HEW proposes free care for poor tied to funding rules

Yablonski Links Payoffs to Pension and Gillys
Yablonski contends a low paid UMW job funded a pension while accusing the Gillys of diverting funds. He cites a $12 000 base salary plus $1 800 annual pension and claims $5 000 was kept by the Gillys. FBI probes include the District 19 Research and Education Committee as a possible source of payoff money. The UMW distributed over $800 in expense checks to 22 committee members in 1969 amid charges of kickbacks to the union.
