Here! What Time Is It, Anyway? Colson Gets One One-to-Three WASHINGTON (AP) Former White House aide Charles W. Colson, sentenced today to one-to-three years in prison, said he sought to damage the reputation of Pentagon Papers figure Daniel Ellsberg at President Nixon's request. Colson, once one of President Nixon's highest ranking advisers, was sentenced for obstructing justice by attempting to influence the outcome of Ellsberg's trial on charges stemming from publication of the Pentagon Papers in 1971. In addition to the prison sentence he was fined $5,000 by U.

S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell. Maximum penalty on the charge would have been five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. "The President on numerous occasions urged me to disseminate damaging information about Daniel Ellsberg, including information about Ellsberg's attorney and others with whom Ellsberg had been in contact," Colson said. "I don't mean to shift the responsibility to the President," Colson said in a statement before his sentencing.

"I believed what I was doing was right and the President believed he was acting in the national interest." "I had one rule: To do what the President wanted done," Colson said. He said he never thought that anything he might do would violate anyone's constitutional rights. "In fairness to the President," Colson added, "it should be realized the government at that time was in the most sensitive negotiation maintaining secrecy of these negotiations was absolutely vital." U.S. District Judge Gerhard A. Gesell also imposed a $5,000 fine.

Maximum penalty on the charge would have been five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. "For years I worked day and night. I believed I was making a great personal sacrifice for my country, Colson said before sentencing. "This experience has brought a complete re-examination of myself and I will spend the rest of my life regretting what I have done," he said. After Colson's 12-minute statement to the judge, his lawyer spent a full half-hour asking that Colson be placed on probation rather than be sent to prison.

Attorney David I. Shapiro told Gesell that Colson should not be sent to prison because of "public He said sending Colson to prison "would be, in my view, a most popular decision. It would also be a terribly shortsighted The judge interrupted him saying, "You're barking up the wrong tree you are beating a dead horse." Gesell said public opinion would not sway him one way or the other. As he sentenced the defendant, Gesell said, 'The court does recognize that Colson's public image was somewhat distorted" but that he had to send him to prison. The sentence means that Colson must serve at least one year at an institution not yet designated.

The judge gave him until July 8 to surrender. Colson had been charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstructing justice in the Watergate cover-up case and with conspiracy to violate the civil rights of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist in the plumbers case. Both those charges were dismissed today. Colson pleaded guilty on June 3 to a newly drawn charge of obstructing justice. WENDELL ELLIOTT SR.
