Feldman Admits Sharing Army Buying Info with Hunt
Maj. Gen. Herman Feldman testified before a Senate committee that he provided James W. Hunt with information on army buying plans in 1947 but said the data were not confidential and he did not know Hunt’s status as a so called five percenter. He pledged to justify his actions and face questioning after reading a detailed statement. Feldman noted he sought to act for the service and country, while documents showed he advised contact with Hunt and that Hunt had access to the White House. The hearing resumed with letters Feldman wrote to Hunt and Brig. Gen. Wayne R. Allen. Senator McCarthy warned of personal attacks as the inquiry continues.
