Ashland Oil Inc pled guilty to concealing illegal political donations to Democratic figures including Robert Strauss and senators Humphrey and Tower. The five-count indictment fined the company the maximum 25,000 dollars and accused Chairman Orin Atkins of lying to investigators. The plea details $50,000 to Strauss for DNC use and $100,000 through lobbyist Carl Arnold for delivery to unspecified candidates during 1970 to 1972, with the party denying knowledge of corporate funds.
