Donation or bribe by Hughes? Senator Probe
A Senate Watergate inquiry hears Richard Danner, a rep of Howard Hughes, claim he obtained a 1970 antitrust waiver from Attorney General John Mitchell while delivering 100000 dollars in gambling money to Bebe Rebozo. He says the money aided Hughes Las Vegas deals but Mitchell did not know of any quid pro quo. Danner cites three Mitchell discussions about buying the Dunes hotel casino and notes a 1970 timing. Rebozo’s $50000 payments, and IRS amendments, are presented as campaign contributions, not bribes, amid questions on the line between contributions and illicit payments. The report also touches Roosevelt links to racketeers and a jailed Mastriana, with DOJ payments ongoing for protection while cooperating in stock swindle probes.

Booze battle over liquor monopoly questioned in report
A Pennsylvania retail liquor study commissioned by Shapp finds one in six bottles bought in state comes from out of state. Critics say the report ignores philosophical implications of private enterprise versus state control, arguing the Liquor Control Board should focus on control, alcoholism programs, and drunken driving prevention rather than profits.
