Watergate
Palm Sunday was
beginning of end
By JANE DENISON
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Palm Sunday weekend of 1973
marked the beginning of the end for Richard M. Nixon.
That’s when he finally realized with growing despair that
the cracks in the Watergate dikes were widening and he
was about to be engulfed by the tide.
“What in the name of Christ is this all about?” he asked
John D. Ehrlichman in some bewilderment near midnight
on April 14 last year.
But the President quickly answered his own question:
“Well, what it involves, of course, we have to be fair, it
involves, uh, the highest...”
“The king of the mountain,” Ehrlichman suggested.
“The king of the mountain,” Nixon agreed softly.
Those words were missing when Nixon, claiming to tell
die full Watergate story for once and for all, released
transcripts of his secret tapes last April. But they were
there for the jury to hear Wednesday at the cover-up trial
of five former Nixon aides.
Ehrlichman is among them, along with John N.
Mitchell, H. R. Haldeman, Robert C. Mardian and
Kenneth W. Parkinson.
Four final tapes —none of which have ever been made
public even in transcript form —were to be played for the
jury today as the prosecution nears the end of its case in
the eighth week of the trial.
The jurors have been hearing little but tapes all this
week and on Wednesday they were taken back in time to
the weekend of April 14-17,1973 to hear for themselves on
nine separate recordings how the Nixon White House was
responding to the deepening crisis.
In quick succession that weekend —which started,
ironically, on a Friday the 13th — these jarring
developments occurred, though none were made public
until months later:
—Mitchell, the former attorney general and Nixon cam
paign manager, refused to buckle to White House pres
sures that he take full blame for the scandal.
— Jeb Stuart Magruder, Mitchell’s deputy at the 1972
Nixon campaign, ended months of perjury by going to the
prosecutors with his story of the bugging.
—John W. Dean HI, then the White House counsel, who
had played a key role in the coverup, also began
cooperating with the government.
Nixon saw the handwriting on the wall as soon as
Ehrlichman reported Saturday afternoon that Mitchell
not only would not shoulder the responsibility but also had
“lobbed, uh, mud balls at the White House at every
opportunity.”
It only got worse when Ehrlichman reported the bad
news about Magruder two hours later.
Nixon exploded there was no use “dragging the
thing out” any longer.
“The thing to do now is have the ,” done,” he
told Haldeman and Ehrlichman with some bitterness.
“Indict Mitchell and all the rest and there’ll be a
horrible two weeks —a terrible, terrible scandal, worse
than Teapot Dome and so forth.”
By 11 o’clock that Saturday night, Nixon was in a
fighting mood again. He suggested in a phone call to
Haldeman, his chief of staff, that all involved in raising
money for the Watergate burglars “have got to stick to
their line that they did not raise this money to obstruct
justice.”
On Palm Sunday, Nixon got the news from Dean himself
that he had begun to cooperate with the government. As
Nixon put it to Haldeman and Ehrlichman Monday
morning, Dean had “decided to save his ...” and it was
time to fire him.

Auto jobless number grows
DETROIT (UPI) — The auto industry’s unemployment
roll swelled by another 1,100 today amid reports Chrysler
Corp, is preparing to announce another deep manpower
cut —this time in its white collar ranks.
The latest layoff word came from General Motors
Corp., which said Wednesday that it will idle 1,100 workers
at its Delco Remy Division Plant in Anderson, Ind.
A United Auto Workers executive said Chrysler, which
already has announced it will raise its layoff total to 70,000
before Thanksgiving, plans to idle about 10,000 unionized
clerical workers.
Chrysler spokesmen said they could neither confirm nor
deny the report.
Douglas A. Fraser, the UAW vice president in charge of
the union’s Chrysler department, said “a great, great
majority” of the unionized clerical force would be laid off.
He said Chrysler told him more substantial manpower
cuts were coming.
“They said they were going to cut to the bone in salaried
people during this holiday season," Fraser said.
Chrysler announced two days ago that it plans to shut
five of its six U.S. car assembly plants from the day before
Thanksgiving until Jan. 6, a move that will add 43.900
Chrysler workers to the temporary or permanent layoff
list.

Co., this could push the industry layoff figure before
Christmas to 150,000—0 r about one in every four auto
workers in the country.
More layoffs are expected over the next three weeks.
Chrysler said it was closing assembly plants in
Michigan, Illinois and Delaware in order to trim 50,000
cars from its original December production schedule.
The company, the third largest U.S. car maker, plans to
turn out about 15,000 cars next month, all of them at its
facility in Fenton, Mo.
Chrysler has a record 120-day supply of unsold cars.
Like its larger rivals, GM and Ford, the company has
been caught up in a slump that made the first six weeks of
the new model year the poorest in sales in a decade.
GM has more than 54,000 workers idle this week. Nearly
40,000 of them permanently, while Ford has 18,675 off the
job, more than 10,000 of them permanently.
Meanwhile, officials of the Michigan Employment
Security Commission said Detroit’s jobless total
percentage has entered the double-digit level. They said
the unemployment figure may exceed 200,000 in the
metropolitan area by Nov. 30.
“We expect to handle 20,000 to 30,000 new claims a week
for the rest of the year,” Taylor said. “We’ve already
handled about that many in the past week or so.”
