Hall Asserts
Freck Charge
Not 'Germane'
t (Story also on page 1)
Charges pro and con that Joseph
O. Freck, sr., was guilty of miscon
duct as a liquor commissioner
were aired freely at Freck's hear
ing before Gov. John Hall yester
day, but the governor allowed no
reference to Freck's complaint that
the governor had tried to pressure
the commission.
' Hall said such complaint was
not "germane" to the issues involv
ed. ;
When Freck mentioned prospec
tive purchase of "a large amount
of whisky," which he declares the
governor wanted to have the com
mission buy, Hall ordered it strick
en from the record.
In pursuing that point, Freck
was following the written state
ment and "offer of proof which
Hall had conditionally accepted at
the hearing. The two statements
charge Hall with working both
with the commissioners and H. V.
Garvin, commission purchasing
agent, in trying to have whiskey
purchased from the Federal Dis
tilling company of Denver, and also

Memorandum Presented
One of the documents given Hall
for consideration in the hearing
purported to be a copy of a mem
orandum from Garvin to; W. W,
Hammond, state liquor adminis
trator. It was this memorandum
which Freck declared wasldispos-
ed of at the August 10 commis
sion meeting because it "would be
very harmful to the governor.
The memorandum reportedly in
formed Hammond of Hall's efforts
to have the whisky purchased.!
Regarding the cellophane card
holders for which Freck's station
ery firm was paid $5200, or $13 a
thousand, A. N. Wysong, assistant
state purchasing agent, said he ob
tained four bids recently to deter
mine the justice of the price and
found three of them under Freck's
price. I
The bids Wysong detailed in
cluded the Kings-Bacher-Iurphy
company $11.50, American Plastic
Products company $10, Transpar
ent Shade company $8. :
Bids Compared
On three other items purchased
from Freck's firs, Wysong said the
bids he obtained to compare them
with Freck's prices showed that
$155.88 could have been saved.
On 4800 flash box opener blades
for which Freck was paid $336.
Wysong said the J. K. GUI firm
bid $270: on desk lamns for which
$18.50 and $14.75 was paid. Wy
song said he had bids of $12.50
and $10; and on photographer sup
plies costing $217.44, Wysong said
he had a bid from Eastman Kodak
stores of $152.48.
In some instances (he I named
only filing cabinets), Wysong said
Freck's price was lower than any
bid obtainable during the Investi
gation. Purchases of the liquor commis
sion are made by the commission's
purchasing agents. Wysong said his
own investigation was asked ; by
Governor Hall.
