The Telenews Daily - Washington Headlines (Five Percenters Investigation)
07:14:00 Man being sworn in, sits down. Committee w/ Karl Mundt, Margaret Chase Smith, Eugene McCarthy, etc.
07:14:13 Man at microphones w/ arms folded speaks (SOF): “It seems to me I met him in Milwaukee.” “What was the occasion?” “He was there at some social gathering.” “With whom?” “General Bond”. “Is that the first time you met him?” “Yes.” “Did you have an occasion to talk to him?” “Yes, I believe I did talk to him.” “Did he tell you what his business was?” “I think he talked so much I didn’t remember all the details.” “When you left did you know what business he was in?” “No, but I guess I was impressed w/ his importance.” “In other words he represented that he had a lot of influence?” “I don’t know if he did that, but he said he’d lived in Washington a long time & knew everyone.”
07:15:04 “Did you have any discussion at all about fees?” “I have a vague recollection that I gave him $500.” “Well, if you paid a man $500, wouldn’t you have a vivid recollection of it?” (applause) “Well if I ‘d been paying out my own money I probably would have, but I was paying out the Allied money.” “Well even paying out somebody else’s money you don’t pay out $500 to a man every day or two?” “In all probabiliy I gave him that other $500 or I wouldn’t have reported it to the Allied.” “Why do you say you paid him $500 in cash or not...you know or not?” “...I think so; for the record I paid it.” Swish pan.
07:15:57 CU Joseph McCarthy, SOF: “I think the country is extremely fortunate that we do have such a fair minded Chairman conducting this hearing; I am sure that he will insist that all fruitful angles will be explored & as the hearing continues the developments will be very interesting.”
