Gurney Indicted Amid Political Debate and Bribery Claims
The 1924 indictment against Edward J. Gurney was later dismissed amid claims of a political vendetta as he remains in office since 1965. The charges carried up to 42 years in prison and at least $80,000 in fines, with potential higher penalties if bribery figures are tripled. Witnesses said funds were solicited by former aide Larry Williams and FHA officials to aid Gurney's campaign, including bribes totaling $93,000. In parallel, Miami builder John Priestes alleged he would have testified before Watergate investigators if not blocked by counsel. Major figures described as part of the scheme include Williams and William Pelski, tied to FHA mortgage commitments for hundreds of homes. In New Jersey, Mayor Gail Anglada and her husband face marijuana possession charges stemming from a July 2 investigation in Millstone.

Sinatra and Aussies reach truce after row
Promoter Robert Raymond praised unions for restraint after tensions over insults to Australian journalists. Hawke met Sinatra in Sydney as unions threatened boycotts and service bans on flights. Sinatra offered a free TV appearance to make up for a canceled Melbourne show, while lawyers argued over culpability. A separate note recalls a 1973 Washington Post clash with Maxine Cheshire.
