Senate to begin study of Talmadge accounts
The Senate Ethics Committee will hear from Herman Talmadge's personal accountant and a government auditing expert as it probes financial practices in a case that could lead to censure or expulsion. The hearings may reveal what the senator knew about $50,000 in false expense reimbursements from 1972 to 1976 and the role of his former aide in embezzlement. Betty Talmadge may testify on his financial habits as the most significant week of hearings unfolds.
