THE Mi~ichigan Daily Vol. LXXXIV, No. 28-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Saturday, June 15, 1974 Ten Cents Eight Pages Nixon promises U.S. nuclear aid to Egypt Peacefulpurpose stressed in pact CAIRO, Egypt (P - President Nixon and President Anwar Sadat signed an agreement yesterday for the United States to help Egypt develop nuclear power for peaceful purposes."h "Since the atomic age began," a joint U.S.-Egyptian communique said, "nuc- lear energy has been viewed by all na- 4 tions as a double-edged sword - of- fering opportunities for peaceful appli- - cation, but raising the risk of nuclear destruction." The communique did not specify how Egypt would use American nuclear sup- plies, but it said that the program is aimed at providing Egypt witth the nuc- lear know-how to speed its economic de- velopment. DIPLOMATIC informants said U.S.- supplied nuclear fuels and reactors would'r-" N be for "totally peaceful purposes." . Nixon signed the agreement with Sa- dat just before departing for Saudi Ara- 3 . bia after a triumphal two-day stay in Egypt. Under its terms, the President . agreed in principle to send U.S. Atomicf r Energy Commission experts to Egypt within the month and to sell Egypt nuc- lear supplies. The diplomatic sources dismissed spec- ulation that Egypt had asked for nuclear technology from the United States in order to develop a weapons capability. ISRAEL, which has a similar nuclear: ". agreement with the United States, has nuclear power plants. In Jerusalem, Israel's.information min- ister, Aharon Yariv, told a television in-r... ° e X . terviewer that the Israeli government AP Photo saw no reason to demand "special clari- fication" from Nixon on the Egyptian nuclear deal when he visits there Sun- day. He added Israel had been receiving The Rev. John Vanadia, a retired Catholic priest from Mon- at his favorite fishing site in Bolles Harbor.

Ehrlichman to be tried with WASHINGTON (A") - John Ehrlich- man will stand trial in the Ellsberg break-in case along with three other de- fendants after all. The trial is scheduled to begin June 26. U. S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell yesterday put an end to a week of un- certainty about whether Ehrlichman would be tried with the others, or have a separate trial at a later date. "We will go forward with all the de- fendants," Gesell said firmly and set the new date. The trial had been sched- uled for next Monday until Ehrlichman's status came into doubt. EHRLICHMAN'S lawyers still were ar- guing that they hadn't gotten all of the material they need from the White House for their defense. Gesell brushed the contention aside. "If there is any particular document you require, you may prepare a sub- poena for me, document by document, with a detailed written justification, and I'll decide on a document-by-document basis," the judge said. Gesell said he felt that the materials already turned over to Ehrlichman satis- fy a requirement that a defendant is en- titled to any evidence helpful to his de- fense that is in the hands of the govern- ment. The former White House official is charged - along with Bernard Barker- with conspiracy to violate civil rights of a citizen. Conviction carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $10,- 000 fine. THE CHARGES are in connection with the break-in at the office of Dr. Lewis Fielding, psychiatrist of Pentagon Pap- ers figure Daniel Ellsberg. In addition, Ehrlichman alone is charg- ed with three counts of lying to a grand jury and one of lying to the FBI. Each count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and $10,000 fine. The heart of the problem was White House insistence that only Ehrlichman could ook at the files he left behind when he resigned April 30, 1973. The White House also had insisted that the Presi- dent, not Gesell, would have the final word of what could be used in court. Nixon waived any objection to having the submitted materials used at trial. And the judge said he was satisfied with a sworn statement that no exculpatory info nation was left in subpoenaed White House files. IN ANOTHER Watergate - related de- velopment, the Los Angeles Times said a tape of President Nixon's controver- sial March 21, 1973, meeting shows the President said "we should buy time" rather than "we can buy time" through paying hush money to a Watergate con- plumbers' spirator. The "can buy" quote is in the edited transcripts the White House released of that meeting. A House Judiciary Com- mittee memorandum quoted by the Times gives the "should buy" quota- tion. The memorandum, one of two pre- pared for several impeachment inquiry members by staff lawyer William Dixon, also says Nixon knew prior to March 21 about: --Attempts to raise money for the Watergate defendants by former White House aide Frederick LaRue; -The Fielding break-in; -Discussions about containing the Watergate investigations; and -Discussions between Watergate con- spirator Howard Hunt and former presi- dential counsel Charles Colson about pos- sible commutation of sentences for the Watergate defendants.
