Republicans Lose Battle For Probe Of Clark Actions
Washington AP reports a tense 18 hour Senate session ended with Republicans conceding defeat in their bid to investigate Attorney General Clark over Nansag City vote fraud charges. The GOP halted the plan to adjourn until noon and accepted moving onto an appropriation bill as dawn broke. Despite an earlier 30 to 8 victory on the Ker probe, party leaders admitted defeat on pursuing the Clark investigation as National Labor Relations Board nominations faced opposition and debate continued on foreign relief and occupation costs.
