Mitchell's lawyers told Sirica that by accepting his pardon, Nixon "has group of 400 potential jurors that they would be Judging the Watergate case. Sirica said because of publicity surrounding the Nixon pardon, the trial Jury would come from a completely new group. Attorneys for former White House aide R. Haldeman had said the original group of 400 would have prejudged the guilt of the defendants, if only because they would and sentenced in a court of law. "President Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon may meet the letter of the Constitution but it clearly violates its spirit," Proxmire said in a prepared statement Introducing the amendment.

"The power of the President to pardon should extend to proven violations of the law, not to every illegal act that an individual man might conceivably have committed during his period in public office," he said. Proxmire said his proposed amendment would "preserve the essential right of our legal system to try citizens for their misdeeds." concept of equal justice." They said the only reason Nixon goes free is his status as former President. A similar motion also went to the judge from former White House aide John D. Ehrliehman. Ehrllchman's lawyers said "media in the District of Columbia has determined that the Nixon administration was corrupt and has consciously selected its news coverage in a way so as to assure that public opinion will accept this view Sen.

William Proxmlre, today proposed a constitutional amendment to prohibit a President from granting a pardon unless a person has been convicted WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica has decided the pardon granted Richard M. Nixon is insufficient reason to throw out Watergate cover-up charges against the former President's subordinates. Shortly before Sirica declared the cover-up trial would go forward, the White House Indicated there will be no pardons for Watergate defendants while they still face trial.

The Senate also voted 55 to 24 on Thursday urging President Ford not to Issue further pardons until all the Watergate trials have been completed. And Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee said they favor having the special prosecutor disclose the evidence against Nixon. But Chairman Peter W. Rodino DN.J., said he does not agree with proposals to Indict and try Nixon despite the pardon which precludes any penalty. Although Sirica rejected requests from three cover-up defendants for dismissal of charges against them, he indicated some sympathy with problems of a wave of pretrial publicity.

The judge set back the start of the trial by one day to Oct. 1, so a new pool'of potential jurors can be selected.

Committee is Urged To Withhold Money But he said Nixon promised in the GSA counsel Harold S. Trimmer Jr. said WASHINGTON (AP) A House that if Sampson tried to get court-ordered tapes out of the vault and Nixon refused to use his key to open it, he could be forced to under penalty of contempt of court. Rep. Louis Stokes, D-Ohio, also objected to the money, partly because Nixon gets control of Watergate material.

Three Persons Feared Dead WOODSBORO, Tex. (AP) members of a family of five, including an infant boy, were feared drowned today after their camper pickup truck was swept off U.S. 77 by floodwaters. C. M.

Henkel, editor-publisher of the Refugio County Press, said three boats and two helicopters were searching the area between Refugio and Woodsboro for a missing man and two small boys. He said a woman, about 50, and a boy, 14, were rescued by Refugio County law enforcement officials as they clung to floating brush. Henkel said the occurrence was at a usually dry creek bed about a mile north of Woodsboro. It filled with water more than six feet deep as rains up to 14 inches hit the area. The runoff water was running off it subcommittee has been urged to withhold $450,000 of former President Richard M.

Nixon's $850,000 transition money until he makes a full disclosure on Watergate. Rep. Michael J. Harrington, appealed to the House executive offices subcommittee for that move after three of its members had objected to part or all of the $450,000 because Nixon controls the Watergate tapes and papers. "Quite frankly, I do not believe that Mr.

Nixon should be granted any of this money, at least not until he finally puts an end to the cover-up, releases the Watergate tapes and provides answers to the many still unresolved questions as to presidential misconduct," Harrington testified on Thursday. The $450,000 was requested by President Ford for Nixon's six-month transition to private life. An additional $400,000 was requested for him after that period under the Former Presidents Act. Rep. Tom Bevill, a subcommittee member, had said he did not believe the $450,000 was needed because part of it is for securing the tapes and he said there is no guarantee the public will ever have access to them.

"The government is not getting anything. He (Nixon) can sell anything or everything except the tapes, which he can destroy," Bevill said. General Services Administration chief Arthur F. Sampson said Nixon owns the Watergate tapes and papers and an agreement signed when President Ford pardoned him is designed to assure the information in them will be preserved for posterity as well as for court evidence. But Bevill said under terms of the agreement "the government is not assured of getting any record of any kind to preserve for history," Sampson acknowledged that Nixon could not be compelled under the agreement to release any tapes or papers to the public.

agreement to release some and the GSA chief said he is confident Nixon will keep his word. He also said White House lawyer Philip Buchen has said that GSA would listen to any tapes that were going to be destroyed. Bevill said that is not part of the agreement however. Deputy GSA counsel Herman W. Barth said the agreement does assure that none of Nixon's papers can be destroyed for three years and that none of the tapes can be destroyed for five years.

Sampson said his assurance of access to the Watergate tapes and papers, which are to be stored in a $110,000 vault near San Clemente, is the fact that he has one of two keys needed to open it, while Nixon has the other. Rep. Edward R. Royball, responded that "the federal government has ended up with the second key to Mr. Nixon's vault and that is about all we get." 10 Killed In Blast MADRID (AP) A powerful bomb rocked a restaurant only a few yards from police headquarters in the center of Madrid today.

"No foreign policy should be so fossilized that it cannot change when the need for change arises as it obviously appears to do in Ethiopia's case," said the paper. The military takeover also could expedite a settlement with the Eritrean Liberation Front, which has been fighting a guerrilla war for 10 years in Eritrea, Ethiopia's northernmost province.

Lt. Gen. Michael Andom, the armed forces chief of staff who was named temporary head of the government on Thursday, is an Eritrean. He recently toured the province and called for peace and unity, and many observers there believe the guerrillas might settle for the partial autonomy promised by the proposed new constitution. 380 were bused to South Boston High today, compared with 71 on Thursday, a mayor's office spokesman said.

Gen.

Aman An-dom in Ethiopia's revolution, apparently to prevent him from emerging as a new strong man with the overthrow of Emperor Haile Selassie. The 13-man committee issued a "correction" to an announcement that Aman was its chairman. It said he was only the spokesman, implying that he had no more status than the other 12 members. The 13 have warned the United States that unless it increases its supply of arms to counter Soviet shipments of tanks and MIG jets to neighboring Somalia, they may look elsewhere. The warning was reported by diplomats today.

The diplomatic observers believe the removal on Thursday of the 82-year-old emperor who once held absolute power may herald a major shift in relations with Washington, Ethiopia's chief source of aid.
