New Watergate Chief Investigator Under Fire WASHINGTON AP) Asst. Attv. Gen. Hpnrv Peter by those higher-ups who were behind the men caught in the Watergate with their burglar tools. Reuss said, however, that the investigation soon ran into the refusal to talk of important witnesses, including former Comm Secretary Maurice Stans, and that Patman called the committee to meet Oct.

3 to authorize subpoenas "before evidence could be destroyed and perjured testimony manufactured." But Reuss said that on Sept. 29, Petersen wrote the committee saying that "The public interest in a prompt and successful prosecution may be imperiled by widely publicized hearings held at this time." "The move was successful," Reuss said. "On Oct. 3 the committee, by a 20-15 vote, turned down the chairman's subpoena request." "Hearings by the Banking and Currency Committee last fall would no more have imperiled a successful prosecution than would hearings by the Ervin Committee today," Reuss said. A special Senate committee headed by Sen.

Sam J. Ervin, is now gearing up for full-scale public hearings into the Watergate affair and related questions. "What the Petersen Sept. 29 letter clearly did accomplish was a six months' delay in congressional oversight hearings," Reuss said. Petersen's letter, citing past cases of convictions overturned on appeal because of pretrial publicity, argued that "the basic rights of the defendants to a speedy, fair and impartial trial may be jeopardized by prejudicial publicity or the delay engendered by it." "The Department of Justice is highly concerned that a well publicized congressional investigation at this time will jeopardize the rights of criminal defendants and endanger the prospects of a prompt and successful prosecution," he wrote.

"For these reasons, the Department. that the committee give serious consideration to these concerns before holding hearings on this matter which will undoubtedly come to trial in the very near future." Meanwhile today White House counsel John W. Dean III was reported ready to testify before a federal grand jury that other presidential aides were involved in the Watergate affair. Over the weekend it was revealed that two top White House staff members, H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlich-man, have hired a lawyer to represent them in the case.

Henry S. Reuss, said today. "The President should promptly remove Mr. Petersen, or anyone else from the Department of Justice, as chief investigator and instead appoint an outside, uncompromised and unimpeachable citizen in whom the public has confidence," Reuss said in a statement.

Reuss is a member of the House Banking Committee. He said he suggested the investigation Chairman Wright Pat-man, undertook last August, focusing largely on transfers of funds among persons involved in the Watergate and between banks in this country and Mexico.

Their three-year-old child was taken into protective custody. Robinson was apprehended at a roadblock after he attempted to flee on horseback. Also arrested was a man known now as Martin James Lucas, 26.

though agents believe his identity to be an alias. AH gave arresting officers false identification. In addition to the local charges, Miss Mari and Bowyer are fugitives from federal warrants for smuggling hashish. They skipped on $15,000 bail each three years ago. Agents confiscated approximately four pounds of high-quality hashish, possibly from Pakistan, a small quantity of loose leaf marijuana and a large quantity of uncapsuled Brotherhood-brand Orange Sunshine LSD.

Deputies said this morning it appears as though LSD once was processed at the estate. State and federal agents had the estate, leased to Lucas by a Lake Tahoe land company, under surveillance for three weeks prior to Sunday's raid. Word from informants and from the "street" reportedly was that the Brotherhood was to have an Easter party at the estate. Agents thus decided to move in. Two agents each from federal, state and county drug agencies and three sheriff's detectives, armed with search warrants, hit the sprawling hilltop home at 6 a.m.

In addition to the drugs and paraphernalia, agents found numerous sets of identification materials, including out-of-state drivers licenses, blank licenses, phony draft cards and passports. The passports indicated the four had travelled extensively in Europe and the Far East. Further charges may stem from the altered and false ID materials. Agents also found photographs of the four with other known members of the organization. The Brotherhood, as explained by agents, is a multi-million dollar operation dealing in marijuana, cocaine, hashish and LSD.

It reportedly imports hashish and exports Orange Sunshine LSD.

MERCED. Calif. (AP) A gunman ho vowed never to be taken alive has been wounded by police to end a 400-mile spree of five abductions and two fatal shootings, authorities say. The escapade began with the kidnap-rape of a 19-year-old woman in South Lake Tahoe Friday and ended Sunday when police cut down John P. Bun-yard.

The Merced County sheriff's office said Bunyard was booked for investigation of murder in the shooting of two elderly women found in their motel rooms in Mariposa, 30 miles northeast of here. Bunyard was reported in sat-i a condition today, chained to a hospital bed and under a 24-hour guard. He had gunshot wounds in his arms and abdomen.

Merced Dist. Atty. Pat Hallford said Bunyard probably would be turned over to Mariposa County authorities later today because he faces two murder complaints there. He said hold orders also were placed on Bunyard by Oakland police on a kidnaping and rape warrant. The FBI in Sacramento said it was preparing complaints for two federal kidnaping charges against Bunyard.

In San Francisco, police said Bunyard was positively "linked" ith a series of attacks on women in the Nob Hill area in recent months, including the multiple stabbing of a Japanese student. The search for the man wanted in the Tahoe attack touched the Marysville and San Francisco Bay areas of Northern California before Bunyard's capture here. In all, two policemen were disarmed, several fired at and six cars commandeered. Police said Bunyard was holding a gun to the temple of a Southern California woman hostage when her husband knocked the gunman down to give officers a clear shot. Earlier Sunday, the bodies of Nancy L.

Kissinger said. A cornerstone of the charter is the continued presence of U.S. forces in Europe. Kissinger stressed this when he told the gathering of editors: "The President has asked me to state that America remains committed to doing its fair share in Atlantic defense. He is admantly opposed to unilateral withdrawans of U.S.

NEW YORK (AP) Henry A. Kissinger said today President Nixon seeks to build a new Atlantic Charter with America's European allies this year based on an easing of eco nomic frictions and on the continued presence of U.S. forces in Europe. The President's chief foreign policy adviser outlined a blueprint for a revitalized Atlantic alliance in an address prepared for the annual meeting of The Associated Press, presenting the administration first major policy statement in what Nixon has called "the year of Europe." The blueprint.

Kissinger said, "is not an American prescription but an appeal for a joint effort" to agree upon "a clear set of common objectives. "The historic opportunity for this generation is to build a new structure of international relations for the decades ahead. A revitalized Atlantic partnership is indispensable for it." Kissinger said Nixon is holding a series of talks with leaders of such Western European allies as Britain, Italy. West Germany and France because he believes that the political, military and economic issues "must be addressed at the highest level." ces will be maintained in Europe," Kissinger continued, "not simply as a hostage to trigger our nuclear weapons but as an essential contribution to an agreed and intelligible structure of western defense." Within the next few weeks. Lissinger said, the United States will present its suggestions to NATO for negotiations beginning later this year on mutual and balanced forced reductions in Europe.

He gave no specifics but did say that "our position will reflect the President's view that these negotiations are not a subterfuge to ithdraw U.S. forces regardless of consequences." "No formula for reductions is defensible whatever its domestic appeal or rationable if it undermine security," the presidential assistant said. Turning to coming trade negotiations ith Europe and Japan, Kissinger said a new equilibrium must be achieved. "The gradual accumulation of sometimes petty, sometimes majT economic disputes must be snded and be replaced by a determined commitment on both sides of the Atlantic to find cooperative solutions." he said. "We see these negotiations not as a test of strength but as a test of joint statesmanship.

"Kissinger reiterated U.S. concern over the European Economic Community's protective policies that restrict imports of American agricultural products. And in a latter apparent reference to trade policies, he said, "The Atlantic community cannot be an exclusive club.
