Nixon's inability to testify at the trial of his four aides convicted in the Watergate cover-up does not give the defendants a right to a new trial, prosecutors argued Wednesday. - Answering appeals briefs by the four former Nixon aides convicted in the cover-up, Watergate prosecutors said there was no evidence the former president would give testimony favorable to the defendants. The brief was filed in the U.S. District Court of Appeals where former Attorney General John N. Mitchell, his deputy Robert S. Mardian and top White House aides H.R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman are appealing their convictions. Mitchell, Haldeman and Ehrlichman were sentenced to 2'i to 8 years for conspiracy, obstruction of justice and lying to investigators and Mardian was sentenced to 10 months to 3 years for conspiracy. Rejecting the appeal arguments of the four, the prosecutors said Nixon was not a necessary witness at the trial, that there was no pre trial publicity which prejudiced the jury, and that Judge John J. Sirica properly allowed the use of White House tapes as evidence. "There had been no concrete showing that Mr. Nixon's testimony would be favorable and his testimony could only have been cumulative of other evidence (the tapes) in the record," the prosecutors said. "The conclusion is inescapable that the jury was unbiased and that the convictions were based solely upon the overwhelming evidence properly admitted at the trial." Limousine crash investigated WASHINGTON The White House Wednesday ordered the Secret Service to explain how President Ford's limousine crashed with another auto in Hartford, Conn., Tuesday night, and police in Washington began using sirens to clear Ford's way through traffic. nf thp Hartfnrd collision between Ford's Lincoln limousine and a 1967 Buick holding six teenagers. Press Secretary Ron Nessen told a White House briefing Chief of Staff Donald Rumsfeld "has asked the Secret Service twice to send a report here to explain how this could have happened." In Hartford, police officials said they neglected to have officers manning the intersection where Ford': motorcade zipped through a red light as the yellow Buick came through, smushing into the President's $500,000, heavily plated and bulletproof limousine, damaging its right front fender. Ford escaped injury but Connecticut Republican State Chairman Frederick K. Biebel, seated next to the President, suffered a broken hand. None of the occupants of the other car whose front end was pushed far back were hurt. Hartford police released the Buick driver, James Salamites, 19. Meriden, Conn., after questioning and an alcohol test. A spokesman indicated no charges would be filed against him. "This could only happen in Hartford," said Police Chief Hugh Masini, a former high-ranking official with the New York City Police Department.
