term to sophy and theology more than anything 7s Washington -A panel of experts concluded in a report released yesterday that an lBli-minute section of a White House tape recording was erased by someone operating the keyboard manually at least five times But the panel said its report no inferences about such questions as whether the erasure and buzz were made accidentally or intentionally or when or by what person or It said of who made the buzz or when or why did not come within the scope of our James St Clair White House lawyer immediately took issue with the findings saying the report the false impression that all portions of the erasure were done manually and St Glair and an expert hired independently by the White House objected to the conclusion that a faulty power supply part could not have caused the erasure The section is in a recording of a conversation President Nixon had with Halde-man then Chief of Staff on June 20 1972 three days after the Watergate break-in It was discovered last year when the White House prepared to turn over subpoenaed tapes to John Sirica US District judge St Clair had asked Stanford Research Institute to provide technical consultation to the panel which was selected jointly by the White House and the special Watergate prosecutor Dr Michael Hecker senior research engineer presented the institute review of the report: substance of our disagreement is that the panel finally and irrevocably dismissed the possibility that a faulty machine was involved in producing the erasure We believe that the Uher 5000 tape recorder was electronically faulty at the time when the erasure was The panel presented the same conclusions as in a preliminary report on Jan 15 but backed them with extensive technical data It said it was certain that the recorder used by Rose Mary Woods president secretary in transcribing the June 20 tape was probably the machine on which the erasure occurred Miss Woods had testified she accidentally pushed the record-erase button at the same time keeping her foot on a pedal while answering her telephone for four to five minutes After that she said she noticed that a section had been erased a 1

aviation course at the Army Aviation School here But the lieutenant is decidedly different Yesterday Sally Woolfolk who grew up in Overland Park Kan was awarded her wings thus becoming the first woman aviator That bit of military history seems to carry more weight with the Army brass who are anything but speechless about their living proof of the egalitarianism than with the 25-year-old Lt Wool-folk who to -all appearances has taken the fame and publicity in stride just as she took on a course in which an average of 20 per cent of the cadets wash out The lieutenant who has been described by a fellow officer as very pleasant blend of lib and military says she is proud of her achievement but insists it is the same kind of personal satisfaction any cadet man or woman feels after successfully completing a gruelling program As for carrying the weight of rights on her shoulders Lieutenant Wool-folk said that as women go she is not that much different from anyone else times

Kansas State College at Pittsburg receiving her degree in history in December 1972 A first marriage ended in divorce Her original plans called for a high school teaching job but reflecting on the

and then went to Ft Huachuca Ariz for a military intelligence officers basic course Also taking the course was Capt Dan Murphy a 27-year- old Army aviator who had flown combat missions In Vietnam The

thing that worries me Suppose nobody notices shaved it off? By Bill Vaughan Associate Editor In preparation for the impending shaving off of my mustache I am working on a repertoire of answers to comments that will come my way when my face streaks unclad before an unaccustomed world Too many men make the mistake of growing mustaches or shaving them off without adequate conversational preparation The literature on the subject is meager to the point of nonexistence Dictionaries of quotations abound with good lines that famous men got off when they were about to be separated from their heads but I seem to find any memorable remarks on the occasion of the depilation of the upper lip So 1 have to blaze new trails and I hope my pioneering efforts are of some assistance to posterity One that 1 rather like is more or less tailored for use on sports fans but need not be reserved for them exclusively: Records were made to be broken and mustaches were grown to be shaved For the man who still clings to his mustache several approaches come to mind: guess what finally did it was when my wife said I looked like has to grow up some foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small upper CAPT TOM DAILEY to thank my friends who gave me the benefit of the doubt I have made it without it My friends stayed with me all the way I thank them Dailey (hen began crying again and his wife Mrs Carolyn Dailey with her arm around her husband continued sobbing for an honeat man is unbelievably Mahoney said been through hell since November 1973 Now he is back where he belongs on the po-See DAILEY on Page 4 For a more general audience I prefer something deeply philosophical such as man in his lifetime is permitted one tragic love affair one green suit and one Or perhaps the approach should be light got tired of being mistaken for Paul Newman or asked if I were a pitcher for the Oakland Then there is the practical tack: lawyer has informed me that since I had no mustache when I had my license picture taken I would be in serious trouble if I were stopped by the police looking like the picture on your license is regarded as prlma facie evidence of intent to deceive and elude A similar response but with an aided touch of class is to say that you had to shave off your mustache to conform to your passport photograph I might recount the experiences of a friend who was finally driven to dispensing with his mustache because it was costing him business Have The Kansas City Star and Times delivered to you each day Dial 221-6200 and your subscript tion will begin right away Adv.
