Pae Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY Friday, June 3; 1977 Jail likely for Mitche, Haldeman WASHINGTON (T) - H. R. Haldeman and John Mitchell probably will go to prison June 22, nearly two and a half years after they were convicted of conspiring to cover up White House involvement in the Wat- ergate scandal. U. S. District Judge John Sirica will set the exact date Monday when the two Nixon lieutenants will be in Sirica's courtroom for the first time since he sentenced each on Feb. 21, 1975, to terms of two and a half to eight years. MITCHELL WILL be the first attorney general in American history to be imprisoned. He and Haldeman, the White chief of staff under Richard Nixon, will ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its denial of their ap- peal - but their chances of success are slim. The third man convicted in the cover-up trial, John Ehr- lichman, began serving his time more than seven months ago. Sirica' signaled his intention to set the June 22 date at a hearing yesterday after pleas by lawyers for Haldeman and Mitchell that they need time to set their affairs in order. "I KNOW that skeptics will say he has had two years, but a man always puts off these things," said John Wilson, Hal- deman's lawyer. Wilson said that Haldeman's daughter graduates from law school in Ips Angeles on June 19. "I don't think I have to un- derscore the desire of Bob Hal- deman to attend her gradua- tion," Wilson said. At the time of the hearing, Sirica still had not been noti- fied officially that the Supreme Court on May 23 refused to hear the Haldeman - Ehrlichman - Mitchell appeal. "I REALLY don't have any jurisdiction at this point," he said. But the notification reached Sirica's office in early after- noon and he summoned the two convicted men to court next Monday morning. Mitchell's lawyer, Plato Ca- cheris, had asked Sirica that Mitchell be allowed to remain free to help prepare the legal arguments to be presented to the Supreme Court in a petition for reconsideration. Such petitions are granted rarely. Since 1971 the court had granted only six reconsidera- tion requests - each time be- cause a subsequent ruling in a different case had a bearing on a case that was not accepted.

Justice Ministry spokeswo- man Toos Faber said the tow- ers put up Wednesday, were being used by police to relay pictures from hidden closed- circuit television cameras watching movements inside the train, where the seven to 11 terrorists were holding at least 55 hostages. NO INJURIES were reported from the gunfire. Officials would not say where the hidden cameras were locat- ed, but they said the train was being monitored by television from both sides. Prime Minister Joop den Uyl and key cabinet members met in The Hague, meanwhile, to "consider their next move" in efforts to find mediators ac- ceptable to both sides, Faber said.

Militants in the South Mo- luccan immigrant community in the Netherlands want the Dutch to help them win independence from Indonesia for their Pacif- ic island homeland. The South Moluccan islands and the rest of Indonesia were once Dutch colonies. Dutch newspapers reported that the terrorists had fired at men from an elite Dutch ma- rine squad who were planting listening devices at the train during the night. Faber de- clined comment on this. SHE SAID the terrorists had called up Dr. Dick Mulder, a psychiatrist conducting the tele- phone -talks with the Moluc- cans, demanded that the televi- sion masts be removed, and then began shooting. She said the tall masts, in open fields several hundred yards from the rain, were not hit in the spor- adic gunfire. The government says the ter- rorists on the train hold at least 30 men and 25 women, includ- ing a 23-year-old woman who is seven months pregaant. The gunmen at the school, where two of the remaining hostages are women, released 105 children and a teacher lost Friday after they hod been held for four days and after some of the children developed stomach ailments. THE TERRORISTS initially demanded the release of 21 Mo- luccan extremists jailed for ter- rorist activities in Holland and a jumbo jet to fly them to an undisclosed destination. They no longer insist on tak- ing any of the hostages with them, or that they must have a Boeing 747, Faber said. The release of the 21 convict- ed terrorists "has not been on issue for several days" anoth- er Justice Ministry spokesman, Wim van Leeuwen, said yester- day. He declined to say whether the terrorists had dropped the demand. HE ADDED that some of the 21 prisoners do not wantto be freed in any terrorist deal. "Their lawyer has informed us some of the Moluccans in prison have expressed a reluct- ance to leave," van Leeuwen said. TONIGHT AT: SECON CHANCE BLAZE 994-5350
