Exposed VISTA Exhibits Scandal Involves Carpet Deals
The article details unbid VISTA contracts for permanent exhibits, with Burwell and associate M. Jack Hirose paid as subcontractors and $115,201 in unaccounted recruitment materials plus $49,823 in VISTA volunteer magazine work over three years. Carpet sales to recruitment chief Alexander Grant draw questions, while three exhibits sit idle and a fourth was handed to General Electric. Walter Reed Army Hospital drug arrests embarrass officials including Brig. Gen. Winant Sidle and Louis Arrants after Arrants denied problems to a reporter, spurring a complaint from a reader. The White House fears cuts to welfare funds for dependent children and the elderly, to be decided by coin flip in the view of one administrator.
