Senate leaders charged with extortion in Boston case
Massachusetts Senate Majority Leader Joseph DiCarlo and GOP Assistant Leader Ronald MacKenzie were indicted by a federal grand jury on eight counts including extortion, conspiracy, and travel act violations. They allegedly extorted 40000 dollars from McKee-Berger-Mansueto Inc for the UMass Boston campus contract. The indictment covers Jan 1971 to mid 1972 with two 5000 dollar and three 10000 dollar installments, and mentions an unindicted co conspirator. The case follows a 23 page inquiry by a special committee created in 1971 to probe consulting contracts for the 134 million UMass Boston project. DiCarlo vows to abdicate duties until acquitted. Harrington's aides would assume leadership. Gov Dukakis comments on presumption of innocence.

Thomson backs Reagan run in NH amid graft debate
New Hampshire Governor Meldrim Thomson signals strong support for Ronald Reagan as the GOP edges toward the national convention. He notes his 99 percent likelihood of attending to help Reagan secure the nomination, while urging gubernatorial candidates to honor spending limits despite a federal court ruling. Thomson’s campaign aides indicate a potential reassessment if others ignore limits, as Democratic rival James Connor emphasizes honest work and the energy issue features in the 2nd District race.
