former White House aide J D Ehrlichman, in May 4 int with staff of Sen Watergate com, says soon after Watergate burglary occurred he began to believe that J S Magruder, deputy dir of Pres's re-election com, and perhaps other high officials of campaign, had been involved in burglary; refuses to say whether he told Pres of his belief, citing doctrine of exec privilege; denies any role in planning or covering up facts about burglary; acknowledges following suggestion of then-White House counsel J W Dean 3d and making conscious effort 'to get as little knowledge as possible' in mos after Watergate burglary in anticipation of having to testify at resultant civil proceedings; says he approved payments to Watergate defendants in July '72, but did not know payments came from campaign funds and were meant as hush money; says when he learned about break-in at office of Dr D Ellsberg's psychiatrist in Sept '71, he expressed dismay and disapproval but did not rept incident to anyone else; says he attended meeting at which 'sensitive' documents from White House safe of Watergate conspirator E H Hunt Jr were turned over to then-FBI Acting Dir L P Gray 3d; says he later learned that Gray burned files, but says he did not himself instruct Gray to do so; says he received $20,000 personal loan within last yr from H W Kalmbach, Pres Nixon's former personal lawyer, who raised money to give to Watergate defendants; insists he urged that 'we should get to the bottom of it' at meetings with top Pres advisers; says his view was rejected because of opposition of former Atty Gen Mitchell, who was Pres campaign dir until July 1, '72, and C MacGregor, who replaced Mitchell; MacGregor terms Ehrlichman's assertion 'utterly ridiculous' and 'divorced from reason or vestige of truth'; Mitchell, in testimony before Sen Watergate com, says it was his view that no information about Watergate affair be offered voluntarily and officials should 'keep the lid on' so previous covert White House operations would not be disclosed

former Atty Gen J N Mitchell testifies before Sen Watergate com on July 10 that he deliberately withheld information from Pres Nixon about Watergate bugging, cover-up and 'White House horror stories' to prevent any damage to Pres's bid for re-election and, later, to Nixon's Presidency; denies he authorized pol intelligence-gathering scheme that led to Watergate break-in; concedes he joined in efforts to 'limit the impact' of Watergate; calls testimony by J S Magruder that he saw information obtained from illegal wiretap at Watergate 'a palpable, damnable lie'; concedes 'maybe in retrospect I was wrong'; says he had no firsthand knowledge to support his suspicion that White House officials had pressed for approval of bugging of Dem hq at Watergate complex; says when 5 men were arrested at Watergate complex 'we all had an innate fear' that criminal investigation would uncover prior questionable activities conducted on behalf of White House, including such 'horror stories' as involvement of White House officials in '71 burglary of office of Dr D Ellsberg's psychiatrist, 'spiriting' out of Washington of ITT lobbyist Mrs D D Beard, 'extracurricular' eavesdropping, and writing of false cable purporting to link Pres Kennedy to death of South Vietnamese Pres Diem; says he withheld such information from Pres Nixon because he knew actions Pres would take to expose and punish wrongdoers would be detrimental to his pol campaign; asked if he put 'expediency of election' above his responsibility to the Pres, he says he felt that re-election of Nixon 'compared to what was available on the other side' was more important than other considerations; illus of Mitchell and spectators
