THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
NEWS SUMMARY
October 4, 1973
(Wed. nets, wires, columns)
The major stories of the day:
-- Questions re: VP dominate impromptu RN News Conf. w/3-5
minute leads on all nets. Lengthy clips on RN "backing both
sides, as Cronkite put it, w/Pres. defending VP's course of
action in defending himself and defending Justice Dept. which
VP has attacked. HKS noted a month ago, it'd have been in-
conceivable that virtually no W gate questions would be asked
at RN news conf, but that's what happened.
RN hope that
Austria would "reconsider" closing of refugee camp covered
on ABC/CBS clips.
All nets noted HAK to PRC Oct. 26,
ABC pointing out PRC scooped RN by 30 minutes on that.
RN to Japan before end of '74, noted by NBC which also said
RN to Europe in 3-4 months. Latter noted also by ABC while
CBS said time for trip isn't set yet.
CBS only net w/clip of
RN saying economy is moving full-bore ahead despite unacceptable
inflation. Others noted RN indicated Ph 4 would continue longer
than Fellner would like.
Rather noted that after no news confs.
for more than 5 months, RN has now held 3 in 6 weeks
Pierpoint on CBS recounted Providence Journal-Bulletin account
of RN's small taxes for '70-'71, noting "very expensive interest"
on KB/WWH properties and claim to "sizable credit" for RN's
VP papers. NBC noted.
-- In "extraordinary legal proceeding" and "highly unusual" open
session of court (CBS), Judge Hoffman ordered grand jury to
disregard news stories in VP case. He said they' re frequently
inaccurate. And he approved request of VP's attys to subpoena
and take depositions from those w/any possible knowledge on
leaks. #2 story on all nets.
One-time VP fundraiser Muth
on ABC/NBC clips said he gave no info to jurors which would
implicate VP; ABC called him hostile to prosecutors
Brinkley
said critics of leaks assume juries are unable or unwilling to
form verdicts based only on courtroom evidence and, if true,
entire legal system doesn't work, tho David said facts on how
juries make decisions are few.
