Jody Powell, President Carter's press secretary, declined Sunday night to comment on the affidavit. Meanwhile, White House aide Stuart Eizenstadt said a statement attributed to him in Time magazine that Lance will be forced out as budget director because of controversy over his banking practices is "a blasphemy" and "an incredible falsehood. Powell denied a report in the magazine's current issue that Carter had twice talked Lance out of resigning.

Time said it based that information on a "well-placed Atlanta businessmen who is close to both Lance and the White House." From Page 1 Nixon volvement in Watergate. His wife, Martha, died last year of cancer. Nixon said he isn't blaming Watergate on Martha Mitchell. "It might have happened anyway," he said. "Other things might have brought it on." Frost's first question to Nixon in the 11 days of taping the interviews last spring, was why he didn't burn the tapes that helped bring about his downfall.

The question led off the fifth show. "First, I didn't, believe that there was a reason to destroy them," Nixon said. "I didn't believe that there was anything on them that would be detrimental to I didn't destroy them because I felt it would have been an open admission, or at least appeared to be an admission 'well, I'm trying to cover something Nixon said also that he didn't think any authority could get the tapes out of the White House, a theory shot down by the courts. "If I had thought that on those tapes with the possibility, which there always was, that they would come out that there was conversation that was criminal I sure as the dickens would have destroyed them." One of (he early post-Watergate conversations in the White House between Nixon and staff chief H.R. Haldeman -was found to have been erased and the culprit has remained a mystery.

"I didn't do it because 1 never had to the machine on which the experts said the accident or erasure occurred." Nixon said "I never saw the tape or touched the machines, or put the earphones on or anything else," Nixon said. He said he believed the story told by his long-time secretary, Rose Mary Woods, who said Daily News-Sun. IkiMw.

Say Kissinger Knew in '72 Of Improper Korean Lobby NEW YORK (AP) -Congressional investigators said they have evidence indicating that Henry A. Kissinger was aware as early as 1972, when he was White House national security adviser, of allegedly improper Korean lobbying, the New York Times reported in today's editions. The investigators said they had similar evidence showing that Gen. Alexander M. Haig Kissinger's deputy, also knew about the covert Korean activity, the newspaper said.

The investigators said, Energy by 1979 and old age payments by 1983. It is likely, however, that only stopgap measures will be adopted this year, leaving substantive improvements for 1978 or later. A dispute over using federal money to finance abortions for poor women under Medicaid must be resolved, since it is holding up the appropriation to finance educational and social programs of the Health, Education and Welfare Department. The House version of the bill would permit government financing of abortions only when the mother's life is threatened. The Senate would permit financing in cases of serious medical consideration or when pregnancy resulted from rape or incest.

Both sides have rejected compromises. Enactment of a congressional budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 is expected promptly. The House is scheduled to vote Thursday on its Budget Committee's recommendation and the Senate may do likewise. The two versions still will have to be reconciled.

The House version envisions a $58.6 billion deficit, the Senate one of $64 billion. Once adopted, the budget is mandatory and spending bills exceeding its guidelines will be out of order. Agreement on a $110 billion defense appropriation is expected. An item to be resolved is whether to provide $1.4 billion to start production of the Bl bomber. The House included the item before President Carter recommended against it.

The Senate omitted the funds. The House is expected to go along with the President. she might have accidentally erased 4'2 to 5 minutes while transcribing the tape. "Now as to who caused the rest of it, I simply can't say," Nixon said. 2220 N.

The newspaper said the new information from investigators refines and adds names to reports available since last fall that senior Nixon administration officials knew about Korean plans almost from their inception in 1970. The documentary evidence constituted what the investigtors called a "paper trail" that led across the desks of Kissinger, who became secretary of state in 1973, and Haig, according to the Times article written in its Washington office. The investigators did not identify the documents, but the Times said it learned from other sources that they came from the Central Intelligence Agency, earlier reported to have agents in the presidential mansion in Seoul, and from the National Security Agency, said to have intercepted South Korean cable traffic between Seoul and Washington.

The Times reported that the congressional investigators said they had evidence that Kissinger and Haig left the matter in hands of their subordinates. Kissinger, who maintains a Washington office, and Haig, now commander of North Atlantic Treaty Organization, were not reached for comment on the report, the newspaper said. From Page 1 Chinatown past my husband's head and into the mouth of the girl behind us. She was sitting on the floor and I saw a bullet hit her face. "It seemed like the shooting took forever, but it only lasted a minute.

There were bodies all over, people screaming. My husband was the first one up. I ran towards the kitchen and then 1 guess I passed out." "You hear about these things, you read about them," her husband said Sunday. "It was just like we went to a movie last night. Only it was real." Based on the sketchy description by one diner, police believe the gunmen were Oriental youths.

From Page 1 G. Liddy A day before his release, Liddy will appear before a U. S. magistrate in Williamsport, to take a pauper's oath and seek delay of payment of a $40,000 fine, removing the only obstacle to his freedom. Liddy and six others were in dieted on Sept.

15, 1972, on six counts of conspiracy, burglary and wiretapping. Liddy was convicted on Jan. 30, 1973, on all counts. He was sentenced on March 23,1973, to a prison term of from six years and eight months to 20 years and fined $40,000. He went to prison on Jan.

30, 1973, before his sentencing, because he was unable to make bail. He has been out of prison only 99 days since then, in late 1974 and early 1975, pending unsuccessful appeals that ended with the U.S. Supreme Court refusing to hear his case. Judge John J. Sirica in 1975 refused Liddy's motion for a reduction of sentence, saying: "In short, this defendant has not shown the court the slightest remorse or regret for his actions, and has not given the court even a hint of contrition or sorrow, nor has he made any attempt to compensate for his illegal-actions by trying to aid our system of justice in its search for the truth." Liddy's silence carried to the point that in 1973 he refused even to give his name to a House committee investigating Watergate.

He was convicted after a half-day trial on two counts of refusing to testify before a congressional committee and received a suspended six months sentence. Of his six teammates on the Watergate burglary squad, all of whom cooperated with prosecutors and served less time, Liddy said: "They sold themselves for less time. I don't do that." President Carter reduced Liddy's sentence to a maximum eight years last April, making him eligible for parole July 9. The Parole Board met in July and set the date of his release for Sept. 7.

In ordering the commutation, Carter said, "It has been made to appear that the ends of justice do not require that the aforesaid sentence be served in its entirety." While in prison, Liddy cnam- pioned prisoners' rights as a jailhouse lawyer. He had served most of his time in Danbury, then last January he was transfered to the minimum security facility at Allenwood, which has neither walls nor guard towers and is much closer his home.

Crocodile Is Slain After Killing Boy MIAMI (AP) For 30 years Bill Haast ran a tourist attraction and he was comfortable about what he was doing. Now he lives in the middle of a nightmare filled with selfdoubt. "I've created a monster," said a shaken Haast, who has closed the Serpentarium where Cookie, a one-ton crocodile, killed a little boy.

Haast killed the crocodile himself early Sunday behind the Serpentarium's locked doors. The victim, 6-year-old David Marc Wasson of West Palm Beach, had fallen from a 5-foot masonry wall into the pit where the 12-foot Nile crocodile lived. The normally sluggish reptile moved "like lightning," said one game officer, and grabbed the boy. The father, bystanders and Haast beat at Cookie but the crocodile went into its water hole with the boy clamped in its jaws. The youngster's body floated to the surface after Cookie was jabbed in the eye.

Mrs. Karen Wasson said a medical examiner's report showed the youngster died instantly when crushed by the crocodile. "Thank God, there was no pain," Mrs. Wasson said. Haast, a recognized expert on snakes and venom, sat down Saturday night to write the boy's parents, but said he couldn't finish the letter.

He said he went to bed telling himself: "I'll have to kill Cookie." Early Sunday he arose and took from a desk drawer a pistol he'd been given 32 years ago by a soldier returning from World War II. "1 never (nought I'd have to use it," he said. Haast fired more than 20 shots into the crocodile. Sewing Course H. Martinez Children's Rites Pend Services for Heraldo S.

A DAILY MESSAGE FROM Newspaper Bible MATTHEW 26: 3-25 3 At that very moment the chief priests anil other Jewish officials were niL'ding al Ibe residence of Caiaphas the High Priest, 4 To discuss ways of capturing Jesus quietly, and killing Him. 5 "But not during the Passover celebration," they agreed, "for there would be a not." 6 Jesus now proceeded to Bethany, to the home of Simon the leper.

7 While He was eating, a woman came in uilft a bottle of very expensive perfume, and poured it ovtr His head. 8,9 The disciples were indignant. "What a waste of good money," they said. "Why, she could have sold it for a fortune anil given it to the poor." 10 Jesus knew were thinking, jnd said, "Vvliy art. you criticising her? For she has done a good thing to Me.

11 You will always have the poor among you, but you won'l always have Me. 12 She has poured this perfume on Me to prepare My body for burial. 13 And she will always be remembered for this deed- The story of what she has done will be told throughout the whole world, where ver the Good News is preached." 14 Then Judas Iscanot. one of ilu- twelve apoMles, went to the chief 15 And asked, "How much will you pay me to get Jesus into your hands'" And they gave him thirty silver coins 16l rom that time on, Judas watched for an opportunity to betrjy Jesus to them. 17 On the first day of the Passover ceremonies, when bread made with yeast was purged from every Jewish home, the disciples came to Jesus and askfd, "Where shall we plan to eat the Passover?" 18 He replied, "Go into the city and see Mr.
