In Washington UPI Chief Judge George L Hart Jr denied defense moves to dismiss two conspiracy counts and two perjury counts against former Treasury Secretary John B Connally linked to a 1971 milk price case.

Connally, 11 years after a Dallas gunman wounded him while riding with President Kennedy, faced pretrial arguments with his wife and son present. The indictment had charged Connally with accepting 10000 dollars from milk cooperatives.
