The announcement of the rejection of Abernathy's resignation and his later acceptance of the presidency were greeted by cheers and applause from the 1,000 delegates attending the SCLC's 16th annual convention at St. John's Missionary Baptist church here. Abernathy, successor to Martin Luther King Jr. as SCLC president, said he would serve for at least one more year and told delegates now is a "time for unity." He hugged Vernon E.

"Never have we as a panel or as individuals ever suggested that the President was aware of or involved in the break-in." Nixon deplored the abuses in the 1972 campaign, but said a few overzealous people should not be permitted "to tar the reputation of the millions of dedicated Americans who fought hard but clean for the candidates of their choice in 1972." He pledged to do all he could to ensure one of the results of Watergate "is a new level of political decency and integrity in America." Nixon said from the time of the break-in "I pressed repeatedly to know the facts and particularly whether there was any involvement by anyone at the White House." He said he depended on Justice Department and FBI investigations and assigned White House counsel, John W. Dean III, to monitor those investigations. But through the summer of 1972, Nixon said, he was told no White House members were involved.

"I trusted the agencies conducting the investigations," Nixon said. "I did not believe the newspaper accounts that suggested a cover-up. I was convinced that there was no -up, because I was convinced that no one had anything to cover up." Nixon only obliquely referred to former acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray III's assertion that he told the President on July 6 last year that "people on your staff are trying to mortally wound you by using the CIA and to cover up the probe. Nixon said his own investigation was prompted because "I learned of some of the activities upon which charges of cover-up are now based." He said he was told of fund-raising for the Watergate defendants, but not that the money was to buy silence.

Nixon added that, he was told a member of his staff had talked to one of the defendants about clemency "but not that offers of clemency had been made." And he said he learned about blackmail attempts by E. Howard Hunt, demanding $120,000, "as the price of not talking about other activities, unrelated to Watergate, in which he had engaged." The President said the allegations were in general terms and not supported by details or evidence. The statement conflicts with Dean's testimony, who said he was specific and told Nixon in March that the demands might reach $1 million. Dean said the President said that should be no problem.

Teachers Sue To Restore Cuts In Pension Fund SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP)- The Illinois Federation of Teachers sued in the Illinois Supreme Court on Monday to recover teachers pensions funds approved by the General Assembly but vetoed by the governor. The federation, an AFLCIO affiliate, represents more than 40,000 public school and college teachers and other education workers. Pensions systems covered by the suit include those of Chicago and downstate teachers and all employes of state junior colleges and universities. The suit alleges that Gov.

Daniel Walker and other officers of the state acted improperly in refusing the pay the state's contribution to the teachers pension systems. The legislature approved only the amounts required by law, Oscar Weil, federation executive director, said. The IFT filed suit in March 1972, in the Illinois Court of Claims to obtain payment of funds withheld over many years. More About UNITED FUND dren's Association.
