Sirica averts court battle
over ex-president's testimony

Democrats abolish quotas,

(Continued from Page 1)
WHEN H. R. "Bob" Halde-
man, Nixon's former chief of
staff, was on the stand last
week, the questioning got so
hot that Haldeman's lawyer
asked, "Are we trying Mr.
Nixon here or Mr. Haldeman?"
Prosecutor Richard Ben-Ven-
Paul Anderson of Georgia
lifted the greatest weight in his-
tory in 1957. The 364-pound giant
raised 6,270 pounds in a back
lift.

iste replied, "Mr. Haldeman,"
but Sirica said "I really don't
know."
And later the same day,
Frates objected that "we are
not trying the President of the
UnitedStates," although he
said he would have no objection
to that either.
SIRICA SAID then: "I object
to trying him in this courtroom
because he is not a defendant
in this case."

day, an hour at a time.E
He worried about keeping the
jury locked up through Christ-
mas and possibly weeks there-
after with nothing to do, wait-
ing for the Nixon testimony.
"WE'RE TRYING to finish
this trial by Christmas," he
told the jury and offered to
hold longer court days and sit
on Saturdays to meet that dead-
line.
The jury's reaction to that
was somewhat surprising. In a
letter to Sirica, signed "the
Watergate jury panel," the 12
jurors and five alternates said:
"While they would, of course,
enjoy spending Christmas at
home, it is not an overriding
concern among them. Much
time and effort has already'

KANSAS CITY (P) - Avert-
ing a threatened black walk-
out, Democrats shouted their
approval yesterday of a final
crucial compromise, scrapped
their controversial quota sys-
tem and passed the first writ-.
ten charter of any major U. S.
political party.
The final compromise, a pro-
duct of marathon negotiations
between the party's governors,
blacks and women, was ham-
mered out in a trailer just off
the convention floor as nearly
2,000 delegates sought to end the
internal feuds that have con-
sumed Democrats in recent
years.
"WE CAN'T ask the Ameri-
can people to trust us unless
we can trust each other," said
Ohio Gov. John Gilligan, a key
mover in the drive by the gov-
ernors to assert themselves as
leaders in unifying the party.
For the most part, the char-
ter takes the party's current
practices and embodies them
in a constitution that will gov-
ern its activities in the years
after 1976.
But on the question of dele-
gate selection rules, the final
compromise removed language
that blacks and women feared
would make future credential
challenges more difficult. It has
already been adopted for 1976,
but yesterday's action removed
it from post-1976 rules.

were accurate enough to threat-

He said the United States
could increase its throw weight
and also reduce the vulner-
ability of its forces by reducing
reliance on land-based missiles
and increasing submarine-based
missiles.
He said that over the 10 years
of the agreement land-based
missiles deployed by both sides
were likely to become vulner-
able because of an increase in
both missile accuracy and ex-
plosive power.

Before the IRS disbanded the

later as the Special Service

more than 11,000 files on per-

The most recent batch of doc-

Associated Press after the IRS
claimed it had surrendered all
relevant files on the subject un-
der a Freedom of Information

Tax Reform Research Groap.
THERE REMAINS a pk:en-

the 99 names from various IRS
divisions was taken on June 25,
1969.
LEON GREEN, now an IRS
regional commissioner in Cin-

the Activist Organizations Com-

commendation because the tax
agency was under fire from Con-
gress for not taking action
against radical groups that paid
no taxes.

Avedikian says her music is'

suppressed and that can be
threatening in a way. I try to
tell women, 'You're strong and

After the tour, Avedikian
