Nixon pardon

Second elements mixes with publicity to lengthen cover-up jury selection

WASHINGTON (API - It appears now that massive publicity is not the only matter stretching out the jury selection process for the Watergate cover-up trial. The Nixon pardon also seems to be a sticking point The sifting process was in its eighth day today, and U S Distrct Judge John J. Sirica has sent word that he doesn't expect it to be the last But an aide said at the dose of Wednesday's session that Sirica was "still hopeful about Friday — it looks good ” * A prosecutor's memorandum indicated some prospective jurors are bothered that five subordinates of Richard M Nixon are being prosecuted while the former president goes free. The five, including former White House aides HR. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman. are charged with trying to thwart the investigation of the Watergate break-in. The memorandum, filed with the judge, suggested changes in the last step of seating a jury

Police ordered to Boston

BOSTON (AP) - Gov. Francis W Sargent ordered 400 state and Metropolitan District policemen into Boston today to help local authorities quell racial violence that has increased since schools opened last month under a federal busing order The order came after a federal judge rejected Mayor Kevin H White's request for 125 federal marshals and told him to seek local aid Boston has been wracked by arrests and injuries in racial incident*! since Sept 12 when the busing order took effect

to avoid giving "the defense an unwarranted advantage in the selection of the panel." In the current stage, judge and lawyers are questioning jury prospects one-by-one to discern any biases that would stand in the way of a verdict based on trial evidence alone. The memorandum by Special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski spoke of a "pattern of responses to questions about th Nixon pardon" in the private questioning and said if usual procedures are followed there

would be "a possibility of unfairness to the government.” Once the judge and lawyers have settled on a minimum of 45 prospective jurors — plus an undetermined number extra — the “peremptory challenge” stage will begin. A clerk will seat 12 jury prospects in the order on which they appear on a list made up at random before the trial started Oct. 1. The defense then will be allowed to remove up to 15 people and the prosecution 6 — all without stating a cause. As each juror-candidate is struck.

another takes his place, still in the order on the list. Jaworski said in the memorandum he was worried that the defense might pass on its early challenges and then at the end have enough remaining to exercise 12 or more strikes. “If at that time defendants know die 9 or 12 individuals who are next in line, they will have complete control in selecting a final panel of 12.” the memorandum said. He suggested a complex mathematical arrangement to

avoid "the possibility that any party will have a “final say in the selection of the final panel.” It would require the defense to exercise two or three challenges in each of the first few rounds to the government's one. A second procedure advocated by the government would be to reshuffle the names of prospective jurors — and not let the order be known in advance — so that the defense could not be able to pick the “known individuals."

WASHINGTON (API - Turkey probably would tum to Western European nations for amts if hit by a ban on U.S. military aid. U.S. officials say The Senate voted 62 to 19 Wednesday to prohibit further military aid to Turkey, but hours later, under threat of presidential veto, agreed to a resolution that would allow President Ford to suspend the ban until Dec. 15. The resolution, offered by .Senate Majority leader Mike Mansfield, was sent to the House, which already has approved the amis cutoff. The Turkey amis prohibition is contained in a continuing money resolution that provides funds for foreign and other federal programs, for which regular annual appropriations have not been approved yet. Ford had threatened to veto the money bill because of the amendment to halt military aid to Turkev. but Mansfield said Three net prize STOCKHOIA1. Sweden (API — The Nobel Priee for physiology or medicine was awarded jointly today to three doctors, Albert Claude.

the President had agreed to sign the bill if both branches passed the resolution to suspend the cutoff temporarily. Under the resolution. Turkey could continue to receive U.S. arms until Dec. 15 if the President determines that continued nulitary aid will help negotiations for a peaceful settlement in Cyprus. Should the ban take effect, however. U.S officials say sev-

eral Western European countries likely would be prepares to step in and provide weapons to Turkey. West Germany already gives and sells military hardware to Turkey, they say Italy has sold helicopters to the Turks and U.S. officials say the Italians are interested in selling them fighters. “The French are always in the wings." said an American

official, referring to France’s extensive arms sales campaigns in many parts of the world. U.S. officials discount the possibility the Turks would accept any arms from the Soviet Union, even if the Russians offered such help. Since 1950, the Turks have received more than $3 billion in arms gifts and their army, air force and navy are almost entirely U.S. equipped.

Clear skies may linger on over nation

Helms lir ges recall Rocky agrees to written explanation of gifts

WASHINGTON (API - Nelson A Rockefeller has agreed to provide Congress with a written explanation of his financial gifts to aides and public figures. Despite the offer Wednesday, Sen Jesse Helms. R-N.C.. said Rockefeller has paid $3.9 million in gift taxes since 1964 and must be recalled to explain the gifts before the Senate Rules Committee, which is considering Rockefeller's nomination to be vice president. Sen. Howard Cannon. DNev., chairman of the rules panel, said any decision on whether to reopen the confirmation hearings has been put off until Congress returns from its election recess. “I don't think its a question of conflict of interest but rather one of influence of wealth in a political situation." Cannon said of the gifts made by the former New York governor. Helms said that “I think that any time an elected official spends close to $1 million to

make a gift to a political figure, then the public has the right to know why' before that person is confirmed for a high public office." Helms’ reference was to a disclosure that Rockefeller had given $550,000 to William J. Ronan. a former close aide who now is chairman of the New York-New Jersey Port Authority. Rockefeller press

secretary Hugh Morrow, himself the acknowledged recipient of a $100,-000 Rockefeller gift, said the Ronan gift cost Rockefeller a total of $880,000 when state and federal gift taxes are included. Other known Rockefeller gifts include $50,000 in 1969 to Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger after he left Rockefeller’s employment to join the Nixon administration.

LONDON (AP' - An estimated 30 million Britons are voting today to choose who will impose rigid austerity on them and how. and whether Britain's future is with the Common Market or with Washington. Polls predicted an easy victory for laibor Prime Minister Harold Wilson over Edward Heath's Conservatives. The domestic choice is between Labor’s assertion that the way out of Britain's economic crisis is through socialism and the Tories' stress on orthodox conservatism In foreign policy, Wilson s I-abor government is for cultivating LondonWashington ties and getting out of the Common Market.

LONDON (AP) - An estimated 30 million Britons are voting today to choose who will impose rigid austerity on them and how. and whether Britain’s future is with the Common Market or with Washington. Polls predicted an easy victory for Labor Prime Minister Harold Wilson over Edward Heath's Conservatives, but the polls have been dead wrong in Britain’s last two elections. The domestic choice is between Labor's assertion that the way out of Britain's economic crisis is through socialism and the Tories' stress on orthodox conservatism. Neither choice may prove sufficiently appealing to give either party a majority in Parliament. and there have been indications of an upsurge in the strength of the Liberal party and nationalist parties in Scotland. Wales and Northern Ireland If neither the I^borites nor the Tories win a majority. Britain may have to settle for a minority government, as it did last February. To form a majority governDairy fanners blast costs CHICAGO (AP) - Dairyfarmers say skyrocketing costs for everything from baling wire to feed will drive them out of business unless they get a better price for milk, and the housewife could end up paying for it as early as next month. Farmers and their representatives presented the message Tuesday at a hearing on a proposal by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to guarantee a floor price of $7 50 per 100 pounds of fluid milk. ITie floor would mean an increase of 1.7 cents a quart over September prices to farmers, and previous pricing patterns suggest it would probably be passed on to consumers.

ment, a party has to win at least 318 of the 635 seats in the House of Commons. At dissolution, I^ibor held 298, the Tories 296. the Liberals 15, the Ulster Unionists 10, Scottish nationalists 7, two seats were vacant and the rest were divided among splinter groups. Much of the campaign has mired in battles over statistics and in exchanges of invective. But the parties agreed on one point: Britain is living far beyond its means, and for at least a few more years living costs will rise and living standards will fall. Wilson has estimated it will take two full years of Labor government before things begin to improve again. Heath

has warned that the Labor program will plunge the nation into catastrophe. In foreign policy, the direction of the ballot could determine whether Britain remains active in the Common Market or turns toward Washington and a revival of the Commonwealth. Wilson's Labor government has been essentially Atlanticist in outlook, cultivating LondonWashington ties and opposing Britain’s membership in the Common Market On the other hand, Heath’s Conservatives have pledged to renew the emphasis they have always placed on Britain’s ties to the European community.
