Robinson links Johnson to urge Justice Dept review in Edlin case
Attorney William L. Robinson testified that Thomas F. Johnson of Maryland first suggested seeking a Justice Department review of a mail fraud indictment against J Kenneth Edlin. Johnson, a former congressman, and Frank Boykin are charged with receiving payment to intercede with the government. Robinson said Johnson handled Maryland legal transactions for Edlin's savings and loan firms, earning a $1,000 retainer and later $600 a month, while denying Johnson established policy or direct influence.

Economic Signs Point to Rising Gold Deficit Pressures

Factors include January dock strikes, lack of debt repayments by foreign nations, and large foreign purchases of securities. Gold holdings declined by 150 million this year as creditors favor metal over dollars.
