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 .reorganization. "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. I w -9 TICKETS GO ON SALE TOMORROW!
