of a scandal that is shaking the country to its roots."
Mess: Percy continued his campaign after last week's statement by the President. It was, he said, still too little, too late. Calling big money the root of most political evil, the millionaire senator has also proposed a campaign-spending reform act with stiff criminal penalties.
The strategy may seem a little opportunistic to those who remember how the senator skirted Watergate last year in his own campaign. Indeed, when his outspoken wife began talking to reporters about "the disgusting mess" that was then just beginning to unfold, Percy all but kicked her in the shins ("Now, Lorraine..."). "Chuck does seem to rush up front at the last minute on some things," concedes a political ally. Conservative GOP leaders are more outspoken. "He's always looking out for himself," fumes state Rep. Henry Hyde. "This is the time the President and the party need help and support."
But Percy maintains that even Repub-
POLITICS:
Percy's Gamble
Jetting across the country these days, Illinois Sen. Charles Percy flips frequently through a pack of file cards bearing his latest Watergate wisecracks (one somewhat limp sample: "I have found far more support for my prison-reform legislation since Watergate broke open"). In a spate of personal appearances from Washington, D.C., to La Crosse, Wis., he bolsters his warm-up jokes with fat paragraphs of indignation. Watergate, Percy likes to tell the crowds, "is an outrage to decent men everywhere...and I am one of them."
Some fellow Republicans question Percy's political decency, but he is certainly outraged. More than any other national political figure, and certainly more than any other Republican, Charles Percy has made Watergate his personal issue for now-and perhaps a solid base for a run at the White House in 1976.
Percy's gadfly tactic is a sharp contrast to the pre-Presidential stance of his leading Republican rivals. Vice Presi-
lican voters will respond to a candidate who tries to expose the full story of Watergate and cleanse his party in the process. "The man who picks up the pieces on this has to be independent," he told NEWSWEEK'S Tony Fuller. "If the price I have to pay for my independence is some criticism from the so-called professionals, then I'll pay it."

Hunt Said Not Incapacitated
July '75
WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U. S. Bureau of Prisons medical director said Saturday that Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt has symptoms "consistent with a stroke" but is not incapacitated, cited.
Dr. Robert Brutsche said it is not anticipated that Hunt will be hospitalized or transferred from the federal prison at Danbury, Conn., where he is being held pending final sentencing for his part in masterminding the June 17, 1972, break-in at Democratic national headquarters at the Watergate complex.
"It is a stable problem, without incapacitation," Brutsche said, while not ruling out further medical tests on Hunt.
Washington Post writer Maxine Cheshire quoted Hunt's literary agent, Donald MacCampbell, as saying that Hunt apparently has suffered a stroke that left one of his legs partially paralyzed.
Brutsche said the question of a stroke is "moot--it could be some other kind of illness."
Brutsche said doctors "can place no time" on when illness began. But MacCampbell said Hunt believes it was brought on by a fight the convicted conspirator had in June with a cellmate in the District of Columbia jail.
He was examined by doctors at Danbury after he complained of illness.
The Post quoted MacCampbell as saying that Hunt, 54, has been "deteriorating rapidly -- both physically and psychologically."
"He looks like an old man," MacCampbell said. "He was in such bad shape that he couldn't even draft a letter, I had to do it for him."
Hunt, code-named "the Writer" while taking part in the Watergate and other operations, will soon have 17 books in print, according to MacCampbell.

$CIENTISTS....

I predicted rather recently...that the key Watergate crooks...were all in great danger from assassination by orders of The Rich Gang...international and national financiers.
Now, one of the biggest witnesses in the Watergate affair...is Howard Hunt. I predicted to you...or to Warren Smith for his oncoming book...that Mrs. Hunt, Howard Hunt's wife was murdered in that plane crash. No accident there. So now Hunt, inside prison, has a "stroke". Well, you say...if he were in prison...how could the Rich Gang get to him?
Remember Jack Ruby? He's the man who unexplainedly and mysteriously shot down President Kennedy's alleged killer. (I knew Jack Ruby...he had to be ORDERED to do a thing like that...he wasn't a cuckoo.) All right. Of the way: Ruby killed Kennedy's killer: then Ruby DEVELOPED CANCER WHILE IN PRISON AND DIED. For your information...if you do not know it already...cancer can be injected into a human being deliberately. Not long ago some test tubes which contained cancer-producing agencies were stolen from a laboratory down in Florida...and a newspaper blurb warned the thief about it. One does not have to murder with gun or knife...one can murder by injecting an airbubble into the victim's blood stream...or injecting cancer-producing agencies into the victim. And my psychic ability tells me that that is what was done to Ruby.
Now if Hunt suddenly, with no previous cancer history, expires from a sudden attack of metastasis...which is what I expect to happen...you will know that my psychic hunch about all this is correct.
Of course, the Rich Gang could easily hire convicts they know who are in prison with Hunt...to fight with Hunt and injure him mentally so that he would all look quite nature, for prison doings. But I think...cancer-producing agents have been injected into Hunt.
And it is quite possible...that the Rich Gang have just done this with President Nixon...when he went into hospital in July (same as Hunt, but with different symptoms...alleged symptoms.) So that Nixon will come down the picture, along with key witness Hunt.
If the Rich Gang "has" a doctor in the White House situation...and why not? Look at the huge bunch of top people they have, who've been discovered...then that doctor could easily see to it that Nixon be given a shot for flu...except it contains cancer producing agencies.
One other thing...I have pointed out in a recent communication...that non-pros were used by the Rich Gang to set up the "Almost" take-over of the U.S. by the White House Gang. Non-pros. Get that. Now think about this: President Kennedy was murdered with a rifle that cost about $13.00. An old, used rifle bought from a mailorder house. Robert Kennedy was

=== **Page: 4 of 8**

murdered by a man who used a cheap Saturday night special .22 pistol.
Governor Wallace was shot by a man who used an imitation Colt pistol...
another Saturday night special .38, a cheap gun.
I point out the obvious pattern. ALL THESE WEAPONS WERE NON-PRO
WEAPONS.

I wonder if I make myself clear.

To kill a President...you would expect an elaborate, expensive
high-power rifle. Not a used, $13 model using European ammo.

To kill the President's brother, you would expect that an expensive
pistol, fitted with a silencer, would be used. Not a cheap .22,
a piece of junk.

To kill a Governor...and with the man stalking his prey for weeks...
apparently bankrolled by "somebody" to make it possible...you would
have thought that an expensive, finely-tooled .45 or .38 would be
used for that purpose. But no...a cheap, junky imitation Colt .38
was used...I believe made in Spain, or some such place.

In other words...the incredibly intelligent brains behind these
shootings...had their gunman-tool use a non-professional weapon,
to make it look like a non-professional job.
The whole slough of top White House men who have been apprehended...
were not pros...they were picked that way and patiently maneuvered
into position...so that if things went wrong, it would not look like
a professionally set-up job...non-pro...just "something a bunch of
fellows cooked up themselves."

The shootings...and the near take over of the U.S. from inside the
White House...HAD TO HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF NOT HAVING BEEN PLANNED
INTRICATELY. Non-professional, as it were.

The trademark of a top "hit" man...is to make his murders look'
like accidents, or "something that just happened, like a heart attack".

Ted Owens (PK Man)

PS...oh, just one other thing. In National News Exploiter, a Chicago
publication, in their issue dated September 17, 1972...they had an
article on me...accompanied by three photos. One photo was of Liz
Taylor and Richard Burton...because in the article I was predicting
that those two would get divorced. They are now in the divorce courts.
There was a photo of President Nixon...because in the article I stated
"President Nixon won't complete his second term in office. He will
either resign, or be forced out." Under the photo of Nixon it says,
"President Nixon will be unable to finish his term." Well, you are
watching what is happening at Watergate now...and you know that this
week a move was made for Nixon's impeachment in Congress.

Maryland Rep. Mills
Is Apparent Suicide;
Tied to Nixon Funds
From Our Wire Services
EASTON, Md. -- Rep. William O. Mills (R., Md.), was found dead, apparently of a self-inflicted shotgun wound early Thursday, five days after disclosures that he had received secret financial aid from the Nixon campaign organization in 1971.
Mills was found by a caretaker about 7:05 A.M. in a barn where he kept his horses on a farm near here. He usually went to the barn early every morning to feed the horses.
A hospital official said Mills suffered a large shotgun wound in the chest and was dead on arrival at Easton Memorial Hospital. Talbot County State's Attorney William D. Horne said that "there is no evidence of foul play."
A hospital spokesman, asked if it was suicide, said: "He was shot at close range, he was by himself -- what else could it be?"
Mills, 48, was an administrative assistant to Interior Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton when he was a Maryland congressman. He succeeded Morton in a special election in 1971.
House Speaker Carl Albert (D., Okla.), canceled the day's business. Flags on all Federal buildings in Washington were lowered to half-staff. "The news has shaken us all," Albert said.
It was the second tragedy to hit Mills' office in a little more than a year. His three top aides, including campaign manager James Webster, who

was alleged to have received the secret funds, were killed in an auto accident near Annapolis, Md., on Feb. 3, 1972.
Mills had been under investigation for failing to report to state election officials a $25,000 cash contribution to his 1971 campaign that allegedly came from secret funds obtained by the Finance Committee to Re-elect the President.
Mills denied several times this week that he had done anything wrong. Wednesday night he called the Easton, Md., radio station WEMD about 10 P.M. and reiterated the denials. He added that he was aware of the money but had been told that "all spending approvals and all reporting were being handled by a committee in Washington."
"I wish to assure everyone that I have done nothing wrong," he said in his last known public statement.
In Washington, Rep. Bob Wilson (R., Calif.), who was chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee in 1971 and a friend of Mills, said that he asked Mills if he was telling the truth in denying the reports.
Mills said that he was, and Wilson said he told him, "Then you don't have anything to worry about."
Morton said that he arranged for the Nixon Finance Committee to provide the money to Mills' campaign, but that he had never discussed the contribution with the congressman.
Hugh W. Sloan, former treasurer of the Nixon campaign organization, has told Congressional auditors that the $25,000 was part of $1.7 million which was secretly raised and disbursed before the Federal Election Campaign Act went into effect April 7, 1972.
After the special election in 1971, Mills signed a notarized statement reporting a total of $9,395 "received by me or by any person for me with my knowledge or consent, from any source."
SCIENTISTS... I wrote to Warren Smith, Brad Steiger, Otto Binder, Al Bailey and George Delevan, last week... that murders-to-look-like-suicide would soon begin to happen amid the Watergate Gang. It only took two days until after my letter... till Mills' "apparent suicide". That... is one. There will be more. Especially in great danger are the key figures talking to Sen. Ervin, plus Martha Mitchell and her hubby. And McCord, Dean and CIA Helms... hed better watch out, or they'll be a "suicide" right quick. It would be interesting to conjecture how many Mafia/Syndicate "hit teams" are out right now... on these assignments!

Pilot Safely Escapes
Plane Before Crash

Mid-Cities Bureau

A Marine fighter pilot ejected safely from his F8 Crusader Tuesday moments before the craft crashed into a wildlife preserve near Mountain Creek Lake just south of the Dallas Naval Air Station.

A Marine Corps spokesman identified the pilot as Capt. Eric L. Rooth, 30, of Bay City, Matagorda County, assigned to the 112th Marine Reserve Fighter Attack Squadron based at the air station.

Rooth was rescued moments after he bailed out by an LTV Aerospace Corp. helicopter and was taken to the air station hospital, where he was reported uninjured.

The LTV-built jet fighter crashed into the unpopulated Mountain Creek Lake Wildlife Preserve east of the lake.

Marine Corps and federal investigators were called to the scene to determine the cause of the crash.

Gunnery Sergeant Jerry Simmons, public affairs chief, said Rooth was concluding a routine training flight at 4 p.m. when he ejected from the craft for unknown reasons.

Simmons said Rooth's ejection seat and parachute were found in a wooded area about 200 yards behind the crash site.

The aircraft plowed a 3-foot-deep hole at the point of impact and slid another 150 feet before coming to rest.

Dallas firemen reported small fires in the fuselage section and the cockpit section, which broke away from the main body of the plane and lodged against a tree 50 feet away.

Marines on the scene said the plane apparently was intact when Rooth ejected. They estimated the pilot was flying at an altitude of 300 to 400 feet at the time. The plane reportedly was flying directly over some power lines at the moment of ejection.

Impending Disaster on 4 Continents

London

Many of the world's un-derdeveloped countries spread throughout four continents are facing ser-ious food shortages caused by an unprecedented ser-ies of droughts.

Most of the World's more extreme climatic zones face droughts - and occasionally flooding - from time to time.

But this year freak weath-er conditions have coincided in widely separated parts of the globe, ruining already inadequate agriculture and stretching relief reserves to the limit.

Millions of people are going hungry as a result of droughts in Central Ameri-ca, Asia, and Africa. Even Cyprus, in the Medi-terranean, is experiencing its lowest rainfall for 80 years and the winter grain crop has failed almost com-pletely.

This comes after food pro-duction per head fell for the second successive year in the developing regions of the world. Production of food rose by one percent in 1972, but the population rose by four per cent.

HOTTEST

This means that in many countries - with the hottest summer months still to come - there is simply not enough food to go around.

In India one of the worst droughts in years has so far affected about 200 million people - slightly less than the entire population of the U.S.

The government has had to rush grain by special trains to relieve the situa-tion in the western state of Maharashtra where at least six people have been killed in recent food riots.

Reserve stocks of grain built up in years of good harvests are virtually ex-hausted, and the outlook for the summer months is grim.

DROPS

In the neighboring Hima-layan Kingdom of Nepal, British Royal Air Force transports have dropped nearly 2000 tons of food into famine-hit areas which have had two bad crop years.

The Nepalese government has described the situation in some parts as "the great-est food crisis we have had in our whole history."

India's southern neighbor Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, rarely suffers from the crip-pling droughts which plague India, but nevertheless was hit by the failure of last year's spring monsoon.

RECOVER

Further to the east, Indo-nesia is only just beginning to recover from the effects of a drought which persisted through the last six months of last year.

Indonesia was forced to import some 1.3 million tons of rice in 1972, but estimates for current production are optimistic.

The effects of even one bad harvest can be disas-trous; seed stocks are de-pleted, food reserves run down, and farm animals are often left to die when famine forces humans to compete for the same food and water supplies.

Drought does not avoid the scene of previous natural disasters. In the Central American republic of Nica-ragua, struggling to over-come an earthquake which devastated its capital last December, the water short-age is critical.

Central America's worst drought in 30 years has caused total crop damage estimated at $100 million, and has provoked a state of emergency in Costa Rica and Honduras.

IMPORT

All the members of the Central American common market - Costa Rica, Gua-temala, El Salvador, Nica-ragua, and Honduras - face large import bills for food to replace ruined domestic sup-plies.

But Guatemalan weather-men say the worst may be over. The first rains of the season are beginning to fall in Guatemala and El Salva-dor.

The largest area hit by this year's rash of world-wide droughts is a 2000-mile strip of West African territo-ry south of the Sahara des-ert, and unlike other areas, there is no prospect of immi-nent relief.

From the Atlantic coast of Mauritania to the barren wastes of Chad in the center of the continent, no rain at all has fallen this year.

The drought is also crip-pling much of Senegal, Mali, Upper Volta, Niger and parts of northern Nigeria, disrupting the livelihood of more than 25 million people.

Crops are one-third of what they have been in the past, and hundreds of thou-sands of cattle and sheep are dying of thirst.

International aid has so far been out of step with the extent of the catastrophe, and the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organiza-tion (FAO) estimates the crisis will continue for an-other five months.

In northern Ethiopia, on the other side of Africa, riv-ers and ponds are dry and hundreds of cattle are dying because of the drought which has prevailed there since Christmas.

As in many other coun-tries, the chronic shortage of grain in parts of Ethiopia has led to hoarding, which in turn leads to soaring prices, and increases the plight of the poorest.

Scientists agree that the droughts and freakish weath-er over many parts of the world may signal global changes in climate and some experts are even won-dering if another Ice Age is on its way.

rays back into space.

Some American research-ers have noted that in the five-year period the mean temperature of the atmo-sphere in the northern hem-isphere fell by more than half a degree centigrade, but were careful to say that this was likely to be a short-term fluctuation.

Some Soviet meteorolo-gists maintain that the cli-mate of Northern Europe, Asia and America will get "markedly warmer" by the year 2000 and link this with the known recession of the polar ice.

Whatever the long-term implications of the present widespread droughts, the problem of those countries affected - which by a cruel accident of fate are for the most part "underdeveloped" - is present and immediate.

The American Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug, who started the "green revolution" with his new strains of high-yielding cereals, has called for a world food bank to be set up to solve the problem.

Dr. Addeke Boerma, director of the FAO, showed how far the world is from achieving this when he told the Paris newspaper Le Monde recently: "The world's present stocks of cereals amount to only 30 million tons, their lowest level since 1952. But since 1952 the world's population has increased by half. The present reserves are only equivalent to what the Unit-ed States consumes in seven weeks."
