Slain Senator Would

By The Associated Press
LANSING, Feb. 10-The Carr
Grand Jury today formally charged
three dentists and four former legis-
lators with participating in a Legis-
lative graft conspiracy in 1939, and
said the defendants would have swift
Circuit Court examinations on the
warrant.
Special Prosecutor Kim Segler said
the warrant was based on evidence of
an exchange of bribes in connection
with passage of the so-called "Dental
Advertising" Law sponsored by the
Michigan State Dental Society, which
had campaigned for the measure as'
one designed to lift ethical standards
of the dental profession to a higher
plane.
Law Still on Books
The law still is on the statute books,
restricting dentists' advertising prac-
tices.
Accused in the warrant as bribe
payers are:
Dr. Edwin J. Chamberlain of Grand
Rapids, for more than 30 years treas-
urer of the Michigan State Dental
Society; Dr. Clarence J. Wright of
Lansing, chairman in 1939 of the
Society's Legislative Committee, and
Dr. M. S. DeVilliers of Detroit, a past
president of the Detroit District Den-
tal Society and a member of the
state Society's Legislative Committee.
Received Bribest
Accused of receiving bribes "and
other things of value" are:
Former Senator D. Stephen Ben-
zie, of Norway, Mich., and former
Representatives Francis J. Nowak,
Ernest G. Nagel and Earl C. Gallagh-t
