PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE FRIDAY, MAY 25, 2001 B-5 LOCAL NEWS OBITUARIES PHILIP V.CUCHBJ Lawyer paved way for Ford to succeed Nixon Henry Kissinger, Robert Hartman and Jack Marsh. "Buchen, I knew already, was inclined to favor the idea," Ford wrote, adding that Haig and Kissinger also supported it. Mr. Buchen convinced Ford that he had the authority to pardon Nixon before the former president was indicted for any crimes. Mr.

Buchen was involved in negotiating the agreement with Nixon's lawyers for sharing ownership of his presidential papers and tapes. But Mr. Buchen never obtained the full confession of guilt in the Watergate case that he had recommended that Ford seek from Nixon in return for a pardon, though he argued that by accepting the pardon Nixon had implicitly admitted guilt. Though the pardon set off a firestorm of criticism and was cited in Ford's loss in the 1976 election, it has come to be regarded more evenhandedly. This week, Ford was honored for issuing the pardon by the John Kennedy Library with its Profile in Courage award.

Born in Sheboygan, on Feb. 17, 1916, Mr. Buchen had polio as a boy and thereafter walked with a cane. He studied law at the University of Michigan, where he met Ford, later setting up a Taw office with him in Grand Rapids. reading up on the transition of power in 1945, when Harry S.

Truman became president upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and making plans for Ford's first days in office. At dinner on Aug. 6 that year, Mr. Buchen revealed these preparations to an astonished Ford, according to an account by James Cannon in "Time and Chance: Gerald Ford's Appointment with History." Ford added that if word of the preparations had become public, he would have been accused of disloyalty to the president.

In fact, the end of the Watergate ordeal was already at hand. That same day, Nixon told his chief of staff, Alexander Haig, that he would resign, and Ford independently ordered aides to start writing a speech for him to deliver upon taking office. Mr. Buchen, who was appointed White House counsel with a seat in the Cabinet shortly after Ford took office on Aug. 9, 1974, immediately found himself at the center of the controversy about whether to pardon Nixon and what to do about his presidential papers and documents, including the Oval Office tapes that had brought him down.

In his autobiography "A Time to Heal" (Harper Row), Ford recalled how he secretly raised the possibility of pardoning Nixon with five aides: Mr. Buchen, Haig, By Paul Lewis The New York Times Philip Buchen, a former Michigan lawyer who in 1974 first laid plans for Gerald Ford to succeed Richard Nixon as president and then worked on legal aspects of Ford's decision to pardon Nixon, died on Monday at his home in Washington, D.C. He was 85. The cause was pneumonia, his family said. One evening in early April 1974 as the Watergate crisis moved toward its climax, Mr.

Buchen, a friend and former law partner of then-Vice President Ford as well as a member of his staff, came to dinner at the home of Clay T. Whitehead, a Nixon White House aide, and surprised his host by saying: "We have to do some planning for Jerry. We have to face the fact the president may resign." Whitehead, apparently concerned about Nixon's mental condition, agreed and called in three trusted friends: Jonathan Moore, a former assistant to Attorney General Elliot Richardson; Lawrence Lynn, an assistant secretary of the interior; and Brian Lamb, one of his own assistants. As the Watergate storm worsened, the group worked in secrecy for three months, OTHER DEATHS Lramon King, 65, who ran the second leg on the United States 400-meter relay squad that won a gold medal at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, Tuesday in Delano, of a heart attack. He went to the 1956 Games as the world-record holder in the 100-yard dash, a mark of 9.3 seconds set on a grass track.

He also matched the world record of 10.1 seconds at 100 meters. Luther "Bud" Thomas, 90, the pitcher who gave up Ted Williams' first major league homer, Sunday at his home in Charlottesville, Va. On April 23, 1939, Mr. Thomas was pitching for the Philadelphia Athletics against Boston when the Red Sox sent Williams, 20, up to bat, prompting a visit to the mound by Athletics manager Connie Mack. Don't throw this guy a fastball, Mack told Mr.

Thomas. Mr. Thomas took Mack's advice to heart and tossed a slow pitch that Williams cracked about 420 feet, the first of Williams' 521 career home runs. After a baseball career that lasted from 1933 to '41, Mr. Thomas retired to farming, which he did into his 80s, his grandson Benjamin Thomas said.

Mr. Thomas' career record was 25-34. Murray Murdoch, 96, the last survivor of the original New York Rangers of 1926-27 and later the hockey coach at Yale. May 17 at Georgetown Memorial Hospital in South Carolina. He played 11 seasons for the Rangers, including the team's first 574 games.

The Rangers were an instant box-office success at the Garden, and in their second season they won the Stanley Cup, the National Hockey League's championship prize. In that era, teams had only 13 players and often used only 10 in 60-minute games. Mr. Murdoch was a stalwart on the second line. When he retired in 1937, the left wing had 84 goals and 108 assists in 508 regular-season games and nine goals and 12 assists in 56 playoff games.

Bruno Cavalieri Ducati, 96, the last surviving founder of the motorcycle company that bears the family name, May 14 at a residence for the elderly in the town of Ispra on Lake Maggiore, in northern Italy. An architect, he designed the factory where he and brothers Adnano and Marcello started their first venture the production of condensers and radio equipment in 1935. After Allied bombs destroyed the plant in World War II, they switched to motorcycles. The company enjoyed both commercial and sporting success in the 1950s and 1960s, but its fortunes dipped in the 1970s and 1980s. A group of American investors bought the company in 1996 and turned it around.

Mr. Ducati won a string of Superbike world championships and last year, it sold an enure year's production of the MH900 Evoluzione bike within hours in an online sale. VYOMIIIG EX.

Mr. Paris, his brother and four other young Jewish men formed their own basketball team in 1919, the Rauhs, which went on to become the state's premier semipro squad. Mr. Paris, whose on-court resume included occasional fisticuffs with opposing players who used ethnic slurs, donned an aluminum face mask after his nose was broken in a game in 1927. Soon, he had his nickname.

After serving in the Marines in World War II, Mr. Paris coached a group of ex-college stars, the Al-toona Flyers of the All-American Basketball League, and once spent a night in jail after a brawl in Union-town precipitated by a diner's refusal to serve one of Mr.
