Here on the home front, the White House continued today its refusal to pledge that President Nixon may abide by a Supreme Court ruling in the Watergate subpoena controversy.

Deputy Press Secretary Gerald Warren replied to a barrage of news briefing questions on the matter by saying, "...anything, I would say, would be irresponsible." He referred to statements by the president's chief Watergate lawyer, James St.

Clair, that he is confident that the Supreme Court will sustain the president's position.

The presidential spokesman said that the White House would file briefs and make its arguments.
