he gave Mr.. Morse. head Of this com.
pany. personal checks for $4,000
toward the purchase. The checks
were dated in advance.
Reminded by Representative Tom

ously admitted having only $40 in a
New Rochelle bank. Moulton said he
intended to put the money up to
cover the checks.
This was all a moOnshine propo-

Mou1ton replied.
Moulton said the deal collapsed
when the United States government
refused to transfer the ships to
Canadian registry. and that Mr.. Morse
released him from his obligation and
he in turn gave Mr.. Morse release.
"Swapped releases" Representative
Connally suggested.
"Oh, no." Moulton replied. Morse
