O'NEIL ISSUES WEEKLY DENIAL

"I don't know how many times we have to go through this rigmarole, but I don't know where this has come from. It's untrue and embarrassing and what

are quite right to do."

"This story appeared three weeks ago and it was embarrassing then and it is
now. These things drift on and drift on, but it simply not true."
