City council moves to stop
landlord welfare prejudice

GREETED BY 'VICTORS':
Ford visits Japan

By DAVID WHITING
City Council passed at, firstI
reading last night an amend-
ment to include people on public
assistance in the city's Human
Rights Ordinance.
The motion introduced by
Councilwoman Kathy Kozachen 1
ko (HRP-Second Ward) passed
8-2 with the mayor and council-
man Roger Berrtoia (R-Third'
Ward) voting against the jao-
tion.

The resolution seemed doom-

Henry (R-Third Ward) set the
mood for fellow Republicans and
indicated it would vote for the
motion provided before its sec-
ond reading it was "thoroughly

Commission . "
Henry said he would later,

THEY WERE expected to
concentrate on Korean unifica-I
tion, representation of the two
Koreas in the United Nations
and other international political
and economic questions.
There were no women present
at Ford's first meeting with the
emperor. Ms. Ford, recovering
from cancer surgery, was un-
able to make the trip.
The historic first meeting in
Japan between an American
president and a Japanese em-
peror took place under clear
and sunny skies, with security
guards staring down from hotel
windows overlooking the court-
yard of the official guest
house.
OTHER buildings near the
palatial, European-style guest
house, where Ford is staying
during his five-day visit, also
were under tight security. The
courtyard's iron gates were,
locked.
The emperor's full-dress re-
ception was the first official
function of the President's visit,
the symbolism of which he
plans to use to strengthen al-
ready close U.S.-Japanese ties.

Chrysler promises no
total company shutdown

(Continued from Page 1)
Industry observers said that
if Chrysler closes most of its
plants between Dec. 2 and Jan.
6 as reported, it would be an
unprecedented cutback unseen
in the industry except in war-
time.
Meanwhile, 95,000 Big Three
auto workers are on layoffs
this week, the largest number;
of furloughs in the industry
since new models debuted in
September and sales nosedived.
Some 26,000, more than 25 per
cent of the Chrysler blue col-
lar workforce of about 100,000,
is idle this week, the firm said.
General Motors has announc-

ed layoffs which will idle 49,300
workers this week, including
36,000 who are on indefinite
furloughs and may not be recall-
ed until car sales begin to
climb.
Ford Motor Co. layoffs num-
ber more than 18,500, including
10,425 who haven't been told
when to return to work.
Workers who are laid off by
American auto makers draw
from a unique Supplemental Un-
employment Fund, which along
with regular unemployment
compensation should provide
workers on the job a year or
more nearly 95 per cent of
their regular take-home pay
for up to a year.

Jury listens to Nixon tape

(Continued from Page 1)
NIXON TOLD Colson that the
"question of clemency ---
Hunt's is a simple case. I mean,
uh, after all the man's wife is!
dead, was killed; he's got one
child that has . ."
Colson adds: "Brain damagel
from an automobile accident."
Nixon: "That's right. We'll!
build that son of a bitch up
like nobody's business."
"WE'LL HAVE (conservative
author William) Buckley write
a column and say, you know,
that he should have clemency,
if you're given 18 years of
service."
Nixon, after backing Clem-
ency for Hunt, told Colson "I
would have difficulty with some
of the others," referring to the
six other burglars about to
stand trial.
Colson, now serving a prison
term for his confessed rle in
Watergate, responds by telling
his former boss: "See, I don't
give a damn if they spend live
years in jail . . . they can't
hurt us."
Repeatedly, Nixon refers to
Watergate in terms of a bittle.
HE TOLD Colson: "I know
it's tough for, uh, for all of you,
Bob (Haldeman), John (Ehrlich-
man) and the rest.
"We're just not gonna let it
get us down. This is a battle,
it's a fight, it's war and we
just fight with a little, uh, you
know, uh, remember, uh, we'll
cut them down one of these
days."
In the conversation with Hal-
deman, Nixon refers to a cover-I

.up, the day before he later
claimed he first learned about
'Watergate from his White
House lawyer and later chief
accuser, John Dean, in the now
facous "cancer is growing on
the presidency" discussion.
THE JURY heard Nixon tell-
ing his deputy that the White
House had to use the claim of
executive privilege to keep his,
aides from testifying before the
Senate Watergate Committee.
"Obviously no, we're just not
going to allow it (testifying)
mainly because we just can't,
can't allow that sort of thing
to come out," Nixon said.
"But then what you have to'
do is to-you gotta fight it
through the god damned courts
for a long time. You've got
the story of a cover-up, that's,
that's what's involved," he ex-
plained in the 70-minute con-
versation.

THE NEWLY released tape;
also showed that the Watergate
Committee's t o p Republican,
and presidential hopeful, Sen-
ator Howard Baker of Tennes-
see, had discussed strategy with
Nixon in advance of the hear-:
ings.
At one point, the former Pres-!
ident tells Haldeman: "The1
theory that Baker had, which
of coarse I rejected it, was in-
credible."
Nixon said Baker apparently
suggested letting "everybody
testify and he said choke
the goddamned thing for a week,
an'd after that the people will be

bored to death."
THE PROSECUTOR said he
plans to play a total of 19 tapes
in the next few days, eight of
which have never been released
before. Nine tapes of presiden-
tial conversations have already
been played during the last
eight weeks of the trial.
Later, the prosecutors played
a fourth conversation, recorded
March 22, between Haldeman
and Nixon talking about cash
paid to the defendants, includ-
ing Haldeman's acknowledge-
ment that White House funds
wer involved.
"Why is that obstruction of
justice anyway?" Haldeman
asks.
"WELL, particularly w h e n
it's not to sip champagne," Nix-
on seemingly agrees.
"Goddamn it, the people ,are
in jail, it's only right for people
to raise the money for them ..
I think we ought to. There's got
to be funds . . . I don't mean
to be blackmailed by Hunt, that
goes too far, but we're taking
care of these people that are
in jail," the former President
told Haldeman.
When Haldeman turns to
Hunt's knowledge of "sleazy
things" done for the White
House, the subject of a pardon
is talked about, the day before
the burglar was to be sen-
tenced.
Haldeman said: "But if Hunt
thinks that's what he's been
promised .."
"He'll shut up now," the
President interjects.
Haldeman counters with:
"Hell, he may shut up now
but what, what do you do at
Christmas time?," when par-
dons are traditionally granted
prisoners.
Nixon then tells Haldeman to
find out what Colson has
promised Hunt, who testified at
the trial earlier that the Nixon
aide had promised a pardon.
The former Attorney General
was expressionless as he listen-
ed to a section of the tape in
which Haldeman tells Nixon:
"Mitchell will find a way out.
You have to let them get to
him, I think."
Nixon's one-time top aide
sided with Dean's play to draw
a circle of wagons around the
White House" and pin the blame
on Mitchell arguing "that it
forces Mitchell to take te re-
sponsibility rather than allow-
ing Mitchell to hide under the
blanket of the White House,
which he's been doing."
