POLICE SAID the pair struggled with the assailant in the bedroom, whom the woman identified as her 28- year-old former boyfriend.

Gary Harris, 18, of 908 Haynes and Eddie Lee Williams, 19, of 370 W. Bartges are being held in jail under $50,000 bond each. Judge Donald McFadden observed that testimony of witnesses raised the question of the identity of the two suspects as the ones involved in the shooting. "It (the identification) would not meet the test for proper identification if this case were on trial today," McFadden said, but he added that the testimony did meet the "function of this court to find probably cause" that the crime was committed. Little was shot in the arm as he was getting into his car in front of 773 Kling st.

Police said he identified the two suspects, who were arrested a short time after the alleged shooting, from a stretcher at the scene of the shooting.

Nixon Tax Aides In Investigated ted From Beacon Journal Wire Services WASHINGTON The Internal Revenue Service is conducting a criminal fraud investigation into President Nixon's tax returns, the House impeachment inquiry was told Friday. The investigation, according to well-placed House Judiciary Committee sources, is focusing on the individuals who worked on Nixon's presidential tax returns. The prospect that Nixon would be cited personally in the case.

appeared unlikely since a already has decided to assess Nixon only a 5 pct. negligence penalty for underpaying his taxes for 1969-72 by $432,797. A central issue not only to the IRS investigation 'but also to the impeachment probe is whether Nixon knowlingly underpaid his taxes or whether, as the White House maintains, he was merely' following the advice of his tax lawyers. Nixon claimed nearly a half million dollars in tax deductions for his vice presidential papers under provisions of now-repealed law. Both the IRS and the Joint Congressional Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation disallowed the deduction without addressing the question of fraud.

ONE JUDICIARY Committee member, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N. said that it is "clear" that Nixon "signed a bunch of lies" when he signed his tax returns and that Nixon should be supened or at least sent written questions in an effort to find out whther he did so knowingly. The IRS disclosure came as the impeachment panel moved to conclude six weeks of closed-door hearings. A former Justice Department tax fraud expert told the committee that, if Nixon had been an ordinary citizen, his tax returns would have been referred to the Justice Department for further investigation and possible prosecution.

Reforms Sought In Food Stamps WASHINGTON (P-A striker still could get food stamps but the stamps would be banned for some college students if a House-passed money bill becomes law. The $13.4 billion agriculture, environmental and consumer protection appropriations bill would also cut back aid for South Vietnam and Cambodia under the Food for Peace program. THE CONTROVERSIAL legislation was sent to the Senate after passing the House 278 to 16 Friday night. The House voted three times last year for a ban on food stamps for strikers but the Senate later rejected the idea. Rep.

William Dickinson (R- Ala.) tried again Friday night, saying "the present policy of allowing food stamps to strikers is contrary to good business and common sense and should be abolished." The House rejected his amendment 169 to 147. LATER, by 195 to 123, the House approved an amendment by Rep. John B. Anderson (R-Ill.) designed to bar food stamps for any college student aged 18 or over who is claimed by his family as a dependent child for Federal income tax purposes. By a vote of 65 to 51, the House accepted an amendment by Rep.

James P. Johnson (R-Col.) which would set a $42.5 million ceiling per country on funds for Food for Peace program sales of surplus agricultural commodities under agreements involving foreign currencies and dollars on credit terms.
