Meyers, self-styled millionaire and
keynoting promoter of the Peoples

now a shipyard worker.
Christenson, whose testimony
during the initial trials of P. G. &

frequently highlighted by some
what sensational disclosures, con
fined his current testimony to the
more restricting issues involving
Meyers alone and in Jess spec
tacular form.
Providing testimony in a sim

tions and personnel, other wit
nesses complemented Christenson’s
evidence Friday. They included
M. B. Fisher, former general sales
director for the oil company, and
his wife, Mrs. Mae Fisher; C. N.
Cedariand, L. J. Tusing and Mrs.
Marvin M. Scott, all of whom
were actively engaged in sales
promotion.
