Dean admitted borrowing campaign money to finance his honeymoon, and was iin- niedialely called an "embezzler" by Senate Republican Under Hugh Scott. There were scant weekend developments in the scandal. A new Gallup Poll showed President Nixon's popularity liasn't budged from its record low first reached last month. Of those questioned during the first week of June, 44 per cent approved of ihe way Nixon is handling his job, and ID per cent disapproved. At Nixon's peak of popularity last January, 68 per cent approved.

Herbert G. Klein, the President's outgoing communications director, predicted Nixon soon will hold a news conference. But he said Nixon will decline to answer sonw questions about individuals involved in the affair so as not to prejudice their legal rights. Without mentioning anyone by name, Klein blamed the wiretapping upon persons to whom the President had delegated authority. He said the President had been pained to find earlier this year that his aides had misled him.

And he said misinformation had been given to presidential press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler. Klein spoke Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." Dean is expected to open his testimony Monday with a lengthy statement, taking perhaps several hours to read. The questioning that will follow may take two or three full days. KNOX Glenn I).
