2 -A THE TENNESSEAN, Sunday. March 10. 1974 Burn to Death CTvT In 1-75 Pileup Of 16 Vehicles i-- our own fine MERVILLE LINGERIE AND FOUNDATIONS! AP Wlrephoto Partisan Applause NEW YORK Tricia Nixon Cox applauds during the awards luncheon of the Women's National Republican Club that she attended yesterday, along with Vice President Cerald Ford at the Waldorf-Astoria. Ford received the club's annual "Distinguished Political Service Award" along with California Cov. Ronald Reagan.

Mrs. Cox accepted the club's "Republican Woman of the Year" award for her sister, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, who is recovering from an operation. Evidence Holdback Proving Three persons burned to death yesterday after they were trapped in their vehicles during a flaming chain- reaction pileup of 16 automobiles and trucks on I- 75, near Charleston, Tenn. Two persons were killed and another seriously injured yesterday afternoon in separate accidents in Robertson and Rutherford counties, bringing to 15 the number of persons killed on Tennessee's highways this weekend. TWO OCCUPANTS of an gasoline tanker truck died when the rig crashed into a bridge abutment on 1-40 near Jackson and burst into flames.

The East Tennessee pileup occurred between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. in the fog-shrouded northbound lane of 1-75 near the Hiwassee River when a tractor-trailer slammed into the rear of a car slowly groping its way in the fog, the Tennessee Highway Patrol said. A spokesman for Bradley County Hospital identified two of the victims as Mrs. Doris Calhoun, 44, of Uniontown, Ohio, and Isaac Chappell.Jr., 21, of Cleveland, Ohio.

The other victim remained unidentified last night. THREE OTHER persons were admitted to hospitals with burns or injuries, and seven were treated and released, said the spokesman, adding: "It's been a nightmare." "There was just a super fog, we couldn't see anything," said Eli Morocco, a young Ann Arbor, man. "We slowed down quite a bit, then all of a sudden the car in front of us put on his brakes and we stopped just short of it. "But a semi just crashed I into the back of us. We went 1 under the car in front of us and that guy went into the semi in front of him.

There was a fire in a big van two cars in front of us and it started catching the car in front of us. There were two people in the car but we Delicate Constitution Question 1) A. CRISS- CROSS BRA: Contour, low-cut to plunge. Whit only; sizes 32-36A, 32-38B 2.99. B.

Any failure of Nixon to provide evidence, let alone resist a subpoena for it, would drastically weaken his support in the House. It would, in fact, provide the committee with grounds for his impeachment. Both John Doar, the committee's special counsel, and Albert Jenner, the chief minority counsel, told the committee last week that contempt of Congress is an impeachable offense. THESE REALITIES were apparent last week when Nixon agreed to give the committee 700 documents and 19 tapes.

The committee decided not to issue a subpoena for six tapes it asked for that were not included in Nixon's offer. out a bill giving the federal courts one-time power- to enforce its subpoena while retaining the right of prosecution for itself. But that would require the full legislative process passage by the House and Senate and the signature of Richard Nixon to put it into effect. The White House would thus appear to have the power to resist an encroachment by Congress, but Nixon is hardly in a position to use it. He is, after all, the subject of the impeachment inquiry.

ALTHOUGH IT is doubtful that a majority of the House now favors impeachment, there is no doubt that an overwhelming majority, including most Republicans, favors full disclosure by Nixon of any information By JOHN BECKLER WASHINGTON (AP) A House Judiciary Committee convinced of its right to evidence for its impeachment inquiry and a President determined to protect his office are often said to be on a collision course. But are they? FOR ALL OF the bold talk from the committee last week about issuing a subpoena for White House tapes, and President Nixon's repeated insistence that he will do nothing to weaken the office of the presidency, certain practicalities diminish the lik-lihood of a confrontation. Both sides realize that a demand made by the committee backed by the full authority C. YOUTH BRA: Contour low cups to accentuate a young bustline; white only; 32-36A, 32-38B-C 2.99 D.

Also detering hasty commit- tee action is this realization: 1 It is one thing to issue a subpoena and it is quite some- 1 thing else to enforce it. i UNDER NORMAL congres- sionar procedures, a person resisting a subpoena would be cited for contempt of Con- gress, with the citation being sent to the Department of Justice for processing through the courts. But impeachment is not a normal congressional AP News Analysis managed to get one of them out." JAMES MOSES, a truck driver from Tampa, said the visibility at the time his truck hit the pileup was less than 10 feet. "The cars were already on fire when I hit," Moses said. Involved in the wreck were nine cars, six tractor trailer rigs and one van.

At one point, all except three cars were burning, witnesses said. In the accident near Jackson, the Highway Patrol said the flash of the explosion was seen for more than five miles and the tanker burned over an hour. The truck belonged to Fleet Transport of Nashville. One of the victims was tentatively identified as Houstin Broadnax of Memphis. The second victim, a woman, had not been identified, troopers said.

ALSO KILLED yesterday was Samuel Ray Lively, 18, of Soddy Daisy, who died in the collision of his car and a tractor-trailer truck on U.S. 27. Berry Whitehead, 16, of Carter County, died yesterday morning when the stolen car in which he was riding struck a tree on Tiger Creek Road, eight miles east of Hampton, Tenn. officers said. Police were pursuing the car at high speeds when the accident occurred.

Anita Neal, 13, was killed last night when she ran into the path of a car near her Memphis home. E. STRETCH BIKINIS: One size fits all white, pastels, red and black $1 pr. F. STRETCH GARTER PANTY: Helenca stretch nylon in white; one size fits 4 to 8 1.59 pr.

The Constitution gives the House the sole power of impeachment and the Judiciary Committee, as the House's agent in this proceeding, interprets that to mean it has the full power of the Constitution behind its subpoena. To ask the court to enforce its subpoena would be to admit its power is something less than the Constitution seems to say, and the committee is not about to do that. BUT THE only alternative immediately available is to dispatch the House sergeant-at-arms to the White House to arrest Nixon and take him off to jail, an unlikely event.
