- <p> INDICTED. WALTER R. TUCKER III, 37, U.S. Representative (D-Calif.);
- on charges of extorting bribes; in Los Angeles. A federal grand
- jury alleged that as mayor of Compton, a struggling Southern
- California city, Tucker took $30,000 and sought $250,000 more
- from a company hoping to build a waste-run power plant. Tucker,
- who earlier accused the government of waging a campaign against
- black legislators, denied the charges "unequivocally."
