The practice was stopped this month. one official said. Hardeman refused to name the official in the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) who approved the car rentals. Several other expense items in the migrant program. and a related Community Service Foundation (CSF) VISTA training program. arent what they seem at first glance. CSF records. for example show payments to Bob Fellows. a former Tampa newsman. as a $75aday "consultant." Hardeman said Fellows was really paid for taking pictures. Fellows was paid $300 on Aug. 10. 1965. for four days of "consulting" and $375 Aug. 31. for five days. Hardeman and a Tampa attorney affiliated with the migrant program have been paid as consultants to the program also. although total amounts received by them are relatively small. CSF records show Hardeman received a $50 check Sept. 16 as a consulting fee for work done June 13. 1965. Howard Garrett. a Tampa attorney who is secretarytreasurer of CAF and chairman of the board of the newlyformed Migrant Legal Services Inc. (MLS). has received at least $660 from the Hardeman groups. Early in the program Garrett was paid $100 for two days consultation and $32 for two days per diem from CSF migrant funds. Both checks are dated July 2. 1965. Another $25 was paid to prepare a lease. Later. when the migrant program was shifted to CAF. Garretts law firm was paid a $175 consulting fee Nov. 3. 1965. and $281.25 for "consultant service" April 21. 1965. Garrett has also been paid as a $50aday lecturer in the CSP VISTA training program. but records for this program past Oct. 1. 1965. are secret.
