Dean, who was fired from his job as Nixon's White House attorney April 30, reportedly has told investigators informally that he can implicate a number of high officials including former Attorney General John N. Mitchell and highranking former White House aides in the political espionage plot or its coverup. Dean has been seeking total immunity in exchange for his grand jury cooperation.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Seymour Glanzer told Sirica at a hearing Monday that the grand jury itself had requested Dean's appearance. Agnew in his St. Louis speech charged that innocent men were being ruined by the Senate inquiry. He said the committee lacked procedural safeguards and "can hardly hope to find the truth and can hardly fail to muddy the waters of justice bevond redemption." "There is no question whatever that some men despite their innocence will be ruined by all this, even though I am sure the Senate intended nothing of the kid when it commissioned this investigation," Agnew said.

WASHINGTON (UPI) Rejecting Spiro Agnew's view that it was likely "to muddy the waters of justice," the Senate Watergate Committee prepared today to extend its probe of the century's greatest political scandal by grilling one of President Nixon's chief campaign aides. Sen. Sam J. Ervin the committee chairman, late Friday used a biblical quote to quietly turn aside the vice president's suggestion in a St. Louis speech earlier Friday that the Senate hearings be deferred until the special Watergate prosecutor has a chance to develop his case.

"The King James version of the Bible says 'a soft answer turns away wrath, while grevious words stir up Ervin said in confirming the hearings would continue this morning as scheduled. "I deeply regret the vice president does not approve of the activities of the committee," the North Carolina Democrat added. "Notwithstanding his disapproval, the committee will continue to perform its duty fairly and fully with a view toward informing the Senate and the American people with respect to what the truth is." Stans to be Called Today The seven-member committee planned to call as a witness today Maurice H. Stans, the former Commerce secretary, who directed Nixon's campaign fund raising in 1972. Stans is under indictment in New York on charges of perjury and mittee of Nixon's re-election organization with the General Accounting Office (GAO) showed Hebert Kalmbach, Nixon's personal lawyer, collected $75,000 for "an urgent White House project." The money apparently went to the Watergate burglars.

Ronald L. Ziegler, the White House spokesman, admitted he erred last March 25 when he told reporters Nixon had spoken that day by telephone with his since-fired counsel Dean. Ziegler said he made the misstatement because of an "incorrect impression" he gained from the President. In Santa Ana, attorney Henry Rothblatt said Nixon would be named as a defendant in a $1.5 million civil lawsuit to be filed this week by convicted Watergate burglar James W. McCord.

Rothblatt said Nixon was the "moving force that got my client involved" in the Watergate affair. The finance committee's report to the GAO also showed that an unidentified Philippine national contributed $30,000 in cash "on behalf of himself and certain friends" to Nixon's campaign last June 29. The committee said it returned the contribution "after a brief" time after receiving a legal opinion questioning the legality of receiving donations from foreign nations..
