said
WASHINGTON I AP• — President Nixon picked CIA Direc-
tor James S Schlesinger as defense secretary today and added
John Connally to his White House staff as a special adviser in
moves to plug holes left by the Watergate scandal
Nixon also abandoned his "super-Cabinet" concept of
counselors; promoted William E Colby to CIA director, and
named Pentagon general counsel J Fred Buzhardt Jr. to his
White House staff as a special counsel with "full responsibility
in matters relating to the Watergate investigation.”
The series of actions to bolster his beleaguered adminis-
tration were disclosed first by Nixon at a Cabinet meeting,
then announced by press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler at a
White House news briefing
The presidential decisions came 10 days after Nixon’s

informed of the nomination at a breakfast meeting of Republi-
can leaders with President Nixon.
Ziegler said the counselor role played by three Cabinet
members "will not be in effect any longer " The counselor
roles were created by executive action earlier this year when
Nixon sent Congress proposals for broad government
reorganization.
Ziegler said the counselor concept "will be moved aside until
the legislation is passed”
Schlesinger had headed the government’s spy agency for
less than four months when Nixon turned to him for the top
defense post which California millionaire industrialist David
Packard had turned down earlier this week.
closest aides—H R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman-and
Atty Gen Richard Kleindienst resigned amid a swirl of
Watergate developments.
Nixon had nominated Elliot Richardson to succeed Klein-
denst as attorney general, leaving vacant the Pentagon post
which Schlesinger was picked to fill.
Nixon told his Cabinet he intended to maintain more direct
communication with Cabinet members, Ziegler later reported
Senate Major Leader Mike Mansfield, D-Mont , was in-
formed of the Schlesinger appointment in advance He called
the nominee “a good man" and said he could foresee no dif-
ficulty about Senate confirmation.
Senate Minority Whip Robert P. Griffin, R-Mich., said he be-
lieves Schlesinger will be "generally acceptable." Griffin was

WASHINGTON (AP) - John
W Dean III said today there is
“an ongoing effort to limit or
prevent" his testifying fully
and freely in the Watergate
case and to discredit him per-
sonally.
“I have learned from several
good friends that there is a con-
certed effort to "get me,"’ Dean
said in a statement issued
through an intermediary.
A report published in the

unnamed Senate and federal in-
