Gagliardi suggested that at- torneys for the government and the defense confer "to see if they can agreed on a mutually accept- able trial date." BOTH MITCHELL, former at- torney-general, and Stans, form- er commerce secretary, were scheduled to go on trial yester- day. They are accused of conspiring to hide a $200,000 secret campaign contribution made in 1972 by fugitive financier Robert Vesco to the Committee for the re- election of President Nixon. Their trial was postponed tem- porarily this morning to await a decision by a three-judge fed- eral appeals court on a motion by defense lawyers for a delay. JUDGE GAGLIARDI acted af- ter the appeals court recommend- ed that he order a delay. The appeals panel made their recommendation after two of the judges, Henry Friendly, who The place to meet interesting people BACH CLUB ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING All new students (and old ones) are invited to come help us get started for the Fall.

The third judge, J. Edward Lombard disagreed with his col- leagues, saying he thought the case was sufficiently important to require direct appeals court intervention and that the appeals panel should order a delay. IN SEEKING a delay, attorn- eys for Mitchell and Stans argued they did not have sufficient time to consult with their clients to prepare for the trial. The attorneys stressed t h a t both defendants have been ap- pearing before various govern- ment bodies since their indict- ment on conspiracy and perjury charges last April, and had not had an opportunity to consult with their lawyers to prepare a de- fense. This lack of preparation would deny Mitchell and Stans their right to a fair trial if it had begun yseterday as scheduled, they maintained. JUDGE LEE GAGLIARDI pre- viously denied numerous defense motions to delay the trial, dis- miss the charges, or change the location of the trial to another jurisdiction. Gagliardi has called the case "basically a simple one," an opinion with which. Friendly and Feinberg disagreed. "We cannot agree with the trial judge that a 16-count, 46- page indictment with 60 pages of a bill of particulars is a 'simple' case," the two appellate judges added.

Elliot Richardson yesterday agreed to supply an FBI wire- tap report to senior senators in a move that could smooth the con- firmation of Henry Kissinger as secretary of state. Sens. Clifford P. Case (R-N.J.) John Sparkman (D-Ala.), of the Foreign Relations Committee were set to meet at the Capitol in late afternoon with Richard- son sand his acting deputy, Wil- liam Ruckelshaus. "AS THE TEMPER seems now I don't think there will be an impasse," Case said. Meanwhile, committee Chair- man J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark.) said the committee would vote Tuesday on Kissinger's nomina- tion to succeed William Rogers. Case last week proposed that no action be taken until the FBI submitted summaries of the wiretapes reportedly made be- tween 1969 and 1971 with Kissing- er's acquiesence. Thirteen Nixon administration officials, including members of the National Security Council staff, and four newsmen were the-targets of the wiretaps. KISSINGER DEFENDED the "bugging" as a painful but ne- cessary step to plug leaking to the press of sensitive material. He declined to furnish details. On Monday the committee vot- ed unanimously to seek a sum- mary from Richardson. The at- torney general agreed but said "raw files" on individuals would be held back. Case and Sparkman told newsmen, meanwhile, that the committee had never re- quested such undistilled data. In his third day as a witness, Kissinger assured the committee that he did not participate in a plot by White House "plumbers" to connect the late President John Kennedy tothe 1963 assassina- tion of South Vietnam President Ngo Dinh Diem. "IT IS a very dangerous busi- ness for one administration to begin investigating its predeces- sor," he said. Kissinger promised that as sec- retary of state he would never authorize procedures like t h e search of department files made by Howard Huit, later convicted of conspiracy in the uJne 1972 break-in of Democratic headquar- ters at the Watergate. The nominee also disputed a report in the Boston Globe that he leaked substantial amounts of closely guared diplomatic ma- terial to a writer, John N e w- house, for his book, "Cold Dawn: The Story of SALT," about the U.S.-Soviet arms limitation talks. Kissinger began: "I could have done without that particular story." He said it "illustrates some of the difficulties of public service at this time. It seems imperative for every motive to be questioned."
