Washington Star reports a secret campaign account opened in 1973 at Riggs National Bank in a name tied to Sen. Herman E. Talmadge with about $13,000 in unreported funds and more than $25,000 in additional transfers. The senator says he did not authorize the account or signities. Minchew, his former aide, is named in the handling of funds and signature devices. Subpoenas and ethics probes followed the bank records as authorities review the finances of the long-serving Georgia Democrat.
