analysis contrasts Agnew's approach to revelations about investigation of possible criminal violations on his part with approach of Pres Nixon to Watergate scandal; notes Agnew held news conf on investigation while Nixon has consistently shrunk from public discussion of Watergate and has held no news conf since Mar 15; says Nixon has made brief oral statements about Watergate which have been either cryptic or deprecatory; says Agnew is much more direct and blunt; notes Agnew was noncommittal on only 1 issue--that of const strictures that may prevent him from furnishing personal financial documents or testifying to grand jury--and said that he is not const scholar and would weigh his attys' advice before committing himself to a position; says Nixon, when issues such as exec privilege and immunity began to come up early this yr, initially claimed maximum protection, then gradually pulled back from those claims as legal situation evolved
