ROSENTHAL Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — As theater, Richard Nixon’s emergence from the tombs of Watergate was an emotional performance. But it did little to answer questions raised in courts of law or by committees of the Congress. The voluminous record amassed in the Watergate in vestigations and some of Nixon’s own tape-recorded words are at variance with some of the statements made by the former president to television personality David Frost in Wednesday night’s broadcast. Here is a look at some of those variances: Nixon to Frost: “My motive was... not to try to cover up any criminal action.” The House Judiciary Committee, reporting its impeach ment resolutions, decided “that since June 17, 1972, Richard M. Nixon (sought to) protect those responsible and to conceal the existence and scope of the unlawful and covert activities.” On June 23,1972, talking with aide H.R. Haldeman six days after the Watergate break-in, Nixon worried about potential dangers of an FBI investigation: “That will uncover a lot of things. You open that scab (and) there’s a hell of a lot of things and that we just feel that it would be very detrimental to have this thing go any further.” Nixon to Frost: “If a coverup is for the purpose of cov ering-up criminal activities, it is illegal. If, however, a coverup ... is for a motive that is not criminal, that is something else again." Federal law says obstruction of justice occurs when one “influences, obstructs or impedes, or endeavors to in fluence, obstruct or impede the due administration of justice.” Nixon to Frost: Denies coaching his closest aides to perjure themselves before a federal grand jury in vestigating Watergate. However, Nixon, on March 21, told John Dean and Haldeman that “Perjury’s a tough rap to prove” and that the way to evade answers was to say “I don’t remember, I can’t recall." Nixon to Frost: “I didn’t think of it as a cover-up. I didn’t intend it to cover up. If I intended to cover up, believe me, I’d a done it.” On March 22, 1973, Nixon said to John Mitchell and Dean:“l don’t give a ... what happens. I want you all to Teacher sued AMERICUS, Ga. (AP) - A suit seeking $5,000 in damages has been filed against an Ame ricus school teacher in con nection with a paddling incident in March. The suit was filed in Sumter County State Court by Bobby Wesley Duke on behalf of his son, Joseph Emory Duke, an elementary school student. The suit claims Karen Griffin, a music teacher in the Americus City School System, paddled young Dukes and that the paddling was “wholly un necessary and excessive and unduly severe.” Supt. Spencer Davis con ducted an investigation of the incident which found Miss Grif fin’s actions not to be excessive. “Witnesses said they didn’t think Miss Griffin’s action ex cessive or unduly severe, nor did she show any signs of anger or animosity,” Davis said. The suit asks $3,500 damages for assault and battery and sl,- 500 exemplary damages. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled recently corporal punishment in public schools is not a violation of the constitutional provisions against cruel and unusual punishment. stonewall it. Let them plead the Fifth Amendment, cover up or anything else, if it will save it — save the plan. That’s the whole point.” Nixon to Frost: “I did not commit a crime, an impeach able offense.” The Watergate grand jury named Nixon an unindicted conspirator, in a conspiracy involving “deceit, craft, trickery and dishonest means.” And the House Judiciary Committee recommended, after lengthy hearings, that Nixon should be impeached “for high crimes and misdemeanors” in obstructing justice, abusing the powers of his office and “failing to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” J?

(AP) - A television show prompted George Quinn to rob a gas sta tion — and it was TV that later made him turn himself over to police. Now Quinn, 19, may spend eight years in prison.
