THE SIRICA-WJ1SON argi-,
ment began with Wilson saying
Sirica was unfair.
The judge responded by an-
grily pointing his finger and
saying:
"Now listen, Mr. Wilson. You,
know me, you've known me for?
years. I'm as much interested
in getting the truth out as you4
are." ,
Wilson's questioning was di-;
r:' ted mainly at attacking the!
cre' ihility of Dean.
DURING A portion of Dean's
testimony, Sirica explained to
the j'iry that when a witness is
called by either prosecution or
defense, that side vouches that
what the witness says is believ-!
able.
When the jury was out of the
courtroom, prosecutor James
Neal said "we have concern"

Local reaction to the appeal
body's decision was generally
negative. Fifteenth Districi
Court Judge Sandorf Elden, who
in 1972 struck down Ann Arbor's
first $5 pot fine, said that he
would "probably not" convict
a defendant without physical
evidence - depending on how
stronga case was made by the
prosecution.
Elden did emphasize that,
"I'm bound to follow what the
law says, even if I don't al-
ways agree with it."
LOCAL attorney Donald Kos-
ter, who is currently running
against Elden for the judgeship
in November, said, "I would
certainly follow the law, but a
mere supposition that someone
was smoking marijuana, as op-

posed to oregano, should not

State Representative Perry
Bullard, himself an admitted
pot smoker, expressed dismay
at the use of police informers
in the Upper Peninsula case
and the decision's impact on
informers.
"IT MAKES it a lot easier for
undercover agents to invade
people's privacy and arrest
them," he said.
Bus crash
about vouching for some of the
covernment's witnesses where
"we think 85 per cent of what he
says is true but have serious
concern about the other 15 per
cent."
Sirica said he wouldn't ex-
pect the government to vouch
for the credibility of witnesses
who have beenaconvicted, and
EEhrlichman's lawyer, WilliamI
Frates, said "I assume you ,
were thinking about former
President Nixon who may be,
called as a court witness."
SAID SIRICA: "That could
happen. I'm not saying it willj
happen. In that case, nobody
would have to vouch for his
credibility."
With the jury in the court-
room, Wilson led Dean through
his story of taking $4,850 for his
honeymoon from a $350,000 cash
fund kept by Haldeman in the
White House.
I Then Wilson turned his ques-
tions to Dean's testimony last
year to the Senate Watergate
committee about Nixon telling
him on Feb. 27, 1973, that he
should take over the Watergate
investigation.
DEAN ADMITTED that what
he had told the Senate com-
rmittee did not appear on a tape
or transcript of the meeting.
Dean said there was an over-
lap in his mind about meetings
held on Feb. 27, 28, March 1 and
March 13.
At that point Wilson attempted
to place the Senate transcript
into evidence and the judge
sent the jury from the room.
SIRICA TOLD the lawyers he
planned to let Wilson proceed
with Dean's questioning and
then let prosecutor Neal allow
Dean to make the same ex-
planation about the overlapping
meetings.
"I always want to be re-
spectful," said Wilson, "but I
think that's palpably unfair."
When Wilson continued to pro-,
test, Sirica said, "we're going
to do it may way, not your

"I call on Republicans in
Ohio and the rest of the country
to turnout to vote on Nov. 5 like
you never have before. Con-j
found doomsayers. Fool the
pessimistic pollsters."
WHITE HOUSE reportersj
were alerted just before Ford!
spoke in Oklahoma City to ex-
pect an important foreign poli-
cy statement.
Ford announced no new for-
eign policy move but, in what
Nessen said was a reference to:
congressional votes to soon cut
off U. S. aid to Turkey, the
President said:
"I am concerned about the
breach of this bipartisanship
between a Republican president
and a Democratic Congress..
"I AM concerned that if we:
get a Congress that is veto-
proof, a Congress that has the
wrong philosophy - both do-
mestically and internationally-
the possibility for the next two
years when our country faces
the challenges in the Middle
East, the challenges in the
Mediterranean, the challenges
in the Caribbean and in Latin
America, the challenges in the
Pacific - as we try to work to
broaden detente, as we try to
continue the normalization of
relations with the Peoples Re-
rniblic of China, as we, in the
White House, and those in the
Congress who understand bipar-
tisanshin and who believe that
partisanship should end at the
water's edge - if we get the
wrong kind of Congress, peace
could be in jeopardy."
T H E F O R D statement
prompted this response from
Democratic National Chairman
Robert Strauss:
"I was both saddened and
troubled at hearing President
Ford's shocking implication that
the election of Democrats would
have an adverse effect on'
world peace. This kind of rhe-
toric is reminiscent of the
Nixon - Agnew campaign of
1970, when they appealed to the
baser instincts of the American
public and were soundly reject-
ed."-
Sen. Edmund Muskie, (D-
Maine) called Ford's statement
"a ridiculous charge." Muskie
said the President apparently
was making a campaign pitch,j
but it came out as "a horror
story instead."
THE PRESIDENT tried to
raise red warning flags against
the election of "additional ex-
tremists in the Democratic par-
ty" to the Senate and House in
the Nov. S, balloting.
He argued that if the opposi-
tion party gains decisive con-
trol of Congress it will embark
on "wild spending programs."

bus. He was not seriously hurt.
All but five of the injured-
four children and the bus driver
-were treated for cuts and3
bruises and released, said Don
Tate, administrator of the Rock-
mart- Aragon Hospital.
One of the children hospitaliz-
ed was in critical condition and
another in guarded condition.
OFFICIALS said there were,
79 children on the bus, which
had a seating capacity of 66.
Georgia law permits 20 per cent
overloading.
Tate earlier had reported
that about two dozen children
a were hurt, but he said the rest
were brought in later with min-
or injuries.
"These children had crawled
out from the windows of the bus
and went to a nearby store,
telephoned their parents and
went home," Tate said.

chief surgeon, Dr. Max Rodgers,
to the scene to assist local doc-
tors. The railroad also offered
to provide free of charge any
