Judge Burnita S. Matthews.
She is expected to set the trial
date at that time.
The indictments, returned
yesterday, apparently mark the
end for the foreseeable future
of grand jury action involving
alleged FEC scandals.
Neither Assistant Attorney
General Malcom Anderson,
head OF the criminal division,
nor Robert J, Rosthal. special
assistant to the Attorney Cen
eral who was in charge of pre-
senting the evidence to the
grand jury, would comment on
any possible future develop
ments.
But, 1t was learned, that the
grand jury which returned the
indictment, while not dis
charged, is not likely to ham
die any more FEC cases.
Ordinarily. a jury which has
already heard testimony along
a specific line would be used
for future inquiries involving
different aspects Of the same
investigation.
The life Of the FEC grand
Jury does not officially expire
until next July.

In general. the indictment
charged Mr.. Whiteside with

exchange for the latter's voting
in favor Of Public Service

Maximum penalty for the
charges is 10 years in prison

was in three counts. The first
count charged Mr.. Mack and
Mr.. Whiteside with conspiring
to influence the administration
of the law under which the
FEC was conducting the Chan

Also included in the conspir-

both men schemed to defraud

Mr., Jones defended his call on
him for two reasons:
Cd That at the time, the mid
die Of February. 1857. the FEC
had just made the final award
TO Public Service and (2) that
Mr., Craven had not particle
pated in the final vote.
On this point. Attorney Paul

man representing a rival appli-
cant, A. Frank Katzentine, said
the record does show that Mr..
Craven had participated In
votes prior to the final one.

FEC attorneys that North Dade,

Mr.. Mack voted in favor Of

their innocence when informed
of the grand jury's findings.
