Woman relates spree in restaurant in Montana
Mrs Kathryn Carter testified before a Senate subcommittee that two top Agriculture Department officials and several FHA staff became heavily intoxicated at a 1954 West Yellowstone dinner during a Montana FHA convention. She said R B McLeaish and Homer Cogdell led the kissing of the women, while Earl Hansen, now resigned, played a central role through boisterous conduct. Husbands escorted their wives out as the men drank and misbehaved.
