WASHINGTON <^P)—The Sen-
p completed congressional ac-
ion Tuesday on a measure re-
uijing President Nixon to sub
mit to Congress by Feb. 10 a list
rail federal funds impounded
ince last July 1-
It sent the measure to the
Vhite House for Nixon’s signa-
ure.
tfhe provision on impounded
unds was added to the usually
autine resolution giving Nixon
, x tia time, in this case until
n. 29, to submit his budget to
Congress.
Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va.,
originally sought to require the
list by Jan. 29 but revised the date
to Feb. 5 when the Senate con
sidered the matter on Jan. 6. The
House Monday amended it to read
Feb. 10, and the Senate by voice
vote accepted that amendment
Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Sen. Sam J. Ervin
Jr., D-N.C., introduced a bill to
prohibit the President from im
pounding appropriated funds
without the approval of Congress.
Watergate Break-In Justified, Says Lawyer
WASHINGTON </P)—A defense
attorney said Tuesday he will at
tempt to show the Watergate
break-in and bugging was moti
vated by concern that potentially
dangerous groups planned vio
lence to Republican officials in
cluding President Nixon.
Gerald Alch, attorney for James
W. McCord Jr., questioned a wit
ness closely about whether he had
seen any members of various anti
war groups in the campaign head
quarters of Democrat George S.
McGovern.
McCord and G. Gordon Liddy
are the two remaining defend
ants in the trial involving a
break-in June 17 at the Demo
cratic National Committee head
quarters.
“If one is under a reasonable
apprehension — regardless of
whether that apprehension is in
fact correct,” Alch said outside
the courtroom, “he is justified in
breaking a law to avoid great
harm, which in this case would
include violence against Republi
can officials, including the Presi
dent.”
Cross-examining Thomas Greg
ory, a 25-year-old Brigham Young
University student who said he
was planted as a spy in the head
quarters of McGovern and Sen.
Edmund Muskie, Alch said:
“Were you present at McGov
ern headquarters at the time of
these demonstrations during the
month of May 1972: at Capitol
Hill, at the Rayburn Building,
Dupont Circle and Andrews Air
Force Base?”
A. I don’t know, sir.
Q. Did you see in McGovern
headquarters any members of the
Vietnam Veterans Against the
War?
A. I don’t think so, sir.
Q. Do you know any members
of the Vietnam Veterans against
the War?
A. No, sir.
Alch said outside the courtroom
that the attempt to ferret out in-

cipient demonstrations was a key
to his defense of McCord.
McCord was security coordina
tor for the Committee for the Re-
election of the President on June
17 when he was arrested in the
Watergate building. Liddy — not
apprehended inside but charged
with the burglary—was counsel
for Nixon’s campaign finance
committee.
Alch said he will attempt to
show that potentially violent
groups were supporting the Dem
ocrats who were being spied upon
and were in contact with the
groups.
Frank A. Sturgis, Euginio R.
Martinez, Virgilio R. Gonzalez,
and Bernard L. Barker, all from
Miami, pleaded guilty Monday to
breaking into the headquarters
and planting devices to intercept
oral and wire communications.
The seventh defendant, E. How
ard Hunt Jr., pleaded guilty last
week. All are awaiting sentenc
ing.
Ridestop Is
Alternative For
Hitch-Hikers
EUGENE, Ore. AFS — Urban
planning students at the Univer
sity of Oregon are organizing a
hitch-hiking system which may
btecome a prototype for other
college communities throughout
the U.S. It’s an efficiently
planned routing system, providing
sites where students may wait
for motorists to pick them up.
Students have proposed 32 ini
tial sites which were chosen for
convenience and for safety of
passenger and driver. “RideStop”
signs, designed by a Graphics
student, are to be placed at these
locations.
“What we're really trying to
do,” a coordinator of the project
explained, “is create an additional
option of transportation, primari
ly geared for students.”
RideStop was recently funded
by a grant of $735 from the uni
versity; a matching grant is ex
pected from a local community
college which is included in the
program. The approximate cost
is about five cents per student.
The plan has been endorsed by
many civic groups including the
Lane Council of Government, the
Transit District, City Councils of
Eugene and Springfield, and the
League of Women Voters. Ride-
Stop is strictly legal, because
riders wait on the curb. If Ride-
Stop succeeds, the plan can be
easily adapted to other areas.
Currently, hitchhikers depend
upon the goodwill of the drivers.
In Poland, a driver-incentive pro
gram called the Auto Stop plan
has been used. The hitcher buys
a book of coupons for the equiva
lent of about $2, and rewards the
driver with a numbered coupon
which may win a Polski Fiat, or
other substantial prize. Each book
is worth a thousand miles of rides
to the buyer, and for each 500,000
books sold, there’s a million dol
lars available for prizes. This sys
tem originated in 1958 when they
had less than a million vehicles in
the Polish People’s Republic, for
a population of around 30 million.
