Mark Catlin Jr., Appleton attorney and Wisconsin Assembly speaker, rejects unethical conduct charges as unfounded to seek the Republican U. S. Senate nomination. He plans to attend the Wisconsin GOP State Convention May 25-26 in Milwaukee for endorsement while denying influence peddling in pardons. The Wisconsin Supreme Court allege he took about 5725 dollars from inmates or families to aid clemency efforts, a disciplinary action the bar commission filed after review of incidents from 1953 to 1955 involving Louis and Frank Fazio of Kenosha. Catlin says he acted only as a lawyer and asks for a referee to expedite resolution to protect the bar and fellow lawmakers from character attacks.
