Chisholm
Cleared Of
US Charge
BY LOUISE E WYCHE
National Black News Service
WASHINGTON - To really
no (me’s surprise. Congress-
woman ^irley Chisholm has
been practically cleared of
charges that she and her
campaign for President com
mittee mishandled funds.
The allegation, which was
made in a lO-pagc report by
the General Accounting Office
- an arm of the Congress •
said there were “apparent
violations” of federal ck'ction
and corporate regulations.
However. Mrs. Chisholm,
from the beginning, insisted
that the investigations were
merely an attempt by the
Nixon Administration “lo gel
me." and contended that she
had been singled out for “in
vestigation" and “harass
ment" since she lius Uiken
such a strong independent po
litical stand. She was highly
critical of the administration's
policies.
