...Japanese women gave Mrs. Reagan a lacquer box (valued at $75), which she turned over to White House officials. Allen stepped forward when another of the women tried to give Mrs. Reagan an envelope and some newsclippings. When asked by one of the women to sign a receipt for the envelope, Allen declined. He did not return the envelope, says the report, "because he thought it would offend" the Japanese...
...Executive Office Building after the interview, Allen opened the envelope. Only then, the report says, did he realize that it contained ten $100 bills. The FBI does not explain why Allen decided to intercept the envelope in the first place, or why he was asked to sign a receipt for it without being told of the contents. Allen told his secretary, Irene Derus, that the money should be turned over to appropriate officials. She placed it in a four-drawer safe and, says the report, "Allen did not thereafter see the envelope." Shortly after Jan. 21, Allen told both...
Until the first climatic moments, the brisk plot and dialogue at least carry the audience along. But a swift downhill progression ensues, virtually eliminating all dramatic tension. When the ignorant Lutiebelle, having passed herself off as Cousin Bea, mistakenly signs a receipt for the $500 with her own name instead of Bea's--a costly gaffe to Purlie's dreams--the actors don't play the moment wrong; they simply don't play it at all. Charron glances at the check, looks at his son, and says, "Charlie get the sheriff" without so much as blinking...
...SERENDIPITOUS CASE OF Richard Allen suffers from a problem of definition. The furor aroused by the national security adviser's receipt of $1000 from a Japanese magazine and subsequent memory lapse on the subject obscures the more important questions about him. We certainly don't know his motives in the case; but we must agree with his own assessment that he showed "bad judgement." But regardless of his culpability in the thousand-dollar-caper, Allen has demonstrated both before and after his appointment to this key post a remarkable unsuitability to it. President Reagan would be doing...
Last week the FBI was still trying to pin down how much Allen received from the Japanese. For some reason, the figure $10,000 was written on both the envelope containing the cash and on "some kind of receipt" found in Allen's safe. Officials of the Japanese magazine quickly insisted they paid only $ 1,000 to Allen. Two aides to the National Security Adviser also confirmed to the FBI that the envelope held only ten $100 bills. Secretary of the Navy John Lehman said he remembered Allen's telling him that he planned to turn it over...
