Industrialist Denies Profit From 1957 Stockpile Contract
Washington industrialist Arthur H. Bunker denied claims that his firm reaped windfall profits from canceling a 1957 defense stockpile contract. He said the government drove a hard bargain and later boasted about it. Bunker testified amid personal tragedy as his daughter Daphne was found strangled in Topeka. He noted a Climax Molybdenum consultant also advised the government, but he said that man had no role in the contract cancellation. He argued no payment should have been made for cancellation and repeated his belief in the firm’s innocence.
