Mr.. Cabell was seen at his apart

was true that he and Mr.. Martin. had
been told by the President that they
must get together, to which he replied
that beyond admitting that confer

he must decline to have anything to

Martin could not be located after he
left the White House. and Secretary
Hilles had nothing to say on the SUBJ
