Probe ordered in Dodd fund probe
The Internal Revenue Service ordered a tax investigation into more than 100000 dollars raised for Sen. Thomas J. Dodd at testimonial dinners in Connecticut. The probe follows accusations by Sen. John J. Williams that the Johnson administration planned to relieve Dodd from tax liability on the funds. Associates contend the money were tax free gifts or personal expenses.
