Raymond Fields of Guymon and Franklin Salisbury of Washington testified that Shefferman urged forming a firm to buy land from the American Legion at 15 dollars per square foot and resell to the union at 8 dollars, boosting the union price by about 71 dollars. The plan collapsed and the property went directly to the union at 15 dollars. Fields, resigning as Legion PR chief, cited a lawyer friend warning of a looming labor racketeering expose. LaVerne Duffy, a committee staff investigator, said Shefferman later presented the union a bill and was paid to lower the price from 18 to 15 dollars per square foot.
