New Report That Senator Uttered Slurs
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 - Another acquaintance of Senator George Allen
said Tuesday that she heard him use a racial slur in 1976,
contradicting a statement he made Monday in an effort to tamp down
similar accusations.
Mr. Allen's campaign manager, Dick Wadhams, called the account by the
woman, Ellen G. Hawkins, "another false accusation."
Mr. Allen, a Virginia Republican whose re-election campaign has been
knocked off balance by the accusations, said Monday that he did not
remember ever using the term and that "it is absolutely false that
that was ever part of my vocabulary."
