WASHINGTON (AP) —
Newspapers -cannot be
criminaliy punished for
publishing truthful
formation about secret gov-
ernmental proceedings, a
‘unanimous U.S. Supreme
Court ruled today.

The high court struck
down a Virginia law making
it a crime to report about a

‘ gtate judicial commission's *

confidential investigations
into judges’ fitness to hold
office.

That law was invoked
against Landmark Com-
munications, publisher of the
Virginian-Pilot newspaper in
_ Norfolk, after the paper
published on Oct. 4, 1875, an
accurate report that the
.. ptate’s judicial inquiry and
review commission had
studied complaints against a
domestic relations court

judge.

“The article published by
Landmark provided ac:

about a __ legislatively
authorized inquiry ... and in

interests in public scrutiny
and discussion of gov-
ernmental affairs which the
First Amendment was

‘NEW YORK (AP)
Richard Nixon says he
regarded the Watergate
break-in at first as “just a
public relations prablem that
only needed a. public rela-
Hons solution.”

Nixon says in his memoirs
he was convinced for more
than 10 months that he was
not involved in cover-up
activities that made his top
aides, H.R. Haldeman and
John Ehriichman,
vulnerable to criminal
charges.

The Nixon memoirs, which
will appear in bookstores in
May, are being syndicated
by a‘subsidiary of the New
York Times. In the first of
seven installments, Nixon
adds little to what is known
about the breakin and the
subsequent White House
cover-up efforts.

He says he learned of the
June.17, 1972 break-in at the
Democratic party national
headquarters the . following
day through a story in the
Miami Herald.. Nixon was
spending the weekend in
Florida and he said he
dismissed the burglary as a
prank.

The former president says
he was assured iy
Haldeman, his chief of staff,
that no one in the While
House was involved. On his
June 19 flight to Washington,
Nixon says Haldeman told
him that James McCord, an
employee of the Nixon re-
election committee, was one
of the men arrested.
REOUNTS STORY

Nixon recounted the story
of the March 21, 1973,
meeting when White House
counsel John Dean told him
of the cover-up and the in-
volvement of Haldeman,
Ehrlichman and Dean. ~

It was not until April 15,
Nixon writes, that he decided
Haldeman and Ehrlichman
had to be fired. On that day,
Henry Petersen, head of the
criminal division of the U.S.
justice department, said the
two aides could prove an
embarrassment to, him.

By then, Dean was telling .

his story to prosecutors.
Nixon says he was being
selfish about his own sur-
vival in asking for
Haldeman’s and — Eh-
flichman’s resignation and
that ‘he told himself he had
