OUR OPINION
Responsibility And Rights
Among the legal rights Texas' 18 year-olds recently received
is the right to sign legally binding contracts
Although this right received less publicity than some others,
it seriously affects older teens Those in the 18-21 year-old
age groups will face increased pressure to buy items on
installment or time-payment plans
College seniors have long been subjected to strong sales
pitches for pots and pans, sliver, china, life insurance and
other trappings of 'adult life.' Now the pressure shifts to un-
derclassmen and high school seniors
Before Aug 27, when someone under 21 signed a contract
to purchase an item, the contract wasn’t legally enforceable
Now, 18-year-olds will be held responsible as adults
Just a word or two of advice Always read, and understand,
a contract before signing it. If something isn't clear, ask to
have it explained further Know the total cost of an item, in-
cluding credit, annual percentage rate and dollar cost De-
termine penalty charges for late payments and whether re-
possession for nonpayment is a possibility Never sign a con-
tract with blank spaces, or one filled out in pencil
Before signing any contract, consider how much money you
have, as well as how much is spent for other things on a
regular basis Be sure some is left over for emergencies.
In contracts, as in voting and other majority, age privileges,
legal rights carry responsibilities.

What I actually said was:

Rebozo and White House
In Hughes Double-Cross
by Jack Anderson
'Copyright. l*7J, by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)
WASHINGTON - Not long
after Bebe Rebozo took a
$100,000 cash gift intended
for President Nixon from in-
dustrialist Howard Hughes,
the President’s friend joined
in a White House plot to link
Hughes to the Democrats.
This amazing double-cross
is revealed in confidential
White House memos, which
we have uncovered in the
course of investigating
Rebozo's role as a money
raiser for the President.
The memos show that in
January 1971, White House
staff chief H. R. Haldeman
sought to plant stories in the
press tying the eccentric
Hughes to Democratic na-
tional chairman Larry
O'Brien.
This was only a few months
after Rebozo had received
the last of two $50,000 install-
ments, paid in $100 bills,
from a Hughes aide. Yet
Rebozo apparently had no
hesitation to help expose the
financial ties between the
phantom billionaire and the
Democrats.
Aware of Dealings
Rebozo was careful to re-
quest, however, that he be
kept informed “if any action
be taken with regard to
Hughes” because of “his own
dealings with the Hughes
people.”
Both Haldeman and Dean,
therefore, knew of Rebozo’s
dealings with Hughes,
although the memos don’t,
make clear whether they
were aware the billionaire
had slipped Rebozo $100,000
for the President.
Haldeman decided,
nevertheless, to go ahead
with the plot even if it meant
“embarrassing” Hughes.
Haldeman instructed Dean,
however, to keep “Bebe out of
it at all posts.”
Haldeman asked White
House counsel John Dean in a
memo, dated January 18,
1971, to begin “an inquiry into
the relationship between Lar-
ry O’Brien and Howard
Hughes."
Dean reported back his
"preliminary findings” on
January 26. 1971. Among
others. Dean spoke to Rebozo.
Bebe’s Information
“I discussed the matter
with Bebe Rebozo who indi-
cated that his information
regarding (a retainer paid by
Hughes to O’Brien) had come
from Robert Maheu, the re-
cently released head of
Hughes’ Nevada operation,”
reported Dean.
“Bebe said that this infor-
mation had come to his atten-
tion at a time when Maheu
was professing considerable
friendliness towards the Ad-
ministration, but that it was
not documented information.
Bebe indicated that he felt
that Maheu had possibly re-
tained O’Brifen for his ser-
vices without any direct
knowledge by Hughes him- -
self.
“Bebe is under the impres-
sion that 'Maheu had a good
bit of freedom with Hughes’
money when running the
Nevada operation. Bebe
further indicated that he felt
he could acquire some docu-
mentation of this fact if given
a -little time and that he
would proceed to try to get
any information he could.
“He also requested that if
any action be taken with
regard to Hughes that he be
notified because of his
familiarity with the delicacy
of the relationships as a
result of his own dealings
with the Hughes people.”
‘No Doubt’
Dean also reported that
Robert Bennett, son of Sen.
Wallace Bennett, R-Utah,
represented Hughes. “Ben-
nett informs me,” wrote
Dean, "that there is no doubt
about the fact that Larry
O'Brien was retained by
Howard Hughes and the con-
tract is still in existence....
Bennett also indicated that
he felt confident that if it was
necessary to document the
retainer with O’Brien that he
could get the (documents). ”
Two days after receiving
Dean’s report, Haldeman
sent him confidential in-
structions.
"You should continue to
keep in contact with Bob
Bennett, as well as looking
for other sources of informa-
tion on this subject,” Halde-
man directed. “Once Bennett

gets back to you with his final
report, you and Chuck Colson
should get together and come
up with a way to leak the ap-
propriate information
"Frankly, I can’t see any
way to handle this without in-
volving Hughes.... The prob-
lem of ‘embarrassing’ him
seems to be a matter of
degree. However, we should
keep Bob Bennett and Bebe
out of it at all costs....”
Anderson Column
As it happened, we were
the recipients of the White
House leak. We reported on
August 6, 1971, that “Hughes’
lieutenants offered to subsid-,
ize Larry O’Brien so he could
serve without pay as Demo-
cratic national chairman
during the 1968 campaign.”
We quoted O’Brien who
acknowledged he had been
“sounded out by Maheu in
1968” but insisted he “never
drew a dime from the Hughes
interests during the cam-
paign.” Several months later,
we reported, O’Brien was re-
tained by Hughes.
We have spoken to O’Brien
again for an updated com-
ment. “If they’d wanted to
know about my relationship
to Hughes,’’ he said, “they
could have looked at the
public record.... If they didn’t
want to look at the public
record, they1 could have saved
themselves the trouble by
simply calling me on the
telephone.”
O’Brien said his fee was “a
personal matter between me
and my clients.” But in a let-
ter to Maheu, dated August
21,1968, O’Brien said his "an-
nual fee would be $180,000,
payable in monthly install-
ments.”
Haldeman told us through
his lawyer that he remembers
the exchange of memos but
doesn’t remember the out-
come. Dean and Rebozo
refused to comment.

LIBRA
(Sept. 24 to Oct 23) A&A
Without realizing it, you may
be a victim of your own fears
and misgivings. Pull yourself
together. This is a day which
calls for clear thought,
definitive action—AND self-
confidence.
SCORPIO m ufr

procedures. Don’t attempt
anything risky now. And DON’T
try for the unreasonable.
CAPRICORN VfLjf
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) u
You may have a tendency to
be too impressionable now.
Avoid becoming involved in
ticklish situations into which
you could be trapped—and
which could cause trouble later.
AQUARIUS

Now you have a chance to
display your showmanship;
also your gift for being able to
come up with a switch in tactics
that changes the humdrum into
the lively.
PISCES
(Feb. 20 to Mar. 20)
Stimulating influences foster
inventiveness and creativity
generally. An excellent period
in which to try out new devices
and methods, to capitalize on
unique ideas.
YOU BORN TODAY are
endowed with a fine intellect, a
lively imagination and a
dynamic personality. Your
ability to drive through, over
and beyond obstacles is
responsible for fifty per cent of
your success. You are a careful
and meticulous researcher, and
science is your great forte. You
may choose chemistry or
medicine as a career, and would
make a fine diagnostician. You
can also write brilliantly and,
when your mystical side is to
the fore, may express yourself
beautifully in poetry or music.

“They don't worry about
getting a pay check or about
getting laid off.
"But I may receive about S
percent of my mail input from
them."
Throughout the past 1900
years, clergymen have often
"slanted” Christ’s recom-
mendations about the poor and
sick.
Yet Jesus distinguished
between the "shiftless" poor
versus the “ambitious" poor!
Most of us Americans are the
offspring of immigrants who
came to America within the last
300 years to climb out of
European poverty and dic-
tatorships.
Thus, the Irish, and Germans,
Italians and Greeks, Poles and
all the rest, merely craved a
chance to “earn” a good living!
They wanted what Woodrow
Wilson so aptly espoused when
he said:
“All any American should
desire is a free field and no
favors.”
But the welfare doctrine has
sneaked into politics as a means
of buying votes, especially in
our large cities.
Jesus didn’t indulge in in-
discriminate handouts of free
food or free medical attention!
He believed in “selective”
philanthropy and voluntary, not
coerced, charity, as the chur-
ahaa Iawu y hmm6w9 ■ ^ I
cnes nave long onnonsiriieQ
He offered his crowd a free
picnic when He fed the 5,009, but
He didn't continue doing so.
For Christ never went around
Judea passing out free food
stamps!
He indulged in a "socialized
medical experiment" when He
healed the 10 lepers.
But there were thousands of
other lepers, cancerous,
feverish and blind, deaf and
'diseased folks within the very
sound of Christ's voice, but He
didn’t even try to heal them!
Why?
Because they apparently
lacked the faith, plus the am-
bition, to come to Him to seek
aid!
Jesus thus didn’t make
medical house calls on the
shiftless poor, for He let them
remain sick and diseased (as
well as starving) if they were
indolent!
“God helps those.” ran our
pioneer adage, “who help
themselves," which was ap-
parently Christ’s motto, too.
Nowadays, Uncle Sam
literally threatens all wage
earners with a prison term if
they don’t contribute of their
forced taxes to all the indolent,
for you are imprisoned if you
renege on your taxes!
That’s not Christian charity
at all, but forced political vote
buying under threat of a jail
sentence!
"The gift without the giver is
bare,” and most taxpayers
don’t like this boondoggling
with their coerced taxes to buy
the city votes of the illiterate
indigent.
So send for my booklet "How
to Save Our Republic,” en-
closing a long stamped, return
envelope, plus 25 cents.
