Suspect ‘laundering’ of
campaign funds probed
WASHINGTON (UPI) — A
report that President Nixon’s
re-election committee “laun
dered” $2 million in illegal
contributions through banks in
the Bahamas is being investi
gated by the Senate Watergate
committee.
Charles “Bebe” Rebozo, the
businessman who is a close
friend of the President, either
used or owned some of the
banks. But committee sources
said Monday there was “noth
ing at this point to involve”
Rebozo.

Dog successful
GRANGEVILLE, Idaho
(UPI) — A collie dog spent a
week unsuccessfully attempting
to draw the attention of passing
motorists to his master’s traffic
accident, Idaho County Coroner
Leo Whitcomb said Monday.
The dog would run 30 feet
down an embankment and sit
and stare at persons who
stopped their cars. Whitcomb
said people thought he was
trying to get away instead of
trying to tell them something.
Two weeks ago the dog
disappeared. The coroner said
a pickup truck was found
Sunday at the bottom of the
embankment. The driver, an
unidentified man, was dead.

Company (ABC) reported that
the Senate committee staff
already had questioned Fran
klin S. Deboer, an officer in
Rebozo’s Key Biscayne, Fla.,
Bank and Trust Co. ABC said
Deboer is expected to be asked
to appear before the committee
when it resumes its hearings
next month.
Deboer denied any wrong
doing, ABC reported. The
network said Senate investiga
tors also have questioned
several of Rebozo’s financial
associates and former em
ployes.
The network said the money
under investigation was run
through several gambling casi
nos in the Bahamas before
being placed in several Miami
banks, including Rebozo’s.
Committee sources told UPI
that records of former White
House aides H. R. Haldeman
and John D. Ehrlichman had
been subpoenaed in connection
with the inquiry. The sources
said transcripts of recordings
and logs of activities of the two
at Key Biscayne at the time the
contributions allegedly were
made were included.
“We have no firm data yet,”
one source said. “But our
investigation has led us down
this path, and we have
subpoenaed the evidence that is
essential in proving or disprov
ing our case.”
The source added that the
laundering “reportedly involves
around $2 million in contribu
tions that were illegal, though
we don’t know for sure the
source.”
“Someone supposedly took
the money to the Bahamas
(and) ran it through these
banks to launder it,” the source
said.
Johnson,
Chambers
qualify
ATLANTA (UPI) - Two per
sons officially qualified for the
Atlanta mayoral race Monday,
the first day of qualifying.
Qualification of a third can
didate, Socialist Worker Debby
Bustin, will not be official un
til the names on her petition
are verified.
State Sen. Leroy Johnson and
security service operator John
Chambers were the first to sign
up and pay SI,OOO entrance fee.
Johnson said he was qualify
ing on the first day to “dispel
the notion that we have any
other intent in this race rather
than to win and be mayor of
the city.”
Chambers, an ex - policeman,
is running a rigid law and or
der campaign.
The city election will also in
clude president of the city coun
cil, 18 city council seats and
nine Board of Education seats.
Assistant City Clerk Jesse
Boarden said only 24 candidates
signed up Monday, a low turn
out in comparison with 57 can
didates in the first two hours of
qualifying in 1969.
Os the 24 candidates who qua
lified Monday, nine were incum
bent aidermen.
Joel L. Aber was the only can
didate to qualify in the race
for president of the council,
which will replace the present
vice mayoral position.

Harm can occur
Drug overdose and memory
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
Dear Dr. Lamb — Two and
a half years ago I took an
overdose of barbituates. I was
in the hospital two weeks, but
only remember three days of
it. Since then my memory is
terrible. I can’t remember
even simple things for very
long. Before that my memory
was perfect.
Now I want to sign up for
night school to get my diplo
ma, but I want to know, will it
pay to spend the money since
I might not be able to remem
ber things until I took the
test. Is my problem caused
from the pills I took, and, if
so, is there anything I can do
to improve my memory?
I was not on dope. I got the
pills from a doctor who was
treating me for nerves. I have
not seen a doctor since I left
the hospital. Would it help if I
did?
Dear Reader — With over
doses of sleeping pills, and
similar problems, it’s not
always possible to determine
what degree of complete re
covery will occur until after
the acute crisis is over. If the
person has a shock-like reac
tion, or anything else happens
that decreases the blood sup
ply of oxygen to the brain for
a prolonged period of time,
there is a possibility of brain
damage. This can affect a
person’s memory and the per
sonality afterwards.
Fortunately, there is contin
ued recovery of even the
memory and personality fac
tors for some time after the
initial crisis. Even so, if the
crisis is too bad, and the
Wives back husbands
MARIETTA, Ga. (UPI)-The
wives of two men convicted in
the murders of two prominent
Marietta doctors have put out
a plea for help.
Mrs. Hoyt Powell and Mrs.
Billy Jenkins say they believe
all six men convicted of the
crime are innocent, and they
have purchased 25 thirty - sec
ond radio spots on station WBIE
in Marietta and advertisements
in the Atlanta and Marietta
Sunday newspapers asking any
one with information about the
crime to report it to them.
The husbands of the women
were sentencted in July to life
in prison for the slayings of Dr.
Warren Matthews, 69, chief pa
thologist at Kennestone Hospi

SOUTHEND, England (UPI)
— Police trapped themselves
when their highway radar
stopped Magistrate Edward
Dutton.
A magistrate brought in from
another district to try Dutton
on the speeding charge Monday
found the radar trap was set on
the wrong side of the road and
could have been triggered by
cars going the other way. He
dismissed the case.

brain doesn’t get enough oxy
gen for too long a period of
time, or is exposed to toxins
in any way for a long period
of time, brain damage can
result.
This point is not always
understood by people, and
they think only of the differ
ence between life or death,
which occurs in such situa
tions. The truth is, there are
other complications that can
occur, even if the person sur
vives.
Let me use a good simple
example. If a person tried to
commit suicide by carbon
monoxide poisoning, such as
running the car in a closed
garage or similar techniques,
the carbon monoxide poison
ing will decrease the oxygen
available to the brain. The
carbon monoxide combines
with the hemoglobin in the red
blood cells and makes it im
possible for them to carry
oxygen. If the person is res

Poet Aiken is buried ‘
SAVANNAH, Ga. (UPI) - A
dry - eyed widow and a few
friends buried Pulitzer Prize
winning poet Conrad Potter Aik
en here Monday on the lot
where his parents are buried.
About 25 persons attended the
simple graveside ceremony in
Bonaventure Cemetery. There
were no flowers and no clergy.
Dr. Joseph Killorn of Savan
nah, who is editing Aiken’s let
ters, read of portion of his poem
“Tetelestai,” a meditation on
death.
“Say that I have no name,
no gifts, no power,
Am only one of millions, most
ly silent;
One who came with eyes, and
hands and a heart,
Looked on beauty and loved
it,
And then left it...
Should I not hear, as I lie
down in dust,
The horns of glory blowing
above my burial?”
Aiken died Friday in a Savan
nah convalescent home. He had
turned 84 Aug. 5.
Aiken was a poet of national
fame and a friend of such lit
erary greats as T. S. Eliot and
Ezra Pound. He won the Pilitz
er Prize for his “Select
ed Poems” in 1930, and also
won the National Book Award
pleted the act, and the brain
didn’t get oxygen for a long
period of time, there may be
permanent brain damage.
The only way to determine
the degree and importance of
brain damage is by psycholog
ical testing. Incidentally, it
may be possible to improve
your memory skills by certain
types of memory exercises.
You are entirely right that
it’s a good idea to find out
what your capabilities are,
and what problems you might
encounter before starting to
resume your schooling. You
should see your doctor and
perhaps he can arrange for
you to have psychological test
ing to determine if you really
have a memory problem, or
something else can be done to
help you improve your memo
ry response and, hence, learn
ing ability. I would encourage
you to do this as you may
really be able to do something
useful for yourself.
