Sirica weighed what to do with a secret grand jury report about President Nixon's role in the scandal. Sources familiar with the investigation said Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski would follow last Friday's indictments in the Watergate cover-up with new charges touching on activities of the secret White House "plumbers" unit. Nixon acknowledged in a lengthy statement last May 22 that he had sought to keep Watergate investigators from delving into the plumbers' work, citing national security grounds.

The indictment charged the plot was conceived by the seven defendants four of whom were Nixon's closest advisers along with other persons "known and unknown" and is still continuing. While it was not known precisely what is in the secret "report and recommendation" the grand jury handed to Sirica last Friday, UPI has learned it contains information about Nixon's role in the cover-up.

The Turkish airline office said the big plane, Flight 981, left Orly airfield at 7:30 a.m. EDT for London and crashed about 10 minutes later. It hit the ground with a deafening explosion which shattered windows in villas on the rim of the forest.. The weather was sunny, cool and almost windless when the big plane climbed toward cruising altitude after takeoff. Witnesses said it banked sharply, lost altitude rapidly and nosedived to the ground in a grotestque cartwheel.

One White House aide would say only "of course we are concerned" when asked about the report. He gave no indication of any strategy the President's lawyers might adopt. Sen. Robert . C. Byrd, Democratic whip, said Sunday the indictments of former top presidential aides posed "serious implications" for President Nixon and brought the Watergate cover-up conspiracy into the Oval Office for the first time. The West Virginia senator said the indictments last Friday of seven persons "pose serious implications for the President. I-think for the first time the Watergate, coverup is brought to the oval office." Indicted Friday were the new "Watergate Seven" H.R. Haldeman, John D Ehrlichman, John N. Mitchell, Charles W.

I just said that in the '60s we had a Speaker Ban Law and it looks like in the '70s we need a Streaker Ban Law," he said. "I don't have any plans at this time for such a bill, but I really don't think the fad is doing the university system any good in the General Assembly. It will have some adverse effect," he said. Staton did say however, that if a streak is in public and violates public exposure laws, a streaker should be arrested. Ks.un!iim O by Frank Griffin Staff Writsr UNC is in the timber business, but the real profit from the operation will go to future generations in Chapel Hill, according to Walter Hamilton and Larry Trammel of the UNC Physical Plant. The University has. been cutting timber for six months on itsioOO acre tract of land near Horace Williams Airport, the initial stage of a project designed to produce a scientifically managed forest. John Temple, assistant vice chancellor of Business Affairs for the University, said the timber removed from the land was being sold on a bid basis. Part of the money received from the sale of timber will be applied to reseeding the cleared land. Temple said, while any net profit will go to student scholarships, a condition established when Horace Williams gave the land to the University. Trammel, superintendent of grounds in the Physical Plant, said a scientifically planned and managed forest has been tried at Duke and has been very successful. Trammel explained that there are two kinds of cutting being done on the University land, clear cutting and selective cutting. Clear cutting involves taking down til the trees in an area, Trammel said. The remaining stumps and brush are then bulldozed into long parallel piles called windrows and left to deteriorate. These windrows, usually about 25 feet wide, h:lp in erosion control and provide cover for wildlife. The ground is then loosened, and pine seedlings are planted on six-foot centers among the windrows. A determined Car o Una tops uke, by Michael Davis Ass't. Sports Editor Over the years at Carolina we've become very accustomed to Dean Smith's White and Blue teams, but the 1973-74 season has seen the emergence of a new, colorful band of players the Money Players or the Green Team, who can be counted upon to turn impossible victory into certain defeat. The distinction of honorary captain of the Greenies has been awarded to freshman Walter Davis, who threw in an "impossible" 30-foot bank shot at the end of regulation time to cap one of the most astounding, inconceivable comeback victories in the history of Atlantic Coast Conference basketball. It's very hard to determine at this point who were the biggest losers in the Tar Heels' miraculous 96-92 victory over Duke the Blue Devils themselves or those skeptics who left in the last minute of regulation play. Those who made an early departure missed seeing the Tar Heels eradicate an eight-point Duke lead in the final 17 seconds to set up a five-minute overtime, and a miraculous come-from-behind victory for North Carolina. In the beginning... With the Blue Devils leading 86-78 with :17 glaring down from the overhead scoreboard, Duke's Bob Fleischer fouled senior Bobby Jones who. along with teammates Joh O'Donnell, Ray Hite and Darrell Elston, was making his final appearance in Carmichael Auditorium. After a Duke timout. Jones coolly knocked in two at the foul line to cut Duke's lead to six. As the Blue Devils attempted to inbound, Walter Davis stole the ball and passed off to substitute guard John Kuester who laid the ball in, making the score 86-82 with 13 seconds remaining to be played. As the frustrated Dukes attempted to inbound again, the quick-handed Kuester knocked the ball off the leg of Duke's Tate Armstrong, allowing Jones to bang in the rebound of a misfired shot by Davis with six seconds to play, making the score 86 84. please turn to page five One hundred thirty acres on the University tract have been clear cut, Trammel said. Of these, 75 are now ready for planting. The 130 acres will be planted in Virginia Pine,' "Superior Strain No. 1," and Trammel said this tree will double or triple its size in one year's time. He added that in 10 to 12 years they will be able to clear pulp wood out of the managed forest. The area should be reseeded during M arch and part of April, Trammel said, and noted that it would require about 160,000 seedlings for the clear cut area. Blocks of the rest of the tract will be selectively thinned. Trammel said. Selective thinning means that about 35 mature trees will be left standing on each acre as seed trees. A heavy plow with a blade will then lay the brush down and also create a furrow as it weaves among the standing, trees. Then Nature itself will take care of the seeding this fall," Trammel said. He added that the University had gone to the expense of reseeding the old city landfill, also a part of this tract, two years ago this month. Twenty-eight thousand seedlings were planted there, and Trammel said as far as he knew this was one of the few efforts of this type in the state. The University's tract borders the residential section of Glenn Heights on two sides, and residents whose property lines lie along the area of selective thinning have protested the cutting. Jim and Barbara Higgins, who live on Windsor Circle, described the area as totally devastated. "They may be making a marginal amount of money, and if that's all it is, it's a shame," Jim Higgins said. "We wonder if the project is really going to benefit the community." Higgins said the University had originsJly Founded Februsry 23, 1833 Staff ptxrto by BR Mm Walter Davis m iracle planned to selectively cut within 25 feet of his property line, a thinning that would allow a 'view of the bare land from his back yard. Trammel confirmed the 25 foot buffer was the original intention but said they had agreed to move the cutting line back 100 feet from the property lines since the residents along Windsor Circle had complained. Citing a breakdown in communication, Temple said the contractor should have cut farther away from houses and property lines than he did. Trammel emphasized the amount of planning and preparation that had gone into the managed forest project and said the University did not simply decide to go in there and arbitrarily start cutting trees. "The planning for this project began in June, 1971," he said. Trammel said the stand of trees that will remain in the 100 foot area between the property lines and the managed forest might well deteriorate because the trees there have matured. "When a tree matures, it has nothing to do but decline," he said, explaining further that a tree is more susceptible to disease when it is not actively growing. If the Southern pine beetle attacks the mature trees remaining this fall. Trammel said, the University will have no recourse but to cut these infested trees immediatley. It was just such an attack in 1972 that caused the leveling of most of Battle Park. There were also several outbreaks of the beetle reported in Chapel Hill in 1973. Trammel said the University was planting this forest not so much for this generation as for future generations. "By the time your kids are 14 or 15," he said, "this place will be just beautiful." 96-92
