A-- Ehrlichman said he did not authorize the burglary, although he has acknowledged signing a memorandum which approved a covert operation to g get information about so long as it could not be traced to the White House. J. Wilson, Ehrlich-man- s lawyer, delivered a detailed constitutional argument on the question of presidential authority to use other-wiillegal measures for the sake of national security in foreign intelligence matters. We didnt know whether we were dealing here with a spy ring, just an individual kook, or whether we were dealing with a serious penentration of the nations military and other secrets, Ehrlichman said. Wilson noted that Ehrlichman had testified the Russians were getting information from the Pentagon Papers, and said that put the whole White House investigation, including in the foreign inthe break-in- , telligence category. Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr., the committee chairman, disputed suggestions that any president has implied powers to authorize crimes in the name of national security. Herman E.

You dont think the President could authorize a murder, do you? he asked. Ehrlichman said he would leave it to constitutional lawyers to draw the line at which presidential powers end.

When Ehrlichman said, caught, Dean went before the Senate falsecommittee and told hoods that painted Nixon as A days meanspirited, weird, psychotic paranoid, about anti-Nixo- n and demonstrators hypersensitive to criticism.

Ehrlichman also denied authorizing the burglary of the Los Angeles office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the Pentagon papers figure. a Ehrlichman contended congressional act authorized the President to carry out such activities as the break-iat the psychiatrists office.

The Pentagon acknowledged fur the first time Tuesday that Americans were involved in covert intelligence and reconnaissance patrols into Laos from the fall of 1965 until early February 1971, and in Cambodia from 1967 to late June 1970. Congress very definitely did not intend to deny Gen. Creighton W. Abrams the U.S. commander in Vietnam the power to gather intelligence to protect American troops in South Vietnam, said a spokesman. Official said the patrols penetrated border areas used by the North Viet- namese for bases and supply movements sup- Viet-rnaporting g munist operations inside South once-secr- ' Normally, such patrols were carried in and later withdrawn by helicopter. Congress ordered a ban on U.S. ground I troops in Cambodia in January 1971, but Pentagon sources said U.S. participation in secret patrols into Cambodia had ended about six months earlier. So the question of a possible violation of a Congressional edict does not appear to be involved in the Cambodia ground operation. The Pentagon also has acknowledged that it withheld from the Senate Armed last month statistics Services Committee showing that 81 American military men were killed in the Laotian and Cambodian intelligence forays. Those 81 casualties had been listed with other casualties suffered in South Vietnam. Other Indochina developments: U.S. District Judge Oliver Gasch has dismissed a suit by eight members of Congress that sought to halt the American bombing of Cambodia. Gasch ruled Tuesday that the issues in the suit involved political questions which are clearly beyond the pioper limitation of judicial power. . Sen. Symington says the Senate Armed Services Committee will look into a correspondent's report that the United States is organizing a paramilitary' operation in Cambodia similar to that run by the CIA in Laos for a number of years.
