THE DERRICK. OOOty.Pa. PtaBeMMBl UeNevsrtaari THURSDAY MORNING, MAYM, U7I Alch Reveals Plan To Get Nixon Says James McCord Made False Claims WASHINGTON (AP) -The lawyer who represented James W. McCord Jr. at the Watergate trial testified Wednesday he never suggested that McCord should blame the CIA for the break-in at Democratic party headquarters.

In a IVi hour appearance before the Senate Watergate committee, Gerald Alch angrily accused his former client of making allegations against him that are "in some instances completely false and in other instances have been twisted out of context into untruths" to serve some unknown purpose. "What kind of man is this?" Alch said he asked himself after McCord accused him last Friday of pressing the CIA defense. Alch outlined a relationship (hat ranged from effusive praise to unanswered telephone calls and finally replacement after McCord's conspiracy-burglary-wiretap conviction with attorney Bernard W. Fensterwald representing him. And, with Fensterwald sitting a few rows behind him, Alch quoted FensterwaH as saying at one point: "We're going after the President of the United States." Earlier, the senators heard two former White House em- ployes say they knew they were breaking the law by relaying executive clemency offers to McCord in the midst of the trial.

John J. CaulfieM said he was spurred on in the belief that President Nixon had made the offer. BUT ALCH said he was totally ignorant of it if such offers were made. McCord had said that he received executive denency offers repeatedly, from CaulBeW and fellow Watergate defendant E. Howard Hunt--dating back to September 1972.

McCord was in the hearing room during part of the time Alch was reading his statement, then retired to a stairwell to (CMttamed IS) GERALD ALCH Attacks Friday Richardson Wins Confirmation, Launch ox Nears Senate Green Light JUST FOB HIM The trae graduate of the claw of 1173, Lex Tbompsoi, waits the platton to he awarded Us diploma.
