Ehrlichman OKd Inquiry On Ellsberg
LOS ANGELES (AP)—Newly resigned presidential aide John Ehrhlich told the FBI that he hired Watergate conspirators G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt to take over the CIA, and learned later they broke into the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist.
U. S. District Court Judge Matt Byrne, presiding over the trial of Elsberg and Anthony Russo, revealed the statement that Anthony had made to the FBI last Friday.
The defense attorneys immediately move to dismiss the bail order, and Byrne and Hutchinson address the issues.
The FBI interview quotes Ehrlichman as saying President Nixon designated him in 1971 to make inquiries independent of the concurrent FBI investigation that had been made relating to the leak of the Pentagon papers.

Ellsberg was indicted in June, 1971, on charges of espionage, conspiracy to obtain Nixon's handwritten interest in the problem of unauthorized disclosures of classified information.
Ehrlichman the FBI he learned of the burglary afterward and told Hunt and Liddy that the suspect had been arrested.
Ellsberg's chief defense attorney, Leonard Boudin, expressing outrage at the revelation Tuesday, called it one of the most primary invasions of individual privacy.
Ellsberg said the document called into question whether President Nixon had "ordered this whole process of criminal activity."
Bryne announced that he would not let the case go to the jury until the matter concludes.

Watergate Vote Asks Special Prosecutor
WASHINGTON (AP)—With only five members on the floor, the Senate voted Tuesday to tell President Nixon it wanted the Watergate investigation removed from the executive branch and placed in the hands of an independent prosecutor.
A few hours later, other Republican senators streamed to the floor and tried to block a bill.
They denounced the earlier decision as a vote of no confidence in Nixon and in Elliot Richardson, the man he has chosen to head the investigation as attorney general-designate.
The President in his speech Monday night said appointment of a special supervising prosecutor was up to the designated Atty. Gen. Elliot Richardson.
SOME of the senators denounced the author of the resolution, Sen. Charles Kennedy.

FBI agents were dispatched to the White House Tuesday to guard files related to the Watergate case that are kept in the offices of departing officials.
Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler said an around-the-clock safeguarding procedure was begun to physically protect various White House documents.
Sources said President Nikon's top aides, H. R. Haldeman and John Ehrichman culled through government files before they resigned.
That disclosure came amid a burry of other developments a day after Nixon's loss in the election.

Nixon Asks 2.9 Billion In Foreign Aid Funds
ONE PARTICIPANT described the session as a general rallying round, and said the President told the Cabinet things to forward now in the administration.
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Nixon asked Congress Tuesday for $2.9 billion in foreign aid to rebuild nations, including $632 million to rebuild Indochina.
The package included no money for North Vietnam, but Nixon said the Communist country would be eligible for U.S. help when it agreed with the Vietnamese cease-fire agreement.
"I and when that occurs," he said, "I believe that American assistance for reconstruction and development of both sides is essential to sound investment in confirming peace."
His proposal includes $652 million in military assistance and another $100 million for Jordan, Thailand and other countries considered close to the United States. Some $33 million would also be spent to train foreign soldiers here.
The $2.3 billion request for fiscal year 1974 contrasts with the $2-6 billion foreign aid program that has been in effect under a more professional resolution for nearly two years.
"The sums I am requesting represent the absolute minimum prudent investment that the United States can afford to make if we have a peaceful world." Nixon said in his speech.
A special feature of the new assistance program is the singling out of South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia for economic reconstruction aid.
"To ignore these needs would be to task

—After the Cabinet meeting, Nixon met for an hour in his Oval Office with Vice President Spro Agnew. In disclosing the meeting a White House spokesman would not say what was discussed. He described it only as a private meeting. This apparently was the first time since December Nixon had held such an extensive discussion.

—The federal grand jury on Watergate heard a very important witness, attorney George Glenze. He declined to identify the witnesses saying “the important people who come before a grand jury are never the important people in the headlines.” He said the probe was not part of the investigation.
—Sources predicted that the Haldeman and Ehrlichman resignations would bring major changes in the White House staff —the president said. He announced the shuffle next week. Ziegler said the President had made no decisions on replacements for the two aides, but administration officials said they expected that the group would be able to receive expanded White House duties.

The Saigon government in neighboring South Vietnam announced that President Nguyen Van Thien planned sweeping changes to decentralize the country in preparation for a political struggle with the Viet Cong. But other government sources insist as saying the reorganization would keep political power concentrated in Saigon.
—Sen. Carl Curtis, R-Neb., and others suggested Nixon call on former Sen. John Williams, R-Del., to oversee the inquiry. Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Gaz, cautioned that Richardson has close ties to prominent Atty. Gen. Richard Kleidienst.
The President said that under the Nixon Doctrine the United States had tried to stimulate the other countries to bear a share in their own defense and economic needs.
Nixon asked Congress to act on his request "with a special sense of urgency so that we may continue the important work of getting our board achieving peace during the last year."
Teams of F4' Phantom and F111 jet fighters from American bases in Thailand again bombarded the rebel-held eastern border from Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital.
U. S. and North Vietnamese negotiators returned from Paris to their respective capitals after a round of talks designed to improve observance of the Vietnam ceasefire and to permit an indirect threat that fighting might be resumed unless Hanou stop its violations.

American B52 bombers and jet fighters pounded suspected enemy camps around Phnom Penh Teenth and North and South Cambodia. The war required a number of reforms for their war-weary peoples.
Chancellor Raymond Nichols said Tuesday that Shirley Gilham, present director of the women's office, would become the University's affirmative action officer and would have authority over both offices.
The two offices eventually will merge and will be in new quarters. Nichols said.
"It just doesn't make sense to have two offices that have to duplicate their efforts and keep the same kinds of files." Nichols said. "We recognized a year ago that the two groups could share facilities and records."
Nichols said recent adoption of the *Afirmative Action* plan prompted the consolidation. The plan groups equal rights for women and for minorities together.
The activities budget was sent to Nichols for approval Monday. If Nichols approves the budget, it would go to the Kansas Board of Regents for final approval.
Nichols said the move was not an attempt to force Brenda Marzeit Vann, director of the Office of Minority Affairs, out of her job. Her staff and management jobs had recently asked for her resignation.
"I stand procedure is followed I will probably approve the budget," Nichols said. "I have not studied it in detail yet, but I heard about anything I would not approve."
On other topics, Nichols said none of the student organizations campaigning for restoration of budget cuts made by the Student Senate had contacted him.
Nichols said the approval was routine.

The new combined office will operate directly through the chancellor's office, Nichols said. He said a suite of offices in Wescoe Hall might be used.

Frequent Malfunctions
Copying Machines: Pay, Take a Chance

Kansan Staff Writer
For most students its "pay your nickel and take your chance" when it comes to operating the self-service copying machines in Watson Library.
The copying machines on the first and second floors are each used an average of 600 to 800 times daily, and, according to library employees at the photocopy desk, malfunctions occur so frequently that a service man must be called at least two or three times a week. Often they are called out daily to fix at least one machine.
"One of the main problems we have with the machines is that patrons simply don't read the instructions," said John Glkna, Photocopy department employees agreed.
"We try to fix as much as we can on the machines before calling the service man."
"Most of the problems we have with the machines are related to paper jams," said William Witty, the company employee. "The paper jams in the mechanism. Then people put in more coins and jam it worse. We also have trouble with coins and bologna coins being placed in the machine."
department. "We've been fixing each
employee's computer every day,
not including outgoing mail and ink."
The copying machines, purchased from State Typewriter Co. of Topeka, are also serviced by the firm. Their service man attributed most breakdowns to "problems from students. Students put in bent coins and cause other malfunctions."
"I think there's dissatisfaction about copying machines," Glinda叫了. "We seem to have more problems with the machines than we had two years ago, and two of the three machines are fairly new. They really ought to run better instead of worse."
"We've been looking at other machines, but we need one that don't damage books. So often machines come to us from inroads, so few are built especially for library use.
*'Cost is also important. The Copia machine by Olivetti has a fixed rental that permits us to put out copies for five cents or higher grade machine naturally rent for longer.*
"We're trying to use machines that will provide the best at a reasonable price for the students, and right now we're talking to other firms that would like to demonstrate their product. Our main thrust is to improve quality for our patrons."
