Suggestion To Destroy Tape Was Rejected By Nixon

Pres-

WASHINGTON (AP^

'dent Nixon rejected suggestions from his staff that he detroy any White House tapes hat might prove politically and historically embarrassing, the f ox Newspapers Washington

Bureau teported todav.

The story quoted a July 25, 1973. memorandum to the President from speechwriter Patrick J. Buchanan who asked, "if there are conversations with confidential aides, such as

. vwui.uciiiiai <jiucs. suen as Ctlarles Colson or (H R > Bob Haldeman (exclusive of the so-

laldeman (exclusive of the socalled Watergate tapes! that are better left confidential forever —what then is the sense of

t-heii preservation?

‘Perhaps the President should be provided with a dav-

by-day log ot his tape library, and himself separate the wheat from the chaff--from his own recollection—and have the latter burned ” Buchanan wrote his memo nine days after Alexander P Butterfield, a former White House aide, had disclosed in testimony before the Senate Watergate committee that presidential conversations routinely were taped. Ihe story, written by David Kraslow and Eugene V Risher. quoted a ranking official as saying Nixon rejected the advice on the grounds "it would be wrong ethically, politically, legally. In fact, the meie act of destroying the tapes might hav been considered by many

people enough to warrant impeachment.” The source also said, “For one thing, we knew there were a number of people around here who would not have stayed if that had happened. Those tapes could be evidence in an investigation already under way. The President understood that We all understood that.” Buchanan was quoted as saying in an interview that he was not advocating the destruction of any tapes that might be considered evidence in criminal proceedings. In his memorandum. Buchanan said the taped conversations “can both confirm the President’s place in history, and in

the hands of an unscrupulous or malevolent or hostile critic— besmirch the President’s name badly." Buchatidu also advocated mounting an attack on special W'atergate prosecutor Archibald Cox as “a known Nixon hater" in order to constrict the focus of his office “to the assignment they were brought in to perf o r m—investigate Watergate and campaign abuses, prosecute and depart.” If all else failed, Buchanan recommended “the outright firing of Cox, giving as the reason, his issuance of subpoenas against the President of the United States ” Nixon did fire Cox on Oct. 20, 1973.

Sen. Morse Dies At Age Of 73

PORTLAND Ore. (AP> Former U.S. Sen. Wayne Morse, one of the first critics of U.S. involvement in Vietnam and a fierce independent whose convictions were respecter} by friend and foe alike, is dead at 73. Morse, hos'pitalized last Wednesday with a urinary tract infection, slipped into a coma early Monday and died of heart and kidney failure. Jim Miller, a spokesman for

Good Samaritan Hospital, said Morse’s family had decided against the use of a kidney dialysis machine to prolong his life. “Some time ago. he made it clear that if he was ever at the end of the line, he didn’t want some kind of machine,” said Miller. “Philosophically, this wasn't something he would condone.” Funeral arrangements were pending but were expected to

Not To Seek Re-Election

MIAMI Fla. (AP> - Sen. Edward Gurney, R-Fla., indicted by a federal giand juiv in connection with an influence peddling scheme, said Tuesday he has deeded not to seek re-elec-tion. “There is no sensible or sound way to conduct a statewide political race and prepare lor, and go through a major trial," Gurney said in a written statement telephoned to Miami by his Washington office. Gurney, 60. was indicted July '0 in Jacksonville by a tede 1

grand jury which accused of conspiracy, bribery and

him per-

jury in an influence peddling

case.

The Winter Park Republican, a member of the Senate Watc - gate committee, has pleaded in nocent to the charges “I am innocent of any wrongdoing and the first priority is to clear mv good name After that is done I will decide whether or not to resume a career in politics and government,” Gurneys statement

said.

Bv The Associated Press The Greek Cypriot who took over the Cyprus presidency from the ousted Archbishop Makarios resigned today and a prominent figure in the old regime was named to replace him, Cyprus radio said. The move was seen as an attempt to reach a peace accord with Turkey. The British reported a new outbreak of fighting on Turkey’s invasion beachhead in northern Cyprus near Kyrenia despite a cease-fire agreement accepted by all sides. Shortly before these developments, Turkey’s deputy prime minister, Necmettin Erhankan. renewed an old Turkish demand for partition of the Mediterranean island between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. Named to take over the Cypriot presidency was Glafocs Clerides, who was speaker of rht House of Representatives before Makarios was overthrown July 15 in a coup by the national guard under the leadership oi regular Greek armyoff ice is. The Cypius radio broadcast Na id Clerides already had been sworn into office Clendc-. a lawyer, headed mtercommunal talks with the l urks under Makarios. Nikos Sampson, who took over from Makarios alter the national guard seized power and precipitated f utkey's invasion last Saturday, said in an address over the Cyprus ladio that CTei ides, because of his experience, is beitei equipped to lead the nation. Sampson added that he was stepping down with a clear conscience. He maintained that his actions since the coup had been

motivated by a desire to avoid civil war between the Turkish and Greek communities which share the island 45 miles from Turkey in the Mediterranean. The fighting report came from the British Defense Ministry which said in London that the battle action was taking place as a Royal Navy task force was evacuating stranded Britons and other foreigners from the northern coast. The ministry^ said the evacuation of about 2,500 foreigners was continuing without too much difficultv because the fighting was about six miles from the evacuation point. The Defense Ministry said it had no details of the battle action. The United Nations in New York said troops of its peace force on Cyprus took over the aiiport at Nicosia, the Cypriot capital, because of new fighting there. A U.N. headquarters spokesman said no details of the Nicosia fighting were available to him but that he described it as“a new and serious breach of the cease-fire.” The cease-fire had been called for 10 a. m., EDf. Monday but fighting continued for several hours after that deadline Then about six hours later. the U.N. command on Cyprus reported all quiet on the island and that the cease-fire appeared to be holding. Farliei today. Associated Press correspondent Frank N. Hawkins Jr. reported from Nicosia that sporadic fighting broke out along the so-called Green 1 me separating the Greek and I urkish communities but that in general the ceav fire had been honored by both sides
