Witnesses and pleas in Dayton aviation case unfold

Innocent was the dummy president of Dayton aircraft parts plant owned by Meyers, a 52 year old, set to be main government witness against the retired New York general. The defendant posted $1,000 bail in Dayton last month and entering pleas dominated yesterday’s brief proceeding. Lamarre initially sought a guilty plea but the judge required him to enter the plea himself. The charges stem from a Senate inquiry into Meyers private wartime business activities, alleging lying about financial interests in Aviation Electric Company, a 1942 Cadillac buy, and $10,000 redecorating costs for a Washington apartment. Meyers and Lamarre are accused of inducing the other to repeat the false statements.
