given the House Military Affairs.
Committee today by Frank
Speicher, New York automobile
tube salesman.
Mr.. Speicher, who was the OBJ

Mr.. Silverman's activities in Wash

been accused by Committee Chair

nearly $500, 600 in the Capital to
obtain GoVerafa1e Business.

The highlightS of Mr.. Speicher,S:
testimony were that:
Former Assistant Secretary of

Before hearing Mr.. Speicher, the
committee requested Mr.. Payne to
appear to testify regarding his
bank and business accounts which
the committees investigators thus
