Simonds, representing the Ford Mo-

his alleged proposition" while Haig.
Simonds and Sabine were leaving
Camp Holabird after the opening OF

"As / recall" Simonds testified,
"after the bids were opened, We were
leaving Holabird and were on our way
outside the buildings when Sabine
and 1 encountered Haig.
There were some comments as to
the low prices the Fargo Corporation
was bidding (the Fargo company is
subsidiary of Chrysler).
MY recollection is that Haig re-
marked that Fargo was bidding rather
low and that he didn't see why Ford
and Chevrolet and Chrysler could not
get together-that Chevrolet would
be satisfied with proper share OF the
profits. He didn't amplfy this state
ment."
Simonds said the conversation took
place as the trio approached the out
side driveway where automobiles were
parked. The witness said Sabine
made some remark as to the impos-
sibility of effecting any arrange
ment." Simonds said he did not at
the time regard the matter as being
of sufficient significance to report to
