Jaworski had filed the subpoena March 15. Nixon was to have responded to it today. But Jaworski said that at the request of Nixon's. Watergate attorney, James St. Clair, he had 'delayed' the deadline to Friday.

Jaworski said that although he had agreed to the White. House request for a felt he had to publicly re- emphasize the need "for material covered, under this subpoena." Jaworski's action came after Sen. Howard Baker, vice chairman of the Senate Watergate Committee.declared that "the time for conciliation is at hand," and urged that House investigators and the White House both "give a little" on demands for 42 presidential tapes. Neither Jaworski nor the White House revealed -what additional material he sought in the subpoena. On Feb.

14, Jaworski told James 0. Eastland, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, that the White House refused to give him additional material to assist his investigation. He had asked for 27 documents. Nixon also has refused to surrender 42 tapes and documents, that the House Judiciary Committee, which' is studying the possibility of impeaching Nixon, has said is necessary for its investigation. The White House has said the committee wants to conduct a "fishing expedition" into confidential presidential files.

During a televised appearance, in Houston Tuesday, Nixon hinted he might refuse to honor a subpoena from the House committee, but he made no mention of Jaworski's subpoena which had been served on him five days earlier on March 15. Baker urged. Sunday that there be a meeting of the minds' between Nixon and the Judiciary committee on the 42 tapes. "If there is any reasonable claim that those tapes or any other documents are relevant, I think the President ought to give them," said Baker. "That would better serve the institution of the, presidency and certainly the country." However; thg Tennessee Republican said the House Judiciary Committee ought to "honor whatever reasonable requests the President makes, such as the presence of counsel in the principal deliberations and investigations of the committee."

Haldeman and Gordon Strachan, both Watergate defendants, said Sunday they did not plan to appeal to the Supreme Court today an appeals court ruling that the House Judiciary Committee must receive a sealed grand jury report purportedly dealing with Nixon's handling of the Watergate cover-up.

Jerome Waldie of Antioch, right, who is seeking theDemocratic nomination for governor, quips for the benefit of Tom Martin, his Ukiah area campaign co-chairman, prior to getting down, to the basic issues of the campaign. Close to 100 persons turned out Saturday noon at the Ukiah Grange hall to hear Waldie's views on im- peachmentof the president, and what la'y behind the energy crisis. Demo hopeful lowers boom oil companies are Waldie's targets By MARK RAYMOND The House of Representative will more than likely impeach President Nixon, but if it doesn't occur, it will be very destructive to the country, Cong. Jerome Waldie told supporters, in Ukiah Saturday. Waldie is seeking the Democratic nomination for Governor in the June 4 primary.

The Antioch representative is a member of the House Judiciary Committee, 4 "If impeachment of the President doesn't occur, will be destructive to this country," Waldie toid the gathering at the Ukiah Grange hall. "If we tolerate immorality at the highest level of government, it will set the stage for immorality down to the lowest elected official. It is desperately dangerous." "The President is confused about the relationship between the President and the Presidency. He feels that anything that diminishes the President diminishes the Presidency. I feel that anything that diminishes this President enhances the Presidency." Waldie feels the decision to impeach will occur in the House no later than April 30.

The sealed Grand Jury report handed down by Judge John J. Sirica will weigh that decision, he added. Waldie noted that for the House to impeach a President requires only a reasonable cause to believe "misconduct in office" has occurred. For the Senate to convict the President, it must be con- virice'd "beyond a reasonable doubt" that crimes were committed. The East Bay Congressman also had unkind words for the.

oil companies. "The stranglehold the oil companies have qiv this country is equal to and maintained by the stranglehold they have on the political system," he charged. "We ought to be regulating the oil companies, but we won't until the practices of campaign financing in this country are materially altered. There is no way a candidate can- receive large sums of; money from an interest without having his independence to regulate compromised." Waldie is taking no large corporate or special interest contributions in his campaign, and is a strong supporter of public campaign financing and limits on campaign spending. "I have by far the least financed campaign in the state," he indicated.

"It is also probably the heaviest in terms of volunteers. "If I'm elected, it'll probably be the most exciting four years in office because I'll go in there without owing anybody." Waldie has been conducting a walking campaign, hiking from the Mexican border to Santa'Barbara in one jaunt; and from Pumpkin Center near Bakerjsfield to Sacramento on another. He most recently completed a walk from Sacramento to San VOne of the most moving incidents of the, walk was when a girl Vacaville came up to me and 'I hope you get elected I asked her why, and she said, 'Because you look happy, and we need a happy governor'." Waldie spoke on the farm labor issue in the central valley, and the forces at work there. The farm owners feel Chavez and his farm workers are a threat. The peculiar aspect is that their ability to have basic rights is a threat.

"On one side are the concert with the commercial economic interests in concert with the press of the valley, in concert with the most powerful union around, the Teamsters. Against all that Chavez and a decimated union is a threat. I never got an articulate answer as to why they were considered a threat." "I suspect that is because the aspirations and hopes of the people oppressed represent a social issue, not a labor dispute." "My philosophy of government is that the powerful are well represented and really don't need government to represent them. When we have a sitaution of a powerless group, and the Democratic party doesn't stand with them, we're lost." stated that most people feel the gasoline shortage was contrived by the oil companies to eliminate. environmental restrictions, jack up prices, and eliminate competition.

"They are succeeding," he interjected. The gubernatorial candidate suggested that he would control the oil companies by asking the state lands commission to examine all state leases to oil companies for possible violations, monitor for compliance, and develop a state corporation to compete in the development of oil resources. He also advocated divesting the companies of their service stations to separate the distribution of products from the development of the resource. Waldie pinpointed his major issues as land use, assistance to education, and mental health services.

Authorities report that Roe, lone occupant of. the rolled down" a window of his sinking car and exited from the vehicle. However, he may have become confused or suffered a heart attack or otherwise been unable to swim the 40 feet or so: to shore. His body was recovered at 12:30 p.m. Sunday by a Lake County sheriff's office boat patrol.

The. body was recovered near the site where" the submerged car was spotted about 2:30 a.m. by a passerby because the lights of the car were on. Roe had been reported as missing by his wife at 5 a.m. when she called the sheriff's Highway Patrolmen report that the accident occurred about 2 a.m.

Sunday when the Roe vehicle was traveling on Highway 20 west of Foothill Drive in the Lucerne area. He was westbound qn Highway 20 and apparently overcorrected on a slight curve.

Funeral arrangements are pending at Jones Mortuary in Paving way for Nixon visit Kissinger-Brezhnev a.

open Moscow talks MOSCOW (UPI) Soviet leader Leonid I. Brezhnev opened talks today with U.S., Secretary of State Kissinger and expressed hope of reaching. a new Strategic Arms Limitation (SALT) rrient this year. The Communist Party general secretary, made the comment to newsmen just before a three-hour meeting at the Kremlin with Kissinger. Kissinger later said both' sides are determined to overcome obstacles to better Soviet-American relations, including domestic criticism in the United States to the effect that detente is.working to Soviet advantage.

"This period of cooperation, of dealing with each other cooperatively and fairly, which was started two years ago, has gained in strength and will continue," Kissinger told a luncheon given by Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromykp. Kissinger said obstacles to this cooperation arise but, "We are determined to remove them. Occasionally we find domestic criticism, but we are determined to overcome it." Kissinger said that the greatest goal of the Nixon administration is that "over the next three years we can make the. relationship that has grown up between our two peoples irreversible." The Kissinger visit is expejted to pave the way for Russian visit by President Nixon.

While, agreement on a new arms limitation agreement will be the main issue in the three days of talks, other problems include differences on trade and the Middle East that have cooled the detente between the two powers. Both men were in an expansive, bantering mood when entered the Kremlin room where the Soviet Politburo meets every Thursday. Asked about the prospects for a SALT agreement this year the target date set by Nixon, Brezhnev replied: "I take an optimistic view on that. We have made a very good beginning on that process. The further we proceed from the date (of the first SALT agreement in 1972), people will really appreciate the importance of that significant step." "That document speaks of peace and good neighborliness because the only other alternative is war.

There is no other 1 When Kissinger entered, the room' a moment later, Brezhnev told him he had been talking to the press. "I told them was optimistic and they agreed with me' that all want peace. That makes it easier to start." Brezhnev also expressed the opinion that "relations point (with the United States) are good. There is much work to do at this time." "You do want it better, dpnt you?" a newsman asked. "There are such people who would like to see things worse," Brezhnev replied.

Kissinger arrived Sunday night for an expected three days of talks with Brezhnev and other Soviet officials. The major issue before them is the SALT negotiations that are now stalemated in Geneva. Kissinger said he also would discuss the controversy in the United States over trade with the Soviet Union and his Middle East diplomacy. Hearst food giveaway resumes i SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) Thousands of persons turned out in heavy rain today to pick up boxes that contained steaks and fresh produce in the resumption of the food giveaway program demanded by the terrorist kidnapers of Patricia Hearst. Although the distribution at 17 San FVancisco area locations was scheduled to start at 8 a.m., many persons got in line hours early despite the downpour.

Operators of the "People In Need" program sponsored by Patricia's father, Randolph A. Hearst, said the giveaway was intended to come as close as possible to the $70 worth of free groceries demanded by the Symbionese Liberation Army which kidnaped the girl on Feb. 4. A typical box distributed at a center in the predominantly Latin-American Mission district pf San Francisco included four or five steaks, some of them T-bone cuts, two packages of frozen filet of sole, a frozen chicken, a dozen eggs, a quart of milk, a jar of peanut butter, a package of fresh produce that included yams, onions, oranges, apples and bananas, and other foodstuffs. The line at center stretched for more than two blocks with about 400-500 persons waiting at 8 a.m.

Because of the crowd, the center had" begun handing out the food early. There were no restrictions on how many boxes could be taken by one person and a number had more than one. One man wheeled two of the food boxes away in a wheelchair, and another had a box on his shoulder while limping along on one crutch. Although they had been asked to bring, shopping carts by the PIN operators, a number of persons turned up instead driving cars some of them Cadillacs. One woman left balancing a box on her head.

Several boxes were being loaded into the same automobile. No one appeared cheerful. "I've been waiting in the rain since six o'clock," One man said. The distribution was possibly the last under the P.eople in Need program. Spokesmen for PIN said they had about $1 million left to devote to the program and that it all might be spent today.

The food program is financed by Randolph Hearst, president and editor of the, San Francisco Examiner, in an effort to, finally free his daughter who was abducted Feb. 4.. After the kidnaping, the SLA demanded Hearst give $70 worth of food to all California's poor, even before negotiations for his daughter's release could begin. But the giveaway as originally set up came to an abrupt halt two weeks ago after the SLA kidnapers labeled it only "crumbs" for die people. Anne's testimony vital in kidnap attempt case is new Co.

Rockefeller LONDON (UPI) Princess Anne might be the first member of the immediate royal family to testify in coiiirt in a criminal case in this century if the man who allegedly attempted to kidnap her goes on trial, legal sources said today. They said the testimony of the daughter of Queen Elizabeth could be vital both to the prosecution and to the the prosecution, as the intended victim who saw it all happen, to the defense in support of a possible plea to a lesser charge than attempted murder. Only Elizabeth among Britons cannot be summoned in a court case. While this exemption theoretically does not apply to royalty below the sovereign, in practice King Edward VII, as Prince of' Wales, was the last member of the immediate blood royal actually to take the stand in court divorce case in 1870 and a notorious baccarat gambling scandal Scotland Yard has charged Ian Ball, 26, a man of many aliases, with the attempted murder of the Princess' bodyguard, detective inspector James Beaton, one of four men gunned down when a royal limousine carrying Anhe and her husband, Capt. Mark Phillips, was ambushed near Buckingham Palace Wednesday night.

Ball was held without bail for a week in Magistrate's Court last Thursday to give police time to search, as they- for possible associates and to examine the source, of "large sums" of money in his bank account.
