Gen Waitt testimony before a subcommittee followed by closed door questioning from three witnesses linked to the 1945 shipment of home freezers to Mrs. Truman and other Washington notables. The panel said it would not issue statements until after it checks the information, with days of review ahead. A witness described the freezers as “the best obtainable” amid strong public demand.

Gay’s testimony added pressure as the committee pursued Waitt’s earlier remarks about a Connecticut company’s government work.
