_ Nixon tapes deemed
‘far more offensive’

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Public release of 30 White
House tape recordings about
the Watergate political
espionage scandal would
expose Richard Nixon to
embarrassments ‘‘far more
offensive” than the former
president already has
suffered, the U.S. Supreme
Court was told today.

Nixon lawyer William Jef-
fress told the court that the
22, hours of tapes played at
the 1974 Watergate cover-up
trial of Nixon’s top advisers
should not go public.

“Tapes are susceptible to
uses thatare far more offen-
sive” than trial transcripts,
hé said.

Transcripts of the tapes
were widely published
during the 1974 trial of
former attorney-general
John Mitchell and ex-White
House aides H.R. Haldeman
and Jehn Ebrlichman.

Jeffress said Nixon, and
others would suffer ‘‘mental

‘anguish” if the™tapes are

released to “every disc
jockey, every televisior
entertainer ... to be played
relentlessly.”

RELEASE OKAYED

The U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals ruled in October,
1976, that the tapes could be
released for broadcast on
television. and radio and
copied for sale as records
and tape cassettes.

Arguing for those who
want the tapes released,

Washington lawyer Edward
Bennett Williams claimed:
“ft don’t know of any com-

mon Jaw right not to he.

embarrassed by one’s in-
culpatory words.”

Williams was represen-
ting Warner Com-
munications, which wants to
reproduce the tapes and
market them for home sale.

New York lawyer Floyd
Abrams, representing the
three commercial broadcast
networks, public radio and a
broadcast news directors
association, said he was
arguing ‘the right of the
public not present in the
court to hear the tapes.”

Williams noted that any
distributor or broadcaster of
the tapes would have ‘to
take the full risk” of
lawsuits resulting from such
use. .

The bulk of the 880 reels of
tape recordings left behind
by Nixon when he resigned
as president in 1974 are not
involved in the case.

If the tapes are released, -

they would let the public
hear for the first time the
actual voices—the tones and
vocal inflections—of Nixon
and the Watergate figures
discussing the scandal.

Fhe suit to have the tapes
released was filed by NBC,
ABC, CBS, the Public
Broadcasting Service, the
Radio Television News
Directors Association and
Warner Communications.

group of all time, and @
symbol of youth in the
1960's, the Beatles wrote one

togetherness and
collaboration. The majority
of them were chart-toppers
on hit parades from Indla to
Invvik, and even today,
years after thelr final spit,
amazing offers are being
made, In the mililons, to
entice them to re-group. If
only for a single concert.
