Ehrlichman, Liddy, 2 Others to Go on Trial Today
WASHINGTON (AP)—John D. Ehrlichman, President Nikon's long-time right-hand in domestic affairs, goes on trial with three convicted burglaries and is charged with a psychiatrist's records about Daniel Ellsberg.
Ehrlichman and the others are charged with a White House-bred conspiracy to violate the psychiatric's rights by breaking into his office. An attorney, Michael Duncan, search warrant or other lawful authority,"
The jury trial is expected to last about a month. It is the second of three major trials in the Watergate aftermath involving men who were once in the Nixon high command. The least-known man in the case is the victim, Dr. Lewis J. Fielding of Beverly Hills, Calif.
Ehrlichman's co-defendants are G. Gordon Liddy, 43, the Wategate burglar mastermind already under a 6- to 28-year sentence and a contempt term for remaining silent; Bernard L. Koehler, 51, the Wategate burglar mastermind were from Miami's Cuban community and both were convicted with Liddy in the Wategate burglar
Ehrichman, 49, who returned to law practice in Seattle after leaving the White House, also is charged with one count of lying to an FBI agent and with making false statements to a federal grand jury.
For Erlichman, a defendant also in next September's Watergate cover-up conspiracy trial, conviction on all counts in this case could mean a maximum penalty of 39 years in prison and a $50,000 fine. For the others, the maximum on the conspiracy count is 10 years and $10,000.
The case's beginning was three years ago this week when the New York Times began publishing the "Pentagon Papers," a series of articles based on information study of U.S. involvement in the 'Vietnam war.'
Soon afterward, it became known that the papers were copied and distributed by Daniel Ellsberg, a scholar who had been a consultant with the Rand Corp. "think-tank" in San Monica, Calif.
"It posed a threat to grave as to require ex-ordinary actions," Nixon was as to require ex-ordinary actions, but he did not volunteer a television message.
Unit within the White House, which later came to be known as the Plumbers. This was a small group at the White House whose principal purpose was to serve the president and to educate John Ehrlichman for the supervision of this group.[3]
Ehrlichman's assistant, Eigl Krogh, was put in charge. David Young, a member of Henry Kissinger's National Security Council staff, was charged with stealing a file from his assistant, and E, Howard Hunt Jr., a consultant.
Charles W. Colson, a special counsel to the President, recalls the high degree of alarm expressed by both the President and Kissinger at leaks of national security matters.
The President, he said, told him in effect at the end of June 1971, "I don't give a damn how it is done; do whatever has to be done to stop these leaks and prevent further unauthorized disclosures."
According to the indictment returned last March, the first "overt act" in the conspiracy was July 21, 1984, to Young and Young sent a memorial to Ehrenfeld for his death. A preparaion of a "psychiatric study" on Ellsberg.
Two weeks later they recommended "that a covert operation be undertaken to examine all the information held by Elsbisher's psychoanalyst covering the total period in which he was under investigation."
The operation became "Hunt-Liddy Special Project No. 1" in memos.
One memo from Ehrichman requested Colson to prepare "a game plan" for use of materials to be derived from the "proposed undertaking by Hunt and Liddy."
In the efficient manner of White House memos, there was a space for Ehrlichman to check off over approve and add over. He put his initial "E" over approve and add over one under your assurance that it is not traceless.
The Cubans broke into the psychiatrist's office in downtown Beverly Hills over the Labor Day week and searched in vain for the Ellsberg records.
The files were listed under a code name.
Hunt, Young and Krogh were named co-conspirators but were not indicted. They will be prosecuted next month.
Ellsberg underwent psychoanalysis in 1968, 1969 and part of 1970.
Colson was charged as a conspirator in both the plumbers and the Watergate cover-up cases, but the charge was dismissed when he pleaded guilty June 3 to obstructing justice by trying to smear Ellsberg before his trial last year. Colson also will be a witness.
Krogh last week finished serving 4 months of a six-month sentence after pleading guilty to
Ellsberg, the target of it all, was acquitted along with Anthony J. Russo because of government improprieties in the prosecution, including the break-in at Dr. Fielding's office.
The defendants claim they were acting in the name of national security.
U. S. District Judge Gerhard A. Gessell, who will preside at the trial, has ruled out a national security case.

Gives Energy Veto Right to Congress
The Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee approved a bill yesterday to give Congress authority over any transfer of U.S. nuclear technology to a foreign country. The bill would also and could be used to veto President Nixon's offer of nuclear aid to Egypt and Israel. The bill would give Congress 60 days to consider such agreements. The committee unanimously approved the bill.
Erwin Says Loan Program Is Partial Solution William W. Erwin, assistant agriculture secretary, explained the Nixon Administration's objections to the guaranteed loan emergency credit program for the livestock industry. Testifying at a House hearing on the bill passed by the Senate Monday and a bill proposed by Rep. W. R. Poage, D-Texas, Erwin said the proposed bills were only partial short-term solutions to a set of complex problems. Erwin proposed an alternate plan, which included a lower individual loan ceiling and the removal of poultry producers from the program.

"I don't want you to get the idea that I personally do all these things," Brooks said.

Blair said the Post Office, like all services, had been hit by inflation in areas of London.
"Eighty-five per cent of the total income of the Post Office goes for wages." he said. "The Post Office was $200 million in the hole at the beginning of the last fiscal year. Wages accounted for $350 million, while energy took $150 million.
The change to the area mail processing system will reduce the number of employees needed by the Post Office to sort mail, and thus said the Post Office could not fire anyone.
"Manual distribution is going out of existence," he said. "For 200 years we've been processing mail in essentially the same way, we're beginning some drastic changes."
"We can reduce the number of employees in other ways, such as transferring some to other departments and not replacing employees who retire," he said.
"The guys do all that, I just give them ideas and some sort of direction."
Postal employees do have labor unions, but they cannot strike.
