Denies Charge in Senate Hearing on Graft Probe
In a dramatic Senate subcommittee session, Leo Lev offered a $0.03 rebate to the government on a contract dispute, drawing a check to the U S Treasury. He cited a meeting with Mrs. Mella Hart of Westfield New Jersey who denied pressuring him for $15 000. Lev said he bought Hart about 300 in clothing and faced questions about possible graft tied to the armed forces uniform procurement program. He stated his daughter’s presence would be embarrassing if his papers were shown.
