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.

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.” Page 11 — Griffin Daily News Thursday, November 21,1974 Search continues for escapees FORT PAYNE, Ala.
