Washington Mayor Marion S. Barry Jr. planned to blame the city’s police for unfairly raising suspicions about him in connection with a drug investigation of one of his acquaintances, but three of his senior aides refused to go along with the idea, according to published reports in the Washington Post. Barry met with his aides throughout the day in an attempt to draft a formal statement, to be presented today, to accusations that he consorted with a man police identified as a drug suspect.
