Bell To Continue FBI Prosecution
Attorney General Griffin Bell says he will pursue the indictment of former FBI supervisor John J. Kearney for illegal mail opening and wiretapping, asserting the rule of law requires action despite FBI morale concerns. Bell indicated no aim to drop the case and promised further scrutiny of past and present FBI practices. He met with 10 agents from various cities to hear their views and said the agency’s morale issue would not alter prosecutorial duties. Kansas City man Donald D. Schanker and Sikeston’s Virginia Gayle Cullins appointed to Missouri boards by Gov. Teasdale, Schanker to Pharmacy Board and Cullins to Nursing Board, both with prior public service.
