Gillen demands speedy hearing in Morse case
Martin J. Gillen, former antagonist to the Shipping Board chairman, calls for a Congressional inquiry to reveal the truth in the Morse case. He accuses the Shipping Board of using indictments to cover a breach of contract costing the government $9,000,000 and seeks a two day hearing to present evidence. He asserts improper authority and withholds key facts from the grand jury.
