<p> INDICTED. WALTER R. TUCKER III, 37, U.S. Representative (D-Calif.);
on charges of extorting bribes; in Los Angeles. A federal grand
jury alleged that as mayor of Compton, a struggling Southern
California city, Tucker took $30,000 and sought $250,000 more
from a company hoping to build a waste-run power plant. Tucker,
who earlier accused the government of waging a campaign against
black legislators, denied the charges "unequivocally."
