Washington June 7 A House judiciary subcommittee investigation into alleged top ring political intervention in a war contract fraud case collapsed amid denials and admissions. Former assistant Petzer testified he wrote a note at 4 am after a party claiming A. Howard McGrath and William M Boyle were linked to a war contract, a claim he said was false. Walter Sprague testified Petzer left the note in a Detroit hotel room as he sought overcharge recovery for Advanen Plating. Bauer said Petzer had a meeting with McGrath. Petzer denied any appointment with McGrath and said the note was not true.
