May Called Back To Witness Stand Today
Defense attorneys summoned ex-Congressman Andrew J. May back to the witness stand to deny government charges of $55,000 in wartime bribes. May, a 12-year Kentucky Democrat with heart ailment, testified four days as the case against him and munitions-makers Henry and Murray Garsson continued into its second month. The court gave longer recesses and warned May’s counsel to remove him if his condition worsened. The Senate agreed to vote Monday on postponing action on the $4,000,000,000 income tax cut bill before June 19.
