Frank Nathan, accused in an attempted $500000 tax fix shakedown, testified he went to race tracks with T Lamar Caudle but believes he never spoke with the ousted assistant attorney general about taxes. Nathan said many people approached him about tax matters and advised hiring a lawyer. He sparred with House Ways and Means members for two hours, with Adrian Dewind leading questioning. Nathan described his main business as making deals and recounted War Assets dealings and an Alcoa plant scrap tie, noting $57000 in his share.
