Plant official testifies on May calls in Garsson bribery trial
Maj. Gen. Levin H. Campbell testified that blitz calls from former Congressman Andrew J. May for the Garsson munitions empire caused confusion in Army ordnance. He described orders as geared to 1 billion dollars monthly and urged following definite channels despite emergencies. The government says May took 53000 in bribes for House Military Affairs influence. A transcript showed May complaining in 1944 that Garsson bids were blocked for 100 pound bombs and subcontract offers arose.
