Dean:
WASHINGTON (UPI) - John
W. Dean 111 says he believes
President Nixon did not tell the
truth this spring when Nixon
denied complicity in the cover
up of the Watergate affair.
Sen. Joseph M. Montoya, D-
N.M., pinned down Nixon’s
former White House counsel on
the point Tuesday as the Senate
Watergate Committee for the
second day examined its star
witness before a national
television audience.
Montoya read from Nixon’s
April 17 statement in which the
President said, “I condemn any
attempts to cover up this case,
no matter who is involved.”
“Do you believe he was
telling the truth?” Montoya
asked.
Dean paused. “No, sir,” he
said.
Nixon, who is in San
Clemente, Calif., is refusing to
comment on Dean’s testimony.
Aides said Nixon was not
watching the televised
hearings. One spokesman said
Nixon’s mood was “very good.”
Will Match Statements
Dean, 34, acknowledged his
account cannot be reconciled
with Nixon’s. He said he is
willing to match his statements
against the statements of others
in lie detector tests.
“I’m very concerned about
your credibility and whether it
will be sustained or whether the
President’s will be sustained,”
said Montoya.
Dean replied, “I realize the

‘I started swimming the other way’
implications when I speak
about the President but I have
only one ally and that’s the
truth.”
He said it dawned on him
that while the cover-up story
born in frantic haste in June,
1972 had survived the election,
it was bound to come apart.
While he was courting his
wife, Maureen, Dean said he
told her that “somewhere down
the road it’s going to be a tough
situation.”
“At some point I realized it
was the end of the line,” he
said. “I just couldn’t continue
it. I started swimming the
other way.”
Offers His Account
He said he went to the
federal prosecutors and offered
to give his account of the cover
up. At the same time, Dean
said he met regularly with
Nixon and implied to the
President that he should put the
full story before the American
people, too.
Nixon did not take his
suggestion, Dean said. He
implied Nixon did not even
understand what he was getting
at.
At one meeting in March, he
said:
“I just kept shaking my head.
The President kept saying, ‘Do
you agree with that?’ I said
“No.’ And then I said there was
reason to believe that Ehrlich
man, Haldeman and Dean were
indictable.
“I felt I had not gotten the
message I was attempting to
convey through to the Presi
dent.”
Nixon defended H. R. Hal
deman, his chief of staff, and
John D. Ehrlichman, his
domestic adviser, in the April
30 television speech in which he
blamed Watergate on overzeal
ous underlings. Dean was
removed from office that day,
too.
Efforts to Discredit
Since April 30, Dean said,
there have been steady efforts
to discredit him.
He listed some: A planted
rumor that he abandoned his
wife and ran off with a
beautiful foreign girl; a charge
that he had accepted SIOO,OOO in
secret campaign funds; private
investigators poking around
stores where he shops; inqui
ries at his bank; questioning of
friends and neighbors; a
planted newspaper story that
he wanted immunity out of fear
his boyish looks would invite
homosexual attacks if he were
ever imprisoned.
All are “absurdities,” he
said.
In other aspects of his
testimony, Dean said:
—He never gave a moment’s
thought to telling the truth at
the start When he returned to
the White House from a trip to
Asia June 19, 1972, two days
after the break-in had occurred,
he “inherited” a cover-up
already under way to prevent
disclosure of high-level invol-
ilk. B

—When he drew up a list of

cover-up, it numbered 15—and
he was surprised at how many
potential defendants held law
