Friday. April 19, 1974
WASHINGTON The chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee Thursday
rejected a White House compromise
suggestion and said anything less than full
compliance with the panel's subpoena of
presidential tapes could be grounds for
impeachment.
Later, after Rep. Peter W. Rodino Jr., D
N. J., stated the impeachment panel's
position, a subpoena directing President
Nixon to supply Watergate investigators
with tapes and other evidence covering
approximately five dozen White House
conversations was served on Nixon's chief
lawyer.
U.S. District Judge John W. Sirica, acting
upon the request of Watergate special
prosecutor Leon Jaworski, directed Nixon
to answer the new subpoena by 10 a.m. EDT
May 2. Jaworski said the materials, which
the White House has refused to hand over,
were needed for use in the Watergate
coverup trial that is due to begin Sept. 9.
Discussing the subpoena his House
committee sent Nixon earlier, Rodino
rejected the suggestions of White House
officials thast the tapes be censored by the
President or his aides before they are given to
the impeachment inquiry panel. .
"We have issued a subpoena," Rodino
said in a television interview. "It's necessary
that the White House comply because it's in
the interest of answering a nagging question
that is before the American people.
"Unless this is done, it is going to be
considered by the committee as a refusal on
the part of the White House and could be
considered as a possible crime of
impeachment.
Jaworski. frustrated by White House
refusal to provide requested evidence for the
Watergate coverup trial asked Sirica on
Tuesday to authorize a subpoena to obtain
the evidence.
At that time, Jaworski said the materials
were necessary "either as evidence which the
government would seek to offer in itscaseor
which might be helpful to one or more of the
defendants."
Seven former high White House or Nixon
campaign officials have been indicted for
plotting to hush up the bugging scandal.
It will be the second subpoena Jaworski
has served on Nixon. The President, who has
repeatedly said' he has already provided
Jaworski with enough evidence to prosecute
his case, complied with the first Jaworski
subpoena at the last moment.
The material Jaworski seeks includes tape
recordings, memoranda and other
documents of 64 meetings or telephone
conversations Nixon had with his top aides
between June 20. 1972 just three days
after the break-in at Democratic
headquarters at the Watergate and June
4, 1973.

'Zebra' suspects sought
Starts denied mistrial
NEW YORK Former Commerce
Secretary Maurice H. Stans testified
Thursday at his conspiracy trial that "On my
oath, 1 never did anything to help Robert
Vesco in any way." He then asked
unsuccessfully for a mistrial on ground that a
Watergate committeeman was in the
courtroom.
Stans' attorney, Walter J. Bonner, made
the mistrial motion on grounds that "a
member of the Watergate Committee is
sitting here" and that Watergate-related
questions were being deliberately asked
under cross-examination to influence the
jury.
Federal Judge Lee P. Gagliardi said, "You
point is timely taken," but the motion was
denied.
Renewed contact
with Cuba seen
WASHINGTON In its first gesture of
possible reconciliation with Cuba since
diplomatic relations were broken 13 years
ago, the United States abondoned Thursday
its total opposition to any hemispheric
consultations with the Fidel Castro
government.
Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger
agreed to a Mexican proposal for a survey of
all hemispheric governments on whether to
invite a Cuban delegate to the next informal
conference of Latin-American and
Caribbean foreign ministers in Buenos Aires
late this year or early in 1975.
- The proposal, supported by Argentina,
Peru and Venezuela, was accepted without
discussion on the second day of a two-day
conference of 24 hemispheric foreign
ministers at the State Department.
Executive assistant U.S. attorney John W.
Rayhill later said the man in question was a
member of special Watergate prosecutor
Leon Jaworski's staff but did not identify
him further.
Stans flatly denied that he had conspired
with co-defendant former Attorney General
John N. Mitchell to impede a federal
investigation of Vesco's financial
manipulations in return for a secret $200,000
cash contribution to President Nixon's 1972
reelection campaign.
Prosecutor John R. Wing questioned
Stans about a so-called $350,000 cash-in-hand
fund, which included the Vesco
contribution that was deposited in a bank in
1972.
Without actually saying so, the inference
was that the money had been deposited to
cover the $350,000 withdrawn earlier that
year by then White House aide H.R.
Haldeman, for a so-called "polling fund."
Stans said that his treasurer, Hugh Sloan,
had set up the $35,000 fund and he had
nothing to do with it.
Bar considers
expelling Nixon
NEW YORK The New York City Bar
Association announced Thursday it was
looking into the possibility of bringing
disbarment proceedings against President
Nixon.
John Bonomi, head of the association's
committee on discipline, said the bar was
scrutinizing the legal propriety of the
President's actions in Watergate, the
Ellsberg burglary and illegal campaign
contributions.
SAN FRANCISCO Police stopped,
questioned and searched hundreds of young
blacks Thursday in a hunt for "Zebra"
suspects in San Francisco's 18 random street
shootings since November 12 of them
fatal.
One hundred fifty officers, organized in
special teams, were deployed in six zones of
the city where the slayings occurred.
The officers carried composite drawings
of the killer, or one of the killers, presenting
him as a black between 5 feet 9 inches and 6
feet tall, of slender medium build with a
moustache, and frequently wearing a watch
cap.
Robert Brooks, 23, attired in a long black
coat and a knit hat while waiting for a bus,
said he was spotted by plainclothes men and
interrogated in their car for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, traffic and other checks were
conducted on him by radio.
"Wow," said Brooks, a private security
guard, "one of the first things I'm going to do
is get rid of this knit cap."
Mayor Joseph L. Aliotosaid the "stop and
search" tactic has no parallel in San
Francisco history, but "this is an
extraordinary situation and it calls for
extraordinary measures."
In all the shootings the assailants were
black and the victims white. The shootings,
all without apparent motive, occurred after
dark and before 10 p.m. In all the fatal
shootings, one of two .32 caliber pistols was
used, according to ballistics tests.
The latest victim, Nelson Shields I V. 23, of
Greenville, Del., was killed Tuesday night by
three .32 caliber slugs in the back while
rearranging lacrosse equipment in back of a
station wagon in front of a friend's house.

Warplanes battle over Mount Hermon
BEIRUT The Israeli-Syrian warfare escalated Thursday. Both sides threw
warplanes into the fighting for strategic Mount Hermon and elsewhere on the Golan
Heights where tank and artillery forces dueled for the 38th consecutive day.
It was the first report of action by the Soviet-equipped Syrian air force since last
October's war.
There was no mention of air battles but a communique issued in Damascus said
Syrian air defenses shot down an Israeli Phantom jet fighter-bomber.
Record hashish shipment seized
WASHINGTON U.S. and Bahamian officials have seized $15.5 million worth of
hashish largest recorded seizure in the Western Hemisphere from a disabled
freighter off the Florida coast, it was announced Thursday.

bound from Morocco to the United States with the hashish as its only cargo.
