Senate Opens Probe on Bribery Attempt for Tariff Vote
Washington May 16 Special The Lodge resolution to investigate bribery attempts to sway senators Hunton and Kyle to vote against the tariff bill stirs debate. The alleged lobbyist W Buttz is described as an aging former congressman from South Carolina. Hunton confirms the episode occurred over a month ago and says he notified bill managers, while Kyle is away. The second section may reveal sugar trust influences, but prospects of discovering facts appear slim, forecasting a farce.
