NFW tiRtEANS ()-A federal appeals
court yesterday ordered an end to for-r
mer Army Lt. William Calley's freedom
on bail while his conviction in the My l s d i c
ILas killings is argued in ciili n courts,
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
rexversed a lower cotirt judge who
granted Calley bail in February-block-
ing the Army's move to send him toI
military prison at Ft. I eavenworth, Kan.
IN A FIVE-PAGE ruling issued 21
hours after a special expedited hearing,
the three-judge panel ordered Calley
back into Army custody-with the Army
to decide where it wants to keep him.
In Washington, the Army said it is
'prep. red to resume custody of William;
Calley a nsoon as it is legally permis-
sible to do so."
The ruling means Calley must con-
tinue serving his 10-year sentence while
his lawyers argue before U.S. District
Judge Robert Elliott in Columbus, Ga.,
in an effort to have his military con-X
viction retried in civilian court.'
A JUNE 24 hearing is set in the Geor-
gia court.
Calley attorney Houston Gordon said
from Covington, Tenn.:
"It was unexpectedly quick and we're
going to take all steps we can just as
fast as we can to either ask the 5th;
Circuit Court of Appeals to review their
decision or try to have it 'set aside by
a higher authority."
THE NEXT STEP would be an appeal
to the U.S. Supreme Court.,

WASHINGTON (,' After a week of
see-sawing, there still was no final word
yesterday on whether John Ehrlichma
will stand trial with three co-defendants
next week in the "plumbers" break-in
case.
U. S. Disrict Judge Gerhard Geselt
met with Ehrlichman and lawyers for
nearly two hours, tien the fonner Nixon
tide wsas driven ts the White Hoiuse to
liook at his files.
TIlE JUDGE scheduled another mee-
ing today and said "some sort of an
order" will be issued then.
Even if Ehrlichiman is finally tried
with Bernard Barker, Eugenio Martinez
and Gordon Liddy, it seemed likely the
last-minute maneuverings will force a
delav. Gesell indicated in court he
might grant a continuance of a week or
two.
A further son m5litin matter was the
itness of WhiteI Istc in's s-u- I-red Buz-
hardt.
llllARDIT WAS in the coronary unit
of a suburban W-Ishington h spitl after
experiencing chest pains during the
night. A hospital snikesperson said BUZ-
hardt was thight to be suffering frot
a clot m ti i-hert muscle
His condition was described as stable,
but serious.
Ehrlichman was severed as a defend-
ant Tuesday when it appeared he and his
lawyers could not gain full access to his
White House files for material he sub-
poenaed for the trial.
ON WEDNESDAY, Buzliardt told Ge-
sell the President had waived all re-
strictions on Ehrichman notes already
submitted by the White Ilose to the
judge. And he signed a sworn statement
that the remaining subpoenaed notes
contained nothing that could help or
hurt Ehrlichman.
The White House action appeared, at
least temporarily, to remove the pros-
pect of a show cause hearing possibly
leading to a contempt charge against the
President.
The conspiracy charge against Ehr-
lichman, Barker, Martinez and Liddy al-
leges that they violated the civil rights
