Spokane Daily Chronicle, Saturday, Jan. 22, 1972. Alioto'Fee Deal Challenged In Ex Auditor's Testimony to remove the ceiling on Ali-otos fees. If I asked him OConnell a direct question, I did not get a direct answer, Call said. He paraphrased OConnell as saying during a 1968 conference, We operated on the basis that if anyone objected to the way things were being handled they would sound off.

The only two who sounded off were Seattle and Tacoma, Calls notes added. He explained that the notes referred to a $196,0006 refund to Seattle and Tacoma after the two cities complained that they were not informed that the ceiling was lifted. Did OConnell mention he VANCOUVE R. Wash. (AP) A former state auditor says his investigation indicated there exists no specific authorization for removing the $1 million fee ceiling on antitrust work Joseph Alioto did for Washington in the 1960s.

Former auditor James Call testified about his audit of the Washington Utilities Antitrust Group litigation fund in 1968 during his general audit of the state attorney generals office, when John J. OConnell held that spot. Evasion Seen Call said OConnell was evasive when asked to prove the state and 12 public utilities districts authorized him had personally contributed $65,000 to the Seattle and Tacoma refunds or that George Faler had contributed plaintiffs attorney Tom Huber asked Call. Call testified OConnell had not. Call said he found nothing to indicate that Alioto has paid O'Connell anything, and Connell never mentioned the fee-sharing.

Background Told OConnell, San Francisco Mayor Alioto, then a private attorney, and one time O'Connell assistant George K. Faler are being sued for recovery of the $2 3 million in fees which the state and utilities contend Alioto shared with OConnell after the fee ceiling was lifted. OConnell and Faler ultimately shared $800,000 of the fees. 7 Are Dead Fire Levels Terminal at Manila's Airport Vote Figure Corrected on Survey international airlines said their flights in and out of Manila would be canceled at least through Sunday.

An Associated Press story about the survey incorrectly reversed the figures. Thirty -four per cent thought militant groups had not made much difference. The survey was among 34,000 senior high school students and 51,000 junior high school students who mailed in questionnaires published in World Week, Senior Scholastic, American Observer and Junior Scholastic magazines. The question about militant groups gave Students for a Democratic Society, the Black Panthers and the Young Lords as examples.
