practice of buying a gasoline with an
unnecessarily high octane — and
price.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate
Ethics Committee is opening its first
public scrutiny of a senator's ethics in
12 years by calling former and current
employees of Sen. Herman Talmadge '
to testify.
The proceedings against Talmadge,
who has been accused of financial
misconduct, are the first held by the
committee since its hearings in 1966
and 1967 that led to the censure of
former Sen. Thomas Dodd, DGonn.
Before starting the'hearings today,
the committee told attorneys for the
Georgia Democrat it would drop the
proceedings if Talmadge would
consent to censure. But that offer,
made .earlier this month after the at-
torneys asked the committee what it
would take to end the case, never was
accepted by Talmadge
The leadoff witness for the hearing
was expected to be T Rogers Wade,
Talmadge's current administrative
assistant.
The committee also said it planned
is more lead on the cylinder walls and
sparkplugs that are worn out sooner."
The new octane labels have been
required on gasoline pumps since
April 1, but many gas stations still
don’t have them in place. The FTC has
said enforcement — backed by fines of
up to $10,000 a day — will begin June 1.
The proper octane for nearly all
cars is between 87 and 95.
To find the proper octane, the FTC
recommends trial-and-error method.

former personal secretary.
Talmadge, who let chairman of the
Senate Agriculture Committee and %
the No. 2 ranking Democrat on the
powerful Finance Committee, faced
five allegations relating to his finan-
cial conduct.
The committee has accused the 22-
year Senate veteran of violating
Senate rules by converting campaign
contributions to his own use, of sub-
mitting incorrect expense vouchers,
of filing false reports of receipts and
bringing the direct election of the
mayor and the expansion of the

gasoline that is higher in octane than
