protecting the two officers by not releasing their names before she spoke up We appreciate your concern very very much but please handle this peacefully not angry she told the group With anger and

President Nixons campaign committee says it is paying the legal costs for its key officials in the Senates Watergate hearing but not for any criminal trials The announcement came Saturday as the Finance Committee to ReElect the President disclosed in its latest public reports that it still has a surplus of nearly million Among those getting help with their lawyers fees were finance chairman Maurice H Stans former deputy campaign manager Jeb Stuart Magruder and scheduling director Herbert L Porter Stans is also being paid a retroactive salary of for the past year as the campaigns head fundraiser Stans and former Atty Gen John N Mitchell are under indictment in New York on charges of obstruction of justice stemming from a secret cash donation last year by a financier under fraud investigation Porter testified in this weeks Senate hearings that he committed perjury in the first Watergate trial upon suggestion Magruder is a principal figure in the current grand jury probe of the Watergate coverup The Nixon campaign announcement said the decision to pay the legal fees was voted in April by the reelection budget committee At least half the members of the sixman budget committee are themselves involved in the Watergate investigation These three members are Stans Mitchell and Magruder The announcement said the finance committee will pay legal fees and costs in connection with matters which are not the subject of formal criminal charges This apparently means that Stans lawyers for Stans Senate testimony will be covered but the defense fees for his New York trial would not be Legal costs for campaign officials appearing for depositions in various civil suits are also covered Washington WASHINGTON The expansion of overseas operations by the FBI in October 1970 ostensibly on the orders of President Nixon was designed to give the White House a worldwide source of intelligence independent of the CIA and the State Department the has learned This expansion which remains in effect Saturday put the FBI in the position of gathering intelligence overseas which it has no legal authority to do It also is a violation of delimitation agreements reached in the War II period under which the CIAs role in domestic intelligence was limited by agreement with J Edgar Hoover while the FBI accepted restrictions on overseas operations Many of Hoovers toplevel assistants opposed the 1970 overseas expansion of FBI activities on legal grounds because it duplicated CIA efforts and because of the estimated cost But Hoover although he never showed his top intelligence aides anything in writing always insisted that the expansion was on the authority of the President himself The was unable to determine whether the new foreign intelligence role of the FBI was Hoovers idea that was approved by the President or whether the order came down from the White House to Hoover But observers believe the FBI expansion into overseas intelligence must have had White House blessing or there would have been howls of protest from See FBI page 14A Skylab crew surveys US landscape J Index SPACE CENTER Houston AP Skylabs powerful cameras scrutinized com fields in Nebraska strip mining in Kentucky and the effects of the Mississippi River flooding as astronauts on the space station harvested scientific knowledge during a busy Saturday in or bit Okay said astronaut Paul J Weitz as he focused a camera on the central United States from 270 miles in space Im tracking a Good Hope County Neb field Got a good corn field Weitz and Charles Conrad Jr operated a battery of cameras which gathered data on the growth and health of the grain fields Scientists hope that such studies will provide new knowledge on how to predict the size of harvests and possibly forecast any problems The third crewman Dr Joseph P Kerwin operated another type of camera focused on earth He also took pictures of the sun through a telescope and conducted medical experiments on Conrad Saturday the 15th day of Skylab 1 was the first day of full scientific activity for the astronauts their experiments were curtailed earlier by a shortage of electrical power which forced them to dim lights and take other measures to conserve electricity A jammed solar power wing was fixed Thursday in a space walk by Conrad and Kerwin and the repair boosted Skylab to almost full electrical power levels Mission Control apparently solved the problem of a cranky cooling system in one compartment of the 118foot space ship A valve in the system which works similarly to the radiator in a car had stuck earlier Mission Control radioed commands to turn on two pumps putting four times the usual pressure against the valve and it opened A backup cooling loop also was operating satisfactorily and the problem caused no real concern Skies were clear to partly cloudy during the 6900mile photo run from the State of Washington to eastern Brazil The astronauts easily picked out several targets

an earth terrain camera which took color pictures of a 67milewide strip of land from the State of Washington to the coast of Georgia Enlargements of the pictures later will enable scientists to study
