Judge orders Ford videotape Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A federal judge reaffirmed Tues day his order that President Ford give a videotape state ment in the trial of Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme. Adminis tration officials said the state ment would be given later this week. U.S. District Court J udge Thomas MacBride rejected a prosecution request to limit Ford’s testimony to written statements. Miss Fromme, 27, is charged with attempting to murder Ford as he walked through Capitol Park here Sept. 5. She wants the President to counter testimony that a click was heard when she pointed a gun at him. . The office of presidential SHUGART COUPON sbei Want more rather than less for a change?

The office ruled out the pos sibility that Ford would give the statement while he is in California to make political appearances on Wednesday and Thursday, as MacBride sug gested he might. A Justice Department spokes man said there was no appeal to MacBride’s order, “and the next thing to do is to work out details as to how the President will accede to the court order.” “We think it is a precedent of some concern, but we’re sat isfied with the judge’s ruling,” the spokesman added. Earlier in San Francisco, an other federal judge entered an innocent plea for Sara Jane Moore, also charged with try ing to kill Ford. The plea was entered despite the strong ob jections of her lawyers and her trial was set for Dec. 15. MacBride said the question ing of Ford by Miss Fromme’s co-counsel, John Virga, would be “rather limited.” “Did he hear a click or didn’t he?” MacBride said. “Did he hear Miss Fromme say any thing?” U. S. Atty. Dwayne Keyes fought against requiring the unprecedented videotape testi mony from Ford on grounds it would be too spectacular and would encourage future assassi nation attempts. Keyes said he has been informed the Presi dent “will obey any lawful or der.” Miss Fromme, a follower of convict ed mass murderer Charles Manson, has been or dered to stand trial starting next Tuesday. Miss Fromme was arrested after a Secret Service agent said he wrestled a .45-caliber pistol from her hand two feet from the President outside the Capi tol. Officials say her gun did not fire and there have been conflicting reports on whether the trigger was pulled. Mrs. Moore was arrested Sept. 22 outside the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco after a shot was fired at the President. In San Francisco, Chief Pub lic Defender James Hewitt, in a 15-minute arraignment marked by a sharp exchange with the judge, repeatedly insisted no plea be entered until psychi atric tests are completed to determine whether Mrs. Moore is competent to stand trial. U. S. District Court Judge Samuel Conti, citing require ments of the 1974 Speedy Trial Act, swept aside all objections. He said the trial would begin as scheduled unless she were found mentally incompetent. Conti later agreed to Hew itt’s request that Mrs. Moore, 45, be allowed to attend a closed juvenile court custody hearing in San Francisco Thursday concerning her 10- year-old son, Frederick Aal- berg. He is currently living in a foster home in the Bay area with a friend of his mother’s. Mrs. Moore, who told police after her arrest she was wor ried about being late to pick up her son from school, will then be returned to San Diego to complete her psychiatric tests.

HALSELL Dodge-Chrysler Dodge Trucks 1411 Texas 823-8111 Bryan’s No. 1 CORDOBA Dealer Hewitt told Judge Conti: “I cannot prepare this case in 90 days.” Snapped the judge, “You’re going to prepare the case with in 90 days. If you have any argument, give it to Congress.” The Speedy Trial Act went into effect Sept. 29, seven days after the divorcee allegedly fired the shot at Ford. The law requires that for a person held without bond a trial must be gin within 90 days after arrest. Judge Conti set Nov. 17 for a competency hearing which he said will include appearances by three three psychiatrists who have been examining Mrs. Moore at the San Diego Metro politan Correctional C e n te r . Conti said he expected to have the test results by Nov. 11. The indictment against Mrs. Moore was disclosed by Conti on Friday. It had been sealed at the request of Chief Asst. U.S. Atty. F. Steele Langford, who said the judge decided to start proceedings immediately because of the new 7 law. Mrs. Moore was brought to the San Mateo County Jail in Redwood City last Saturday, where she was lodged in a maximum security cell a few feet from newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst.
