Dodd Case Sparks Broad Senate Ethics Inquiry
Washington reports say the Senate ethics committee is quietly expanding its investigation of Senator Thom as J Dodd into a major examination of Congressional income and spending. The Dodd and Bobby Baker cases have damaged the Senate’s image and sparked calls for ethical guidelines to restore integrity. Major L P McLendon, counsel for the investigating committee, urges action to curb abuses within the Senate. Dodd’s withdrawal of most charges in his lawsuit against Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson underscores the need for scrutiny to prevent further improprieties. Pearson’s work is praised for exposing weaknesses in political shenanigans condoned in Senate circles.
