Two Nixon Indispensable; War Power Limit

WASHING I ON (AP) For- Sens. Frank Church, IF Idaho,

WASHINGTON (AP) Harry Robbins Huldeman and John Daniel Ehrlichman share an ample supply of critics- and a boss who considers both ol them nearly indispensable. The boss is President Nixon, so the critics don't count for much at the White House. No strangers to controversy. Huldeman and Ehrlichman also share with Henry A. Kissinger the distinction of being Nixon’s most powerful assistants. Charter members of what some have called the “German Mafia," they regulate the flow of people, papers and proposals

reaching the President’s office. Huldeman—everyone calls him Bob—is chief of the White House staff, keeper of the gates and Nixon's nay-sayer. Ehrlichman has likened him to a lord chamberlain. Soon after the President took his oath in 1969, Haldeman’s office became known to critics as the “Berlin wall’’—because members of the Cabinet and Congress found it blocking the path to Nixon's door. More recently. Republican Sen. Lowell Weicker of Connecticut suggested Huldeman had advance knowledge of pol-

icies and personalities behind the Watergate conspiracy and should resign. The bipartisan leaders of the Senate select committee investigating campaign misdeeds stated publicly they had no evidence Huldeman was involved. Huldeman added a firm denial of his own. Ehrlichman is the President’s domestic policy assistant and, like Huldeman, he has been judged too *il oof and inaccessible by some administration officials as well as senators and congressmen. The two men, close friends since college days at UCLA.

Sunday Liquor Sales Passed

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Gov. Otis R. Bowen yesterday allowed the Sunday liquor sales bill to become law without his signature. The governor’s action ended speculation he might use the measure, designed largely for Indianapolis restaurants and convention centers, as leverage to revive his tax program. Bowen could have waited until Saturday to announce his decision. But he decided to send the unsigned measure to the secretary of state yesterday, ahead of tomorrow’s reconvening of the general assembly after a five-day recess. The governor had said he would permit the Sunday liquor proposal to become law it it was restrictive in nature, and essentially was confined to its backers' avowed purpose of

stimulating convention business in the state. The special Sunday liquor licenses, limited to sales by the drink, can be issued only to establisments which did S 100.000 or more business last year, half of it in food. The effective date of the law is May 1, making May 6 the first Sunday there could be any stiles. The governor also permitted two other bills to become law without his signature one the “men’s liberation" measure permitting married men to sell real estate as though they were single and one enlarging the state Board of Animal Health from seven to nine members. Bowen signed 22 more bills yesterday morning, including one under which vacancies in the general assembly will be tilled by

vote of precinct committeemen and vice committeemen, trom the party of the legislator who had held the post, in the vacant district. Another new law will change the number of days in which to file declaration of candidacy prior to primary elections from a minimum of 40 days and a maximum of 70 to a minimum of 50 and maximum of 75. Other bills signed by the governor include measures setting up a special commission to establish single-member districts for Lake County commissioners. revive the New Harmony Memorial Commission, establish drug rehabilitation programs at the state boys' and girls' schools, and require the Public Service Commission to notify county officials of nilroad abandonments.

;ire Christian Scientists who neither smoke nor drink. As young men they were Eagle Scouts. Like Nixon, they display enameled American flags on their lapels and Haldeman even shares the President’s enthusiasm for cottage cheese lunches. Politically, Haldeman is a conservative generally regarded as standing somewhat to the right of Nixon. Ehrlichman is seen as more receptive to liberal thought. Both are intensely loyal to Nixon. Ehrlichman. when interviewed by author Allen Drury for his b»H)k ‘Courage and Hesitation." said: “Part of our job is never to confront the President with a situation in which he has to disappoint someone or take u harsh action. For that reason, we usually send memos to him for decision. He can then he perfectly free to turn ideas down without making his decisions personal." Haldeman also gave Drury testimony to Nixon’s dctachm c n t from argumentative hurly-burly, and to Haldcman’s own reputation for barring the presidential door. ‘Ehrlichman. Kissinger and I do our best to make sure that all points of view are placed before the President." he said. “We do act as a screen, because there is a real danger of some advocate of an idea rushing in to the President or some other decision-maker, if the person is allowed to do so. and actually managing to convince them in a burst of emotion or argument. We try to make sure that all arguments are presented calmly and fairly across the board." In pre-election days. Haldeman made no secret of a conviction that the original builders of Washington wisely placed the White House and the Capitol at opposite ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. “I • don't think." he said. “Congress is supposed to work with the While House ... There is a clcarcut division of power which was intentional, and I think that a certain amount of distance is healthv."

Since November, Haldeman and Ehrlichman have been more accessible to Congress members, especially Republicans who argued they fared poorly in the election because of White House preoccupation with fashioning a Nixon landslide. Consultation and cooperation now are oft-used words and the President himself has found it desirable to expand the list of those invited to periodic breakfast sessions with GOP congressional leaders. Haldeman. 46. married and the father of four, became a dedicated Nixon partisan more than 20 years ago, admiring his dogged pursuit of alleged Communist Alger Hiss. A volunteer whose responsibilities increased with each Nixon campaign starting in 1956, he enlisted Ehrlichman in the cause. Haldeman looks like a chief of staff, erect and tall, his thinning crewcut showing ample scalp. His sense of humor lends to be rather sardonic. He brought several proteges, among them press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler, to the Nixon staff from his position as vice president and Los Angeles manager of the .1. Walter Thompson advertising agency. Haldcman's most visible avocation is taking home movies of Nixon, which he shows to frends. Tennis, chess and the guitar also lay claim to his limited leisure time, along with such plays as “Godspell” and ’’Jesus Christ Superstar.” Cocktail parties are not for him. Ehrlichman is the more affable of the two but is no devotee of the Georgetown party circuit either. A World War II air corps navigator and former Seattle zoning attorney, he is 4K. stocky, round-faced and balding. He and his wife have five children. He and Haldeman have a zest for sunshine that keeps them tanned throughout much of the year as they follow their boss to Florida and Southern California. Ehrlichman thinks of himself as an attorney with a single client* Richard Nixon. His loyalty is unquestioned. So is Haldcman’s.

mer Atty. Gen. Nicholas dcB Katzenbach endorsed legislation to limit the war powers of the President. He expressed doubt however, that it would be effective in preventing another Vietnam-type involvement. ‘Of necessity,” he said, “the language is broad and the president who wishes to exploit its ambiguities has plenty of scope fi> do so.” Katzenbach was attorney general under the late President Lyndon B. Johnson. I he Foreign Relations committee session was one of the two Senate hearings opening today on legislation to limit presidential powers. A bill before the Senate Forc i g n Relations Committee would put a 30-day limit on presidential use of the armed forces abroad without congressional approval. leaders of a special Senate committee proposed a similar limitation on extraordinary presidential powers upon proclamation of a national emer-

gency.

and Charles McC. Mathias, RMd., said staff research for their special committee on Termination of the National Emergency discloses that the United States has been in a continuous state ol emergency for 40 years with at least 5X0 laws giving the president extra powers during such an emergency. Church and Mathias said under some ol those powers the president may “seize properties, mobilize production, seize commodities, institute martial law, seize control of all transportation and communications, regulate private capital, restrict travel, and. in a host of particular ways, control the activities of all American citizens." The special committee was established to determine what would be involved in terminating the emergency proclaimed by President Harry S Iruman on Dec. 16. 1950. at the outbreak of the Korean War.

Corps Claims Credit For Flood Limitation

WASHINGTON (AP) The chief of the Army Corps of Engineers said yesterday more than three times as much land would be under water if the Corps had not built Hood control projects along the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Gen. Frederick J. Clarke testified before the Senate public works subcommittee, which is looking into the current flooding on the Mississippi River and in the midwest. Clarke said 7.300.(MK) acres in seven states have been Hooded so far this year. He said the Corps estimated damages at SI50 million. The Corps estimates an additional 17 million acres would have been flooded had not protective levees and dams been built. The total cost would have

been S2.5 billion. Clarke testified that there had been no serious flooding in New Orleans or Baton Rouge, La., because of work done by the Corps. He said no Corps project had failed to do its job. but said some privately built levees had failed and caused flooding. Despite the criticism ol Hood victims and the contention by environmental groups that the Hooding is. caused partially because ol stream channelization work done by the Corps and other federal agencies. no member of the subcommittee criticized the Corps yesterday. Not onlv did chairman Jennings Randolph. D-W.Va.. commend the Corps, he called on representatives ol other senators who were in the audience to also praise the Corps work.

economic emergency declared March 9, 1933. to give President f ranklin I). Roosevelt authority to close the banks and take other extraordinary steps to end the depression. Church and Mathias, in a joint statement, said it is not enough to declare the Great Depression and the Korean hostilities over, because the president at any time can proclaim another emergency. A review is needed ol all the statutes conferring additional powers in time ol emergency, repealing those outdated, saving those that need to he permanent law, and recasting others with a built-in termination deadline, they said. They suggested legislation to limit presidential emergency powers to only .30 davs without congressional approval. I hey also proposed that a state ol national emergency should not extend longer than six months without review and reinstatement lot another six months b\

COFFEE RESISTS UNIFORMITY WHIPPANY. N.J (AP) - Varying coffee-drinking habits around the world dictate variations in automatic vending machines which dispense the drink, according to Earl C. Ramsey, president of Rowe International. which manufactures such machines. Those made for the Japanese market, for example, have to produce coffee that is two and a half times sweeter than the accepted American standard For the Swedish market, the coffee machine must turn out a cup twice as strong as ours. Machines made for some South American countries must have coin slots that are easily adjusted for frequent inflationary price changes And there are problems right in the United States Women, more and more of whom are being hired to service machines. don't like to bend over, says Ramsey, so the company has designed its new machines to make it unnecessary to bend over to service them

Barry Fears ’74 Will Be Disaster

BOSTON (AP) — Sen. Bit try Goldwater says Republican candidates will lose all over the country next year and the GOP will be out of the White House in 1976 unless President Nixon acts now to clear up the Watergate case. Further, the Arizona Republican said in an interview published by the Christian' Science Monitor, the damage done to Nixon's image by the case is drying up financial contributions to the GOP. Goldwater said that when he urged Nixon to speak out on the situation, he was told by the President, “I've already done something." The senator said he was later told Nixon’s staff

would testify before a grand jury, “which I don't think is enough.” “All of us who support Nixon are going to be on the line in the 1974 election," Goldwater said. He added that he might not support the President if he found out Nixon had known of the hugging of Democrat haidquarters in Washington but remained silent. Concerning contributions to the GOP. the senator said he has received ‘letters and calls from Republican friends of mine all around the country, and they are saying ‘no more money to the Republican National Committee' until this (Watergate) is cleared up."
