W Safire comment notes Pres Nixon's confessions--of error, not guilt-in his Watergate statement; says confessions include: admission that bureaucratic civil war took place in '70 pitting FBI against foreign intelligence agencies on issue of whether to resume authority, ended in '66, permitting US agents to burglarize for natl security reasons; Pres asserted he told Asst Atty Gen Petersen to 'confine his investigation to Watergate and stay out of natl security matters'; Pres said he instructed H R Haldeman and J D Ehrlichman to ensure that investigation of break-in not expose either unrelated covert CIA operation; said 'it is clear that unethical, as well as illegal, activities took place in course of '72 campaign'; Safire says statement raises more questions than it answers; says Nixon put it out to enable Haldeman, Ehrlichman, CIA Deputy Dir Walters and E Krogh Jr to testify truthfully without seeming disloyal to Pres; says it tries to separate dirty pol, which is unconscionable, from dirty, but more conscionable, business of stretching or breaking laws in behalf of natl security; says most important, statement focuses attention on dilemma that drew Nixon Adm into supersnoop business in 1st place
