HOUSE CALLS FOR FBI HELP

Still smarting from getting nowhere with tight-lipped accounting lawyer Nancy Temple, Congressional probers are calling on the FBI to work her over.

The House panel that probed the accounting scandals of Arthur Andersen all year requested the Justice Department yesterday to being a criminal probe that could land Temple in prison.

The House panel wants U.S. Attorney John Ashcroft to put his FBI investigators on her case to see if she lied to Congress.
