...long fall of Ohio Congressman Wayne Hays finally concluded in a whimper. Charged last May with using his office payroll to keep Elizabeth Ray, 33, as his mistress, the 14-term Democrat had lost his House Administration Committee chairmanship, was hospitalized in June after an overdose of drugs, and in August announced he would not run for reelection. Last week the Congressman completed his slide down Capitol Hill with a terse, one-sentence letter of resignation. Hays' departure will spare him public examination by the House Ethics Committee, which immediately dropped its probe into how Ray earned...
...help crack the case, the bureau called in Dr. William S. Kroger, an authority on medical hypnosis. Kroger sat with Chowchilla Bus Driver Ed Ray in a Fresno motel room and told him to fix his eyes on a spot on the wall and breathe deeply. Twenty minutes later Ray was under hypnosis. Dr. Kroger then led him through a playback of the kidnaping. The ploy worked. The driver was able to recall all but one digit of the license plate on the kidnapers' white van. The information helped authorities track down three suspects who go on trial later...
Rapaport notes that some of the early kidney transplant recipients, including Riteris, were in fact also irradiated. But in most cases the technique proved unreliable-in part because of uncertainties about how much X-ray dosage the body could withstand-and was thus abandoned.

...vice-presidential suggestions from 5,427 delegates, party leaders and officeholders round the country. He also dispatched fat envelopes, seeking voluminous personal information from at least 21 prospects. Certainly, Ford was tossing about many more names than could really be under consideration. Among those frequently mentioned were: Governors Robert Ray of Iowa, Daniel Evans of Washington and Christopher Bond of Missouri, Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee, Congressman John Anderson of Illinois, Treasury Secretary William Simon, former Treasury Secretary Connally and U.N. Ambassador William Scranton...
Shorn like Samson of his power, Congressman Wayne Hays, 65, decided to head for the exits last week. "With a heavy heart," the Ohio Democrat announced his withdrawal from the race for a 15th term in the House. The Delilah in his downfall was, of course, Elizabeth Ray, 33, who disclosed last May that she had been kept on the Congressman's payroll as a clerk but had served mostly as his mistress. In June, Hays entered a hospital in Barnesville, Ohio, suffering from an overdose of drugs, and shortly thereafter he was stripped of his chairmanship...
