“We are calling this recess so

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.

Oil pipeline

WASHINGTON <A>> _ Secre

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.

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.
