Perhaps symbolic of relaxation, a swimming pool maintenance man entered the grounds of Nixon's 26-acre Casa Pacifica Saturday.

A morning overcast sky held air temperature to about 70 for a time on this typical California coastline day The ocean temperature was 67 degrees but from a distance no activity could be seen on the Nixons beach There was as yet no indication whether the former President would maintain some sort of contact with news media or whether he would instead seek total privacy. Possibly uppermost in Nixon mind is whether he will be summoned from his private retreat back into the final unra- velings of the Watergate scandals that brought his resignation Beyond a possibility he could be indicted. Nixon also could be summoned as a witness in the forthcoming Watergate cover- up trial of some of his former top aides. Civil actions against him by individuals are also possible. Nixon faces these potential matters without the advice of lawyer James D.

St Clair, who was on the White House payroll as Nixon's chief defense counsel this year but said his service ended when Nixon left office. MRS.
