Meyers Denies Morgenthau Advice On War Bonds
Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers testified he and his wife bought 4 million dollars in wartime government bonds and made a 90 thousand dollar paper profit after consulting Treasury secretary Morgenthau who said he did not see how it could go wrong. Meyers claimed he and his wife did not sell the bonds and that the Treasury discouraged speculation in government securities. He also disputed Hughes loan claims, saying Hughes offered 250 thousand dollars which he refused, while Hughes testified Meyers sought 200 thousand to finance 10 million in bond bets. The Senate committee continued questioning amid broader probes into wartime contracts.
