Talmadge Attack Prompted By Ethics Committee Testimony
Sen Herman Talmadge launched a vigorous counter push as the Senate Ethics Committee resumed hearings on financial improprieties. His aide T Rogers Wade testified that a $40,000 annual office account was meant for Talmadge personal use, with Wade signing vouchers for official use while knowing funds were spent as the senator pleased. Wade said the claim came from former aide Daniel Minchen, now the chief accuser.
