Link Won't Divulge His Sources
Reporter Refuses to Tell Where He Got Information on Boyle
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28- (P) - Theodore Link, a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, refused today to divulge to Senate investigators the sources of his published charges that Democratic Chairman William M. Boyle, Jr., received $8,000 in connection with a government loan.
Link, testifying under oath before the Senate investigations subcommittee, said "we obtained our information from a very reliable source" but that he could not name the source "at this time."
"The matter is far from dead with us," the reporter said.
Link challenged part of Boyle's testimony yesterday.
Boyle told the committee that he personally had informed Link that American Lithofold Corp., a St. Louis printing firm which got the loans, paid him only $1,250, and that the money was a legal retainer fee which had nothing to do with the loan.
Link said Boyle "was vague" and "told me he didn't remember what he got," at an interview before Link wrote his articles.
