Rankin says phones tapped amid utilities fight in Congress
Rep. John E Rankin of Mississippi testified before the House lobbying inquiry that his telephone lines were tapped during the utilities holding companies debate. He alleged telephone firms aided utilities in opposing the death sentence and said the matter was referred to the justice department and then the FCC. He added other lawmakers reported similar taps as they faced pressure from utility-linked interests. He noted it would be hard to obtain information on the alleged telephone tie up. He also addressed Brewster’s separate charges from Maine.
