the official investigation ordered on
the first charge will proceed as far as
the law will allow, despite the resigna-

These developments followed q long

ing the charges.
Although adverse to discussing the

ted that disclosures of a sensational

Governor Burnquist said that other
officials may be suspended from Office

Slocum, if the charges warrant such
action. He explained that the con-
