McLeaish . conceded he made a "mistake" in listing his pre vious salary as $8000 annually when he filled out a govern ment employment form in 1953. Actually, he said, the salary was $6000 a year. "How many federal employees have been fired for such errors," asked H. W. Brawley, .the com mittee's staff director. "I found out that there have been some," McLeaish replied. McLeaish testified that until his resignation he held a top secret security clearance which takes drinking habits into con sideration. He said he felt he was "suitable" for the clearance, but added that "that's a matter of opinion. I don't think I'm a habitual drunkard or even a casual drunkard," he said. "I have is sued strict instructions that no employees of the Farmers Home Administration do any drinking during hours of official duty." Disgruntled Employees He insisted he followed that rule himself, except that he "might have a drink during the day while traveling." A witness said charges that he drank heavily came mostly from former employees who were, discharged when he re duced the staff after taking of fice in 1953. He testified that he did not drink while attending field meet ings "until the meetings were over." McLeaish's resignation was announced by the White House late Tuesday. It came a couple of hours after a Texas insurance company official testified ti a t McLeaish once asked if he could give some government insurance business to "friends of the administration."
