Congressmen near an end SHINGTON probe moves to finish
The House committee weighing South Korean influence buying resumes hearings to hear final arguments against Rep. John J. McFall and Rep. Edward J. Patten. A decision on punishment could come at the close of arguments, with any penalties subject to House approval. McFall faced charges over a $3000 Park contribution and a gift, while Patten faced questions over two $500 donations to a New Jersey Democratic group. The panel already recommended censure for Roybal and reprimand for Wilson.

Politics blamed as GSA corruption widens probe
Washington AP notes the General Services Administration corruption scandal costs taxpayers up to 100 million annually and is partly blamed on politics. GSA chief investigator Vincent Alto cites political appointments and contractor-favoring letters, though he won’t name implicated congressmen. Administrator Jay Solomon attributes weak management and loose regulations, pledging tighter controls as six grand juries examine GSA dealings.
