Ben Greay, so-called 'mystery' employee of the Associated Gas and Electric Co., pictured as he arrived at the Securities and Exchange Commission today for questioning. Grey, who was on the utility's payroll at $5,000 a month for 11 months, told the S.E.C. that the White House made an appointment for him to see Frank R. McNinch, then head of the Federal Power Commission. He would not say who at the White House arranged the appointment but did not admit that he spent an hour with McNinch and told him that Associated Gas and Electric Co. would be willing to spend as much as $150,000,000 for new construction if tax liens would be lifted temporarily so the company could refund certain securities. He testified he also met with Ben Cohen and with late Herman Oliphant, Treasury Counsel. He said Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau refused him an interview
