WASHINGTON -- Presi-

that the q ue st io n of a'
pardon for Richard Nixon
was raised in talks with a
top White House aide a few
days before the f or me r

of the Watergate scandal.

ably be healthy enough to tes-
tify at the Watergate cover-up
trial in three weeks or a month.
After hearing the optimistic
report from Herbert Miller, the
attorney, U.S. District Judge
John Sirica put off any decziion
on Nixon's testimony for three
weeks, pending a new medical
report.
SIRICA SAID he preferred
Nixon to make "an appearance
in open court," instead of an-
swering questions under oath at
his San Clemente, Calif., estate.
Before Sirica held a short
hearing on how to handle Nix-
on's request to be excused from
testifying, the jury heard the
first and second of more than
30 White House tangs Water-
gate prosecutors plan to iniror-
duce into evidence.
Jurors, defendants and spec-
tators alike donned cumber-
some earphones and, listened
to the private, frequently pro-
fane conversations of the for-
mer president and 'iis closest
aides.

John Dean listening as he .at

and spectators heard former
President Richard Nixon praise

THE INCIDENT marked the
first time Dean had been sum-
moned before Nixon to make
a progress report on the cover-
up. It occurred Sept. 15, 1972,
the same day the original seven
defendants were indicted by a
grand jury. Also at the meeting
was former White House chief-
of-staff Haldeman.
During the conversatin, Nix-
on discussed using the FBI and
other federal agencies for poli-
tical revenge during his secnd
term, a move Dean called "an
exciting prospect."
The contents of the 32-miiute
tape had been disclosed previ-
ously in a limited White House
version and later by the IHou.e
Judiciary Committee.

Meat in
the street
Cattle farmers in London yesterday offered a
viable alternative, so to speak, to the protest cat-
tle massacres conducted earlier this week by
American farmers. To protest "rock bottom" beef
prices, 15 farmers played havoc in London's gov-
ernment district by releasing three 600 - pound
steers in mid-morning traffic. Police struggled for
a few minutes to round up the critters as they
moseyed among the automobiles on Whitehall, the
London equivalent of Pennsylvania Avenue in
Washington. The farmer group leader, John James,
was granted a meeting with agriculture ministry
officials but later said he got little results. It
seems government types aren't easily cowed.

stated "there was no deal,
period, under any circumt
stances," in his pardon of
Nixon.
FORD, testifying before the
House Judiciary subcommittee,
admitted his talks with the of-
ficial - White House Chief of
Staff Alexander Haig - took
place last Aug. 1, seven days
before Ford took office, but the
President insisted that he made
no commitments whatsoever
about a pardon at that time.
Ford said that he granted the
pardon for the benefit of the
nation, not Nixon, and he is
convinced he did the right thing
at the right time.
"I wanted to do all I could
to shift our attentions from the
pursuit of a fallen president to
the pursuit of the urgent needs
of a rising nation," he said.
FORD SAID he hoped by
coming before the House Ju-
diciary subcommittee and giv-
ing his account of the pardon
personally he had "at least
cleared the air" of the rumors
and suspicions that have circu-
lated about the pardon since he
announced it Sept. 8.
But most subcommittee mem-
bers said they still regarded
many questions as unanswered,
and Chairman William Hungate
(D-Mo.) said further hearings,
with other witnesses, might be
held after the November elec-
tions.

WASHINGTON (P)-The head-
to-head impasse between Presi-
dent Ford and Congress over
cutting off U.S. military aid to
Turkey was broken yesterday
with approval of a new com-
promise reportedly acceptable
to Ford.
It was passed overwhelmingly
by -the House and then by the
Senate within hours after the
House failed by only two votes
to override Ford's second veto
of a congressional Turkish aid
cutoff.
THE HOUSE approved the
new compromise 191-33, and the
Senate sent it to Ford by voice
vote.
The new compromise delays
c~toff of the Turkish aid until
Dec. 10, providing Turkey sends
no more "implements of war"
to its occupation forces onCy-
nr'us, does not enlarge those
forces and continues toobserve
the present cease-fire. The
measire Ford vetoed earlier
would have ct off aid if Turkey
sent any kind of equipment to
the Cyprus forces.
The compromise passed the
Har'se with little debate after
leaders announced it would be
vetoed by Ford.
