The three held a 10tninute news con

old former president is being treated.
Earlier in the day, Lungren and Dr.
Eldon Hickman said that becauSe of a
slight decrease in Nixon's hemoglobin
level they believed Nixon may have been
bleeding again.
The doctors said they would continue to
watch Nixon's condition to determine
whether it had stopped altogether.
Lungren said Nixon's vital - signs had
"pretty i'nuch returned to normal," but
he added, "There are dangers lurking in
the background, imminent dangers, real
dangers..."
Lungren did not say what the dangers
were.

that Hussein might represent the PLO in
Geneva.
The reaffirmation of Israel's stand
came two days after, the Arab summit
announced support of the PLO in efforts
to set up a sovereign Palestinian state on
any occupied land given up by Israel.
Rabin said the only issues that in
terested Israel as a result of the Rabat
summit are, whether Egypt was still
ready to negoAate„a separate settlement
on the Sinai Desert front and if Jordan
would take an active pact in negotiations
over the Israeli-occupied West Bank of
Jordan.
At the same time, ignoring the Arab
irorld_'s
_recognition of the 'Palestine
Liberation Organization, Israel kept up
its battle against Arab guerrillas with a
naval attack in southern Lebanon and
said it expected an intensification of
guerrilla infiltration attempts.
The talk of renewed war and increased
guerrilla activity came as:

because "the possibility still exists for
further complications."
However, Lungren seemed to indicate
Nixon had made some slight gains,
saying: "His spirits and mental attitude
are excellent. He is alert; oriented to
everything going on around him, and
cooperative."
At the news conference later, Hickman
said Nikon was "handling it well"
although he was "somewhat annoyed"
by the constant bedside monitoring of his
condition.
Lungren said the transfusions Nixon
was receiving would replace the post
surgical blood loss and combat the low
hemoglobin and lbw platelet counts. He
did not say how much blood Nixon would
receive.
Hemoglobin carries oxygen to the
tissues while platelets promote blood
clotting.
Hickman said the hemoglobin drop
was probably due to "hemodilution from(
increased urinary output."
Hemodilution, a shinning of the blood
from body fluids, is not unusual after an
operation, a hospital spokesman said. ,
Before the operation, Nixon had been
taking anticoagulants to fight the clotting
in his left leg induced by phlebitis, an in
flammation of the viens. The operation
was to place a clamp on a vein so that
blood could flow through but block poten
tially fatal clots from reaching his heart.
In announcing that Nixon would
remain on the critical list, Dr. James A.
Harper, a surgeon, told newsmen, "I'd
say as long as he continues this way, we
can expect a gradual improvement."
"It's a matter of monitoring for
several days. I know Dr. Lungren said
that he could turn sour on us at any time,
but we have no indication of that," he
said.
Magruder says Mitchell approved
WASHINGTON (UPI) Sticking to
his story under intense cross
examination, Jeb Stuart Magruder
testified yesterday that,John N. Mitchell
not only approved the Watergate bugging
but within a week okayed the initial . cash
outlay to pay for it.
He said Mitchell's' endorsement of the
plan to bug Democratic Party headquar
ters was a "throw-a Way decision," made
reluctantly and unenthusiastically but
nonetheless made —• at a political
strategy meeting in Key Biscayne, Fla..
on March 30, 1972. •
The next week, he said, Mitchell first
questioned but then approved funnelling
several thousand dollars in cash from
Nixon campaign coffers to Liddy to get
his project rolling.
The boyish-looking Magruder, ad
mittedly nervous during his second day
on the stand at the cover-up trial of Mit
chell and four other former aides tb
Richard Nixon, never wavered from his
story.
Attorneys for Mitchell and co
defendant H. R. Haldeman tried to paint
Magruder and John W. Dean 111 as the
arch villains of the cover-up plot, en
phasizing their roles from the beginning
to keep the truth from coming out.
Both Magruder and Dean have since
pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice
and are serving prison terms. They are
'now key prosecution witnesses.

The doctors said they consulted with a
UCLA professor of thoractic medicine
and cardiology, Don Mulder, who ad
vised them to "follow a conservative
course of treatment." The phrase was
not explained.
• President Ford arrived in Los Angeles,
25 miles north of the hospital, for a
Republican campaign rally yesterday.
Spokesmen for the hospital and Ford said
the President had no plans to visit Nixon.
Press Secretary Ron Nissen said Ford
was watching Nixon's condition
carefully, however.
Lungren and Hickman said Nixon's
wife, Pat, and daughters Tricia and
Julie were spending most of the day and
night in Nixoh's suite, part of an in
tensive care ward at Memorial Hospital
Medical Center, and were visiting him
briefly every hour.
Nixon has received four blood trans
fusions, including one unit of "packed
red blood cells," on Wednesday, since he
went into shock for three hours from in
ternal bleeding shortly after phlebitis
surgery Tuesday.
Ron Ziegler, Nixon's former press
secretary and now his chief aide, said
Wednesday that 7 the 61-year-old president
almost died from the bleeding.

endangered, Lungren said in a statement

lawyer Frank J. Strickler, Magruder
conceded that both the White House and
the 1972 Nixon campaign had been
worried about violent demonstrations
against the President and were in
terested in legal intelligence-gathering to
prevent trouble.
"Was the Democratic National Com
mittee one of the groups threatening to
disrupt the Republican convention?"
asked Assistant Special Prosecutor Jill
Volner when she got another chance.
"No, it was not," Magruder replied.
It was learned, meanwhile, that defen
dant Robert C. Mardian has asked to be
severed from the case since his chief at
torney has become ill.
U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica or
dered strict secrecy about the situation,
buit it was learned no decision was
reached about whether to continue Mar
dian in the case.
Stressing that Magruder lied
repeatedly under oath in the past, Mit
chell's lawyers repeatedly challenged his
testimony.
"No, I didn't say that," he said when
confronted with an FBI report from April
last year that said he told agents Mitchell
had not given his '"absolute approval"
for Watergate.
"They said that. That was their
paraphrase of what I said and I think that
should be made clear to the jury. I was
very nervous that day. It was a time of
stress.

Pakistan arms
aid delayed
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (UPI)
Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger
yesterday put off a final decision on
Pakistan's request for newPipments
of modern arms but Prirrfe Minister
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto declared himself
"very happy: after 2 1 2 hours of talks.
Kissinger and Bhutto announced in
a joint statement that the United
States would supply Pakistan with
about 100,000 tons of surplus wheat.
Kissinger, the statement said,
"would give careful consideration to
Pakistan's additional requirements."
Kissinger's spokesman, Robert 0.
Anderson, told newsmen that
Pakistan's request for missiles, ad
vanced aircraft and tanks arose "only
tangentially" in the talks.
Diplomatic observers said the
reference to "careful- consideration"
of Pakistan's additional requirements
was an indication the United States
has not entirely closed the door to
shipments of military spare parts and
possibly weapons which it feels would
not spark an arms race on the-Indian
subcontinent.
The statement said Kissinger and
Bhutto also agreed to join in efforts to
stop the spread of nuclear weapons
and Bhutto stressed the need of
"I tried to make it clear that he (Mit
chell) was not enthusiastic ... He was not
favorably inclined; none of us was
favorably inclined to the plan. But that
does not obscure the fact that in the end
he did approve the plan," Magruder said.
Magruder, Mitchell's deputy at the
1972 Nixon campaign, conceded that Mit
chell a week • later had called to ask him
why bugging mastermind G. Gordon Lid
dy needed so much money. He said he ex
plained the cash was needed for per
sonnel and equipment.
"So a week after this plan was ap
proved, Mitchell asked why Gordon.Lid
dy needed money?" demanded Mitchell
attorney Plato Cacheris.
"No, I didn't say that," Magruder
replied cooly. "He asked why he needed
that much money."
Nor did Magruder budge from his
testimony that Mitchell, two days after
the June 17, 1972, bugging arrests, told
him to "have a fire" to destroy wiretap
reports from Watergate known as the
Gemstone file.
"You did not tell the grand jury that
Mr. Mitchell suggestgikiyou have a fire,
did you?" Cacheris asral.
"That's correct," Magruder replied.
"You did not tell the Senate Watergate
committee that Mr. Mitchell told you to
have a fire, isn't that correct?"
"That's correct."
"As a matter of fact, the first time you
mentioned that was in December of 1973

Bhutto first proposed a toast to

Minister Baron Metternich. who
helped create post-Napoleonic

"We admire you," Bhutto said.
"and we would like you to be Con
sidered as a modern Metternich. But
Metternich lost the war and came af
ter 'Napoleon. You are creating the
foreign policy of a great country
without war and your country is vic

Bhutto said his talks with Kissinger
had been "very useful discussions.
I'm very happy."

Wasn't it?"
"My memory was refreshed after I
testified at the Senate," Magruder said,
adding that he had "reviewed" the in
cident with another Mitchell aide. Fred
C. Laßue.
He said Mitchell's suggestion to burn
the Gemstone files came at a meeting at
Mitchell's apartment at the Watergate,
conceding he left the meeting early td
play tennis "with a man named Agnew"
in suburban Maryland.
- Struggling to keep from laughing, he
described how he left the files sitting on
the tennis court in a brief case while he
played and then went home and burned
them in his fireplace.
Magruder freely admitted, under a
barrage of questions from Cacheris
which the prosecution protested amount
ed to "Badgering the witness" —.that he
helped campaign aide Herbert L. Porter
Jr. commit perjury as part of the cover
up and had been coached in his own per
jury by Dean, then White House counsel.
He also admitted that Dean at one
point suggested that he destroy his
diaries
"And did John Wesley Dean :.. assure
you of White House and presidential sup
port for what you were doing?"
"Yes, sir."
"After the break-in, did you have any
conversations with John Wesley Dean
about the break-in and how it occurred?"
"Yes, sir."
