Taues Case JL 3 WASHINGTON (AP) The Watergate special prosecutor appealed directly to the Supreme Court Friday asking a speedy decision on whether President Nixon has the right to withhold evidence from the Watergate trials. The petition to (he nation's highest court was filed just two hours after U.

S. District Judge Gerhard Gescll had warned that presidential failure to turn over subpoenaed evidence was leading one of the key Watergate trials toward dismissal. The main question presented to the high court by special" prosecutor Leon Jaworski was: "Whether the President, when he has assumed sole personal and physical control over evidence so establish an Independent prosecutor fully capable of Investigating and prosecuting allegations of criminal misconduct by officials In the executive office of the President?" Jaworski asked. Jaworski said it is of "imperative public importance" that the issues be resolved quickly to permit the Watergate cover-up trial to begin as scheduled on September 9. IN ANOTHER CASE, the White House moved Friday to quash a subpoena for the Ellsberg break-in trial, and Judge Gesell warned that Mr.

Nixon was pushing the case toward dismissal. "The action you have taken moves this case in the direction of dismissal," Gesell told White House lawyer James D. St. Clair. The trial is scheduled to begin June 17.

Brushing aside claims of executive privilege over the documents, (Jesell said the government has an obligation to produce all the relevant evidence it has or drop the case. And he said the courts, not the President, should decide what is relevant. "It is not for the President to determine what documents are relevant and should be produced," Gesell said. "It is for this court to decide. THE WHITE HOUSE also filed formal notice of appeal Friday against another subpoena issued on behalf of Watergate Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski and several defendants in the Watergate cover-up trial, scheduled to start September 9.

U. S. District Judge John J. Sirica had given St. Clair until 4 p.m.

Friday to sign an appeal or turn over the materials Jaworski requested by May 31. GESELL ALSO turned down motions that the cases be dismissed, or that the trial be delayed or transferred to another city. The material subpoenaed included personal papers left behind at the White House by former domestic adviser John D. Ehrlich-man and ex-presidential counselor Charles Colson.

S. District Judge John J. Sirica April 18 at Ja-worski's request requiring the White House to turn over tapes and documents needed for evidence in the Watergate cover-up trial. The White House had moved to quash the subpoena, but Sirica denied the motion Monday and ordered Mr. Nixon to turn over the evidence.

formal notice of appeal by the White House to the circuit court here had been filed shortly before Jaworski filed with the Supreme Court an effort aimed at bypassing the circuit court and expediting a decision. Jaworski asked the Supreme Court to give speedy hearing to the case and resolve it during the present term of court, scheduled to end next month. THE SUPREME COURT appeal asked the high court to examine the entire question of "executive privilege," which the White House has raised frequently in efforts to retain material demanded by Watergate investigators and the congressional impeachment Inquiry against Mr. Nixon. "The case Involves basic constitutional issues arising out of the doctrine of the separation of powers and the powers of the judiciary and the prerogatives of the chief executive," Jaworski said.

"Perhaps most fundamentally, this case also presents a question of overriding concern to the full and impartial administration of justice. "Is our constitutional system of government sufficiently resilient to permit the executive branch to survival the second shock, we began to get evidence of a rhythm on the cardiac monitor.

"Would I be a vegetable for the rest of my days?" But on the sixth day, he said, "there was a miraculous change. The reality of my everyday world burst into every corner of the room, filling me with confidence and Joy." Two weeks after the attack, Solow was discharged from the hospital.

Sources in the National Institutes of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and its parent, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), confirmed a preliminary agreement with EPA on the 20-acre site nt Jefferson Ave. and St. Clair St. Location of the NIOSH and EPA laboratories next to each other, within shadows of the University of Cincinnati, will make the site one of the world's most Intensive in health research.

Agreement on the site was disclosed In an exchange of memoranda between HEW Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger and EPA Administrator Russell B. Train. "Mr. Train wrote Secretary Weinberger that he looked forward to a mutually beneficial arrangement on the site," said James H.

Eagen, NIOSH executive officer. "The site has flexibility, it is already federal property, and it is adjacent to the UC medical complex these were all desirable things in its favor." While further study is scheduled to determine the proposed NIOSH center's impact on traffic and the environment generally, the Weinberger-Train agreement was expected to rule out alternate sites suggested by the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce and city officials. CHAMBER AND CITY Officials, working with the area council of the AFL-CIO and area congressmen, proposed four available sites to NIOSH last year. That was when It was believed the EPA site was unavailable. Eagen said the NIOSH center would be built to house 400 workers.

And while the design architect has not even been selected, the center probably would cost around $20 million If built to supply a net 200,000 square feet, according to Ian Burgess, facilities director for the HEW's public health service. "We would want the NIOSH center compatible with the architecture of ours, which has seven stories above and three below the ground," said Dr. Andrew W. Breidcnbach, director of EPA in Cincinnati. "We would also want to know what impact it might have on local traffic but we would hope to be able to share some services, such as a cafeteria, and our EPA scientific personnel here arc Gerstenberg said the rotary engine will be offered after January 1 as an option on the new sporty subcompact Chevrolet, which probably will be named the "Chapparal." It will be offered on other small cars when supplies become available, he said.

The secretary reported "good progress" in his efforts to work out a new plan. He will decide today after an 11th shuttle to Damascus whether to make it a formal proposal.

Cabinet sources said that Kissinger got a provisional go-ahead from Israeli leaders Friday to his ideas for solving the dispute over thinning out forces along a cease-fire line. They said that if he further narrowed the gap with Syria, he would probably split the difference with the formal proposal on paper. Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said on national television the government had not yet decided to accept any of the components of the proposed disengagement. "Only when we see the picture In its entirety will we be able to say that this is a good agreement or a bad one," he said. "And only then will the government decide whether to accept it.

At this stage we are still In the phase of clarifications." Kissinger met twice with Prime Minister Golda Meir, with a two-hour Israeli cabinet session in between.
