Wage Ten THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, July 9, 1974 Poge Ten THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, July 9, 1974 Ehrlichman testifies, says he didn't order office break-in Lines form for historic Supreme Court session WASIBNGTON iJ', - Former top presidential assistant John Ehrlichman testified in his own defense yesterday that he did not authorize the Ellsberg break-in. Ehrlichman, until last April 30 President Nixon's chief do- mestic adviser, also said that misstatements he gave the FBI, and a grand jury were the re- sult of oversight and not in- tentional. FOLLOWING FIVE hours of testimony from Ehrlichman, U. S. District Judge Gerhard Ge- sell ordered Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to appear in court at the Plumbers trial to- morrow morning. Kissinger is expected to re- fute some testimony of a key prosecution witness, D a v i d Young, once an assistant to both Kissinger and Ehrlichman. In his testimony yesterday, Ehrlichman said it never enter- ed his mind that any of his aides were planning a break-in at the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psy- chiatrist. He characterized the opera- tions of the Plumbers, a spe- cial White House investigative unit, as a general attempt to pin down the motives of Daniel Ellsberg in leaking the Penta- gon Papers to the press. ASKED specifically by de- fense lawyer Henry Jones if he authorized the Sept. 3, 1971, break-in at the Beverly Hills, Calif., office of Dr. Lewis Field- ing, a psychiatrist who had STEVE'S LUNCH 1313 SO UNIVERSITY Home Cooking Is Our Specialty Breakfast All Day Specials This Week 3 eggs, Hash Browns, Beef Stroqanoff Toast & Jelly-$l .05 Chinese Pepper Steak Toast& JetY""1,05 Home-made Beef Stew Goulash Ham or Bacon or Ea Rolls Sausage with 3 eggs, Home-made Soups (Beef, Hash Browns, Toast and Barley, Clam Chowder. ett Jelly-$1.40Chili, Veetable Temura Fried Rice with Sausaqes 3 eggs., Rib Eye Steak, and Veetables Hash Browns, Spoahetti in Wine Sauce Toast & Jelly-$1.90 Beef Curry Rice FAST AND FRIENDLY SERVICE BY MR.

"Did you know about it?" Jones asked. "No," Ehrlichman replied. "Had you seen a plan as a blueprint so to speak for a break-in in advance?" Jones asked, "I never saw that," Ehrlich- man said. EHRLICHMAN testified that when he signed a memo giving approval to what ultimately was the Ellsbergs break-in-, he thought he was authorizing a legitimate operation, "I thought I was approving a legal, conventional investiga- tion," Ehrlichman said under cross-examination. Ehrlichman and three other defendants are charged with conspiracy to violate Fielding's civil rights through the break- in. In addition, Ehrlichman is charged with one count of giv- ing false statements to the FBI and three perjury counts of ly- ing to the Watergate grand jury. THE PERJURY counts ac- cuse Ehrlichman of telling the grand jury three different times that he did not know until after the break-in that the plumbers unit was seeking information for use in a psychological pro- file of Ellsberg. Ehrlichman testified that he was telling the truth at the time and was "as certain as I could be of something two years be- fore." By JEFF DAY Special To The Dafly WASHINGTON - "The Unit- ed States v. Nixon. Richard M. Nixon v. The United States of America." With those words, Chief Jus- tice Warren Burger yesterday began the long awaited oral arguments on two of the most important ~cases the Supreme Court will ever hear. One case would compel President Nixon to turn over 64 Watergate re- lated tapes; the other would determine whether the Water- gate Grand Jury acted improp- erly in labeling Nixon an unin- dicted co-conspirator in the Watergate coverup. THE NIGHT before, 200 peo- ple, mostly students, stood in a park across from the court, lin- ing up to get into yesterday's historic session. As the cool Washington evening set in, they sat in the green grass in front of . the Capitol, playing cards and joking, but mostly just wait- ing. Some sprawled out on the sidewalk, hoping to catch a last few hours of sleep before mid-' night when police would begin checking to make sure the line was orderly, and enforce the city ordinance prohibiting sleep- ing in the streets. By morning, the hot Washing- ton sun was beating down and the line had moved from across the street to the steps of the court house. Before the three hour session was over, the line would have grown- to at least 1500 and more than 1208 peo- ple would have gotten a brief glimpse of history, FOR SOME, the first 120 In line, there would be seats. For others, a five minute period i the back was all they got before being moved out to make roam for more. Some sat tucked in galleries and nooks to the side of the courtroom. For them all there was was the crowd, and the voices of justices and lawyers floating across the tops of heads. The bench was lost be- hind a swath of thick red cur- tains and tall marble pillars. For others, there would be no room at all and they would lis- ten intently outside the court for reports from those lucky enough to get in. YET, DESPITE the long wait for seats, the crowded quarters for the press and the artists crowded inside to catch the ac- tion in a room where cameras are forbidden, one chair re- mained empty. At 10 a.m. when the hear- ing began, Justice William Rehnquist quietly slipped out, excusing himself from the case in which his old boss, former Atty. Gen. John Mitchell, is in- volved. If the crowd had come to hear history, they did so quietly. They applauded when Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski en- tered the room and greeted Presidential Attorney James St. Clair with non-committal si- lence. But when Chief Justice War- ren Burger ended the hearings with "the case is submitted," the crowd left as quietly as it had come - to await the final decision to be made sometime in the next two weeks About Behaviorism B.F.
