Civil Service Weinman Case Resumes Tomorrow in Topeka
A civil service hearing into Howard J. Weinman's dismissal as head of the Kansas Grain Inspection Department at Atchison will resume tomorrow. Weinman was fired Aug. 21 after an employee accepted pay from a private firm for after hours work. Weinman testified he informed the state grain director, Harry Dole, in 1957 of the arrangement. Dole said he had no memory of such a talk. Dole learned of the plan when a check arrived at his office last August. Regulations require private firms to pay the department and the department to compensate the employee. The employee reportedly endorsed checks to the department and to himself and cashed them. Weinman did not endorse or receive any money. A final witness for Weinman is expected tomorrow.
