Negro Leader Faces Cleric in Senate Testimony on Gang Ties
In a Washington Senate hearing, George "Watusi" Rose accused Rev. John R. Fry of knowing gang activity within his Chicago church and of warning members of police raids. Rose claimed Fry gave order to eliminate a narcotics target and that gun and marijuana activity occurred at the church. Fry denied the accusations as senators probe a $927,000 Office of Economic Opportunity grant aiding the Rangers and the Devil's Disciples.
