Harry C. Wildner, president of
Nickel Processing and vice pres
lident of National Lead, testified
National Leads engineers went
Iover the qualifications of the
many companies seeking the
construction job. He said they
came up with this list: Merritt
Chapman. Snare, Raymond Con-
crete Pile Co. and Stone &
Webster.
WolfsOn Interested
Mr.. Wildner said he then
asked Mr.. Wolfson if he were
interested and Mr.. Wolfson said
he was. The witness said he had
met Mr.. Wolfson and also Mr.,
ISchott once or twice.
The final recommendation to
IGSA, which had to approve the
contract. was that it go to Mer-
rift Chapman with Snare having
Ia minor part. He said that in
the preliminaries others than
himself discussed the contract
with Merritt hapman's repre-
sentatives.
Mr.. Hardy found it surprising
that the Merritt people seeking
the job had not got in to see
Mr.. Wildner as "the top man"
Mr.. Wildner said this was so.
There was read into the rec
ord a letter to James P. Pinkley
of GSA, who has supervision of
the nickel operations, from Carl
T. Linderholm, GSA project en-
girieer.
Purchase Listed
1t listed what was described
as purchases for the Nicare job
from subsidiaries of Merritt
Chapman and National Lead.
Purchases amounting to 1927, 1854
were recorded as having been
made from the Milton Steel Divi-
sion and the Marion Power
Shovel Co., both Wolfson inter-
ests, and the Southern Pipe g.
Supply Co., one of his early
companies. Purchases from Ma
tional Lead were put at $3,I67.
Another witness was w. H.
Gerstle, purchasing agent for the
Snare company and, until last
June, purchasing agent for
Snare-Merritt. the joint venture.
The reason for his departure
from Snare-Merritt was unex-
planned, apparently even to him.
He testified two cranes with
shovels were purchased from the
Marion company although an
other company was low bidder by
about $4,000 apiece. He said
the purchases went through on
instructions he felt he was
obliged to follow.
