Grand Jury Near End
|0f First Phase Of
Meyers Inquiry
By Robert K. Walsh

The grand jury investigation
of Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers
today was near the end of the
first phase, which repeatedly has
centered on possible charges of
perjury and subornation OF
perjury.
The Is men and s women who
have heard several witnesses testify
against the retired Air Force pur-
chasing official within the last II
days turned to other cases today
and will take up the Meyers case
again tomorrow.

however, the grand jury has made
so much progress that only few
more witnesses may be called.
Lamarres Still on Call.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bleriot H. Lamarre
were still on call and may return
briefly to answer questions on spe-
cific points. Lamarre was key
witness, who told Senate War
Investigating Subcommittee last
month that Gen. Meyers was the
real owner of the Aviation Electric
Corp. of Dayton, Ohio, and profted
to the extent of at least S150,0G0
Lamarre was president of the con-
Germ. His wife was secretary to
Meyers at one time.
Thomas E. Readnower, brother of
Mrs, Lamarre and former vice pres
ident of the Dayton company, was
the only witness yesterday He was
in the jury room an hour and a
half. Lamarre and his wife, who
testified Monday and Tuesday, were
at the courthouse expecting to be
summoned again.
Readnower returned to Dayton
last night. The Lamarres planned
to 60 to New York today. but ex-
pect to stop off in Washington next
week before going back to Ohio.
Records Studied.
Besides hearing the witnesses, the
grand jury has spent considerable
time studying the official record OF
testimony taken at the Senate sub
committee public hearings last
month and closed sessions in Octo-
ber. At the public hearings
Lamarre and Readnower de-
clared Meyers urged them to testify
falsely to cover up his alleged rela-
tionship to the Dayton company.
The fact that this phase of the
grand Jury presentation is being
handled by United States Attorney
George Morris Fay and Assistant
United States Attorney Edward
Molenof indicates the Government
hopes first to obtain indictments
charging perjury and subornation
of perjury.

chase, wrote to Raymond M. Foley

veterans living at the development
now.
