...Investigation last week held open hearings into bribery charges by Mayor Robert Wagner against Democratic State Chairman William McKeon.

Javits (R-N.Y.) speaking at a testimonial dinner for Hugh Scott at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia, October 20, 1964. Sen. Scott is at his side...
