ean testifies that Mitchell
as supposed to admit guilt
-WASHINGTON (AP) —John W.
lean III testified Monday that he
I dother senior White House aides
Icided in March 1973 that to solve
I e ir Watergate problems, John N.
I itchell would have to admit his
I ill for the break-in at the Democ-
Itic National Committee.
I Dean said on his fourth day on the
Ijtness stand at the Watergate
l iver . u p trial that the idea lapsed
I hen neither H. R. Haldeman nor
Ifon D. Ehrlich man proposed to
I itchell that he take blame as plan-
I ^1
I Mitchell, a former attorney gen-
I al, Haldeman and Ehrlichman are
I no'ng five defendants at the trial.
I Dean said a meeting on March
22 1973, was called where either
Ihrlichman or Haldeman was to
liggest that Mitchell "step forward
I id account for activities prior to
me 17.”
The original Watergate burglars
ere caught at Democratic National
ommittee Headquarters on June
1,1972.
In answer to questions from pro-
;cutor James F. Neal, Dean tes-
fied that he and other White
louse officials were hopeful “that
ould eliminate investigation ofac-
vities after June 17.”
Earlier, Dean testified that he
ad proposed on March 21 that
(itchell “admit his guilt” for the
reak-in.
Meanwhile, the jury heard a sixth
Vhite House tape in which former
Resident Richard M. Nixon de
clares on the afternoon of March 22,
“We’re going to protect our people!
if we can. ”
The jurors heard Nixon say in a
flat emotionless tone to Mitchell:
I want you all to stonewall it, let
them plead the Fifth Amendment,
cover up or anything else, if it’ll save
it—save the plan. That’s the whole
point.”
William G. Hundley, Mitchell’s
lawyer, had earlier made an unsuc
cessful attempt to bar the jury from
hearing portions of the March 22
tape, on grounds that Dean was pre
sent for only part of the meeting it
records.
U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica,
however, denied that effort, allow
ing Dean from the stand to say that
no one entered or left Nixon’s Ex
ecutive Office Building office once
Nixon and Mitchell continued a
meeting only among themselves.
After the 15th day of the trial.
Dean was scheduled to return
Tuesday for more prosecution ques
tioning, expected to last 1V6 hours.
In addition to Dean’s testimony
Monday, the jury heard a fifth
White House tape in which Nixon
talks at a meeting with Haldeman,
Dean and Ehrlichman about how to
handle the various Watergate inves
tigations, which were growing
closer and closer to the White
House.
The tape records a late afternoon
March 21, 1973, meeting at which
Dean proposes that White House
aides be immunized from prosecu
tion and then go before a grand jury.
Although the meeting ends in
conclusively, Nixon and Ehrlich
man oppose Dean’s idea in favor of
sending Dean to write a general re
port which they hope will satisfy
Watergate investigators.
On the tape, previously made
public by the House Judiciary
Committee, Haldeman cautions
that immunizing White House aides
from prosecution would result in “a
hue and cry from White House cri
tics who would say this is just a
super cover-up.’ ”
Lawyers for Mitchell sought to
block the jury from hearing portions
of the final White House tape to be
introduced in connection with
Dean’s testimony.
In the tape, also released by the
Judiciary Committee, Nixon orders
Mitchell on March 22, 1973, to
“stonewall” Watergate investiga
tions.
Mitchell’s lawyer, William Hund
ley, objected to the tape’s being
admitted as evidence on grounds
that while Dean is present for part of
the meeting, the tape records he
was out of the room for the portion
which includes the “stonewall”
order.
Hundley’s challenge is expected
to be the first of several in which
defense lawyers will seek to prevent
White House tapes from being
played for the jury unless they are
legally verified and authenticated.
buying budget beef
Lonsumers
AMARILLO, Tex. (AP) — Call it
iaby beef, budget beef or thrifty
ieef, but by whatever name it’s not
he rich, marbled, grain fed beef
hat Americans have come to know
md cherish.
But consumers, distraught by es-
:alating beef prices, are buying
t—and it’s having a profound affect
m the cattle feeding industry.
That's the word from Glenn Dean
if Duma, Tex., president of the
Texas Cattle Feeders Association
which opened its annual convention
here Monday.
“We learned that consumers will
accept non-fed beef although you
and I have been slow to admit it,”
Dean told the cattlemen.
“The chain stores have fancy
names for it—baby beef, budget
beef, thrifty beef, grass-fat beef and
the like. You and I know that it isn’t
as desirable as grain-fed beef but we
have seen that consumers will buy it
at a price. ”
And this, he added, points to a
new trend in cattle feeding-shorter
beef.
“Grain will be in short supply and
high priced for some time, it ap
pears. So we have no alternative but
to grow cattle to heavier weights on
grass, then feed them more
roughage, less grain and for shorter
periods in the feed yards,” he said.
Dean had both good news and
bad news for the group saying “We
have experienced the longest
period of losses—13 months—in
cattle feeding history, and we re not
out of the woods yet. It likely will
take another year or more before
our numbers get adjusted in line
with demand and we can begin
another sustained period of reason
able profits.”
But, he added, “All is not dark for
the feeding industry. We still have a
growth industry. People still prefer
beef and are still buying it.
“Our near record kills in recent

weeks prove that. I predict that the

pounds by 1984.
“If so, that will be a 10 percent
increase in 10 years which isn’t
bad.”

1972-73.
State appropriations and agencies accounted for nearly $17 million of
