TIMES-REPORTER DOVER.NEWPHIIADEIPHIA.OHIO Judge wants Ehrlichman to have White House files WASHINGTON (AP) A federal judge says he will issue an order designed to force President Nixon to permit John D. Ehrlichman full access to White House files for his defense in the plumbers case. U.S. District Judge Gerhard has said he is willing to move under federal contempt statutes. Gesell on Tuesday delayed Ehrlichman's trial in the case while going ahead with the prosecution of three others still accused in the 1971 break- in at the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist.

The judge ordered a separate trial for Ehrlichman but said he will continue to press an intensifying struggle today over refusal by the President to allow the former White House aide and his lawyers access to the files. Ehrlichman says his lawyers must be permitted to see 28 months worth of handwritten notes now locked in a White House vault. Nixon has agreed to allow Ehrlichman's attorneys to wait in an adjacent room of the vault, a proposal Gesell has rejected. The President also maintains that only he can decide what is evidence in the case, a position Gesell says he finds offensive. Gesell said he plans to sign "specific orders to enforce the subpoenas in order that appropriate pretrial release of the pertinent documents among Mr.

Ehrlichman's White House papers now in the custody of the President can be accomplished, thus Joy scholarships awarded to two students A. L. (ROY) MINNIS Never cheats at solitaire Dover man 92 today Open house is being observed all day today at the Donald R. Becker residence at 1512 Oak st. in Dover in honor of the 92nd birthday of Mrs.

Becker's father, A. L. (Roy) Minnis. He resides with the Beckers. Born June 12, 1882, in New Philadelphia to Floyd and Alice Vogley Minnis, he went to work in the coal mines with his father at age 9, driving the mules that hauled out the coal.

Minnis worked in area mines until 1950 when he went to Joy Mfg. Co. in New Philadelphia as a plant guard. Between 1952 and 1962 he was custodian at the Eagles Lodge and Brooklyn Grill there, retiring at age 80. Minnis and Bessie E.

Lewis of New Philadelphia were married Oct. 15,1903 She died in 1972. Three of the five children born to the couple are deceased. A son Lawrence, twin brother of Mrs. Becker (Florence), resides on RD 4, New Philadelphia.

There are 18 grandchildren, 42 great- grandchildren and six great-great grandchildren. Minnis enjoys watching TV and playing solitaire, which he says he never cheats at, and keeps up on'the world news. He also is very interested in the Singing Wheels Motorcycle Club in which his daughter and son-in-law are members. He is a member of St. Joha's United Church of Christ in Dover.

Scholarships of $4000 each have been awarded by the Joy Mfg. which has a plant in New Philadelphia, to Michael Fisher of New Philadelphia and Robert Harr of Dover. Michael, a graduate of New Philadelphia High, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harlan Fisher of 224 St.

Nine Joy scholarships were awarded this year to sons and daughters of em- ployes throughout the United States and Canada. Edward Moorehead, general manager of the New Philadelphia plant, presented the awards to Michael and Robert along with congratulatory letters from J. W. Wilcocks, president of Joy Mfg. Memos link Kissinger November bond issue okay asked by Carrollton board CARROLLTON Voters in the Carrollton school district will be asked in November to approve a $1,920,000 bond issue for construction of a new junior high school, a second-story high school addition and improvements to two elementary buildings.

A resolution to place the issue on the ballot was passed by the board of education which met Tuesday night at Augusta Elementary. Harold Noble, a member of the board, was put in charge of selecting a site for the new school. He is to report at the next meeting. Plans for the new school were drawn by Marr, Knapp Crawfis Architects of New Philadelphia. Estimated cost of the new school is $1,474,000.

The high school addition would provide four classrooms and a library (equivalent in size to the classrooms) and would be added as a second floor to. the new wing of the present high school. Cost is estimated at $375,000. Bond issue receipts also would finance $50,000 worth of improvements at Augusta Elementary and $25,000 in needed repairs to the Dellroy building. If the issue passes in November, work on the junior high would start next summer, with completion planned in time for the 1976-77 term.

A similar proposal for construction of a new junior high was defeated last November 2083-1444. In November 1972, voters turned down both a bond issue for a new elementary school and a levy for improvements. A bond issue to provide both an elementary school and improvements to other buildings was defeated in November 1970. Other action by the board Tuesday included awarding a $950 contract to Nichols Excavating Co. of here for razing the old Dellroy school.

Work was to start today. report also alleges that Kissinger "received" summaries of the taps as late as Dec. 28,1970. In Salzburg Tuesday, Kissinger made what could be a significant modification of his earlier declarations, in sworn testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, that he had not requested any wiretaps. "The point I am making," he said, "is my office did not initiate any requests for wiretaps that were not triggered either by a security violation or by fulfilling the criteria of adverse information in the security IN THE FBI reports, as submitted to the Judiciary Committee, the White House aides and newsmen were referred to only by code letters and "0" and and From descriptions of their roles on the staff, it appears that is Morton Halperin, is Daniel Davidson, is Lt.

Gen. Robert E. Pursley and is Helmut Sonnenfeldt. Halperin, Davidson and Sonnenfeldt were members of Kissinger's National Security Council staff, and Pursley was former senior military adviser to Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird and previously to Secretaries of Defense Clark Clifford and Robert S.

McNamara. Ruckelshaus, in a May 14, 1973, press conference, said his investigation exonerated "most if not all" of the targeted officials. However, an FBI memo drafted for Ruckelshaus the previous day said that Kissinger, after reading the logs of the wiretaps on May 20,1969, said to former FBI assistant director William Sullivan: "It is clear that I don't have anybody in my office that I can trust except Haig." Haig is now a top aide to the President. The memo went on to say that Kissinger "said that what he was learn- ing as a result of the coverage is extremely helpful to him while at the same time very disturbing." ACCORDING TO A previously undisclosed summary of the FBI evidence by the staff of the House Judiciary Committee, Haig ordered taps on three of the four newsmen's phones. Kissinger has the summary said, "that the name of one of these three was presented by FBI Director J.

Edgar Hoover to the President as a man who had connections with an allied foreign intelligence service. The decision to place a tap resulted from that representation." One of the tapped newsmen, London Sunday Times Washington correspondent Henry Brandon, is British. The other three Hedrick Smith of the New York Times, William Beecher, formerly of the Times, and Marvin Kalb, CBS diplomatic correspondent, are American citizens. THE FBI MEMORANDA heighten the contradictions and ambiguities which surround the Secretary of State's role in the wiretaps. Until now, the most significant public testimony on Kissinger's involvement in the wiretap affair was delivered by former Atty.

Gen. Elliot Richardson at the Secretary's nomination hearing last Sept. 10. Asked point-blank by Fulbright whether Kissinger had specif icially originated the wiretap requests, Richardson replied "Although he is identified in the FBI records as having requested taps directly or through Haig, my discussions with Dr. Kissinger have convinced me that he was not the originator, in the fundamental sense of the word, of any of these taps." Compacted New York trash to aid Harrison reclamation CADIZ Charles Scott, vice president of Control Systems Inc.

of Cincinnati, believes his firm is close to getting the contract, to dispose of 624,000 tons of compacted waste annually from New York City in a 400-acre abandoned strip mine near here. The official added that if his company receives the contract, the operation will not begin for at least two years'' because of the lead time in getting the bailing equipment." Alan Simpson, Harrison County sanitarian, has received permission from Donald Day, assistant chief of the division of waste management at the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, to attend a meeting next Tuesday with the administrator and Scott concerning the project.

Scott explained that it would be compacted into odorless blocks three feet by four feet. Each block contains 2700 pounds of household wastes but would be hard enough to be used for landfill. Scott added that the method, which his company uses on a similar project near St.

Paul, would eventually make possible harvesting of the land. Pay reported that EPA approved the Harrison County dumping site in 1969 and an amended plan for its use "about a Hearings set in theft case CADIZ Hearings are scheduled Thursday at 1 p.m. in Harrison County court for Brian J. Gottsahend and Barry P. Licklider of Canton, charged wilh grand theft and possession of deadly weapons.

The latter also is charged with having marijuana in his possession. They were arrested in connection with the theft of $162 from Louise Longberger and when officials searched their van, they found a pistol with ammunition, a bayonet, a knife, shotgun and ammunition and marijuana. Both are free on $2000 bond set by Judge William Spiker. Residents warned COSHOCTON Lt. Richard Neldon of Ihe police has issued a warning that two men driving a late model brown pickup truck, using the name of Harrison and are using the ruse of checking water meters to get into area homes and "case" the premises.

Anyone being approached by Ihese persons should contact the police immediately and no strangers should be permitted to enter homes. year and a half ago." He added that the agency would watch the operation closely- Last week the Environmental Action Coalition Inc. of New York criticized the plan on the grounds that burying wastes was a poor example of resource recovery. Karen Dumont, director of Ihe group, said using slrip mines as garbage disposal sites was not a feasible solution to the problem of strip mines.

The coalition feared damage to nearby waterways and water tables but Day said, "There's no water drainage from above except in Ihe nature of rainfall." The EPA, he added, was not worried about water pollution at the site. Defending the proposal, Scotl commented, "It's awfully hard for people to talk about things they don't know about, but when you look at the ravaged strip mine areas of Ohio thai need reclamation, there should be no reason for concern."

Contract for the system has not been awarded. McManues, 34, of Mingo Junction, indicted for sexual battery and rape of two minor girls.

McManues, represented by Atty. James Thomas, is charged with engaging in sexual activities with his two stepdaughters, aged 12 and 15. Final arguments were to begin at 9 a.m. before Judge Raymond Rice. In addition to the girls, witnesses called Tuesday by Assistant Prosecutors Ronald Collins and James Carrothers were Rose McManues, the defendant's wife and the girls' mother; the defendant's stepson, who witnessed the actions of his stepfather and sisters and Thomas Meechan, Dennison police chief.

McManues was arrested Monday night in Uhrichsville by police and sheriff deputies for violating release terms set by Judge Harlan Spies at his arraignment.

One lawyer said Gesell might call a hearing al which While House lawyers would have lo demonstrate why Nixon should not be held in contempt of Gesell's court. Ehrlichman faces other federal charges along wilh six olhers in a courlroom just down the hall from Gesell's.

Andrew Hall, one of Ehrlichman's lawyers, indicaled Tuesday Ihe same slralegy used in Ihe plumber case would be tried before U.S. Districl Judge John J. Sirica, hearing Ihe cover-up case. Hall said al a prelrial hearing that unless Ehrlichman gets full access to a number of documents left behind in MICHAEL FISHER ROBERTHARR the White House, there is "a denial of due process." Sirica indicated, however, he may not be as convinced as Judge Gesell that access to the While House files is so vital to a fair trial. "What are you going to do about it (if Nixon refuses defense subpoenas)?" Sirica'asked Hall.

Suggesting thai Hall send a subpoena lo Ihe While House for Ihe same noles Ehrlichman is seeking in Ihe plumbers case, Sirica said: "Maybe I have a different idea on Ihis mailer lhan my good friend Judge Gesell." If Sirica, like Gesell, is persuaded to press the While House files issue, Ihe impacl would be even grealer in the cover-up case. Former chief of staff H.R. Haldeman, Gordon C. Strachan and former Ally. Gen.

John N. Milchell also face various charges of lying and obslruc- lion of justice. They also may seek access to evidence slill wilhin Nixon's control. Charges of conspiracy to ob- slrucl juslice in Ihe case also face Kennelh W. Parkinson and Roberl C.

Mardian. In olher developmenls, all six cover-up defendanls asked Ihe Supreme Courl lo keep secret grand jury materials naming Nixon and olhers as unin- dicled coconspiralors. Al the same time, presidential lawyer James D. St. Clair asked the high courl lo rule lhal the grand jury had no authorily to name Nixon as a coconspirator.

Even if he loses that argument, St. Clair said he has proof that the grand jury lacked evidence to single out the President. St. Clair also tried unsuccessfully lo give the House Judiciary Committee the President's response to allegations he had a role in the Watergate cover- up. Committee Chairman Peter W.

RO-. dino refused to accepl the brief because it was submitted ahead of the schedule Rodino has laid out. Sirica, meanwhile, took note of the likelihood of a September impeachment trial in the Senate and said he may move the date of the cover-up trial from Sept. 9 to Sept. 3.

Sirica said he hoped the early date would in-, sure the seating of an unbiased jury. The plumbers case will go to trial Monday with three defendants con-, victed in the earlier Watergate break-' in trial: G. Gordon Liddy, Bernard L. Barker and Eugenio R. Martinez.

All three men are charged with' violating in 1971 the civil rights of Dr. Lewis Fielding, Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist.
