Transcripts Conflict With Denials Of Involvement

By BROOKS JACKSOS Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP>-New-ly released Watergate transcripts conflict with some of Nixon's denials of involvement in the affair. The President, in releasing the three new transcripts on Monday, conceded that two of his earlier statements had been wrong. He said that in one case his memory had played tricks on him In another case he had

missed the importance of transcripts that show he tried to keep the FBI from investigating an important aspect of the Watergate break-in. Here are the major conflicts: MA Y2I STA TEMENT The President issued a lengthy written statement May 22, 1973, denying personal involvement in the Watergate cover-up. He conceded he had tried to limit the scope of the FBI’s investigation, but said he had instructed his aides — H

R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman — only to tell the FBI and Central Intelligence Agency to ensure that no secret CIA operation was uncovered. “It was certainly not my intent nor my wish, that the investigation of the Watergate break-in or of related acts be impeded in any way," the President had said. He said then that some others had later undertaken “wideranging efforts to limit the in vestigation,” but added, “I was not aware of any such efforts at the time.” The tapes show otherwise Six days after the Watergate break-in, the President was told that the FBI investigation was threatening to uncover a financial link between the burglars and his own re-election campaign committee, and that this would involve his chief fund raiser Maurice H Stans, and possibly his campaign director JohnN. Mitchell. He approved a plan to have the CIA tell the FBI to “stay

the hell out ol this." The only discussion of possible national security implications was a suggestion by Nixon tha? Haldeman and Ehrlichman tell the CIA that a full FBI investigation might embarrass the CIA because it had employed E Howard Hunt Jr., one of the burglars. In a statement Monday, the President said the May 22 statement was wrong “That statement was based on my recollection at the time — some 11 months later — plus documentary materials and relevant public testimony of those involved.” he said. A UGUST15 STA TEH ENT On Aug. 15, 1973, the President said he didn't know about the cover-up until White House counsel John W. Dean III told him about it on March 21, 1973 “Not only was I unaqare of any cover-up, but ... I was unaware there was anything to cover up," Nixon said. Actually, Nixon had been told more than a year earlier, with-

in a week of the Watergate break-in itself, that M'tcheH might have had some prior knowledge of the wiretapping, and that two former White House aides. Hunt and G Gordon Liddy, were involved Haldeman told him that Mitchell didn’t know details, but said Mitchell probably pressured I.iddy into commiting the burglaiy by demanding more inteiligence information about the Democrats. APRIL 29 STATEMENT When President Nixon released the first batch of edited transcripts a little more than three months ago, on April 29, he said: “These actions will at last, once and for all, show that what I knew and what I did with regard to the Watergate break-in and cover-up were just as I have described them to you from the very beginning. Actually, the facts were somev hat different from what Nixon had stated publicly, as he admitted Monday He said April 29, “The full re-

sources of the FBI and the Justice Department were used to investigate the (Watergate) incident thoroughly. I instructed my staff and campaign aides to cooperate fully with the investigation.” Aaccording to the new transcript, Nixon instructed his aides to tell the FBI, “Don’t go any further into this case, period!” Nixon sa'd April 29 that the transcripts he released then “will tell it all. Everything that is relevant is included," he said Actually, the highly relevant June 23 tapes were not included. Nixon said Monday that he found out that the June 23 tapes “presented potential problems” for him. but only a short time after the releasing of the First batch of transcripts He conceded that he had been wrong ?o withhold the June 23 tapes from the House Judiciary Committee and from his own lawyers “I did not realize the extent of the implications which

Hiroshima Revisile

HIROSHIMA Japan(AP> — The mayor of Hiroshima, the Japanese city whose name be came a synonym for nue'ear devastation 29 yects ago, demanded today that the world scrap its nue'ear arsenals and free mankind of “the awesome threat of suicidal min ” Mayor Sctsuo Yamada called on the nuclear powers by name, listing India along with the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, China and France. Yamada also demanded that Japan sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, which hinds nations without nuclear weapons not to develop them. India, which set off a nuclear device in May, is not a signatory. The mayor spoke at ceremonies in memory of the approximately 85,000 victims of the world’s first •stomic attack, in the waning days of World War II. The toll of the attack has continued to mount in the thiee decades since. The Atomic
