Washington Lawyer O'Donnell Tied to Philippine War Fees
Washington lawyer John A. O'Donnell served on the Philippine War Damages Commission from 1947 to 1951 and later represented claimants before it. Senator Fulbright estimates O'Donnell has earned about 715000 in fees from private claimants and religious groups, with potential sugar company fees still to come, all fixed by a 5 percent law. Fulbright proposes amending the law to direct the 73 million to the Philippine government for economic rehabilitation, removing private fees. The probe notes O'Donnell contributed 7100 to 1960 congressional campaigns, exposing a lobbying pattern among Washington lawyers who profit from government knowledge.
