The White House quickly denied the report. Quoting White House sources, the newspaper also said Carter may seek to additionally penalize use of containers by imposing a tax on virgin glass and metal used in nonreturnable i containers. "Reports that the President is considering a tax on nonreturnable containers for inclusion in his environmental message are incorrect," the White House said in a statement. "No consideration is being given to any proposal for taxing disposable containers as part of the message." But the White House noted the Environmental Protection Agency has been looking into "economic intentive solutions" to waste disposal. "The only question under consideration on this matter for the President's message is whether to ask that the study be accelerated," the statement said Castro Pledges More Angola Aid - LISBON. Portugal (UPI) Cuban President Fidel Castro told thousands of cheering Angolans Sunday lie would keep sending tanks, planes and soldiers into their country and did not have to account to the United States for any of it. "Our duty is to maintain military collaboration while the Angolan forces are organized, trained and equipped," Castro said, according to reports reaching Lisbon today. "The day will come when Angola has sufficient military units, tanks, cannon, airplanes and soldiers to confront all imperialist aggression. "How many years, how many (Cuban) soldiers will stay in Angola? We don't have to discuss that with Yanqui' imperialists." The rally, held in Luanda's First of May Square, was described by the Angolan National News Agency as the highlight of the Cuban leader's trip. jJlfflF Nixon Tapes Due Top Court Ruling - WASHINGTON (UPI The Supreme Court today agreed to decide whether tapes of Richard Nixon's conversations, used to help convict his closest White House aides of Watergate olfenses. may be publicly distributed. The justices will hear arguments next fall or winter on the former president's objections to further publicizing of the recordings played to the jury during the 1974 trial. The issue will be decided later by written opinion. In the interim, in accordance with a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, arrangements have been in progress for mass marketing of the tapes pending conclusion of the lawsuit. U.S. District Judge John Sirica bar- red any distribution until the Watergate defendants had exhausted their appeals, since a reversal probably vvuuld mean a new trial before as unbiased a jury as could be obtained. But the appeals court took the view that this risk was not serious enough and noted that none of the defendants themselves had objected. The tapes were sought by the three major broadcast networks, the Public Broadcasting Service, the Radio Television News Directors Association and Warner Communications Inc., a record manufacturer. Also before the high court are appeals by White House Aides John Erhrlichman and H.R. Haldeman and former General John grand jury. Nixon contended his personal privacy was invaded by placing the tapes in private hands "to be played at cocktail parties and in satiric productions." But the appeals court said, "The embarrassment Mr. Nixon anticipates is PW JWlfflWr JfftttU$W jfagr Attorney on charges of donspiracy, obstruction of justice and lying to a Mitchell nggr Jmmmr apg4WW --Mimy- largely that which results whenever misconduct or questionable conduct is exposed."

Other conversations .remain confidential. Sirica was told the National Archives could distribute the tapes to the public for $3.75 to $4 per one-hocassette r reel or $5 to $5.75 per tape reel. The prices would include complete transcripts, packaging and mailing. one-hou- Treasure Search Hope Is Rekindled By Map, Weather WHITE SANDS, N.M.
