_ 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.

The Beatles’ Music Changed the World...And How.

The mast popular musical group of all time, and @ symbol of youth in the 1960's, the Beatles wrote one hundred and ninety-five songs during thelr perlod of 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.
