Witness Denies Windfall Profit in Molybdenum Contract
Industrialist Arthur H. Bunker told a Senate Armed Services subcommittee that Climax Molybdenum did not reap a windfall from canceling its molybdenum sale to the defense stockpile. He said the government negotiated a hard bargain, denied conflicts involving consultant James P. Morgan, and noted the stockpile deal led to a $1.2 million penalty instead of $4.5 million. His daughter was murdered in Topeka, prompting him to testify despite a personal tragedy.
