"Give and Take" feature from the National Press Club. Today's topic is the Watergate case, with Charles Colsen , former White House aide and Clark Mollenhoff of the Des Moines Register. Mullenhoff: To say the least the president and his top aides have been shortsighted in adopting policies to hide mismanagement and corruption. In the case of Watergate it won?t work; Judge Sirica and Ervin already have the case-breaking information. The sooner the president sees the only course is a full housecleaning the better and he can?t hide from the press. Colson is asked about and talks about his relationship to the Watergate. Says he?s testified three times, has answered question under oath, says it once more, had no involvement and no knowledge of the Watergate direct or indirect. Answers question about Hunt and being asked to investigate potential candidates for president, specifically Senator Kennedy, says the answer is no. Q. Which White House aide will Pres. Nixon elect to be scapegoat in Watergate scandal? Colson is asked for an answer: says there is a point to be made here. He can understand the fascination over Watergate, is like reading a dime novel thriller. He knows all the assistants to the president, they are all dedicated, hardworking Americans who deeply believe in what they?re doing. They?ve only been implicated by anything other than third hand hearsay, and until one is it?s shame to impugn a lot of decent people working for their country.
