mittee yesterday that he committed

with radio broadcasters.
The contentious, which Mr.. Fly
vigorously denied, were:
/. That he 'put pressure" on
Ralph A. Horton Of Miami, influence
ing him to sell Station WFTL there
to Fort Industry Co., Detroit.
2. That he accepted a gratuity'
from George B. Storer, president of
Fort Industry, in the form Of q paid
bill for $17.30 at the Biltmore Hotel,
Atlanta.
Don't you consider these acts
improper and unbecoming the head
of the Federal Communications
Commission?" Attorney j. j. Srica
asked Mr.. Fly at a herring of the
Lea committee investigating FEC.
Mr.. Fly replied that If Mr.. Storer
paid the bill he later repaid him
and that he had not tried to influ-
ence Mr.. Horton in any transac-
ton Of his station. Mr. Storer testi-
fled later that Mr.. Fly had repaid
him for the bill.
Mr.. Sirica introduced records
