WASHINGTON (AP) - When
the web of involvement in the
Watergate affair finally is un-
tangled. a question will remain
to haunt the Nixon White
House Why did they do it?
Why, while President Nixon's
re-election prospects soared
and his early Democratic rivals
foundered, did men in his cam-
paign organization deem it nec-
essary to try wiretapping’’
And why the earlier attempts
at spying and apparent political
sabotage against Democratic
candidates who seemed to need
no assistance in bungling their

exports totaled $5.06 billion.
The department said the
March rise in exports of $315
million consisted largely of an
increase of about $120 million in
aircraft deliveries and an ex-
pansion of $180 million in ship-
ments of agricultural products.
It said the decline of $109 mil-
lion in imports during the month
was in industrial supplies and
consumer goods
While the figures were a dra-
matic improvement over Feb-
ruary, the department said they
"should not be interpreted as
indicative of underlying trends."
on's spokesmen deny the Presi-
dent had any knowledge of what
was going on.
There has been a claim that
political surveillance originally
was ordered because of a risk of
demonstrations against Re-
publican campaigners.
But that could hardly be a
motive for the wiretapping-bur-
glary at Democratic headquar-
ters last June 17, or for the
abortive attempt to bug the
campaign offices of Sen. George

WASHINGTON (AP) - The
nation's trade deficit narrowed
to $52 6 million in March, the
best month since September
1971, the Commerce Depart-
ment reported today
The department said season-
ally adjusted imports for March
totaled $5.4 billion and exports
totaled $5.3 billion.
The March deficit of $52.6
million was a considerable im-
provement over the deficit for
February of $76.2 million when
imports totaled $5.5 billion and

The department also reported
a substantial improvement in
trade figures for the first three
months of the year, with a defi-
cit totaling $832 6 million, com-
pared to a 1972 fourth quarter
deficit of $1.5 billion, and an
average quarterly deficit of all
of 1972, also $1.5 billion.

The March deficit was the
best U.S. trade performance
since the country’s last monthly
surplus of $306 million in Sep-
tember of 1971. The deficit was
$6.3 billion and. for 1971, $2 bil-
lion.
A leficit also has been fore-
cast for the current year
The department said the im-
provement in the U.S. trade po-
sition during the first quarter
was mainly with Western Eu-
rope and Japan
There was a worsening in the
।leficit with Canada because of
strong U.S. demand for paper,

For all the investigations into
who acted and who knew of Re-
publican political spying in 1972,
there may never be a clear
answer as to motive.
What really hurts in matters
of this sort is not the fact that
they occur, because over-
zealous people in campaigns do
things that are wrong," Nixon
said last Aug. 29. "What really
hurts is if you try to cover it
up."

as well as exports were up
