James McCord to have starring in Watergate show he helped direct WASHINGTON James McCord, the talkative conspirator, planted the seed of disclosure now coming to bloom. He broke the silence that let the Watergate story come tumbling through. It was an uncharacteristic act for an unusual man, a real-life spy whose world was secrecy and codes and a willingness to do anything for a take the rap for others. When McCord steps before the cameras in the opening phase of the Senate's Watergate hearings, he'll be in a spotlight that he helped focus with a clumsily typed tetter in March. Then he stood before a judge prepared to impose a heavy sentence for being caught in the act burgling and bugging Democratic party headquarters.

The letter, at that time already in Chief U.S. District Court Judge John J. Sirica's hands, changed it all. "In the interests of justice," McCord wrote, "I will state the following to you at this time." And then came three terse paragraphs of allegations: From A-l Skylab a detailed timetable by Thursday afternoon," Skylab project director William C. Schneider told newsmen Wednesday.

He said the only barrier to the flight is the 100-degree-plus temperature in the interior of the 85-ton laboratory, which was launched unmanned from Cape Kennedy Monday into a 272- mile-high orbit. And temperature seemed to have decreased and stabilized at between 100 and 110 degrees. A launch mishap stripped an insulation shield and protective thermal paint from the side of the workshop, allowing the sun's heat to penetrate the vehicle. The area of the spacecraft facing the sun is about 20 by 20 feet. Schneider said that if this area could be covered, it would shade the Skylab and lower the temperature to the normal 60-to-70 degree range.

These three methods of installing a sun shield are being considered the most favored approach, an astronaut would enter the spaceship, open a hatch in the workshop area and roll out a window-shade device. This would require piecing together lengths of pipe and gradually extending the shade to the rear of the Skylab. Apollo ferry ship would fly close to the laboratory and an astronaut would lean out a hatch. Using a long pole, he would attach the ends of a bag to opposite ends of the section to be covered. Then he would pull a cable to release the covering.

This would require some intricate maneuvering of the Apollo ship by Skylab 1 commander Conrad. But Schneider said he should be able to keep at least 12 feet away from the station. least likely approach would be to have one of the astronauts open the workshop hatch and inflate an umbrella-like device. Each of the proposed methods would use a plastic sheet that would reflect the sun's rays. Kerwin is the most likely astronaut to do the work because he's been trained to take a space walk on a normal mission to retrieve film from solar telescopes.

"If we get the solar shield deployed, we feel we'll be able to get the full 28 days with the first mission and have a chance at all 56 days on the last two," Schneider said. Asked about the possibility of a launch on Sunday. Schneider replied: "It depends on how much work we will have to do when we reach a decision on which approach to take. And then we'll have to decide if we can train the crew. And can we build and test the articles and can we get them to the Kennedy Space Center on time for a Sunday launch?" He said a decision might not be made until Saturday.

If the Saturn IB roc.ket can't be launched Sunday, the next favorable liftoff time is May 25. First winner's choice HARRJSBURG, PA.

Later the same day, March 23, McCord met with investigators for the special Senate Watergate committee. He talked about point three: He'd been told that John N.

Mitchell, Jeb S. Magruder and John W. Dean HI planned Watergate with G. Gordon Liddy, his codefendant in the trial. Another time he talked of point one: The Committee for the Re-election of the President promised money; presidential aides promised 'clemency in return for stony silence.

And to lawyers in civil suits McCord talked of point 2: Jeb Magruder lied, he said. McCord's testimony was so sensational it leaked out before stenogra- phers had a chance to transcribe it. He talked so much that only two days of depositions totaled 380 pages. He is certain to be the most sensational of the early witnesses in the Senate's great Caucus Room and In what promises to be the most sensational of the many dramatic hearings that have been held there. What viewers will see is an average-looking man, 49 years old, with a somewhat reedy voice, speaking softly.

Not even McCord's lawyers were aware of his letter to the judge, And no one outside the now-disclosed large circle of people in the know could foresee how his knowledge would shake the summit. James McCord didn't write the script. But the outline was his. It is said he's writing a about his score of years in the CIA or about his years in the FBI or his exploits as a cloak-and-dagger man. It'll be about Watergate.

The title: "Malice in Blunder- land." SEC chairman, Bradford Cook, is latest Watergate casualty WASHINGTON (AP) Chairman G. Bradford Cook of the Securities and Exchange Commission has become the llth Nixon administration official to quit in the wake of election irregularities. Cook announced his resignation Wednesday, 15 minutes before he was due to testify secretly before a House panel, amid speculation that he would be asked to discuss the Robert L. Vesco case. The House Commerce Committee's investigation subcommittee postponed Cook's appearance.

Rep. Harley O. Staggers, told newsmen the session was tentatively rescheduled for Monday. Staggers, chairman of the full committee and the investigating panel looking into SEC actions, would not say whether Cook's planned appearance was tied to the case involving the secret $200,000 contribution by New Jersey financier Vesco to the President's re-election campaign. Cook was the latest official of the Nixon administration to leave his job because of burgeoning disclosures about Watergate and other campaign deeds.

Ten others before him, including Atty. Gen. Richard G. Kleindienst and White House aides John Ehrlichman and H.R. Haldeman, have resigned.

Staggers said he talked by phone to Cook, who did not appear at the subcommittee room where he was to have testified. Cook, who denied wrongdoing, said in a letter to Nixon: "I deeply regret having to tender my resignation as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, but in light of unfortunate circumstances now prevailing, I believe it is best to do so." Cook said he found himself facing a "web of circumstances" and felt the effectiveness of the agency might be impaired, A Senate subcommittee spent about five hours with Cook in a closed G. BRADFORD COOK meeting jast Monday, following reports that under political pressure the SEC, in a lawsuit alleging Vesco and 41 others conspired to loot $224 million from a foreign-based mutual fund, made no mention of the Vesco donation to the Nixon campaign. Minutes of the session were kept secret but it was called amid indications Cook was being asked to explain discrepancies in previous congressional testimony about the lawsuit and conversations he had concerning the suit with former Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans, the Nixon campaign's top fund-raiser. A federal grand jury in New York has indicted Stans, former Atty.

Gen. John N. Mitchell, Vesco and Harry L. Sears, a Vesco associate, on charges of conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Mitchell and Stans also were charged with perjury before the grand jury.

him (Hunt) a hand." But Cushman said he does not believe Ehrlichman lied to him. At U.S. District Court, former FBI acting director L. Patrick Gray III visited Watergate prosecutor Earl Silbert. Gray quit his job April 27 amidst the Watergate furor.

The Watergate grand jury was to hear from Roy Sheppard, who was granted immunity Wednesday and is said to have removed eight cartons Of records from the White House complex the day after the Watergate breakin. As Ervin opened the hearings, Dr. Daniel Ellsberg, the man who released the top secret Pentagon Papers to the press, took a seat in the rear of the Caucus Room. All charges against Ellsberg were dropped on a judge's ruling last Friday that government misconduct tainted the evidence against him. Baker portrayed the men and policies that led to the.

complex web of events now known collectively as Watergate as political amateurs and said he has found no evidence either the Republican or Democratic national played any role "in whatever may have gone wrong in 1972." "We will inquire into every fact and follow every lead unrestrained by any fear of where that lead may ultimately take us," Baker said. He said the very fact that the American government is now engaged "in the public process of cleaning our house before the eyes of the world" marks the resilience and enduring nature of American institutions. Even as testimony began in the room where other senators a half-century ago sought the facts of the Teapot Dome scandal, the Watergate story was spreading still. The Washington Post, which has won a Pulitzer prize for Watergate coverage, today reported the break-in and bugging of Democratic party headquarters in the Watergate was but one incident in a huge White House undercover operation beginning in 1969 and involving still-unreported cases of political burglary, wiretapping, spying and sabotage. The Post said the mental-health records of Sen.

Thomas F. Eagleton, were in the possession of White House adviser John D. Ehrlichman for several weeks before the story leaked fo the press that the Democratic vice- presidential candidate had undergone electric-shock treatment for nervous exhaustion. Eagleton then quit the ticket. Personnel of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service, the Justice Department and the White House used in a wide variety of clandestine operations, the Post said, quoting "highly placed sources in the executive branch." The first phase of the hearings will be limited to the Watergate bugging itself, although developing testimony may take senators into two other major areas of concern: political sabotage and illegal campaign contributions.

The resolution creating the investigating committee limits the probe to conduct of the 1972 presidential Democratic and otherwise. Sen. Sam J. Ervin the committee's chairman, is quick to point out that the panel is charged to "prove or disprove" any and all accusations. As Senate workmen prepared the Caucus Room for the beginning of the long set of Watergate hearings, another high administration official resigned, becoming at least the llth to quit after being touched by various aspects of the case.

The White House pointed a finger of blame, meanwhile, at a man who did not quit but was fired: John W. Dean III, formerly the President's official lawyer. White House Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler insisted that Dean conducted an in-house Watergate investigation for the President. But Ziegler called it inadequate.

Dean, who has been granted immunity for anything he may say at the Senate hearings, has said he never wrote a report on such an investigation for the White House. "He told interviewers he was "flabbergasted" when the President told a news conference Aug. 29 a "Dean report" had cleared all aides then on the White House staff. Dean vowed he will not be made a scapegoat in the Watergate case. But lawyers representing him told a federal judge they believe there is at least a chance he may be indicted.

They said Dean has been unable to learn from federal prosecutors if he is suspected of any crime. Similar statements came from lawyers representing Ehrlichman and former White House chief of staff H.R. Haldeman as all three men asked to be excused for the present from making depositions in a Watergate- connected civil suit. Haldeman and Ehrlichman resigned as a result of Watergate. Meanwhile, the deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency said he told Dean nearly 11 months ago that attempts to falsely implicate the CIA in the Watergate case could turn "a painful wound into a mortal one," a minor flap "into a multi-megaton explosion." In an affidavit supplied to senators but not publicly released, Army Lt.

Gen. Vernon A. Walters said that 10 days after the June 17, 1972, arrests inside Democratic party headquarters at the Watergate Dean told him "some witnesses were getting scared and were "I felt that someone had bungled badly and that the responsible parties should be fired," Walters said in the affidavit. "I said that no matter how scared they got, they could not involve the CIA because it was not involved in the bugging of the Watergate." The leadoff witness at today's hearing was to be Robert C. Odle, office manager of the re-election committee.

Following him on the schedule were Bruce Kehrli, an aide to Haldeman, and District of Columbia police Sgt, Paul Leeper, who helped arrest the Watergate burglars. Other developments spanned the range of Watergate investigations and activities. M. Christopher, former deputy attorney general, reportedly dropped out of contention for the position of special prosecutor in the government's Watergate investigation. His departure left Atty.

Elliot L. Richardson with just two names left from an original field of four finalists. Remaining are Justice William H. Erickson of the Colorado Supreme Court and David W. Peck, a retired New York state appellate judge.

From A-l Work: Cost of enlarging it to accommodate the additional districts is estimated at $2,343,892 for building and $314,715 for equipment.

That puts the total cost of the larger layout at $5,918,017. Paul Taylor, Strasburg-Franklin superintendent and acting JVS superintend dent, said some of the additional courses would require more expensive equipment, including heavy machinery. State and federal money will account for half of the school's $6 million cost. I Taylor told the board last night that at least one more school district is interested in joining the vocational district: He said he will wait until he hears from it before advising the state of the district's new makeup. HAS RESIGNED his Strasburg and JVS positions to become assistant executive director of the Buckeye Assn.

of School Administratdrs, effective Aug. 1. He gave his formal notice to the JVS board last night and it was accepted "with deep regret." Following the formal meeting, the board held an informal work session and set up an application and screening procedure for employment of a permanent JVS superintendent. The board briefly discussed employment of a fulltime JVS clerk-treasurer- secretary. The immediate need for a treasurer was emphasized as the new district will need money by July to begin business operations.

Taylor said he will contact the state examiner's office about borrowing money for that purpose. The first tax funds for the district will not be forthcoming until next January. The building is not expected to be ready for occupation before the fall of 1976. CARL PISSOCRA, chairman of the site committee, said negotiations to finalize purchase of the school site will be started immediately with county commissioners. Option on the 43-acre site was taken before the primary.

The land, owned by the Tuscarawas Campus, would be transferred to the commissioners, who would sell it to JVS. The Tuscarawas Campus, in turn, would be "reimbursed" with 43 acres from other county-owned land contiguous to the campus. Bruce Huston of Huston Associates in Willoughby, architects for the project, said he is negotiating for a building to house his staff. He repeated an offer to give space in it to JVS for office space until the school is completed. Huston told the board he will be ready to begin soil test borings next month.

DALE SHRIVER, Indian Valley superintendent, last night asked if the JVS board would be interested in purchasing $12,000 worth of equipment for a small engine repair course the IV district would like to start in its Roswell building. He said the equipment could be moved into the JVS building when it is completed. The board rejected the idea, after commending Shriyer for wanting to start a unit which will be included in the JVS curriculum. However, it was pointed out that the JVS board can borrow only $34,000 toward anticipated income between now and next January and said program purchases at this time would be impractical in view of possible planning needs. Charles Lorenz of New Philadelphia, president of the JVS board, read a prepared statement on behalf of the board, thanking voters of the four districts for approving the levy and also expressing appreciation to superintendents, instruction staffs, students and news media for their "untiring efforts and cooperation" in supporting the project.

The next JVS board meeting date will be announced by Supt. Taylor, after he receives definite information from the additional district which is contemplating joining JVS..
