Page 2-Sunday, January 14, 1979-The Michigan Daily LAST CONSPIRATOR FREED Mitchell to be released Friday John Wayne shows 'remarkable' recovery WASHINGTON (AP)-John Mitchell is the last; he closes the book. With his release next Friday, the prisons no longer will house any men of Watergate.- Legally, the debt is paid. Twenty-five men went to prison. Eleven worked directly for Richard Nixon in his ill-starred presidency; the others were caught in the Watergate coze of shady campaign finance or dirty politics. THE CO-CHAIRMAN of the Watergate burglary team spent the most time in prison. The men at Richard Nixon's right hand, convicted of scheming to hide the affair, were next. Then came the bungling burglars. At the bottom, quck-in, quick-out, were those who squealed, those who lied, and those who bent the finance laws. Of them all, John Mitchell personified Watergate more than anlyone except Nixon himself. He was a Watergate principal at both ends of the book and in the middle. The plot was hatched in his office; he was in on the cover-up, his colleagues tried to make him the patsy; he was the last into prison and he'll be the last out. Throughout it all, to this day, he remains Nixon's friend. At the time, Nixon said he felt the same way. "I believed that I owed my election as president in 1968 largely to his strength as a counselor and his skill as a manager," Nixon wrote in his memoirs. H.R. Haldeman suggested that the only way to put an end to Watergate was to blame Mitchell. Nixon writes that he replied: "I won't do that to him. To hell with it." BUT THE White House tapes show that when the Watergate crunch came, Nixon was ready to sacrifice his old friend and law partner, prophesying badly that John Mitchell-whom John Ehrlichman called "The Big En- chilada"-would never go to jail. At the cover-up trial, co-defendants Haldeman andEhrlichman-Nixon's No. 1 and No. 2 aides-turned against Nixon. Mitchell admonished his lawyer to say not one word against his former Mitchell *COMEJOIN US AT For a different kind of learning experience.

At the Senate Watergate hearings, Mitchell told of his dismay at learning about "White House horrors." He never quit denying that he gave the go-ahead for a quarter million dollars worth of political espionage that included bugging Democratic Party headquar- ters in Watergate. G. GORDON LIDDY, the stoically macho former FBI man and prosecutor who presented the burglary plans to Mitchell and then hired agents to carry, them out spent 52% months in prison, more than any other Watergate figure. But his jail time was as much for his stubborn silence as for the burglary. He could have served 18 months less had he testified to the grand jury. He probably would have won a reduciton in senten- ce-as at least nine others did-had he1 expressed contrition to U.S. District Judge John Sirica. Liddy's top aide, CIA veteran E. Howard Hunt, served 32 months. Mit- chell's time, officially, is 19 months. although he was out on medical furlough for five. Haldeman and Ehrlichman each served 18 months. THE FOUR burglars Hunt recruited in Miami, insisting doggedly that they, thought they were on a patriotic mission for the White House, were in prison slightly morethan one year. The first Watergate figure to plead1 guilty and to this day the most obscure, was a young man named George Hearing who helped Donald Segretti with his dirty tricks. Hearing served 280 days, Segretti only 133. Former Nixon appointments secretary Dwight Chapin fought in vain to the Supreme Court to wipe out his conviction for lying to a grand jury. He spent 235 days in jail. Jeb Stuart Magruder,-~who presented Liddy and his plan to Mitchell, was one of the first to tell prosecutors the Watergate story. His jail time: 218 days. Charles Colson, whose reputation for political hardball was such that Nixon, immediately suspected he was respon- sible for Watergate, was jailed 27 days and has since spent all his energies on a; Christian prison ministry. LOS ANGELES (AP)-Hollywood box-office king John Wayne, showing "remarkable" resiliency after removal of his cancerous stomach, could be released from the hospital after as little as two weeks, a spokesman said yesterday. Wayne, 71, a veteran of five decades of filmmaking, reportedly spent a rest- ful night Friday and was in "very stable" condition following his third major operation in 15 years. HE IS SURVIVING with a substitute stomach fashioned from his intestines "that should work in a remarkable, normal way," UCLA Medical Center Administrator Bernard Strohm told reporters. "For what he's gone through, he's in remarkably good shape and good spirits," Strohm said. "He wants to do things." The tall, lumbering actor, who won an Oscar in 1969 for his performance in "True Grit," underwent surgery Friday for a gall bladder ailment, but surgeons removed his stomach in a nine-hour operation when a malignant tumor was discovered. Wayne spoke with his three sons and four daughters after emering from surgery Friday, and again yesterday morning, Strohm said. A family mem- ber said Wayne's children were "very encouraged" by their father's reaction to the unexpectedly grueling operation. "HE'S REMARKABLE. He was alert so early," said Strohm. "He's weak, of course." Strohm said Wayne would remain under intensive care for at least four days and would be hospitalized for a minimum of two weeks. The actor is "awake and alert," he said. Strohm said Wayne's new stomach should not affect his life expectancy. He said Wayne's cancer had been confined to the stomach and that his doctors 'are very optimistic' about the success of the surgery. "I'm sure Mr. Wayne feels very for- tunate," Strohm said. "I'm sure Mr. Wayne must have had some concern." The operation was Wayne's second major surgery within a year and his second bout with cancer. The actor's left lung was removed in 1964 and he 1 v Wayne underwent heart surgery last April, when doctors removed his mitral valve and replaced it with a heart valve from a pig. Strohm said Wayne was taking liquids and that doctors would gradually increase the consistency of his food as his new stomach, actually a pouch created from the intestines, became stronger. As Wayne, veteran of almost 200 films, rested in a $345-a-day suite overlooking Westwood, hundreds of calls and telegrams continued to pour into the hospital switchboard. Among those calling were Ronald Reagan and Elizabeth Taylor.
