WASHINGTON The Pentagon
reported Wednesday that due to wind
conditions missing balloonist Thomas L.
Gatch could be anywhere within an area
twice the size of the continental United
States ranging from the West Indies to
China.
Pentagon spokesman Jerry W. Friedheim
said aides to Gatch were in the Pentagon
Tuesday giving experts the information they
need to mount a search.
Gatch took off from Harrisburg, Pa., Feb.
J 8 to attempt the world's first trans-Atlantic
balloon voyage.
An Air Force spokesman said winds in the
mid-Atlantic were blowing -westward under
7,000 feet but eastward over 8,000 feet. '
! The Pentagort said if Gatch had stayed at
7,000 feet he could now be approaching the
West Indies, while if he stayed at 8,000 feet

WASHINGTON Justice Department
Lawyers Wednesday, held out the possibility
of a "constitutional confrontation of the
highest magnitude if President Nixon were
to withhold evidence demanded by the
Senate for an impeachment triaL
But they also concluded there is wide
support for the idea the Senate can convict a
President on any charges it sees fit, because
of the "political power it enjoys through the
lack of any constitutional provision for
judicial review of a Senate impeachment
vote.
The scenario for a historic conflict
between the President and the Senate was
contained in a summary and two additional
memoranda prepared by the department's
Office of Legal Counsel in its study of legal
Lt. C alley released
COLUMBUS, Ga. Army Lt. William L.
Calley, serving a 20-year military sentence
for murdering 22 people at My Lai, took his
case to a civilian court Wednesday and was
set free under $1,000 bond pending appeal.
Calley has been confined to his bachelor
officer quarters at Fort Benning since his
conviction in the sensational case nearly
three years ago.
He told U.S. District Judge J. Robert
Elliott he felt he could be "useful to society"
and wanted his freedom so he could work to
have his sentence set aside.
Calley, the only Army officer convicted in
the massacre at My Lai, has also filed a writ
of habeas corpus in federal court asking his
conviction be set aside. A hearing is pending.
Elliott noted in his order that "the
secretary of the Army currently has the
petitioner's sentence under review and may
order it reduced, and the President, as
commander in chief of the armed forces, has
stated that he will make a final review of the
matter and this could result in further
reduction of sentence.
"Since it is uncertain when these reviews
will be completed, the effect of this situation
is that unless released on bail it is possible
that he will be confined for a longer period
than would have been required by the terms

and historic impeachment precedents.
Nixon has invoked executive privilege,
refusing to surrender subpoenaed tapes and
documents to the Senate Watergate
committee.
"We are not aware of any impeachment
involving a federal official . . . where
executive privilege was invoked," the Justice
lawyers said.
If a President refused to provide
information Congress wanted in an
impeachment proceeding, the lawyers said,
the Chief Justice presiding over the Senate
trial might rule on the executive privilege
issue. But no matter how he ruled, they said,
"the Senate has the last word on
admissibility of evidence."
"If the President persisted in his refusal to
of his sentence as it may eventually be
reduced," Elliott ruled.
"All of these facts." he said, "lead me to
conclude that the petitioner's application for
bail should be granted."
Calley was a platoon leader in a U.S.
Army operation aimed at routing the Viet
Cong from the Vietnamese village of M y Lai.
Scores of civilians were slaughtered,
although the precise number has never been
ascertained.
Indictment expected
WASHINGTON Former White House
aide John D. Ehrlichman refused an offer to
plead guilty to one count in the Ellsberg
burglary in exchange for dropping charges
against him in the Watergate break-in, his
lawyer said Wednesday.
Ehrlichmanow expects to be indicted
probably within 48 hours on more serious
charges, the lawyer, Frank Strickler, said in
an interview.
"His feeling was that he should not plead
guilty to something he did not believe he was
guilty of," he said, adding he expects the
indictment to encompass more than the
break-in of the office of Daniel Ellsberg's
psychiatrist. Dr. Lewis Fielding.

comply, a constitutional confrontation of

said.
Attorney General William B. Saxbe, who
released a section of the study Friday and
most of the rest of it Wednesday, said it made
no judgment on the issue of executive
privilege or the proper grounds for
impeaching a President
The study, compiled under the direction of

Breakthrough seen
in Kissinger talks
JERUSALEM In a major diplomatic
triumph, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
Wednesday delivered to Israel a list of its
prisoners of war held in Syria and opened the
way for talks on disengaging the forces of the
two countries.
His success raised immediate speculation
that the Arab oil embargo against the United
States will soon be lifted.
Kissinger handed over a list of 65 names to
a grateful Prime Minister Golda Meir soon
after he arrived from talks with President
Hafez Assad of Syria.
In turn, he got assurances that he can take
back to Syria the Israeli ideas for
disengaging troops in the disputed Golan
The Israeli prisoners will be released as
part of the disengagement agreement, a high
U.S. official with the Kissinger party said.
"On March 1, we shall give Dr. Kissinger
our ideas concerning an Israeli-Syrian
separation of forces so that he personally can
pass them to the Syrian government," Mrs."
Meir said in a speech on national television.
Kissinger said Mrs. Meir had tears in her
eyes when he handed over the names written
in Arabic and the chief of staff, Lt. Gen
Daviv Elazar, wept when he was called in to
get the list.
Mrs. Meir said 62 of the names were those
of Israeli soldiers and airmen and the-others
Arab civilians.

special prosecutor Leon Jaworski and the
House Judiciary Committee, which is
investigating possible grounds for
impeaching the President.
The House committee staff has said Nixon
could be impeached by the House and tried
by the Senate for a serious abuse of the
public trust, and not simply a criminal
offense. Nixon said Monday night that
under the Constitution, "a criminal offense
on the part of the President is the
requirement."
Saxbe agreed Wednesday with Nixon's
contention that "1 do not expect to be
impeached." Saxbe put it this way:
"Anything 1 say would be a guess, but unless
they come up with something I'm not aware
of, 1 don't think he will be."
N.C. promised gas
WASHINGTON A North Carolina
legislator said Wednesday he was promised
by Federal Energy Chief William Simon that
his state will get an emergency allocation of
13 million gallons of gasoline that it was in
danger of losing before it was ever received.
Rep. James E. Ramsey, who traveled to
Washington with Rep. James C. Green of
Bladen County, conferred with Simon for
about 30 minutes in the office of Sen. Sam
Ervin, D-N.C.
Simon said after the meeting, also
attended by Rep. Richardson Preyer, D
N.C., he was aware of the severe gasoline
shortage in North Carolina and pledged to
work diligently to get the problems solved.
Ramsey said Simon admitted during the
meeting that "some of the big oil companies
are dragging their feet" in getting North
Carolina the additional 13 million gallons of
gasoline which Simon approved last week
for use during February.
Since the month is nearly over, Simon
agreed to let North Carolina have the 13
million gallons for use in March instead of
having the unused portion "revert" as was
originally intended, Ramsey said.
