"Its outlines are known to a number of witnesses, individuals under investigation and their lawyers, select members of my, your and the White House staff and certain investigative personnel of the Internal Revenue Service." A Justice Department source said Thursday that at least some of the allegations made publicly about the criminal investigation involving Agnew are erroneous. He said many of the allegations sound "like it's getting out second or third hand." He speculated that some leaks might be coming from the White the Journal Times, Friday, Aug. 24, 1973 Recine, Wi.

The attorney' general disclosed these steps in a letter Thursday to Agnew. who has complained of "vicious and illegal" leaks to news media about the allegations against him in a Maryland kickback investigation. Richardson said he has put acting Asst. Atty. Gen.

Glen E. Pommerening in charge of the probe. "Should any of the leaks be traced to Department of Justice personnel, departmental regulations providing administrative sanctions, including dismissal, will apply," Richardson said in his letter to Agnew.

The package bomb exploded in the office of the 4 Stock Exchange Council, the market's governing body. Trading in the trading hall on the ground floor of the 26-sotry building was not interrupted. Ten letter bombs were received earlier this week by various government offices and organizations in London, and 15 small incendiary devices have been planted in leading department stores, causing slight damage. Scotland Yard reported that one of the letter bombs was delivered to Prime Minister Edward Heath's office-residence and lay partially open in a mail tray for hours before a secretary realized its lethal contents. LONDON (AP) A letter bomb exploded on the 22nd floor of the Loncon Stock Exchange today, wounding the secretary-general of the exchange -and his private secretary.

They were the first casualties in the six-day wave of letter and incendiary bombs plaguing the British capital. Scotland Yard believes the bombers are terrorists from Northern Ireland and probably members of the Irish Republican Army. The secretary-general of the stock exchange, 61-year-old George W.R. Brind, sustained minor hand wounds in the explosion. His 26-year-old secretary, Joanna Knight, who opened the booby-trapped letter, had serious hand injuries and minor facial and leg wounds.

Brind was sitting at his desk opposite Miss Knight when she opened the envelope addressed to paperback book was delivered to No. 10 Downing St. on Tuesday in the first batch of letter bombs sent to government offices and various organizations in London this week. The fact that No. 10 had been one of the targets was kept secret for 48 hours.

Heath at the time was at Chequers, the prime minister's country home. The bomb consisted of about four ounces of plastic explosives packed in a book about Gustav Mahler, one of the music-loving prime minister's favorite composers. The packet was addressed to a member of the secretarial staff, and the secretary who opened it partially put it aside, thinking it was a circular. tomorrow.)

The Matz firm allegedly paid a total of $5,600 in six payments to Anderson the indictment said. Gaudreau, a Baltimore architectural firm, is charged in the indictment with paying the most in bribes. $23,920. It had received a design contract for the recently completed court building in Towson.

The panel was dismissed after it presented the indictment to U.S. District Judge Frank Kaufman. One of Beall's chief assistants, Barnet Skolnik, said the jurors would be summoned back to work at an unspecified date. This might not be until after Labor Day. possibly on Sept.

6, when an out-of-state federal district judge. Walter E. Hoffman of Norfolk. returns from a European vacation. He was named to supervise the Agnew phase of the probe after the nine judges in Maryland withdrew because of their close personal connections with the Vice President.

BALTIMORE (AP) Dale Anderson, a Democrat who succeeded Vice President Spiro T. Agnew as chief -executive of Baltimore County, has been charged with extortion and bribery in a kickback scheme involving architects and engineers. The indictment by a federal grand jury Thursday was the first in a far-reaching investigation of political corruption in Maryland. The grand jury, empanelled in December, is expected to begin probing soon allegations of similar illegal payments to Agnew. t.

And an hour after Anderson's indictment was announced Agnew responded he found the charges "totally at variance with my impressions of him and everything I know about him." "Despite our political differences, in all my associations with Mr. Anderson, both official and private, he has exhibited unusual candor and the vice president added. The 56-year-old Anderson said he was innocent of accusations that he extorted $46,270 from eight firms doing business with the county. Gov. Marvin Mandel, a Democrat who followed Agnew into the state house in Annapolis, said he wouldn't comment until Anderson "has had his day in court." allegedly began in November 1966.

At the time Agnew was the county's chief elected official. U.S. Attorney George Beall, who heads1 the probe, said "further indictments can be expected." He added that "the investigation of Mr. Anderson, other public officials and business entities and individuals in Baltimore County is continuing." Beyond that he didn't amplify: Anderson heard the news about the indictment on a radio in his office in nearby Towson, the. county seat.

"1 don't want to talk to anybody," he told newsmen as he left the building with'his wife. Last week at a news conference, after rumors circulated that he was to be indicted, Anderson flatly denied any illegal activities in-evolving cash collected from firms doing design and architectural work on bridges, buildings and sanitation projects for the county. He acknowledged then that many such contractors had made campaign contributions, and that William E. Fornoff, his chief administrative officer, had picked up such payments when he worked for Anderson and had passed the money to him. Fornoff was named as the co-conspirator in the indictment.

Meanwhile, Atty. Gen. Elliot L. Richardson said Thursday he is istration, "to undertake a systematic inquiry using any and all departmental resources as he sees fit." Richardson said he also has asked the director of the FBI to cooperate by making available FBI personnel to assist in the inquiry as needed. Under the 39 counts Anderson could be sentenced to a maximum of 675 years in jail and fined $390,000.

Beall didn't say when Anderson, who suffered a mild stroke in June, would.be arraigned. Fornoff, who served briefly as Agnew's chief aide and continued in that post with Anderson, resigned last June after pleading guilty to a tax charge stemming from his admitted role as a middle man between Anderson and the' consultants. The indictment charged that Fornoff collected 31 bribe payments "by the wrongful use of the fear of financial and economic injury." It said he acted as "agent" for Anderson. A source close to the investigation said Fornoff 's statements to the probers led them to at least two engineers Lester Matz and Jerome J. Wolff who allegedly involved Agnew.

Wolff, head of Greiner Environmental Services, served as head of the State Roads Commission when Agnqw was governor and later as a vice presidential aide. The indictment charges Greiner kicked in $1,750 to Anderson. Matz, a partner in Matz, Childs and Associates, is a long-time Agnew friend and was associated in a land speculation deal while The boss of the sprawling Baltimore city suburb and one of the most powerful Democrats in Maryland, Anderson was the sole defendant in the 39-count indictment.

(AP) Caril Ann Fugate, who traveled with Charles Starkweather in a 1958 murder spree in which 11 persons died, cleared a hurdle today that that could lead to her parole. The three-member state parole board on a majority vote recommended to the state pardon board that it commute her sentence to a definite term of years, a necessary preliminary to parole. She was 14 when she accompanied Starkweather, who died in the electric chair in 1959 for the string of murders in Nebraska and Starkweather, then 19, was her boyfriend.

Taking a look at what's ahead in the Nixon administration, Kissinger said there would be more emphasis on U.S. relationships with Europe and Japan.
