Diary Exposes Feldman Asked Hunt for Capitol Contacts
Senate investigators confronted Maj. Gen. Herman Feldman with James V. Hunt diary passages claiming Feldman asked Hunt in 1948 to reach out to contacts in Congress about retirement legislation for army officers. Feldman admitted talking with Hunt but denied requesting contact with Capitol Hill. He denied knowledge Hunt was a five percenter and said he would not have allowed Hunt in his office if he had known. The probe also covers use of military planes by perfume company agents and high priority air transport space.
