Minges, a major stock holder in Fayetteville Tractor and Equipment Co., estimated the com pany’s contingent liabilities at ♦750,000 when it collapsed this spring. He declared that even then he believed the business could have been saved by proper manage ment. Receiver Dolph Berry Indicated the defunct firm’s liabilities may run to twice that amount. He asked Minges: “If I told you the liabilities were $1% million would you still think they were only three-quarters of a million?” “Yes,” said Minges, “I think that would be too high." Minges made his statements in the second day of hearings being conducted at Fayetteville by Ber ry into the operations of the vast farm equipment dealership. Berry has liquidated the firm. On Tuesday Berry and his at torney questioned John McLamb, general manager of Fayetteville Tractor, for a full day. R. B. Min_ ges and his brother, L. D. Minges were questioned Wednesday. The Minges and McLamb each owned 40 of the firm’s total of 300 shares of capital stock. R. B. Minges told Berry that he bejieved that with proper man agement the company’s debts could have been paid off over a pwf'.-d of sever*! years Me said two-thirds of it could have been paid over the next two years, and the rest later. “I think the finance companies would have gone along with us,” he declared. Audit Being Made An official accounting of the size of Fayetteville Tractor s debts has never been made public. When asked, Berry has said he does not know. He said an audit was being made but won’t be completed for some time. L. D. Minges, during his ap &Jtance before ^§3 receiver, ex plained -why Fayetteville Tractor had paid for a film made by him while on a hunting safari to Af ica. Under questioning by attorney Duane Gilliam, Minges said he was asked by McLamb to appear at farmers meetings in the area, “I said I would show my pic tures. so he said he would pay’ half the cost of the film,” Minges said. Asked if he knew how much the firm paid, he said he did not, but said he bought $600 worth of film before leaving, and bought more after going abroad. He said the cost of copying the film was as much as the original film. On Tuesday, McLamb had test ified the cost to the company was about $900. Film, Not Shown Minges admitted that the pic ture never was shown at a farm ers meeting. He said he had scheduled to show it at a meeting in Grays Creek. But he said Fayetteville Tractor did not have a projector on which the film could be shown, so he did not go. Minges said he had a projector o| his own. "Has Fayetteville Tractor Co. ever made any use of the film?” Gilliam asked Minges. "No. They never bought a pro jector to use It. They couldn’t ■show it on the projector they had.” “Where is the film now?” Gil liam asked. ‘■'I have it.
