S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell declared yes- terday. Gesell, in a stern lecture to the President's chief lawyer, James St. Clair, said that Nixon's shielding of the materials "borders on ob- struction" of justice. "I DON'T think he understands the consequences of what he is doing," Ge- sell said of the President. In a nearby courtroom, meanwhile, Judge John Sirica lifted the secrecy on a grand jury report which is known to in- clude the President's name on a list of unindicted co-conspirators in the Water- gate cover-Lp. The material is now in the hands of the Supreme Court, how- ever, and when it might actually be re- leased to the public was uncertain. At the Gresell hearing, the judge said Nixon and St. Clair had brokcn an agree- ment under which defense lawyers would be able to accompany John Ehrlichman in a review of hindwritten notes Ehr- lichman left behind at the White House. REBUKING St. Clair, Gesell said, "When you make a commitment in open court, you make it to me. You broke it." The White House policy of narrowly limiting Ehrlichman's access to mater- ials he may need for a fair trial is "to- tally offensive," Gesell said. "It bor- ders on obstruction." In the Plumbers case, Ehrlichman, Gordon Liddy and two others accused in the 1971 break-in at the office of Dr. Lewis Fielding, D~aniel Ellsberg's psy- chiatrist. IT IS NOT clear precisely how far Gesell might be prepared to go in press- ing possible contempt proceedings against the President. He has also said he is willing, if necessary, to dismiss the charges against the Plumbers de- fendants if enough evidence is not made available for their defense. On learning yesterday that Ehrlich- man was denied permission to take his lawyers with him into a White House vault where the files are stored, Gesell said: "I propose to have a hearing . . . as to who has the custody of these docu- ments so that I may take the appro- priate procedures under the contempt statutes to determine whether or not this material will be produced." LATER, he announced his intention to "write an order and opinion" on the is- sue of White House access. He did not say when that decision is expectable. At the other hearing, Sirica reversed his earlier order which sealed the grand See GESELL, Page 10 LOS ANGELES M)--In a taped mes- She said she was amused at specula- "If sage received yesterday, Patricia Hearst ,tion that she had been brainwashed into afraid said she was in love with slain Sym- joining her captors, and strongly indi- are t bionese Liberation Army member Wil- cated she would never surrender.
