Connally Prosecutor Urges Guilty Verdict In Bribery Trial
The assistant prosecutor argued that former treasury secretary Connally should be convicted, citing corroboration from his chief accuser Jacobsen on key points. He traced calls, meetings, and bank activity to show Jacobsen’s story was true, including two $5,000 payoffs in 1971 and related travel and safe deposit box openings. The report also covers Cambodian unrest with Sihanouk’s status, Red Cross actions, and battles near Phnom Penh.

Senator Sparkman said the White House was urged to pull 4,000 Americans out within a week and that a draft bill reached the White House, with a Senate vote possible by Thursday.
