FBI to Check 30000 Given Truman Fund
Washington D C The dust up over a $30000 donation to the Truman fund is under federal review as the House Ways and Means subcommittee concluded its inquiry into lax matters during the Truman era. Mayock testified he paid $80000 of his into Democratic campaigns while Lasdon Markus and Solomon denied receiving funds and perjury and tax evasion questions arose. The investigation, now with the Justice Department, concerns why a Treasury ruling favored Lasdon and the source of the funds cited by Mayock.
