WASHINGTON (AP)--Presidential Associates H.R. Halde- man and John D. Ehrlichman began testifying before the Watergate grand jury yesterday. Their lawyer said they are confident of acquittal if indicted. Both men resigned from the White House staff Monday after news accounts and other sources linked them to an alleged coverup of the Watergate wiretapping. Ehrlich- man has been tied to two other scandals as well, an alleged burglary in the Pentagon Papers case and a Leban- ese bank deal promoted by accused mutual-fund looter Robert L. Vesco.

Haldeman, who had been Nixon's chief of staff, and Ehrlichman, his chief domestic adviser, spent yesterday morning talking with chief prosecutor Earl Silbert. They began giving testimony in the afternoon. Ehrlich- man went first. Their lawyer, John J. Wilson, said neither would claim any protection against self-incrim- ination.

Wilson was asked by newsmen if his clients fear they will be indicted. "I don't know about that," he said. "But they have no fear of being convicted." Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General Designate Elliot L. Richardson promised Republican senators yesterday he will name an independent prosecutor in the Watergate case "in the next day or two," Senate sources said.
