Ashland Oil Chief Admits Illegal 1972 Campaign Donation
Ashland Oil chairman Orin E Atkins acknowledged an illegal $100,000 contribution to President Nixon's 1972 re election campaign. The donation, made in early 1972 by a subsidiary without board knowledge, was allegedly solicited by Maurice H Stans and traced to Ashland Petroleum Gabon Corp funds. The finance committee returned the funds and Cox noted voluntary disclosure can mitigate charges. Financial penalties and possible imprisonment exist under federal law.
