0 THE TENNESSEAN, Friday, Augmr 30, 1974 White Seeks 0,000 for Nixon ouse By DICK BARNES WASHINGTON (AP) The odministrotion osked Congress yesterday to provide $850,000 for the pension ond expenses of former President Richard Ninn Travel, $40,000 Office Supplies, $5,000 Furniture and equipment $65,000 Communication, $12,000 Printing, $10,000 Miscellaneous, $100,000 The $400,000 also will include the prorated cost for fiscal 1975 of Nixon's $60,000 annual pension from the day he left office. That is nearly $55,000. A Nixon office ond expense budget for each subsequent year beginning next July 1 will be sent to Congress as part of the President's annual budget message each Jan-uary. Nixen con ask each year for ony funds he wants beyond the $96,000 authorized for staff salaries ond the $60,000 annual pension, but Congress must pass on the THE GENERAL Services Administration, which will write the actual checks for Nixon's bills, developed the budget Her consulting with the former President. It was then sent by President Ford to Congress for approval.

A White House spokesman said that although the GSA handles the bookkeeping and accounting, Nixon would have latitude in spending the money. He said Nixon could use the travel money to go bock and forth between his San Clemente and Key Biscayne houses if he wonted, ond he could use the $96,000 staff money to pay whomever he wanted, including his lawyers. NIXON'S PERSONAL finances and the use of government money at his private homes were a source of controversy, particularly during his second term. Transition funds and subsequent affice expenses were paid for former President Johnson after his retirement. 1963 $450,000 in expenses for the first six months be is out of off ice to provide for on orderly transfer of executive power.

None of that need be used for salaries because he can, ond has, received help from aides still on the White House payroll. AN ADDITIONAL $400,000 is sought under the Former Presidents Act ef 1958. This law authorizes $96,000 a year for staff salaries after the initial six-month transition. Although less than five months will remain in fiscal 1975 when the transition period ends Feb. 9, 1975, a White House spokesman said Nixon would get the full annual $96,000 for staff solaries during that period.

That's nearly $60,000 more than if $96,000 were prorated for the shorter period. A White House spokesman listed these categories among the budget being asked for Nixon from Feb. 9 to June 30, 1975: through next June 30, including $40,000 tor travel ond $100,000 for miscellaneous. The request includes some $250,000 not specifically enumerated under existing law. NOT INCLUDED in the $850,000 is the cost of Secret Service protection for Nixon ot his San Clemente estate or the value of the former Western White House buildings that he is using os on office next to his residence.

The money would go to Nixon in two segments ond includes bonus of nearly $60,000 for staff salaries beyond what the law contemplated.

DEPUTY PRESS secretary John Hushen said he could not answer whether Ford was planning a trip to Europe or rather planned to meet European leaders only in Washington.

Hushen refused to elaborate on any portion of the statement, which began in conciliatory fashion but ended with a tone of firmness. "We applaud efforts toward European unity and we welcome vigorous European policies in the spirit of the Atlantic Decalartion signed in June at the summit in Brussels," the statement began. BUT AFTER ticking off efforts Ford made in the early hours and days of his presidency to contact allied representatives, the statement concluded: "Our record of commitment to our alliances and to Europe is clear.

APPLIANCES SAN CLEMENTE (UPI) Former President Richard Nixon personally accepted two Watergate-related subpoenas at his seashore estate where he has remained in virtual seclusion since resigning the presidency, it was announced yesterday. The subpoenas, requiring his testimony for forthcoming trials, were served by a U.S. marshal at 4:10 p.m.

CDT Wednesday, according to a Justice Department spokesman in Washington. THEY HAD been issued more than a week earlier, but service was delayed while Gaylord Campbell, U.S. marshal for Los Angeles, made arrangements with former White House press secretary Ronald Ziegler for what a spokesman called a "professional and discreet" occasion. Wayne Colburn, director of the U.S. marshal service in Washington, has been quoted as saying that he wanted the serving of the; former President to be dignified, and that there was no urgency in the timing.

The first subpoena, delivered to Campbell Aug. was issued by attorneys for former presidential aide John D. Ehrlichman, one of six defendants in the Water gate cover-up conspiracy trial scheduled to begin Sept. 30 in Washington. The second, delivered Aug.

26, orders the former President to give a sworn statement on Sept. 24 at Santa Ana, Calif for use in a civil suit by a group of persons who claimed they were denied access legally to a "Billy Grham rally" at which Nixon appeared in 1971 in Charlotte, N.C.

This year's rally will be held in Massey Auditorium on the Belmont College campus and feature talks by two nationally known speakersJames E. Dornoff, a Milwaukee business consultant and Dr.

Eden Ryl of New York, who has done extensive research into human behavior, especially as it relates to a salesman's performance. Dr. Ryl's talk, Tynes explained, will be illustrated here by a film of her personal motivational method which she dramatized by parachuting on her first skydiving effort into the ocean without a life jacket and despite the fact she cannot swim. "EVERYONE IS afraid of something, but if we make the effort, we're always surprised at what we can do," Dr. Ryl has said of her motivational techniques.

Tynes said that tickets for the Sales Rally will be available, beginning today, from SME members for $10. Tickets purchased by individuals or corporations in groups of 10 or more are priced at $3.50. but this requires reciprocity on the part of our partners." Giscard, in a television speech Tuesday night in Paris, said Ford's failure to mention Europe in his speech to Congress indicated to him that Europe would have to look after its own affairs. He called for a European summit meeting in late November or early December. THE STATEMENT read by Hushen at an unusual late afternoon news briefing said this about Ford's contacts with Europeans: "President Ford met with representatives of all of the NATO countries within two hours of his swearing in.

"The President wrote ner- sonal messages to all of the allied leaders the same day. "The President met individually with allied ambassadors, including the French Ambassador last Saturday. "THE PRESIDENT is planning personal meetings with allied leaders as soon as it is mutually convenient." The only meeting currently scheduled with a european leader is for Sept. 25 when Italian President Giovanni Leone is to visit Washington. Questioned about who precisely prepared the statement and whether is was being issued in Ford's name, Hushen would say only that "the statement was prepared here in the White House" and was a White House statement.

WHEN ASKED IF he feels he has been a successful trickster, Hardison said he has "had a colorful life. "Now there are some people who are just colorful and I'm down to earth too." He said he was taking the Fifth Amendment against self incrimination on any more similar questions. But he then repeated his testimony made Wednesday that the "proceeds from the loans" from the First American and Third National banks are "gone to the winds." MARDISON ADDED he might have been "deterred" five years ago from his financial shenanigans with the two banks if he had only known about the "doldrums of hell" at the state prison. He said his remarks about T. scott Fillebrown, president of First National Bank, may be made out of "vindic-tiveness." "If I cease to pursue the subject, it's no longer vin-dictiveness.

I'll just play it by ear." Hardison said his future plans are "between me and the dog." He ruled out one possibility however.
