By AP and Reuter WASHINGTON -- Presi- dent Ford said yesterday 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 President resigned because of the Watergate scandal. In an unprecendented personal appearance before a congressional panel, Ford See related stories, Page 10 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. HALDEMAN'S daugver, Su- san, wasamong those listening to the tapes in the otherxvise eerie silence of the coUrtroom. Another defendant, former Atty. Gen.

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.

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. On the inside . . .

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.

Carl Cohen asserted, "I per- sonally have opposed special treatment of the military at the University, but that is not the issue before us." He clarified the committee's task as one of asking, "Should credit be given for a set of cur- riculum offerings?" The curriculum committee reviews all academic courses ' and recommends proposed al- terations - which are then sub- mitted to the school's Executive Committee and ultimately to the LSA faculty for final action. CLASSICS Prof. C h a r l e s Witke, who asAssociate Dean last spring turned down a re- quest from the committee on Military Education Officer Pro- grams (MOEP) to review aca- demic content of ROTC courses, commented on the committee's action yesterday, "It has to be basically an academic question because we are an academic outfit." Describing the ROTC matter as "very sensitive," Cohen call- ed on the committee to be "scrupulously fair and totavoid applving a double standard." Cohen raised the question of exactly which experiences gen- erate learning and therefore was not academica able." According t colleges except LSA, the Art School awar ROTC courses.

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. THE controversy had held up Pdin-irn-nent of Congress for Agreement reached on Turkish aid plan final result of the aid cutoff "is that from now on, the United States policy in the Cyprus matter will no longer be tilted toward Turkey." "THE AGGRESSION of Tur- key is being repudiated by the American people," Eagleton said. He said "implements of war" means articles used to kill, wound or destroy. He said the term would not include.jeeps, military trucks, first aid equip- ment or canteens.
