Sen. Abraham Ribicoff said Bert Lance’s fate rests with two men the president and Lance. Carter noted public support but Lance pressed innocence during hearings. Ribicoff suspended the inquiry for two weeks, saying the decision is between the president and Lance. Powell cited 2027 calls for and against Lance with no timing on a decision.

Evidence gaps let offenders go free in major city police work
A government funded study found fewer than 30 percent of serious crime arrests in Washington, D C led to convictions in 1974. When officers produced tangible evidence with suspects, convictions rose. 5 184 of 17 534 arrests succeeded, with 368 evidence rich officers accounting for half the convictions. Similar trends appeared in Baltimore Detroit and California counties. The report calls for training and new performance measures focusing on convictions rather than arrests.
