former Pres asst J D Ehrlichman, in FBI investigation rept made public in Pentagon papers trial on May 1, repts he has told Fed investigators that break-in at office of Dr L I Fielding, D Ellsberg's psychiatrist, came as result of secret White House investigation he ordered at request of Pres Nixon; FBI rept, based on int by agents with Ehrlichman in his White House office on Apr 27, says that in '71 Nixon had 'expressed interest' in leak of classified information and 'asked him to make inquiries independent of concurrent FBI investigation which had been made relating to the leak of the Pentagon papers'; Ehrlichman, according to rept, said that G G Liddy and E H Hunt Jr, conspirators in Watergate case, had been 'designated' to conduct investigation; says that he did not know that Liddy and Hunt had broken into Fielding's office until after it had happened, did not agree with 'method of investigation', and told 2 men 'not to do this again'; rept says that there was information available that Ellsberg had emotional and moral problems and Liddy and Hunt sought to determine full facts by preparing 'psychiatric profile and conducting 'in-depth investigation of Ellsberg'; defense atty L B Boudin, prompted by disclosure of rept, moves for dismissal of case 'with prejudice'; Judge W M Byrne Jr says he will take motion under submission and that he believes that Ehrlichman material is exculpatory; defense attys contend that President's extra-official orders to investigate Pentagon papers case occurred while Ellsberg was under indictment and that this represents grave interference in judicial process; H Rowen, former pres of Rand Corp, testifies that there had been no special arrangements for handling of Pentagon papers at Rand, and that he had not acted to keep them out of Rand's regular top-secret control system; testimony is in direct contradiction to basic defense contention; Rowen says in '69 he had not authorized Ellsberg to store some of papers in his (Rowen's) own top-secret safe to help keep them from Rand's top secret control officer; illus of Ellsberg talking to newsmen outside courthouse; illus of Ehrlichman in White House office in March; pors of Liddy and Hunt

Rhodesian appeals ct sets aside conviction of journalist P Niesewand on May 1 for having published secrets harmful to Rhodesia but he remains in jail for time being under preventive detention order; chief justice Sir H Beadle, in written judgment, says state failed to prove material Niesewand published was information which was likely to be useful to enemy; ct held secret hearings because of Govt order and although detailed charges against Niesewand are still officially secret, it is widely known that they grew out of news articles in which he described operations and movements of Rhodesian troops against black nationalist guerrillas; Smith Govt will now be under even greater internatl pressure to free Niesewand; case is seen as having pol relevance because it seems to illustrate often uncompromising behavior of Smith Govt at time when compromise is widely urged
