- DIED. Wayne Hays, 77, 14-term U.S. Representative from Ohio
- whose congressional career ended in 1976 after a sex scandal
- involving a "committee clerk," Elizabeth Ray; of a heart attack;
- in Wheeling, W. Va. At first Hays denied a Washington Post report
- that he had given Ray a $14,000 federal job for personal reasons,
- though she later confessed, "I can't type. I can't file. I can't
- even answer the phone." But he tearfully acknowledged the
- relationship two days later and subsequently abandoned his seat to
- end an ethics committee investigation of the affair.
