A sampling of Chanute attorneys last week found most noncommittal on Watergate questions. They noted little knowledge gap versus laymen on Nixon's guilt or impeachment prospects and urged strict enforcement of existing ethics standards instead of new reforms. Some cited high Kansas Bar standards and self policing, while others blamed public demand for integrity in politics and highlighted campaign finance issues as part of the broader crisis.
