FEC Records Faxed
To Shield Absentee,
House Witness SAYS

BY the Associated Press
Miss Olive Amelia Merrill, Iuka,
Miss, former Federal Communica-
items Commission employe, told a
House committee yesterday she was
required by a supervisor to falsify
personnel records to "cover up" for
a fellow worker who was in a hos
pital for several weeks last year.
Miss Merrill, testifying before the
Lea Committee, which is inquiring
into the FEC, said the records were
changed at the insistence of Chester
A. Teitgen, who now is in the Army.
Changes were made in the records
to show that Lula Martin Adderley
was at work when she was actually
in a hospital, Miss Merrill testified,
adding that fellow workers, at Mr.
Teitgens request, worked on their
off days for the absentee.
She said production records of
Katie Hoffman also were changed
to show that she was good typist
when, the witness asserted, she "just
wrote letters or read stories"
Asked by Committee Counsel
Eugene L. Carey why that was done
Miss Merrill said it was because Mr.
Teitgen said he liked Miss Hoffman.
The witness testified she left FEC
employ voluntarily, by transfer to
another agency, and had enlisted in
the WACS, with which she will soon
60 on active duty.

LONDON, Feb. Prime Minister
Churchill, in letter to a govern
ment candidate for Commons made
public yesterday, said he found many
persons charged with unwarranted
optimism and commented on the

any one is free to push personal or
party ends without regard to the
common interest,"" the Prime Min

His letter was prompted by a
political squabble in Brighton,
where he accused the independent

to gain votes by labelling himself a
government supporter.
