Sirica Thursday declared Richard,, M. Nixon's secret tapes to be proper evidence in the Watergate cover-up trial, overriding defense objections that they were illegal wiretaps and thus inadmissible. In a brief courtroom statement, Sirica ruled that the prosecutors had laid sufficient foundation to admit the 26 tapes, which include Nixon's White House conversations between June 23, 1972, six days after the Watergate bugging arrests, through April 26, 1973, as the alleged cover-up began to unravel. They are expected to be introduced beginning Monday in the trial of five men charged with attempting to cover up high . level involvement in the break-in and bugging of Democratic national headquarters June 17, 1972. In a last-ditch effort to keep the tapes away from the jury, attorneys for defendant H.R. Haldeman tried the surprise tactic of arguing that federal law prohibits fruits of illegal wiretaps as evidence. Since the prosecution has offered no evidence that any of the participants in the conversations gave their consent to being taped, Haldeman lawyer Frank J. Strieker argued, the tapes thus are illegal interceptions of wire and oral communications and must be ruled . inadmissible. It was an argument never before raised in the case, but it carried no weight with Sirica. I think you have a different situation," he said. "These tapes that are being offered . . . were made at the direction of the . President and kept in the general course of business... "My ruling is very simple. I don't think Congress intended that statute to apply in a situation such as we have in this case." The prosecution has already played six White House tapes as evidence, but these all ' 8 TTTV nsoJiflvnamn m O TI i(Qi: involved former White House counsel John W. Dean III as a participant and were played when he was on the stand and could vouch t for them. The remaining tapes involve participants who cannot be called as government witnesses primarily Nixon, Haldeman and Ehrlichman and so the prosecution had to lay an elaborate legal foundation for their introduction. There seemed to be.little doubt that Sirica soon will order a three-man team of physicians to go to California to examine the former president and report back whether he is indeed sick enough to be excused from testifying at the trial. Nixon's lawyers relayed the latest medical report on their client to Sirica through a sworn affidavit Thursday morning. It said Nixon's recent surgery and subsequent post operative complications could have resulted in a terminal event and have left him so weak he cannot undergo strain for at least two to three months without a serious danger to his health. A. recap rare cnty A . - JLC JlJL It it nun sioinm o ii A VlllL by Alberto Zuazo Nathes United Press International LA PAZ President Hugo Banzer marched into the city of Santa Cruz Thursday with a force of paratroopers and recaptured it from rebel army forces who had revolted against the government earlier in the day, the National Radio reported. Rebel broadcasts said the insurgents had seized control of Santa Cruz in a morning rebellion. There were no immediate details on the fighting to regain the captured city, 540 miles southeast of La Paz. A government communique said rebels fought government troops at Montero, a small town 30 miles north of Santa Cruz. Banzer first flew from La Paz to Cochabamba, where he rallied a corps of loyalist paratroopers and flew with them to the outskirts of the rebel-held city that was seized in the morning, the state radio said With the aid of planes, air force cadets," and loyal troops in Cochabamba and Santa Cruz, Banzer led the march on the rebel-held city and crushed the uprising, the official broadcast said. A government communique blamed the revolt on dissident members of the 12th infantry regiment and the American-trained antiguerrilla Rangers, who only three years ago spearheaded a revolt that brought Banzer to power. He formed a right-of-- center government that replaced the leftist repine of Gen. Juan Jose Torres Dissident members of two political parties supporting Banzer, the National Revolutionary Movement and the Bolivia Socialistic Falange, backed the rebels, the communique said. Rebel radio stations in Santa Cruz contained broadcasting throughout the morning, claiming the uprising had seized public buildings in the city. The rebels said leaders of the rebellion were Carlos Vaherde, a former Banzer cabinet interior minister, and retired Gen. Julio Prado. Gen. Prado is the father of Maj. Gary Prado, who led an abortive coup against Banzer in La Paz June 5. The younger Prado also headed the military unit which captured and killed guerrilla leader Ernesto "Che Guevara in 1967. FEA head chosen without study Wrong vote costs deputy his job United Press International CHARLOTTE Mecklenburg County Sheriff Donald Stahl Wednesday fired one of his deputies for voting against him in Tuesday's elections, then fired a second because he questioned the dismissal. ' Stahl, who narrowly defeated Democrat John Kelly Wall in the elections, said today that he first called Deputy Sam McCollum over and told him he had heard that McCollum voted a straight Democratic ticket. Stahl is a Republican. He said he did and so I told him, 'Well, you're fired,"' said Stahl. "You know, I can't imagine a man admitting that to the man he's supposed to be supporting 100 per cent . . . that's what really bothers me that he would admit such a thing." Later in the day, Deputy Ray Crist questioned the dismissal and he, too, was fired. Stahl said he met with deputies about six weeks ago and told them he expected 100 per cent support from them and "If they couldn't do that they were to leave then so there wouldn't be any hard feelings. "When anybody works for a political candidate, he owes his loyalty to the man he is working for and if he can't support him and work for him he ought to leave," said Stahl. by Richard E. Lerner United Press International WASHINGTON President Ford chose Andrew E. Gibson to head the Federal Energy Administration without normal advance background investigations so that he could take over the job as fast as possible, the Wfyite House disclosed Wednesday. Presidential Press Secretary Ron Nessen also said that Ford, who selected Gibson to replace John Sawhill at the FEA on Oct. 29, now has ordered a full field study including an FBI inquiry before sending the nomination to the Senate for confirmation hearings when Congress returns Nov:" 18" from an election recess. But Nessen said that "as far as I know, the President still intends to nominate Mr. Gibson." Nessen's announcements came, after the New York Times reported that Gibson, 52, was awarded a severance contract for SI million over the next 10 years when he resigned last May as president- of the Interstate Oil Transport Company. Gibson had been with that Philadelphia firm Only 1 6 months and, at about the same time that he left, the company became closely affiliated with the Cities Service Oil Company. Nessen said that the President was aware of the arrangements, although he declined to say whether Ford knew about them when he decided to give the top energy post to Gibson. "Because of the urgency in finding a replacement for John SawhilL the usual background checks were waived," the White House spokesman said. "Before the nomination is sent to the Senate these checks will be completed." Nessen was asked repeatedly Thursday why the President found it necessary to move so quickly in replacing Sawhill. He provided no details, saying only that it's an important position and Ford wanted somebody filling it. Gibson, 52, was head of the Maritime Administration under President Richard M. Nixon.
