I can find one reference to a claim from a Vacuum Oil Company mechanic that he was bribed to sabotage a still which caused a sabotage a still. The website appears to be an online edition of a book, and it looks less than reputable. Is this what you're referring to?

There are references in Daniel Yergin's _The Prize_ IIRC, and the anecdotal references to "Wreckafeller". I'd have to dig for specifics.
