Date: 19 June 1975
William S Frates, atty for John D Ehrlichman, on June 18 argues that Ehrlichman's conviction in connection with burglary of office of Lewis J Fielding, former psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, should be overturned on ground that former Pres Nixon indirectly authorized break-in; tells appeals ct that Ehrlichman had been 'alter ego' of Nixon and therefore had right to authorize search of Fielding's office without 1st getting warrant; contends that Nixon had right to order such break-ins where natl security was concerned; basic argument of Ehrlichman's appeal is that trial judge Gerhard Gesell denied him right to present defense that break-in had been for natl security purposes; US Dist Judge Robert Merhige Jr questions Frates on his blame of Nixon; Daniel Schultz, atty for Bernard L Barker and Eugenio R Martinez, also convicted of break-in, argues that his clients believed that whatever authority was required for break-in had been obtained (M)
