Remington Defended By Business Professor

A Business School professor testified in defense of William W. Remington at his perjury trial yesterday.

Bertrand Fox, professor of Business Administration, said that he had served with Remington on the War Production Board in Washington at one time. He also said that the chemical formula for making rubber or gasoline from garbage, which Remington is alleged to have given to the Soviets, was treated as a "crackpot idea" in office gossip.

Remington denied that he ever passed such a formula to the Russianas. Professor Arthur W. MacMahon of Columbia University also testified yesterday.
