The logs supported Miss Woods' earlier testimony that the President 6pent about seven minutes at the cabin where she was working. It also showed that later that day she went to the President's cabin, met with him for 30 minutes, then joined the First Family for dinner.

At the start of today's session, attorneys for the special prosecutor's office and the White House conferred at the bench with U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica. When Haig, at the start of his testimony, offered to volunteer some details of President Nixon's proposed tapes compromise of last October, he was cut off. Sirica said, "I haven't decided in my own mind whether it is relevant or material to these proceedings," Wednesday Haig expressed puzzlement when assistant special Watergate prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste asked: "Did you personally, in any way, become familiar with or involved in consideration being given to entering into a settlement with respect to the tapes litigation with the special prosecutor's office?" White House lawyers objected the question had no bearing on the purpose of the hearing and U.S.

District Judge John J. Sirica adjourned the session after suggesting that Ben-Veniste reword his query to clarify it. Ben-Veniste was referring to the President's proposal last Oct. 19, to" prepare summaries of the subpoenaed tapes, have them verified by Sen. John C.

Stennis, and submitted to the court and the Senate Watergate committee. When special prosecutor Archibald Cox refused to accept the proposal he was fired by Nixon. In his first day testifying at any of the Watergate proceedings in court or before the Watergate committee, Haig proved a self-assured witness. He sparred repeatedly, but usually good-naturedly, with Ben-Veniste. Haig smiled often, blushed occasionally, but generally seemed to enjoy matching wits with the 30-year-old prosecutor who had made earlier witnesses so uncomfortable when he caught them in inconsistencies.

The closest Haig came to displaying anger was when he looked at Ben-Veniste at one point and said, "It's very easy for you to pick at me and portray me as an expert. I'm not going to be." Alfred W. Earl MARINE CITY Alfred W. Earl, 63, of 429 Bruce, died Wednesday in River District Hospital after a short illness. He was born May 21, 1910, in Marine City and lived here all his life.

Hig President Nixon's top aide, testified today that his predecessor, K.R. Haldeman, "does not influence what we do in the White House." made the comment at a federal court hearing when an assistant special Watergate prosecutor pointed out that no one in the White House had access to (fie personal files Haldeman left behind jij locked file cabinets. the documents in the Halde-rrjan files were his notes of a conversation with the President on June 20, 1972. Ah 18-minute segment of the White House tape of that conversation was fdund to be obliterated by a hum. testified that he was told on the evening of Nov.

14 of the length of the hum and that the tape was covered by a subpoena issued last July by the Watergate prosecutor. Haig said that on the next day it was decided to search Haldeman's files to determine if he had taken notes but that White House lawyer J. Fred Buz-hardt told him he did not have the combination to the appropriate file cabinet. He testified Haldeman had told him the previous May that he would leave the combination with the President but that Rose Mary Woods, the President's secretary, couldn't find it. Haldeman had resigned April 30 as White House chief of staff.

Haig called Haldeman, who suggested that the quickest way to find his notes would be to call in Lawrence M. Higby, former Haldeman aide, who was familiar with his files, Haig said. He said he called Higby and "I expressed considerable chagrin about not have the combination to that safe in the White House. I told him I wanted it." Higby testified earlier this week that Haldeman instructed him to call him in California when he found the notes and read them to him before giving them to anyone else. Haig said he was unaware of those instructions.

He was asked whether there was any discussion of informing the court immediately about the 18-minute gap after it was discovered on the 14th. Haig said the President was "doing a lot of other things." In addition, he said, White House counsel were preparing an index and analysis of subpoenaed Watergate material and it was believed important to know everything about the gap and whether there were other gaps.
