August 2, 1973
(Wed. nets, wires, papers)
The major stories of the day:
Reports on HRH's last day of testimony before Ervin comm
concentrated on Weicker's questions about 2 WH memos and,
said Schorr in lead, challenged HRH on WH tactics against
opponents. Only CBS noted memos were part of papers Dean
took from WH.
On all nets, HRH on film acknowledged (to
laughter from audience) he had written "good" and "great" on
memo that predicted there'd by "violent" "obscene" demon-
strators at Oct. '71 Charlotte rally for Billy Graham that RN
was to attend. But, HRH said, he'd meant it'd be good because
public would know about it and see that it was clearly planned
HRH also defended Feb., '73 memo from him to Dean,
which he said he didn't dictate but took responsibility for, which
stressed tie foreign, Communist money tie to demonstrators
and demonstrators to McG/Dems. HRH said he thought this
was the case and was asking Dean for facts, but Weicker heatedly
disputed that contention
HK Smith observed this was one of
"most abrasive" days of hearings, and HRH was "hard-pressed"
to "keep his cool. 11
NBC led w/what it called a "startling development¹ and CBS
said was a "last minute surprise" -- Dash-introduced March 172
memo from Colson to HRH which noted JNM had been told of
ITT's $400, 000 commitment to GOP conv. before antitrust settle-

ment, a fact JNM has denied under oath. (ABC also noted.)
Colson had noted if matter was disclosed, it would contradict JNM
Z-hoe ash Check
and "more importantly, directly involve" RN, reported Stern.
Chancellor reported it showed Kleindienst had lied under oath.
ABC/CBS w/film of Wilson (NBC noted) as he admitted calling
Inouye a "little Jap. 11 Wilson had made the comment earlier when
he was asked his feeling about Weicker. He'd responded he "didn't
mind" Weicker but had "trouble" w/ the "little Jap. " Wilson denied
it was a racial slur but accused Inouye of being unfair to JDE/HRH
Inouye on ABC/CBS film said comment must have been caused
by the "summer heat. 11
