A Justice Department attorney testified that prosecutors never charged Norman E. Miller and Associates for war fraud because many witnesses dropped out.

Miller was indicted in 1944 for $14,000 in fraud but the case was dropped in 1950 as it aged. Miller could not be located for the hearing, reported to be in Florida.
