Warden, in the charge to the jury, said . . our criminal dockets contain a very large percentage of violations in this area. This exemplifies the increased activity and the need for additional investigation into the use of drugs by persons in our community; shockingly enough it appears to be the younger element of our community involved in these violations.”—An inquiry into the operation of the Nexus House and Solution House, both in Joplin and both involved in drug rehabilitation.—Investigation of existing public buildings in the county, including the Carthage courthouse, the county jail, the temporary facilities of the county courts in the Miners Bank Building at Joplin, and plans for the new Jasper County courthouse in Joplin.» I0.0VW'\8*0.I *Vi*0 •V ...lmvm-;8?.NVinSiN» «■iV,' t ■ •.v.yAa: -■rv/I?#• M:yX;A’.’vS.VmyfM• 40 0.'.ViV.V VVASJ*.%• 0..».... iyy. i. vv/.I 'mmI.......lt;..........i • 11■V \vy Ar ’i.

Ehrlich-man.His resignation brought the number of high echelon people leaving or being fired from the administration to at least 10, including Ehrlichman, who had been Nixon’s top domestic assistant.The 33-year-old Krogh had said earlier he agreed to the burglary mission hatched by Watergate conspirators G. Gor-don Liddy and E. HowardHunt, whom he had hired as “plumbers” to investigate leaks of the Pentagon Papers.Hunt has testified that he and Liddy supervised the burglary of the office of Dr. Lewis Fielding in Beverly Hills, Calif. He said he and Liddy photographed Fielding’s office and cased the operation a week in advance and then returned with three Cubans Sept. 3, 1971 and acted as lookouts while they searched the files of EJlsberg, now on trial for stealing the Pentagon Papers.Krogh’s resignation came asthe White House moved to recover original documents that ousted presidential counsel John W. Dean III secreted in a bank safe deposit box before he was fired by Nixon.Dean had sent the keys to the box to Chief U.S. Dist. Judge John J. Sirica saying that on one hand he feared they would otherwise be destroyed and, on the other, that he—Dean—had no right to them since he no longer had security clearance.“As Mr. Dean acknowledges, these documents ‘may have a bearing’ on the subjects underinvestigation” by the Watergate grand jury, the government’s brief said. It voiced no objection to copies being held by the court and by prosecutors.The special Senate Watergate committee, due to begin hearings May 17, also is expected to ask for a copy.Dean, who reportedly told investigators he can link Nixon to the coverup of the Watergate scandal, has been subpoenaed to appear before the Senate committee. Sources said the committee will consider testimonial immunity for Dean if hewill not testify freely otherwise.Ehrlichman spent more than four hours testifying before the Watergate grand jury Wednesday and said it was his last appearance there.“I have answered all the questions I have answers for,” he said, adding that he was pleased by the attitude of the grand jury and prosecutors.Former White House chief of staff H.R. Haldeman also was at the courthouse but did not testify. He told reporters he has been summoned for a 10:30 a.m. appearance Monday.Another fprmer administration aide, Charles W. Colson, met at the courthouse again with federal prosecutors and was expected to go before the grand jury later.There was Watergate-related activity on Capitol Hill.At the start of his confirmation hearing to be attorney general, Elliot L. Richardson said he would delegate full responsibility for the Watergate investigation to a special prosecutor—but said he would not surrender final authority.“It’s not a matter of needingsomeone to mind the store on all other matters,” he told the Senate Judiciary Committee. “I must be answerable for what the attorney general does and what the special prosecutor does.”Richardson said he is consulting on a choice with leading bar associations as well as judges, lawyers and prosecutors in private practice.The subcommittee on intelligence operations of the Senate Appropriations Committee(See EXECUTIVE, Page 6A)
