"If it had been simply for their,
defense, that would have been
proper, I understand. But if it was
for the purpose of keeping them
quiet - you describe it as hush
money - that, of course, would
have been an obstruction of jus-
tice," the President explained.
HE POINTED out to Dean that
raising the money and paying it
was something that could be done
but that it was linked to clemency
and "no individual is simply going
to stay in jail because people are
taking care of his family."
"t then said that to pay clemency
was wrong," Nixon said. "I think
I can quote it directly. I said, 'It
was wrong, that is for sure."'
Now there were two major con-
flicts in the President's own words.
JAMES McCORD, one of the
original seven defendants, asked
the federal court to lift his con-
viction on grounds that Nixon
should have told what he knew!
about the hush money to U.S. Dis-
trict Judge John Sirica.
Sirica, at that time, was prepar-
ing to sentence the defendants.
Last Friday, undergoing ques-'
tions by Chicago businessmen, the t
President was asked how Water-
gate had affected the quality of life
in America, and chose to return toI
the March 21 issue.
"The President learned for the
first time at that time that pay-
ments had been made to the de-
fendants, and let me point out that
payments had been made but-cor-
recting what may have been a
misapprehension when I spoke to
the press on March 6 in Washing-
ton-it was alleged that the pay-
ments that had been made to de-
fendants were made for the pur-
pose of keeping them still.'

Board votes
on crowding
controversy
(Continued from Page I)
over the merits of Proposal "F"
forced the Board members to take
sides on the issue.
A hotly disputed point last night
was the status of the $37,000 study
by the University Bureau of School
Services to assess the middle
school and other educational in-
novations within the school system.
The two other middle schools will
not be directly affected by the de-
cision.
i Trustee Weinhold called for the
distribution of an item of informa-
tion aboutthenclassroomdistribu-
ztion of students at 11 a.m., ac-
cording to plan "F" well into the
final round of the discussion.
This infuriated Johnson who chal-
lenged the validity of one of the
figures, but his objection was un-
able to dissuade the other trustees
from voting for a continuation of
present programs.
The plan will reduce enrollment
at Huron by 382, dropping from a
total 2,477 to 2,095 and permit, one
more year of delay in the district

"This kicks the Clague teachers
right in the face when we should
be saying we are glad to have
them teaching in our school," said
Bolhouse.

SAD SONG OF YELLOW SKIN
Absorbing and disturbing documentary which focuses on three
young Americans living in Saigon. One lives with a group of
Vietnamese child-men who work as shoe shine boys; another, a
Journalist, tours a barbaric neighborhood called "The Grave-
yard"; the third is John Steinbeck, Jr., who lives on an incred-
ible island of Peace in the Mekong Delta. Not a film about
death in war, but about what little life there is left with war
all around.
