Long Beach police withsearchlights hunted lateinto the night Tuesday be-side the Artesia Freewayfor more missing partsafter an Independent.Press-Telegram SecretWitness tip led them to thediscovers' of new evidencethere.

Detective Sgts. RonSkaggs and Gene Briz-zolara said about twodozen men crisscrossedthe area between the 605Freeway and LakewoodBoulevard after an in-formant said she saw twomen stop a car and dumpa bag in the freeway'sslow lane last Saturday.

THE DETECTIVESfound a green plastic bagin the area, they said, butit was empty. They added

that it might have beentorn open by animals.

A Harbor Divisioninvestigator said theseries of finds may belinked, at least in nature,to three bodies foundpreviously in the area.

The body of an unidenti-fied man was found April14 in Huntington Beach atEllis Avenue and GothardStreet. Police describedthe victim as between 20and 25 years old, withlong blond hair.

Last Dee. 26, the bodyof a 19-year-old Marinewas found near the junc-tion of the San Diego andSan Gabriel River Free-ways in Seal Beach. Thevictim was identified asDaniel Moore.

The body of a man iden-tified only as John DoeNo. 16 was discovered onFeb. 6 on the Terminal Is-land Freeway about aquarter-mile south ofPacific Coast Highway.

All three bodies werenude when found, and po-lice said the HuntingtonBeach victim, like thetorso found Sunday, hadbeen mutilated.

But, the investigatoradded, there may be morethan one "sexual maniac"following the same pat-tern of butchery through-out the two counties.

-A LAWYER hired byNixon's top two aides, H.R. Haldeman and John D.Erlichman — whosenames have been men-tioned in recent days inreports suggesting theytried to help cover up theWatergate details afterthe break-in — visted theWhite House for the sec-ond straight day thismorning. He is John J.Wilson. Nixon met withWilson last week but thelawyer said he was "abso-lutely not" providing legalcounsel to the President.

—The grand jury inves-tigating the Watergate,which expects to heartestimony shortly fromWhite House legal counselJohn W. Dean—the WhiteHouse staff member mostfrequently mentioned inreports of alleged highlevel knowledge of thebugging — apparentlywas not in session today.

—Sen. Robert J. Dole,R-Kan., former GOP na-tional chairman, saidNixon "was not involvedand ought not to be impli-cated in the Watergate"while Sen. Walter F. Mon-dale, D-Minn., said the"harshest indictment ofthe President is that hecreated a mood and envi-ronment where his closestadvisers felt that whatthey did was proper."

Administration sources.said Nixon probablywould announce staffchanges — possibly in-cluding departure of someof his closest aides — be-fore the week is out.

There have been a vari-ety of reports that Nixonwould ask either Secre-tary of State William P.Rogers, former DefenseSecretary Melvin R. Laird<ir former Treasury Secre-tary John I?. Connaly tohandle (lie job of reorgan-izing the White House.staff.

NEWLY revealed tes t i -mony before the Water-gate grand jury by one of(he convicted Watergateconspirators alleged (hat(he break-in took placefollowing a meeting in theoffice of former AttorneyGeneral John N. Mitchell;ind was cleared throughthe White House underconditions whereby Mitch-

ell could deny 'invo've-ment.

Mitchell told UnitedPress International in atelephone interview lateTuesday that his "con-science is clear" and hedoes not expect to be in-dicted in the Watergatescandal.

James W. McCord Jr.,security coordinator forthe Nixon campaign andone of the men arrestedinside Democraticheadquarters at ' theWatergate last June 17,provided the grand jurywith a two-page memo-randum describing whatMcCord said he was toldby co-conspirator G. Gor-don Liddy on how theoperation was planned.

The memo was amonggrand jury testimony anddocuments obtained bycolumnist Jack Anderson.It was made available byAnderson to UPI Tuesday.The evidence given byMcCord on this subjectwas second-hand andsometimes third-hand.However, governmentprosecutors reportedlyhave verified it fromother sources.

ACCORDING to Mc-Cord's account of whatLiddy told him, the "prosand cons of various bug-ging type operations"were discussed at a meet-ing held in February, 1972in the Justice Departmentoffice of Mitchell, whowas then attorney gener-al. Mitchell left that job inMarch, 1972, and becameNixon's campaign man-ager.

Present were Mitchell.Liddy, White House coun-sel John W. Dean III andformer White House aideJeb Stuart, Magruder, whobecame deputy campaigndirector, according to theaccount.

McCord quoted Liddy assaying no decisions weremade but that Liddy wasleft with the impressionapproval would be forth-coming.

"A few days later Deantold Liddy that a waywould have to be workedout, to undertake theoperation without directlyinvolving the attorneygeneral so that he wouldhave dcniability about itat a future dale," theMcCord memo said.

"About, 30 days after theFebruary meeting in theA-G's (attorney general's)office, Liddy told me thaithe operation 'had beenapproved' and that thefunding for it. would bethrough shortly," thememo said. "My impres-sion was thai this word of(he approval came fromDean.."

Ringo permit askedfor PCH operation

(Continued from Page A-l)to a lease agreement withthe beauty school, appar-ently will be conductedfrom seven days a week.

Ringo, Inc., a corpo-ration formed by C. RayShira, 122 Jum'pero Ave.,Naomi Shira of LongBeach, and Robert Gibbsof Long Beach, agreed tolease the property fromthe Sperling-Altaian part-nership last month underterms and conditions "tobe agreed upon not laterthan Dec. 31,1973."

Meanwhile, five city de-partments have lookedinto the situation.

The Building Depart-ment: "This re-inforcedconcrete tilt-up buildingwould be suitable for therequest but recently had afire that caused extensivedamage. A building per-mit has been issued to re-pair the fire damage."

Fire Department:"Building is satisfactoryfor proposed use. Exitsand hardware are subjectto approval by the FirePrevention Bureau priorto occupying the building.More precise floor planwill be required prior tofinal approval."

Health Department:"No objection or publichealth implication."

City Engineer: "'Al-though we have no datarelative to traffic generat-ed or parking demand forthis type of use, it wouldseem that the 00 chairsprobably would not over-load the proposed 42-50parking spaces. As trafficdemands would not nor-mally coincide with peakdemands on the road sys-tem it is unlikely thai tinsfacility would cause sig-nificant or unusual trafficproblems. No objection."

The Police Department,however, felt differently:"The game Ringo hasbeen examined a numberof times in the past nineyears by this department.It is our opinion, corrobo-rated by the city prosecu-tor, that it is a game ofchance, therefore in viola-tion of the CaliforniaPenal Code section gov-erning gambling. We can-not recommend approvalof the game knohvn asRingo in any zone' unlessthere has been a substan-tial change in the rules ofthe game and we are af-forded an opportunity toexamine the game anddetermine if it is, in fact,a game of skill or a gameof chance."

City planners are sched-uled to hear both sides ofthe situation at the May 3session. Should they givetheir approval, Ringocould begin operationsafter a 10-day appealsperiod.

Should the planners de-cide against the game,have a similar 10 dayperiod to appeal theircase directly to the citycouncil.

Headquarters for Ringo,Inc., are located at 906Jergins Trust Building —in an "extra room" in thesuite of offices occupiedby attorney C. RansomSamuelson, who hasrepresented Shira in hismany confrontations withthe city.

Samuelson predictedtoday that should the spe-cial use permit be grantedby the city planners,Ringo should be withinful l operation within 30days.
