Wednesday,;October 30, 1974 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Pace Three Hunt c WASHINGTON UP) - E. Howard Hunt testified yesterday that the mon- ey demand former President Richard Nixon viewed as blackmail last year was just an attempt to collect an over- due bill. "You don't consider your com- ments to disclose seamy things you did unless you got $50,000, $60,000, $72,000 as blackmail?" the Watergate break-in conspirator was asked at the Watergate cover-up trial. "NO, SIR," said Hunt. "What do you consider it, an in- lenies bi vestment plan?" "I consider that I was in the posi- tion of a bill collector trying to get those who had made prior commit- ments," said Hunt. Hunt underwent cross-examination on this second day as a witness at the trial of John Mitchell, H. R. "Bob" Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, Robert Mardian and Kenneth Parkinson, all charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice. Hunt had testified that in March 1973 when he was about to be sen- ackmail tenced for his role as foreman of the Watergate break-in team he had word relayed to the White House that he wanted $122,000 to pay his law- years. He said he threatened to dis- close other covert jobs THE WHITE HOUSE tape tran- script of a conversation former White House counsel John Dean had with Nixon on March 21 showed that both Dean and the President viewed the demand as blackmail. "You don't feel you were selling your silence?" William Hundley, at- charge torney for Mitchell, asked. "No, sir," said Hunt, "that was a different matter." Hundley asked if Hunt considered it extortion. "NO, SIR . .. it was neither extor- tion nor blackmail," Hunt responded. On Monday Hunt testified he had lied at least a dozen times to grand juries and had decided to tell the truth finally after reading the White House transcripts last summer. He said he decided then that the peo- ple he was protecting were not-worth it. Palestine issue may Kirtihn rinan~o tnlls ................. . ...'V RA/" " 1 G N W. lR' MOROCCO u) - A decision by Arab leaders to create an independent Palestinian state under Yasir Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) appeared yesterday to have doomed the Geneva Middle East peace talks, at least temporar- ily. In an Israeli radio interview from New York, Information Minister Aharon Yariv denounc- ed the decision taken at the Arab summit meeting and re- peated Israel's vow not to hand over territory to the PLO. "THERE IS nothing to talk about at Geneva," he said. PLO spokesman Abdul Moh- sen Abu Maizar said the Arab summit's decision "is a big blow against Israeli and Ameri- can policy." He reiterated the PLO goal to merge Israel into a Palestinian state where "Jews and Arabs will have equal rights and obligations." Israel's rejection of a Gene- va conference involving the PLO left any hope for a settle- ment to the bilateral, gradual approach proposed by U. S. Sec- retary of State Henry Kissin- ger.
