edioio Urf 'i Not fading away at all It might come as a disappointment to some of Nixon's cronies and admirers, but former Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox refuses to make like an old soldier and just fade away. Cox has admitted that he was indiscreet in accidentally leaking information about possible White House involvement in the ITT affair. A high-ranking official has been quoted as saying that the documents involved do not implicate the President in this scandal. But former presidential aide Charles Colson, told the Watergate committee another story last August. He said the secret documents would "directly involve the President" in the scandal. Once agair;. enter Cox. He has said that if Nixon appoints a special prosecutor, he might not have the authority to dig into anything but the Watergate burglary and the cover-up of it. Cox bases his opinion on a presidential statement that the prosecutor "would look into the Watergate matter." Cox believes that might mean a limitation on the prosecutor's authority. All these things, the possible broadening of the probe to include the ITT affair, the possible limitation of the soon to be named special prosecutor, and the now well known pressure on Cox, point toward the need for a new special prosecutor independent of the President. Congress must act to appoint such a person if the public is to know the full story of Watergate. Michael (O.J.)
