...about the letter; Democrats as well as Republicans solicit convention contributions in much the same manner, and both stand to benefit from the new law. However, coming from the Justice Department, the letter is intriguing in light of the current flap over the convention contributions of International Telephone and Telegraph. Written six weeks before the ITT controversy erupted, the letter is the first definite link in San Diego between the convention and the Justice Department. It also confirms that Kalmbach and his law firm have clout in representing Nixon in the West. Indeed, Kalmbach's career is a case...
...Administration found itself laboring under the shadow of what could be a major image-damaging scandal. The charge was that for a price-a $400,000 gift to help defray this year's G.O.P. convention costs -the Justice Department had dropped antitrust suits against the International Telephone and Telegraph Corp. The President was only indirectly involved, but the accusations-so far unproved -were aimed at his closest adviser, former Attorney General John Mitchell, and Mitchell's successor-designate, Richard Kleindienst...
Last week, as an unmistakable signal to his restive countrymen, Bhutto moved abruptly to shake up Pakistan's demoralized armed forces. After taking the precaution of placing the television station under guard and temporarily closing down the telegraph office, he went on the air to announce that he had sacked the army and air force commanders, who had helped him gain power last December.

Winchell reached his strident peak with the program he took to the airwaves in 1933. Before long, one-third of the adult U.S. population was poised by radios each Sunday night to hear the familiar, high-pitched voice announce above the urgent sound of a telegraph key: "Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. North America and all the ships at sea. Let's go to press!" No one, save perhaps President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, an avid listener and confidant, was safe from the Winchell shaft. He railed against "Hitlerooting" U.S. Senators, accused Defense Secretary James Forrestal of plotting a Wall...
When a shift is made in chief executives at American Telephone and Telegraph, company public relations men need do little more than change the names in official biographies. The last five of Ma Bell's chiefs came from relatively small towns, earned engineering degrees, worked for the company first as common laborers and spent decades climbing the executive rungs. Last week a 56-year-old V.M.I, engineering graduate from Greensboro, N.C., named John Dulany DeButts was appointed A.T. & T.'s new chairman. He replaces Haakon Ingolf Romnes, who reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65 in March...
