* Jaworski's staff blasted by Ziegler, White House WASHINGTON (AP)--The White House said yesterday that all seven subpoenaed Watergate tapes "are intact" and charged that the staff of the special Watergate prosecutor, is displaying "ingrained suspicion and visceral dislike for the President and this administration." The heated charge came from Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler, who made an unusual appearance to brief newsmen at the White House because of the illness of Deputy Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren. Expressing his respect for Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski, Ziegler said he was "in no way casting any as- persions" on him. But the presidential spokesman declared: "I have very serious questions about the staff of the H special prosecutor in political terms." When a reporter suggested that Jaworski "has spoken kindly" of the staff that was put together by former Spe- cial Prosecutor Archibald Cox, Ziegler replied: "Well, I speak unkindly of them." Ziegler noted reports Wednesday in federal court that technicians, in duplicating the subpoenaed tapes, had detected conversationless spots in some tapes. Earlier, the White House had disclosed an 18-minute gap existed in the tape of a June 20, 1972, conversation between Nixon * and H.R. Haldeman, then White House chief of staff. Ziegler said "there has been an impression" that con- versations on the seven subpoenaed tapes "are not intact. He said, "In fact, they are intact." And the press secretary said that the White House recording system was sound-activated and could have been set off by sounds from an air conditioner or a ticking clock as well as by conversations. "It's a lousy system," he declared of the White House taping operation. The White House said last month that two other subpoen- aed tapes don't exist. Ziegler attributed some of the difficulties of the White House in the handling of the subpoenaed materials PRESS SECRETARY ZIEGLER as due to an overworked staff and "somewhat sloppy" work ."I speak unkindly of Ithem" (See ZIEGLER Page 2) Israeli, Egyptian negotiators GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA break off unsuccessful 'talks By the Associated Press Israeli and Egyptian negotiators broke off their truce talks yesterday.
