Air Force Captain Wool testified in the Senate Investigations subcommittee on a two million dollar Navy cap contract awarded to Harry Lee. He claimed a $90 profit was added by contract changes benefiting New York rival Leon Levy, who allegedly paid Wool a $50,000 bribe offer. Wool denied bribes but admitted tax deduction fraud related to a Morris town dress shop. The panel noted penalties on cap scraps saved Levy about $41,000 and questioned awarding seven million caps to Levy despite Puerto Rico plant inexperience.
