He then announced the recess. “We are calling this recess so the defendant may talk to his lawyers about the testimony he will give tomorrow,” Hatten said.

In an interview in the Wall Street Journal, Morgan is quoted as saying he does not think Nixon can escape impeachment and that Krogh’s “confession” will be a major factor, along with the disclosure that portions of a crucial White House tape were erased. “The tanks are coming. They’re coming right down Pennsylvania Avenue and into the Oval Office,” Morgan said in the interview, adding: “If you think 1973 was bad, wait until Christmas 1974 rolls around. You’ll think last year was a holiday.” In his syndicated column pub lished Wednesday, Anderson said Watergate prosecutors had ex pected Krogh to tie the President directly to the plumbers’ activi ties. Anderson said the expectation was based in part on testimony of former White House counsel John W. Dean III, who quoted Krogh as saying the orders for the break-in at the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist came “right out of the Oval Office.” However, Anderson said, sources with access to Krogh’s sworn statement said Krogh claimed Dean misunderstood him, and that it was the order setting up the plumbers units, not the order for the burglary, that came out of the President’s Oval Office. totality of the evidence, as the defense attorney is always say ing, it becomes necessary to enter other areas.” Will Gray, one of Henley’s law yers, said he would hope that the judge would allow testimony only about the defendant’s statements.

Morton Wednesday signed the long-awaited permit for a 789- mile, $5-billion pipeline to tap the rich oil fields of Alaska’s North Slope. “With a little cooperation from the weather man, I am optimistic that the oil of the North Slope will reach markets in the lower 48 states by 1977,” Morton said. I Bulletin Board over a three year period by what police say was a homosexual mur der-torture ring. They said Dean Arnold Corll, 33, was the leader of the ring and Henley and David Owen Brooks, 18, served as pro curers. Brooks is charged in four cases and is due for trial later. Henley shot Corll in what po lice called self defense last Aug. 8 and it was statements made by him to officers which uncovered the ring’s activities. He led au thorities to the bodies of 17 youths buried in a Houston boat stall, four near San Augustine, Tex., and six at High Island, Tex. Gray said he hopes testimony will end Thursday on his motion to suppress those statements. He will go immediately into argu ments on another motion to delay the trial of Henley for six months because of publicity growing out of the present hearing. Henley is scheduled for trial immediately after the hearing in one of the slayings. The lawyer said he plans to subpoena a number of reporters to testify in the continuance hear ing. He had earlier indicated he wanted to learn how reporters ob tained copies of a statement by Brooks implicating his client which was leaked by police. Judge Hatten, who said he probably would not rule on the suppression of confessions mo tion until Monday, indicated he may go ahead and order Henley’s trial moved to another location. Hatten said he thinks the evi- dense he would hear on the post ponement request would be simi lar to any presented on a motion to transfer the trial. Gray has resisted efforts for a venue but Hatten said that if evidence shows Henley might not receive a fair trail here, he may order the case moved. LAKE VIEW CLUB 3 Miles N.
