...committee is still trying to determine whether Administration-approved settlements of three antitrust cases against International Telephone & Telegraph were linked with the ITT offer to pledge at least $200,000 toward underwriting the Republican National Convention in San Diego in August. The now famous Dita Beard memo quoted by Columnist, Jack Anderson, clearly implied a link.

A nearby window was a refracted pattern...
...unidentified ITT employee slipped Columnist Jack Anderson the famous Dita Beard and Chile memos, and Anderson says that someone at ITT still feeds him information. Last week Anderson wrote that a high-level employee at Pfizer Inc. tipped him that the drug company's managers were urging workers to write their Congressmen to express opposition to a bill that would set up a federal consumer-protection agency; a worker at Ford apparently put Anderson on to safety defects in the company's "sexy" Capri compact.
