Gibson declines
energy post

WASHINGTON Andrew E. Gibson
will request President Ford to withdraw his
controversial nomination as federal energy
administrator in an exchange of letters to be
made public Tuesday, it was learned
Monday.
A White House official, who declined to
be identified, said that Gibson in his letter to
Ford will express regret if he caused the
President any embarrassment in the
disclosure of his severance contract with a
Philadelphia oil transport company, which
would have netted him $880,000 over a 10
year period.
The official made it clear that White
House pressure has been on Gibson to
voluntarily withdraw his nomination and to
save Ford from the embarrassment of
cancelling an appointment he . made with
such a fanfare at a news conference Oct. 29.
Despite the mounting pressure for him to
quit, Gibson had hoped to clear himself of
possible conflict of interest by taking the top
energy post while he had a tie with a top oil
company. But the White House apparently
made it clear to Gibson that his nomination
would cause a battle on Capitol Hill.
A White House spokesman said earlier
Monday that Ford had not been told about
the severance pay when he nominated
Gibson.
Deputy press secretary John Hushen said
Friday unnamed White house aides knew of
Gibson's agreement with his former oil
company, but did not inform the President
before Ford nominated him as federal
energy administrator.
Gibson has acknowledged that he will
receive $880,000 over the next 10 years from
the company he headed, but he has resisted
official pressure to withdraw his nomination
as successor to John Sawhill.
Gibson was at the White House on
Monday, as he was on Friday and Saturday,"
meeting with various officials regarding his
nomination, Hushen said.

ROME Secretary of Agriculture
Earl Butz has put his weight behind an
appeal to President Ford to pledge an
additional million tons of emergency
food aid for the world's hungry nations.
Sen. Dick Clark said Monday.
Clark, an Iowa Democrat, said that
"after some resistance" Butz signed a
telegram from the entire U.S. delegation
at the current United Nations World
Food Conference supporting Clark's
proposal for an announcement of
increased U.S. aid totaling 4.3 million
tons before the end of the fiscal year in
June.

Court won't hear Haldeman
grand jury indie tments to
plea
stand
United Press International
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court
today refused to consider arguments by
Watergate cover-up defendant H.R.
Haldeman that he and four co-defendants
were indicted illegally.
The justices declined to hear Haldeman's
appeal of lower court decisions upholding
the - indictments. TheWatergate xover-up
trial today r began ! its' sixth week in ' U .S: .
District Court.
Haldeman had contended that the
Watergate grand jury which indicted him
was illegally sitting past the normal 18
month grand jury term. He said the charges
against him should be dismissed.
The first Watergate grand jury, impaneled
on June 5, 1972, normally would have
expired Dec. 4, 1973. But Congress voted to
extend its term beyond that date and
indictments were returned March 1, 1974, in
the Watergate cover-up case.
In other Watergate developments today a
tape played in the cover-up trial revealed
that President Richard M. Nixon apparently
agreed to Haldeman's suggestion on J une 23,
1 972, to tell the FBI to stay the hell out of the
Watergate investigation.
According to transcripts prepared by the
Watergate prosecutors for the assistance of
the jury in listening to the tapes, Nixon's
chief of staff H.R. Haldeman relayed the
plan for thwarting the FBI investigation, and
Nixon responded, "Um huh."
But that response was missing from the
transcripts as released by the Nixon White
House last August.
According to the tapes, Haldeman told
Nixon in their first conversation June 23 that
Mitchell had conceived and White House
Counsel John W. Dean III had concurred in
a recommendation that the CIA tell the
FBI to halt "ah' investigation ; in Mexico '
concerning the origin of funds used to
finance the break-in.
Deputy CIA Director Vernon A. Walters
testified that the FBI had found four checks
totalling $89,000 used to finance the
break-in that had been drawn on a bank in
Mexico. . v
Walters said he, was summoned to the
White House six days after the burglary to
meet with Ehrlichman and Haldeman. He
testified Haldeman said the bugging case was
"making a lot of noise, the Democrats were
trying to maximize it and it might get worse."
He said Haldeman told him "it is the
President's wish" that Walters contact Gray
and explain that the FBI investigation might
uncover covert CIA operations in Mexico.
Walters said that in two meetings with Deanu
t he f 61 lowi ng 'weekt he r 'ggest ion. wain
made.
Walters testified that he did not know of
any such CIA activities in Mexico. He said
Dean suggested that perhaps the CIA could
pay the bail of the Watergate bugging
suspects.
Walters said he told Dean, "No way, this
would be no service to the President or the
nation."

QU ITO, Ecuador The hemispheric
conference called to end the Cuban
embargo appeared on the brink of
failure Monday with an announcement
by the United States it would abstain
from voting to end the sanctions.
The U.S. decision, relayed to Latin
American foreign ministers by U.S.
Deputy Secretary of State Robert S.
Ingersoll at a closed door meeting,
followed announcements by Haiti and
Guatemala, considered crucial swing
votes, also to abstain.
Latin American diplomats said the
U.S. decision could doom the Quito
Organization of American States
conference unless there was a last
minute compromise. Mexico is
reportedly looking for just such a
compromise, the diplomats said.
The defection of Haiti, previously
thought to favor ending the sanctions,
reduced to 12 the number of countries
expected to vote to end the 10-year-old
boycott against Cuba. At least 14 votes
are needed to get the necessary two
thirds majority to end the sanctions.
The announcement by Ingersoll that
the United States would abstain was the
first concrete statement by the U.S.
delegation since the conference began
Friday. :
;'Two major resolulionsihave:beerv
'aebated. The original one sub'mittedby
Costa Rica, Colombia and Venezuela
called flatly for ending the sanctions,
and a less precise resolution worked
Sunday would allow nations to choose
to continue the sanctions or end them.j
Both are now apparently doomed
unless revised.
The Guatemalan and Haitian foreign
ministers, however, said they were still
open to a compromise formula.
Although sanctions on Cuba are
theoretically mandatory, seven OAS
members already have economic and
political relations with the Castro
regime. .
Guatemalan Foreign Minister Adolf o
Molina delivered a hard-line speech
accusing Cuba of "grave and repeated
cases of intervention" in the internal
affairs of Paraguay, Chile, and
Uruguay, the three countries committed
to vote against lifting the sanctions.
He added that Guatemala might vote
in favor of a compromise resolution that
would "conciliate antagonistic points of
view."

at a news briefing he understood that
members of the Organization of
Petroleum Exporting Countries were
preparing a proposal for a new
institution to collect funds and direct
spending on food aid.
Martin said the institution, to be
funded by OPEC and other countries,
differed from the rerves coordinating
group proposed bv Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger litfiis keynote speech
last week in tb4t"it would be an
administrative agency rather than a
forum for exchange of information. A
commitment of oil dollars to a long term
food aid and development plan would
be a major accomplishment by the
conference.
Canada has pledged a million tons of
grain a year for three years starting in
fiscal year 1975-76 and Australia said it
would make a similar donation in
proportion to its smaller population.
The U.S. government has allocated
$990 million for 3.3 million tons of food
aid for the 1974-75 fiscal year but is
reviewing the aid on a quarterly basis to
try to avoid aggravating domestic
inflation by taking too much grain off
U.S. markets.
