NZPA-AP Washington The President of the United States, Mr Ronald Reagan, had reluctantly agreed to relieve the space agency’s administrator, James Beggs, of his duties pending disposition of charges that he had defrauded the Government while an official of General Dynamics Corporation, the White House said yesterday.

It was not immediately clear whether Mr Beggs would continue to be paid pending trial on the felony indictment that was announced on Tuesday.
