Carter OK's neutron bomb

the differences with this coun-
try, but that he did not know
what those reasons are.
THE PRESIDENT also reaf-
firmed his intention to continue
ad-ocntine worldwide nuclear
dienrmament.
He called the use of nuclear
weanons a "horrifying pros-
pect"'that might quickly get
ot of control.
"The nation that 'uses atomic
weanons first would be tinder
heavy condemnation from the
other people of the world un-
less the circumstances were
extremely gross, ssuch as an
,nuwarranted invasion from an-
other contrv," Carter said.
REFINTNG his nosition on the

question of a Palestinian home-
land in the Middle East, Carter
said it must be tied in with
Jordan and not be an indepen-
dent state.
At the news conference, Car-
ter also said:
* There is no administration -
proposal on raising the mini-
mum wage. But he added he
does support a proposal about
to be unveiled in Congress be-
lieved to be higher than the
17.50 ceiling Carter had pre-
vioisly favored.
* U. S. and NATO forces in
Europe are adequate to stop an
invasion from the Warsaw Pact
troops, even without the use of
nuclear weapons.
* Russian eavesdropping on
telephone calls in this country
is not "an act of aggression" by
the Soviet Union. He refused to
discuss the interception of
American telephone calls in
specifics, but said efforts are
being made to insure that key
telephone lines to the White

House and Pentagon are se-
cure.
* Stood behind his administra-
tion's estimate that his energy
plan, would increase the cost of
natural eas to consumers by
$15 hillion, while deregulation
would cost 170 billion.
* Prior to the Washington visit
of Israeli Prime Minister Men-
ahem Begin later this month,
Carter's position for the estab-
lishment of a Palestinian home-
land has not changed, but he
emphasized the United States
would not impose a settlement
on the Middle East.
. The federal government
should not finance many abor-
tions for noor women, while ad-
mitting that the economic dis-
crimination in the availability
of abortions is not fair.

Liddy paroled; still silent on Watergate

(Continued from Page 1)
office Building. He and another
former White House aide, E.
Howard Hunt, recruited the five
burglars who were arrested in-
side Watergate on June 17, 1972,
during their second entry.
SUBSEQUENT White House
efforts to hide administration
links to the burglary, including
the alleged approval of the plan
by former Atty. Gen. John Mit-
chell, were behind the cover-up
that toppled Nixon and sent his
top aides to prison.
With Liddy's release, only
Mitchell and former Nixon lieu-
tenants H. R. Haldeman and
John Ehrlichman still will be
serving Watergate sentences.
Ironically, it was through the
intervention of a Democratic
President, Jimmy Carter, that
Liddy's parole eligibility was ad-
vanced from May 1981. Last
April, Carter commuted Liddy's
20-year sentence to eight years,
making him eligible for parole
any time after July 9.
"HE'S HAPPY to have a defi-
nite date," Maroulis said after
talking with Liddy, who is at
the Allenwood, Pa., federal pris-
on camp. "He's disappointed he
won't be with his children this
summer. By the time he gets
out, they will be back in
school."
Liddy's wife, Frances, said,
"I was a little disappointed that
it was as long as September,
but that's better than .October."
With the exception of 99 days
freedom, while one of his many
appeals went through the courts,
Liddy has been in prison since
the jury convicted him on Janu-
ary 30, 1973.
HIS UNWAVERING refusal to
talk about Watergate, even with
a grant of immunity from prose-
cution, caused U.S. District
Judge John Sirica to tack an
18-month contempt sentence on-
to Liddy's original sentence of
six years and eight months to
20 years.
Liddy also refused to give his
name at a congressional hearing
and got a suspended sentence
for that. In addition, he was
convicted of burglarizing the of-
fice of Daniel Ellsberg's psy-
chiatrist, but that one-to-three
year term was made concur-
rent with the main sentence.
WhnLiddy applied for a re-
duti sentence, Sirica turn
ed him down, saying be "has
no shown tecosurt teslightest
remorse or regret for his at-
ions and bas not given the court
een a hint of cotrition oa so-
IN HIS commutation order
last April 12, Carter said "the
ends of justice do not require
that the aforesaid sentence be
served in its entirety."
The President acted after his
)uns eRobert Lip hutz, grant-
Lddy's. Liddy on interview,
Liddy's petition for commutation
had been filed in the waning

days of Gerald Ford's presi-
dency.
Liddy had been characterized
as "a nut" by Nixon, who also
referred to the other burglars
as "idiots."
TRUE TO his pledge to Nix-
on's counsel, John Dean, Liddy
never broke his silence on
Watergate and even five years
after the burglary, the motives
remain untold.
Dean, however, was one -of
the first to talk and Liddy com-
mented, "I think in all fairness
to the man you'd have to put
him right up there with Judas
Iscariot." Sirica cut Dean's sen-
tence and he served only four
months.
Hunt was in prison 32 months
-and that, too, was far longer
than all the others. James Mc-
Cord, the burglary team elec-
tronics expert who cooperated
with prosecutors, was in jail two
months. The four Cuban-Ameri-

cans recruited for the burglary
by Liddy and Hunt served slight-
ly more than one year each.
Liddy is a former assistant
attorney in New York's Dutch-
ess County and was once an FBI
man. He worked on the White
House special investigations unit
known as "the plumbers" be-
fore going over to the Nixon re-
election committee.
